Sessions are heavily focused on mobility and flexibility work.

Age is but a number!

The purpose of this program is to help teach you healthier consumption habits, provide you with the tools to make educated food choices and to inspire to get yourself in the kitchen a bit more! We go over recipes that fit your lifestyle and each program is entirely customized to you and your goals. Together, we track everything from your water consumption to meals and snacks.

About

I’ve been an athlete my entire life. From club soccer to competitive water polo to collegiate rugby at the University of Southern California, exercise and fitness have always been an important pillar in my life. After being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in 2017, I struggled with finding ways to maintain my fitness. Doing functional tasks like carrying groceries up two flights of stairs proved to be challenging. Wanting to educate and help myself get back to an active and self-sufficient lifestyle, I decided to pursue an education in personal fitness. In 2018 I earned my personal training certification from the American Council of Exercise (ACE).

With my new fitness education I trained myself from carrying groceries up the stairs to getting back to running a 10K races. Soon thereafter I also started training clients in Los Angeles, California, including those with fellow auto-immune diseases, showing them that a self- sufficient and active lifestyle is possible.

Always wanting to expand my knowledge, I decided to dive into nutritional studies completed my Nutritional Coaching certification in 2020 from ACE. I also completed my CrossFit® Level 1 training and became a CF-L1 Trainer in 2022.

From 2021-2022 I studied Applied Function Science (AFS) during my time at an esteemed sports rehab and physical therapy clinic in San Diego, California. AFS emphasizes three dimensional functional movement and mobility which mirrors how we move in daily life.

When I’m not working out at my home gym you can catch me surfing, hiking, camping out of my rooftop tent (my dream is to hit every National Park in my lifetime) loving up on my Labrador Retriever mix Jesse, cooking healthy meals and dancing the night away with my friends under the techno disco ball.

Testimonials

"She tailors the workouts to your experience level."

Aarin and I met in Cape Town of all places, on a hike that nearly killed me. Between almost passing out, I learned that both of our dads are South African and we’re both writers that live in LA. A bit later I noticed that she got her personal training certificate. I really wanted to start working out again but I couldn’t find anywhere that worked with my schedule and budget. I reached out Aarin and she fit both so I started training with her. It’s been amazing. She tailors the workouts to your experience level and incorporates amazing exercises. She’s also a great motivator which is good because I can be a baby when I’m tired. I have felt myself get stronger every time we work together. She raises the intensity of the workouts when she sees you are ready for it, which gets better results. If you’re looking for a personal trainer in LA you should reach out to her! Aarin is experienced, knowledgeable, fun, and gets the results you want.

"Super encouraging and non-judgmental energy that kept me engaged and motivated".

I took a few weeks of personal training with Aarin at the start of 2020. I don’t consider myself especially athletic and it’s been difficult for me to maintain a regular and diversified exercise regimen in the past, but Aarin made our Saturday morning workouts super enjoyable and also offered really helpful nutritional coaching as well. It was a great way to reset and think about my fitness/wellness goals in a new way. Aarin has a super encouraging and non-judgmental energy that kept me engaged and motivated each week. She was super thoughtful in coming up with a workout plan and was cognizant of any injuries me or my workout buddy had as well! We even did a virtual workout post-pandemic and it was awesome!! Cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to workout with her again!

"I’ve seen a huge improvement in my overall wellbeing."

I initially reached out to Aarin due to my sleeping issues, which I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember. I’d seen her Instagram posts on the importance of sleep and a holistic approach to health and fitness, which seemed different from other fitness programs I’d researched. During our initial call, she really took the time to listen to my reservations and worries, given that I had a complicated, rather toxic relationship to my body, physical fitness, and food. I’m happy to say that after working with Aarin these past few months, I’ve been able to find a lot of joy in creating new healthy habits. With the new tools she’s given me, I’ve seen a huge improvement in my overall wellbeing. I’m especially grateful to partner with Aarin on my nutrition. At first, I’d been nervous about food journaling each week, but Aarin always comes into our sessions with a positive energy, while also making sure to hold me accountable to my goals. I love that she always brings new food or recipe ideas to me so that we can find what works for my lifestyle. She has always emphasized building habits rather than adhering to a specific diet. The kindness she shows me makes me want to extend that same kindness to myself and my body!

"It was the most enjoyable and dynamic personal training I’ve ever had"

I’d seen Aarin’s training videos on Instagram prior to training with her and really liked the intensity of her workouts. I like weight training exercises that leave you sweaty! Our initial meeting we planned out goals and tracked my current diet and exercise routine. I had specific goals regarding building my chest muscles after surgery and I found it so thoughtful and impressive how much she researched my situation. And I did feel like my chest became more defined by the end! Aarin came to training sessions prepared and on time, and kept scheduling easy and flexible. I love getting a full body workout using minimal pieces of equipment, and even after (6) 45-minute sessions just once a week, I felt a lot more confident about continuing routines like this on my own. It was the most enjoyable and dynamic personal training I’ve ever had (and I’ve had 3 others!)
