Yesenia Rivera

I was born in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico on April 22nd 1977. I moved to the United States, when I was 10 years old. As a child  I loved to dance and exercise. In junior high school participated in Talent Shows. In high school loved to play volleyball, soccer, and track.  I never did join any teams but did participate in any sport event and activity. As an young adult, I joined a fitness club and that's when I truly discovered my passion for fitness. I'm a very reserved individual, but during my classes, I feel full of energy, and in need to transmit that feeling to my class participants. I love to motivate them. I have to make sure that they know that no matter how hard and difficult it might seem to perform a certain exercise, they can do it.
