Emma Sarmiento

In business as a fitness trainer since 2002, Emma Sarmiento, has helped clients of all ages to enjoy adding a fitness routine to their busy schedules. With clients as young as 12 and some well into their golden years, Emma is a firm believer that it's never too early and never to late to start adding the benefits of exercise into a normal everyday routine. Emma was born in the Philippines and came to San Diego at the age of one. Career endeavors include being a legal secretary, computer programmer, marketing sales support representative, and project manager. With dance in her life since the age of two, she fell into the fitness arena when a friend asked her to attend an instructor workshop in 2002. She is a certified group exercise instructor and personal trainer through AFAA. She is a gold certified Turbo Kick (cardio kickboxing) instructor and she is also a Les Mills instructor teaching Body Pump and Body Flow.  She enjoys mind and body formats and practices and teaches yoga and Pilates.  SilverSneakers is a great addition to her "goodie bag" because she enjoys working with the senior population set.  With dance inspired formats taking the clubs by storm, Emma teaches quite a number of Zumba classes where she incorporates hip hop and polynesian rhythms which leaves her participants feeling hot and sexy.

She enjoys the flexibility of her work schedule which allows her to spend "prime time " hours with family and friends.
