Janel is a nationally certified Master Fitness Trainer, experienced health and wellness professional since 2005, helping people improve their physical health, mobility, strength, and quality of life.. Her professional experience extends beyond traditional personal training, with a strong background in functional fitness, corrective exercise, nutritional planning and lifestyle coaching.
Before focusing primarily on older adults and seniors, Janel worked as a Paraeducator with the Long Beach Unified School District, where she supported a diverse population of younger adults, including individuals with learning disabilities. This experience strengthened her ability to recognize different learning styles, communicate effectively, adapt instruction, and meet people where they are. Over time, her professional focus shifted toward older adults and seniors, where she found a strong passion for helping people maintain strength, mobility, balance, independence, and confidence as they age.
In 2001, Janel became a nationally certified Master Fitness Trainer and shortly thereafter earned the Master of Changing Lives Award**, along with multiple Trainer Fit Pro Production Awards for her accomplishments in the fitness industry. She is certified with NASM (National Academy of Sport Medicine) as a Corrective Exercise Specialist. Her extensive experience with older adults and seniors includes functional strength, mobility, balance, flexibility, corrective exercise, program design, adaptive coaching, nutritional planning, and lifestyle coaching.
In her spare time, Janel enjoys staying active, spending time with family and friends, engaging in meaningful conversation, and getting to know people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. She also enjoys continuing her education, particularly in the areas of mental and physical health, and learning more about how these areas contribute to overall well-being.
