Greg believes that his greatest strength as a trainer is his ability to get clients to reach outside of their comfort zone to try new things. "It is important to consistently give yourself new and exciting challenges. I try to keep a constant sense of adventure in my own life, and hopefully I can inspire others to do the same."
Greg has also spent time as a field naturalist, guiding elementary school classes on outdoor field trips. "There are so many benefits to getting involved in outdoor activities - from increases in personal health to a greater awareness of nature and a healthier environment."
Currently Greg is training for Olympic distance triathlons and hoping to be a competitive age grouper. Eventually, he hopes to compete in Ironman triathlons and qualify for Kona.
Greg is certified as a personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and holds a First Aid / CPR / AED certification through the Red Cross. He currently resides in Lake Forest, CA and enjoys running, cycling, rock climbing, and basically anything outdoors.

Triana currently works in a movement analysis laboratory, where she focuses on balance in those with Parkinson's disease and vestibular disorders.
Triana believes in exercise as preventative medicine. "It's hard work, but the payoff is so rewarding," she says. "I believe fitness should be a fun part of your daily life." Her greatest strength as a trainer is her ability "to listen and really hear," then work with the client "to put together a plan that is workable and realistic."
With her experience Triana has successfully coached many remote clients to achieve their own personal health and fitness goals.
Her biggest personal fitness challenge was becoming a runner. "I always exercised, but I had stayed status quo with fast walking for several years," she says. "When my sister challenged me a few years ago to run a 10K race with her, I thought, 'I can't run that far!!' When my Rough-Fit Remote Coach laid out my training plan, I said to myself, 'I will never be able to run that far without stopping.' It wasn't easy at first, and several times I wanted to quit. But I followed the plan, and, slowly but surely, I added to my runs and now am ADDICTED to running. Now I do all the local races and am working o speed training. I even surprised myself when I successfully placed in the top 20 percent of my age group in a recent race."
Triana holds a CPR certification. She lives in Portland, Oregon, where she parents two "wild and crazy" cairn terriers, Ruby and Lola. When not playing with her dogs she enjoys running, swimming, hiking and other outdoor activities.
