Monica Lazaro

Fitness had always been, for the most part, an enjoyable hobby throughout Monica's life. It was one way that she stayed goal-focused and also a tool that helped her navigate bouts of depression. About 8 years ago, Monica's focus shifted from personal fitness to a desire to help others in the same way. Monica loved taking classes—especially cycling—so that became her first certification. She was hired as a new instructor at a large local gym, and it’s been a wonderful whirlwind ever since. The opportunity to earn additional certifications including Certified Personal Trainer, Group Exercise, Indoor Cycling, Neuromuscular Stretching, Certified Nutritionist and Women's Fitness Speciality and expand her teaching formats has been exhilarating. Monica has taught various group classes and currently works as a Group Instructor and Coach at Life Time in Peoria, Arizona. There she focuses on small group strength and conditioning classes. Classes with Monica offer an authentic energy and genuine encouragement—which she believes truly resonates with people. She enjoys sharing her experiences and giving shout outs to members via instagram. Follow her on IG @movedxmomo
