LA Guides – Alyssa Santos
Imagine fitness & health being an effortless part of your day.
Alyssa Santos
Alyssa started at Massage Therapy School about 15 years ago when she was a little lost. Soon after, someone suggested she also become a personal trainer and she thought that person was nuts because she was far too fat. But, for some reason, she applied anyway and got the job. Through learning and training and being inspired by clients, she lost 60lbs and they reached their goals too! So, she gets it. She listens, and she loves tailoring each session and massage and intake to each person. Personally she keeps that weight off by doing a ton of yoga, spin, hiking and weight training… plus chasing her sock stealing puppy around the house.
