Total Fitness welcomes Nina Lynn

We are delighted to welcome Nina Lynn of Los Angeles, California, to our team of fitness, nutrition and healing coaches.

What is so special about Nina Lynn?

She is creative. Nina has developed her own unique system of core exercise - Core-Rhythmics, through her many years of training as a gymnast, dancer and physical therapist. The goal of Core-Rhythmics is to revitalize your core energy and awaken inner radiance.

Nina lives and breathes success. She began her athletic career as California State Champion in high school gymnastics, and went on to become an accomplished business woman. She owns two full-service health clubs in St. Augustine and Palm Coast, Florida. At the age of 50, Nina radiates more healthy chi than many women in their mid-20s. She knows not only what it takes to be healthy, but what it takes to be successful in many areas of life.

She is an adventurous entrepreneur At an age when many are contemplating retirement, Nina chose to follow her dream of working in Hollywood. Although fitness trainers are a dime a dozen in Los Angeles, Nina recognized that no one there was doing exactly what we at Total Fitness are doing here in Atlanta. She has studied with us personally and integrated our systems of working with clients in her personal practice in California.

She has a passion for expanding her horizons. Despite the fact that Nina already earned a B.S. in Physical Education from San Francisco State University, with a minor in Physical Therapy and danced and choreographed professionally for 20 years, Nina continues to pursue the latest information in fitness, nutrition and healing. Nina is an A.C.S.M. certified Health and Fitness Instructor as well as CHEK Level 3 Nutrition and Lifestyle Coach. She has also studied Posturology as well as Contact Reflex Analysis, and has recently completed the Nutrition Mastery and Willingness programs with us at Total Fitness.

Why would an Atlanta-based company extend our network to California? Hardly a week goes by when we do not receive a call or an email asking for a referral for a Total Fitness practitioner.

Although there are many fitness trainers, nutritionists and healers around the U.S. and all over the world, what is unique about the Total Fitness approach is the way we successfully integrate the best in fitness, nutrition and alternative healing. This empowers our clients to achieve exceptional results.

If you live in the Los Angeles area and have been looking for a Total Fitness practitioner to work with you, you can email Nina or by calling 323-336-7677. Check out Nina's biography here.

Please join us in welcoming this very talented practitioner to our team of fitness, nutrition and healing coaches.

Client Testimonial

Finding Your Dharma - Rediscovering Health and Passion.

Jill Retter, 26, came to Total Fitness for life coaching with Catherine Carrigan.

"Before coming to Total Fitness I felt very stuck," she recalls. "Nothing I tried to do made me feel better. I was very tired, irritable and unmotivated in my career. "I was completely unhappy in my work because I knew I was not in the right industry, but I didn't know what I wanted to do or what was a good fit for me." While working with Catherine, Jill learned about the concept of dharma.

You are doing your dharma when you are doing what you are uniquely meant to do here on earth in only the way you can do it. Finding your dharma is more than a matter of finding a new job or career - it's about finding your true passion in life, your true gift to the world, and understanding how you can uniquely make a huge difference in the lives of others through your work. In just six weeks, Jill discovered her dharma. The excitement was palpable. Since then, she has been eagerly researching and planning the career of her dreams in every spare moment.

"Now I feel like a different person. I feel in control of my life, my health and my future." Along the way, Jill learned that in order to contribute the most to others, she also needed to be healthier herself.

"I learned that nutrition is the first step in helping you become happy and healthy and that everything can fall into place with a healthy gut. I learned that I had a major food allergy, gluten, and at 26 I had been eating wrong my whole life. I have already told all my friends and co-workers that they need to go to Total Fitness because it is the best way to become healthy. At Total Fitness, you can choose what you want to work on and see results right away. In only 6 weeks I feel so much healthier, I have no headaches or stomach aches and I am starting a new career that I know I wouldn't have been able to do without Total Fitness. My boyfriend has joined Total Titness too and we are working on a healthier lifestyle together."

"Thank you!"

Best of Luck To Patty Bonafede!

Patty Bonafede is leaving Total Fitness to purchase a fitness franchise. Details are not yet final, so Patty has asked us to keep the name of the franchise confidential. We wish Patty the very best in her continued work in Atascadero, California.
