My name is Aimée Ricca, and I’m an ISSA Certified Elite Personal Trainer (ECPT), Nutritionist (CN), and Youth Fitness Coach (CYFC). I'm also a PSA Ranked and Rated Skating Coach/Choreographer.

I became a coach to help others avoid making the mistakes that I made. I've suffered injuries, been exhausted, and frustrated because I didn't have access to the right program to achieve my goals properly. I learned everything the hard way by seeking out instruction, information, and inspiration. I share my experiences so that you don't have to learn how I did subscribe to my channel to find the shortcuts!
