Diana is a NASM-certified personal trainer. Her love of being physically active started at a young age. As a child, she spent summers camping, hiking, canoeing, and sailing with her family. The rest of the year was filled with martial arts training and doing anything outside. After years of participating in fitness classes she decided to take her love of fitness to the next level and become a personal trainer. She looks forward to helping others in their fitness journey and assisting them in achieving their goals.

“Fitness is not about being better than someone else… it’s about being better than you used to be.”

Santiago graduated with a B.S. in Psychology and a minor in Sociology in Spring 2019 from Washington State University in Pullman, WA. After graduating he moved back to Yakima where he gained employment at a local franchise gym as a service member representative. Shortly after, COVID-19 happened, and with that, the whole shutdown came along. During this time, he decided to pursue his own fitness journey. Having some weights, bands, and a mat was not enough, as he was eager to learn more about health and fitness. He decided to expand his knowledge by enrolling in a personal trainer course, and at the beginning of 2021, San got certified as a personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise (ACE).

Once certified, Santiago began personal training. In 2022, San got recertified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine where he learned so much more about personal training! He is currently a certificed Nutrition Coach, TRX Group Fitness Instructor, and a Golf Fitness Specialist. During his spare time, San enjoys weight lifting, TRX workouts and anything that keeps him active. He is currently working on getting certified as a bodybuilding and physique coach and when he’s not learning something new he likes to spend time at home with his two dogs and three cats. “To me, this is not just a job but something I am truly passionate about.
