HOT PERSONAL TRAINER, DONNIE'S RECAP OF THE 2ND QUARTER OF 2007






MAY, JUNE, JULY, AND AUGUST OF 2007!

I'm still an East Coast (mentality) Trainer in Hollywood (Where image is Everything!!!)
So here's where I left off; I started training Avi, a former client if Doug Blaisdell (star trainer of BRAVO's "WORKOUT").
(Big ups to you Doug; R.I.P.)
Despite Avi's hectic attorney work schedule and both of our summer traveling, his workout schedule has been consistant for the most part. We are on our 4th workout program with 6 week increments. The program involves extended sets (more hella than super setting). He's cutting right this one and he likes it so I love it. And if you see him on the street, don't test him because prior to the lifting, we are banging out self defense boxing and kickboxing.
Also through May, June and July, I've trained Devan Brockington, a former athelete and native New Yorker. She's done so well with the Krav Maga self defense that she's moved on to strictly practicing martial arts. Way to go Devan!
Other female clients include Glenda Espinosa and Jarmila kotik.
Glenda came to me by way of my first family clients of Beverly Hills whom I've trained at their home gym. She has been working hard with me and doing cardio on her own and it's paid off. She has slimmed down nicely over the summer. I am happy for you and proud of you Glenda.
Jarmila is a native of Chile and falls into the "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" group, however, she is no stranger to hard work. She is one of the few that I've met so far that gives me a run for my money hiking around Hollywood's Runyon Canyon.
She and I have also have hit the beach several times this summer; Venice, Malibu..... I call her Jazz. I love you Jazz!

Took a little time off in July, after celebrating my birthday with my friends here in L.A. I spent time with friends and family on the east coast (New York and Philadelphia). Did 6 flags Great Adventure in Jersey, club Crash in NYC, and my family reunion.
Had a Blast!
The Summer ended with a Yoga retreat on a ranch in San Luis Obisbo, Central California. Headed up by my friend and client MOTHER. He has changed my whole perception of Yoga. Prior to the retreat, I just viewed yoga as a way to get my cardio & flexibility in. But this retreat was spiritual, mind clearing, and away from it all.(One meditation and arm movement lasted for 22 minutes) It was definitely a positive impact on my life. Thanks Mother!

And last but certrainly not least, Adult film star, director, and producer, iconic American beauty Jason Ridge has been M.I.A. from our workout sessions. I've found him building his production company empire; traveling, promoting, doing guest appearances; Howard Stern, etc.... We last left him gettin tip top shape for his movies and appearances. Well he's back with a vengence, in the gym! With 3 movies under his production company umbrella, he ready to focus on himself again. Stay tuned!!!
