Hi, I’m Jessica, certified through the  National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) in Personal Training and Nutrition. Long story short, I LOVE being an athlete. I currently train and compete in Olympic weightlifting. I believe working out is about celebrating what our bodies can do in conjunction with nutrition which allows our bodies to thrive. I have a background in coaching CrossFit, boot camp, and strength and conditioning in both groups classes as well as 1 on 1 training. I also provide nutrition coaching with all levels of clients. I am excited to be a part of the Fit for Life family and continue to help others reach their own unique fitness and nutrition goals.

Hey Guys! I'm Amber Carrillo. I have small town, south Texas roots being born and raised in Matagorda County.

I coach athletes and teammates, helping them achieve their goals and a healthier lifestyle.

Hello, my name is Carolina Lopez Albaladejo and I was born in Veracruz, Mexico. I am currently a Texas certified Zumba Instructor, with prior Zumba Instructor experience in Mexico. I enjoy dancing as a fun way to exercise and do cardio at the same time. In addition to my Zumba experience, I also have experience with full body training.
