Coach/ Founder Latrina Woods

Experience: 12 years

Expertise:

Board Certified Health Coach NBHWC expertise in behavior modification and lifestyle coaching
Body composition expert for women over 35
Exercise therapy and rehabilitation for chronic joint pain (knees and back)

My Mission/Passion:

What started out as an outdoor workout for me and my family to stay sane during the pandemic turned into a community movement that allowed people to exercise and bond over these uncertain times. At the same time I was witnessing a large portion of the New Orleans community disproportionately dieing of COVID due to high rates of obesity and underyling health conditions. This realization ignited my determination to evolve our community workouts into a business, with a mission to make a deeper impact. To bring this vision to life, I signed up for a local business mentorship program which had a huge impact on the launch of Vivify. Working out in a shared space layed the foundation for my now premier fitness and nutrition program for women. Beyond 2022, my business experienced remarkable growth, filling a gaping void in the fitness industry. It resonated with many women who felt uninspired and alienated by traditional gym environments. I’m inspired everyday because of the community that I’ve built. We serve women from ages 30 - 75 who feel seen, safe and empowered to seize control of their health journey.

Mission/Passion:

As a former college athlete, my journey into the world of fitness and nutrition was not just born out of personal interest, but it developed into a deep-seated passion. This passion was further fueled by the rewarding experience of training my mother and her friends early in my career. Witnessing their transformation, both physically and mentally, I knew without a doubt that I had found my true calling.
