Private Yoga Instructors in Santa Cruz, CA

Hi, I’m Arnold, NASM-Certified Personal Trainer and founder of CIMA Fitness — specializing in Fat Loss, Corrective Exercise, and General Strength. At CIMA Fitness, it’s not just about pushing harder or lifting heavier. It’s about moving better, feeling better, and building a body that performs just as well outside the gym as it does inside. When we work together, we start with identifying the right muscles to stretch (tight, overused ones) and the right ones to strengthen (weak, underactive ones). This creates balance, better posture, and pain-free movement. From there, we systematically progress through: ✅ Unlocking mobility & improving posture ✅ Building real-world strength & stability ✅ Enhancing endurance and muscle mass ✅ Creating sustainable fat-loss results Whether you’re sitting for hours at a desk or dealing with chronic tightness, we’ll design a customized plan that fits your lifestyle — including smart training, practical nutrition, and clear, achievable goals. Let’s make every session count. 💬 Reach out today to book your FREE consultation — and start building a body that works with you, not against you. ——————————————————————— Certifications & Credentials 💪 Passionate Fitness Enthusiast (Since 2014) 📚 NASM Certified Personal Trainer (2019) 🍏 NASM Certified Nutrition Coach (2020) 📉 NASM Weight Loss Specialist (2021) 🦵 NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist (2023) 🌟Certified StretchLab Flexologist (2024)
