Faith brought Desi to my life. I met Desi at a Venice farmer’s market on a sunny Friday morning. I was there with two other “mommy” friends discussing how difficult it was to lose weight after having kids. We were complaining about how hard it was to balance having kids and exercise. And here comes Desi with her young son looking buff and beautiful in the middle of our discussion.

We eventually asked her how she got her body back after having her son. She said it is her job. She said we can do it even with the kids. And through the kindness of her heart, she offered to help us workout, and to show us that we can really do it. Desi is amazing! She gave me the motivation to start exercising and eating well. Desi has instilled in me to take great care of my body by exercising, eating well, and not give up.

Desi’s workout routine for me and the other moms in my class incorporates cardio., strength, and flexibility training as well as eating healthy. This combination has definitely worked for me. My body has been changing for the better. I have been losing the “tire” around my waist and the “pouch” on my stomach. My stamina has gotten better and my body overall is stronger. Desi’s experience as a mom helps a great deal in understanding what our bodies go through during pregnancy and post pregnancy.

I find Desi warm, understanding, and very helpful especially in finding solutions to problems when you get stuck in your workout goal. I am lucky to have her as a friend and to have had the opportunity to workout with her. As a trainer, she gets the job done! I highly recommend her and her workout philosophy, especially if you want to get rid of the weight you gained during pregnancy.
