I’m Angelica. I’ve been in personal training for 15 years. For 12 of them I ran my own private coaching in Miami, Florida. I’m over 40 and a mum too, so I know how fast your own time disappears. I help women lose fat and tone up, from belly and arms to hips and glutes. I train you at home or in your building gym, in English or Spanish.

Angelica knows a busy week from the inside. She is over 40, she is a mum, and she has been in personal training for 15 years. She knows how fast your own time disappears, because hers does too.
In 2014 she started her own private coaching business in Miami, Florida. For 12 years she trained executives, mothers and whole families in their own homes. Her clients were in Key Biscayne, Coral Gables, Weston and Davie, and they came to her by referral.
She built every plan around the client’s equipment, schedule and travel, and she checked progress every month. She works the same way in Dubai.
She also competed in NPC bikini from 2013 to 2015. She finished on the podium 14 times and won 8 first places. Two of her overall titles came in the over 30 classes. Age did not stop her, and it does not have to stop you.
After baby, she starts where your body is today. Your doctor’s or midwife’s go ahead comes first. Then she builds your strength back step by step, around feeds, naps and broken sleep.
No exercise burns fat from one spot. Toning means less fat and more muscle, so Angelica works on both.
Crunches alone will not flatten it. Your belly shrinks as your body fat comes down, and core work makes it firmer.
Side bends will not melt them. Steady fat loss does, while strength work shapes your waist.
Hip dips are partly the shape of your hip bones, so no workout removes them. Saddlebags shrink with fat loss. Stronger glutes and side hips change the shape of both.
Toned arms need less fat and more muscle. Angelica builds your shoulders and arms while your body fat comes down.
Glutes grow with steady, heavier strength work, like hip thrusts, squats and lunges. Bikini judges score shape, and Angelica won 8 first places.
After a baby, your doctor or midwife checks you first. Then Angelica rebuilds your core and strength step by step.
Cardio helps you lose fat. Only strength training builds muscle, and muscle does not stay on its own.
Harvard Health says that after age 30 you begin to lose as much as 3% to 5% of your muscle per decade. The CDC says adults need at least 2 days of muscle strengthening activity each week.
So Angelica builds every plan on strength. Two or three sessions a week at home can fit even a full week with kids.

Sessions fit around school runs, work and bedtime. Not the other way around.
Your body changes after 40. Your training should change with it, with strength first.
A gentle return with your doctor’s go ahead, at a pace your body can take.
Steady weight loss while you still eat enough to keep up with your family.
No crash diets and no punishing plans. Small changes you can keep for good.
Prefer Spanish? Angelica coaches in Spanish and English.
Every birth and every recovery is different. Angelica asks what your doctor or midwife has cleared you for, and she trains you around it. If something needs a check first, she will tell you before you start. She never rushes you.
Tell Angelica your goal, your week and what you have tried before. No hard sell.
She comes to your home or building gym. The plan fits your kit, your schedule and your family.
Once a month you look at your progress together, and the plan moves with you.
Yes, but not with crunches alone. No exercise burns fat from one spot. Your belly gets smaller as your overall body fat comes down. Angelica pairs strength training with a way of eating you can stick to.
Not completely. Hip dips come partly from the shape of your hip bones, and no exercise changes bone. Building your glutes and side hips can fill the area out and change how your hips look.
Toned arms come from less fat and more muscle. Angelica trains your shoulders, biceps and triceps with weights while your overall body fat comes down. Arm exercises alone will not remove arm fat.
No. Women build muscle slowly, so lifting makes you look firmer and leaner, not bulky. That is why Angelica builds your plan on strength, not just cardio.
It means losing fat and building muscle at the same time. The scale may move slowly while your clothes fit better and your shape changes. Strength and body recomposition is one of Angelica’s core skills.
Yes, once your doctor or midwife gives you the go ahead. Angelica asks what you have been cleared for and builds your plan around it. Still pregnant? Our pre and post natal personal trainers can help.
Yes. Angelica starts with the basics in your first session and builds from there. Your plan matches what your body can do today, not what it did at 25.
No. Angelica trains you at home or in your building gym, and she builds the plan around the kit you have.
Yes. Angelica gives nutrition guidance alongside your training. Our 12 session package includes a nutrition plan.
Yes. Spanish is her first language, and she coaches in English too.
NPC is the National Physique Committee, a major amateur physique sports body in the United States. Bikini is one of its women’s classes, and judges score balance and shape. Angelica competed from 2013 to 2015 and won 8 first places.
Tell Angelica your goal and what your week really looks like. She will tell you honestly if she is the right coach for you. No pressure and no pushy follow ups.
