Malia Gardella

Growing up active she quickly became frustrated with the lack of information to help women throughout their ever changing fitness needs. After the birth of her children she needed support and guidance in her return to fitness. When she couldn't find the help she needed, she made it her mission to learn all she could, to keep others from the confusion and frustration she experienced. As she has grown as a coach and in her stage of life her desire to learn has never faded. She remains on mission to learn how to coach women well, no matter their stage of life. Whether pre or postnatal or on the rollercoaster of aging gracefully and entering peri menopause and beyond, she wants to help women to navigate their changing fitness needs with strength and confidence.
