baseball or any other physical sport, Brian never shied away
from the challenge. Brian is passionate about serving as a
mentor and teacher to people who can benefit from an extra
push in physical fitness.
Brian's
fitness philosophy: Don't over-train yourself and adapt
your fitness regimen to your lifestyle. There’s no
reason to give up drinking or doing things you enjoy as
long as you are willing to do the work inside the gym.
EXPERTISE: Dynamic Workouts, Free Weight
Training, Kick Boxing, Resistance Training, Nutrition
MOTIVATION: I love to give people what
they can't obtain on their own and show them that they can
do it!
EDUCATION: N.A.S.M, ACE and Apex Certified
HIS WORDS:" I train people
from the ages of 13 to 90 so there is no one too young or
too old to begin working towards the body and healthy life
they want! If you don't take care of your body where do
you plan on living for the rest of your life?"

 James
Karin:
Health, Fitness, and Self Empowerment are top priority
to James. Struggling with weight for many years as a young
man, James found out how important a balanced diet and a strong
exercise regime is to becoming a healthy adult. After losing
a large amount of weight in early adulthood, he ended up becoming
a professional model. This experience inspired him to help
others accomplish their weight loss goals.
James also has a passion for the martial arts, having over
15 years experience in over 12 styles. He also worked in security
and as a personal bodyguard for over 10 years and knows that
true self defense comes from a variety of styles and ideas.
He started teaching bootcamp courses, fitness classes, personal
training sessions, and self defense seminars over 5 years
ago.
In Los Angeles , he instructed on a team where members of
the LAPD, FBI (Southern California Division), Orange County
Sheriff's Department, FAA Safety Inspectors and crew, and
security personnel for major studios were trained. In North
Carolina , he was also a part of training arrest and control
techniques and combat tactics to the US Army Special Forces. |

Francis
Hey guys, I began training “unofficially” at
the age of fifteen back home in New Jersey. My father was
a sports-fanatic, so he bought my brothers and I a weight-set
when I was only ten years old. I loved lifting weights and
drinking protein shakes, but still didn’t know what
the heck I was doing. Then during my first few teenage years,
I battled some health issues, and after seeing many doctors
with no success, I finally found the answer when I went
to a nutritionist who completely changed my eating. That’s
when I was prompted to educate myself about the many eating
disorders and food allergies that plague our society.
After seeing my commitment to fitness while participating
in high school sports, my friends began coming to me for
advice on how to gain muscle and strength for football,
or lose weight safely for wrestling.
When I moved to L.A. 6 years ago at the age of 18, I decided
to actually make it my job to do what I’d been doing
for years already, anyway. I was a personal trainer at Bally’s
for one year. Then I left that corporate setting to begin
training privately. I am currently certified in personal
training and sports nutrition. Although I love the work-outs
and developing training plans for my clients, my real passion
is the nutrition-coaching side of fitness, which includes
helping people discover any nutrition deficiencies and then
recover from them through proper meal plans and supplementation.
After a couple years of trying out a few privately-owned
gyms, I found Bodyimage, and can honestly say Patty and
Steve’s facility is the best I’ve ever used.
So next time you’re in North Hollywood’s premier
fitness center, come say hello.

Hughes winner of Mr. L.A.
2003. I have been in the fitness industry for over fifteen
years. I started competing in bodybuilding with a great
deal of success. In 1989 I won my first show, the Western
Oregon Light-Heavy Weight Championships. This was the start
of many victories that layed ahead for me until today. (visit
my website www.gethughes.com). I have been competing on
the national and international level for the last decade.
I have traveled all over the world including Spain, Japan,
Mexico, Canada, and trained with some of the best athletes
out there. I have trained many clients for competions, however
most of my clients are not bodybuilders but people just
looking to get in better shape, tone up, and loose weight.
I have developed a unique style of training which provides
my clients with a very safe and effective way of getting
the results and maintaining their results.
One of my primary concerns when training new clients is
making sure that they learn absolute "perfect form",
when teaching them new exercises. This is a vital key in
how quickly an individual can achieve the best results.
I pay very close attention to detail and proper form to
insure my clients get "total isolation" of each
muscle they are training, and to get the maximum benefits
out of each exercise.
I am currently certified through Professional Private
Trainers Association ( P.T.A.) and I am also a licensed
P.T.A. examiner which allows me to certify other qualified
trainers. P.T.A. is one of the most prestigeous, well known,
and profound corporation in the fitness industry today.
The company is very selective of whom they will certify
and all of their trainers must be real professionals.
My mission in life is to help people and I take pride in
each and every client that I train. If we choose to work
with each other, I guarantee you with the best results,
the maximum benefits, in the least minimum time frame possible.
"In life we can choose to dream or live the dream!"
Live the dream and get in the best shape of your life!
Respecfully yours,
David Hughes
Mr. L.A. 2003

Joseph Carletta My
name is Joe Carletta and I’ve been a Certified Fitness
Trainer for nearly a decade. I’ve been helping people
of all ages and fitness levels to establish firm exercise
principles and develop healthy nutritional habits, so that
they can improve their lives and become more vibrant, confident
and happy individuals.
I started working out in my early twenties,
almost purely for my ego. I wandered into a gym with a specific
goal in mind – a washboard midsection! Motivated solely
by my “self”, I trained hard, every day and
quickly started to see my physical body change, even in
the beginning when I didn’t really know what I was
doing. The metamorphosis empowered me, since I was the one
bringing it about!
After a few months of exercising without
the proper knowledge, I decided to buy every book, magazine
and video I could get my hands on with information on exercise
technique. The results were staggering! I had truly altered
my body in a way that I could see and feel. Friends and
family immediately started to notice and began to ask me
for tips!
I trained for several years always improving
on my technique. I noticed that, despite my tenacity, something
was missing. I’d hit a plateau. Though my body was
certainly different, it seemed as if no new change had come
about in a long while. I began to seek the advice of others
whom I could see were more advanced than I. After meeting
with a personal trainer for a short time, it became evident
that the one area which needed attention was my nutritional
program.
Although I trained hard and certainly
knew my way around the gym, my eating habits were inconsistent
and mostly unhealthy. Once I became aware of the poor meal
choices I was making, I immediately started to adapt a much
more sensible diet into my exercise program and within a
short time, drastic change ensued. I became leaner, stronger
and noticeably more muscular. I had truly become the master
of my own body; and that created a renewed sense of confidence
in my ability to be able to make change come about in all
areas of my life.
My success with my “self”
led me to want to share my knowledge with others who I knew
were in the same boat I was in years earlier. In 1997, I
decided to earn my Trainer Certification through the International
Sports Sciences Association (ISSA). Shortly thereafter,
I began my mission of passing on what I’d learned
to benefit others.
Always striving for the next level, I
decided to take my own body to new heights and I began entering
bodybuilding competitions, winning first place in two consecutive
shows in 2001; the NPC San Diego Classic and the NPC Southern
California, and placing in the top five in every show I’ve
entered from 2001 to 2004.
Bodybuilding has helped me in ways that
I never thought of. The confidence gained by taking control
of one’s physical self permeates into the mind and
gives one the strength and courage to meet life head on,
no matter what it dishes out. Exercise has been my gateway
to self control, self awareness and self motivation. I believe
those three traits, coupled with a definite spiritual direction;
(one which benefits mankind) can be revolutionary in the
development of the human psyche.
I bring all of my years of experience
and knowledge, coupled with a strong desire to help others
overcome their self doubts and shortcomings into my one
on one personal training style. I believe if I could help
one person change his or her life for the better, it will
have a ripple effect on society as a whole.
A quote that I believe to be the basis
of my philosophy is one from a man who, though frail in
stature, is boundless in strength and compassion, Mahatma
Gandhi:
“You must be the change you
wish to see in the world” |

part of life, just as any career. Life today is much different

and our schedules are busting at the seams! Before you know
it, we have lost what we set out to do in the first place:
Live a happy and healthy life.
Catherine’s philosophy of health consists of a triangle.
The points of this triangle are the emotional plane, the mental
plane, and the physical plane. It takes all three working
correctly to achieve an ultimate healthy well-being. Catherine
will help you to connect with all three planes to start you
on your fitness path.
Catherine is a certified fitness professional and has
been in the industry for twelve years. She is AFFA certified
in personal training and aerobics and teaches classes at
Warner Bros. film studios. She is also a graduate from the
Foothill Fire Academy and is a certified EMT (Emergency
Medical Technician) from Los Angeles County.

will connect you to your “own” triangle, and
lead you to a healthier way of life. Whether you have worked
out before or have never stepped foot in the gym, let Catherine

Park Knowledge is king.
 Throughout
the years of training I’ve gained a lot of insight
by watching and interacting with people. One thing I noticed
was that everyone is different. Each individual I’ve
trained had a different goal, a different purpose, and a
different state of mind. While observing these differences
I realized that there really isn’t a “cookie
cutter” approach to any fitness regimen. Keeping this
in mind I found myself doing endless amounts of research
to personalize my regimens and help individuals meet their
goals.
It’s a relationship,
Finding a trainer is more like finding a friend. Who are
you compatible with? Who brings the best out of you? Who
can motivate you to become better? It’s a long-term
relationship that both parties should benefit from. I personally
get a kick out of watching people change and grow. And while
an individual goes through these transitions you can see
the “ripple effect” in other aspects of their
lives. The people around them take notice, and all of the
sudden there’s a more positive synergy that surrounds
them.
Background
I have over 12 years of experience in the fitness industry
and 9 years as a Certified Personal Trainer. I’m a
National Council for Certified Personal Trainers (NCCPT)
certified Personal Trainer and certified Swedish Massage
Therapist. In the Los Angeles Area, I’ve worked at
24 Hour Fitness as a Trainer Fit Pro, I was a Fitness Director
for LA Fitness, and currently own Push U Fitness, Inc. I
am also co-owner of TrainersBible.com, which is an online
resource for personal trainers.

Keith Kettering
I am certified by the International Sports Sciences Association
as a Certified Personal Trainer. In order to receive this
certification, I studied for and was thoroughly tested on
my understanding and ability to apply many principles related
to kinesiology, physiology, anatomy, biomechanics, nutrition,
proper exercise technique and basic sports medicine theory.
This certification is the most prestigious in the industry
and it qualifies me to work with virtually any individual
desiring to improve their fitness. TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
I believe fitness is a state of well-being consisting of optimal
levels of strength, flexibility, weight control, cardiovascular
capacity and positive physical and mental health behaviors,
that prepare a person to participate fully in life, to be
free from controllable health risk factors and to achieve
physical objectives consistent with his or her potential.
In other words fitness is important in every individuals life
and every person is unique in that pursuit.
At the core of fitness are four key components; strength training
for increased muscle mass and in turn a faster metabolism,
cardiovascular exercise for a stronger heart and increased
blood circulation to reduce subcutaneous fat stores, proper
rest for recuperation, and finally a nutrition methodology
that does not deprive, but slowly begins to modify eating
to be viewed as your body’s fuel.
I truly believe that an individualized training program consisting
of many different and varied exercises is necessary for increased
challenge, variety in training and inevitably a committal
to the fitness lifestyle. In the final analysis your fitness,
both mind and body, impacts every aspect of your life. Call
now and allow me to assist you in attaining your fitness goals. |

I have more than twenty years experience in the fitness
industry. My first introduction into the world of bodybuilding
in 1971 was by Wayne Anderson (Mr. Hawaii) ever since I
have been sold on the idea that fitness is a way of life.
My Philosophy on training is the motivation of each individual
to improve their self-esteem and empower them both physically
and spiritually through personal achievements. My patience
and friendly nature make working out a fun way to reach
your goal.
