Coach Aina

I enjoyed cycling classes with Aina every Friday afternoon at Seattle Executive Fitness and she was fantastic. She is upbeat, encouraging, and incredibly motivational – my classes with her were always the most intense workouts of my week and were an excellent hard-​core lead-​in to the weekend. While she is tough («no excuses»), she provided the coaching I needed to push myself 100% to end up a satisfyingly sore, sweaty, happy mess by the end of the hour. She was my favorite instructor and I miss her terribly since she left SEF to teach for FlyWheel.

I love getting stronger, healthier and more fit with Coach Aina! We initially connected because of my goal of preparing to run a Spartan Sprint Race, which to those who don’t know it is a 5 mile adventure race with over 20 serious obstacles and lots of mud. The thought of running one just freaked me out because I mostly sit on my butt while working and I enjoy of the culinary delights around Seattle.
What I got out of working with Aina was not only a more fit bod, greater stamina and a confidence that helped me not only finish the Spartan Race but also to get back into adult gymnastics. One thing you’ll notice immediately is her endless energy, stellar attitude and gentle accountability.
By the way, I have a recurring lower back issue and her workouts were always sensitive to it so I could still work out and go on about my life without issue. Loved that! Make sure to ask about her nutritional education and coaching too… I recommend her to everyone I know who want to get fit and in shape, she’s so awesome!
