ABOUT ME
FIRST and foremost, thank you for stopping by!
A little about me, my name is Angela Santoro and I was born and raised in a small town next to San Jose, CA where I currently reside. It is hard to say that this is “home” because I am constantly traveling the world, BUT this will always be home no matter where I go!
I have been an athlete most of my life and started playing team sports when I was just three years old and continued on in college to play sports for four years as a Division 1 athlete. While I was incredibly active working out 6 days a week for 4 years - I didn’t know much about the importance of intentional work outs and nutrition.
In 2014, while pursuing a career in sports broadcasting in Maryland, I completely lost myself and lost sight of going to the gym and I can honestly say I was absolutely miserable. I was eating horribly, wasn’t exercising at all, and just was not taking care of my body eating anything and everything I could. To put things in perspective - I had a free gym membership and didn’t even go for MONTHS!! I was dealing with some massive life changes on top of moving across the country and it was my brother than gave me the push I needed to get myself going again. I got my butt in the gym, but when I walked in, I felt SOOO overwhelmed and honestly intimidated! I needed a plan of action as this was really the first commercial gym I had been to outside of the training facility from my college soccer days with mostly free weights, but most importantly, a coach.
It hit me that if I felt intimidated walking into a gym, a four-year D1 athlete, how many people may feel the same as I did when I first walked in - overwhelmed, not sure what machine does what, how should I begin my work out - to being in there an hour only to end up on an elliptical and doing a simple cardio work out. But… that was it, I went home from the gym that day only to create my first work out program EVER training twenty women!
Fast forward from 2014 to now, so much growth has taken place in what feels like such a short period of time - from starting my own programs, to helping hundreds of women and men, and doing a bikini competition myself in 2017 to where I am now sharing with you all more advanced gym and at-home work out options that are affordable and doable even with a busy schedule!
I hope you all love this program as much as I loved making it and please know, you are NEVER alone on this journey and I promise to be your helping hand any time you need! We are a community of badasses looking to BOSS UP and get it done! NO EXCUSES!! So what do you say, are you ready?!
