Emily Duval Ledger, C.P.T.
Owner, Lead Instructor. Emily is an independently Certified Personal Trainer through the American Council on Exercise (ACE).

Tamara Kunkle, C.P.T.
Instructor. Tamara is a Certified
Personal Trainer through the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Through her
own struggles with weight management and self-image, she realized that many
others share similar personal challenges. Tamara understands that a healthy
mind comes from an active body and the healthy fuel that feeds it. She is inspired by people who make the decision to change their lives and gain control, and loves to help them
succeed, which is what led her to pursue a career in fitness. She enjoys
conquering new physical challenges such as sprint triathlons and summating Mt.
Whitney, and loves being a part of the South Bay Fit Camp
instruction team, especially since she once was a class participant.

Wendy Hormann, C.P.T.
Instructor. Wendy is a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), a Level 1 instructor for CrossFit, an AYSO Coach for ages 5-12 and is now a kinesiology major at CSU Fullerton. She grew up playing soccer and enjoyed the competition (and trying to keep up with the neighborhood boys), and to this day loves a challenge, setting and accomplishing goals. For years she sat in front of a computer all day, and couldn't wait to get out of the office to do the things she really loves - running, snowboarding, fishing, CrossFit/ weightlifting, soccer, swimming, bike riding, hiking, tubing, etc. - and is thrilled to finally have a job where she can inspire others to do the things that give them joy in order to achieve their goals. Her own fitness has been anything but effortless, and she loves watching her clients exceed their expectations of themselves.

Cheyana Van Dender, C.P.T., C.N.C.
Nutritionalist, Instructor. Cheyana is a graduate of The Global
College of Natural Medicine (GCNM) and a Certified Personal Trainer
through the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Cheyana knew that she
wanted to work in the health and wellness field when in college she
designed an after-school program called "Beauty From The Inside Out,"
which taught the beauty benefits of healthy eating and exercise to
troubled teens in group homes. Once she saw these teenagers change their
perceptions about health and wellness, she realized that anyone could
if they truly wanted to. After her daughter was born, she decided to
follow her dreams and became a nutritionalist and personal trainer.
Cheyana currently lives and works in Sarasota, FL, but is available to West Coast clients via skype or in person peridoically throughout the year.
