Armando Alarcon
Owner
Armando is a certified fitness trainer with years of experience. But what makes him truly stand out is his “care factor” and his ability to connect with people. He has traveled over 50 countries in almost every continent of the world. At each destination, he has explored diverse disciplines of training to complement his own practice.
Whether it be a family juggling hectic events, demanding work deadlines, or preparing for a role as a superhero, he is committed to bringing out the very best in each person he trains.
He is committed to bringing out the very best in everyone, designing exercises specific for each person’s body and goals. As an example, for women he might focus on things like gaining long and lean muscles that create beautiful lines while avoiding bulk. These types of movements elongate and engage the entire body…not just specific areas. Some of his most notable work was on Katy Perry’s Prismatic World Tour, which was also one of the most physically demanding shows a performer could execute. Armando’s specific training exercises became instrumental in catapulting Katy into her most optimum physical form. The training allowed her to have the stamina and explosive energy needed to complete 151 shows in 52 countries.
