How would you define yourself?

I would define myself as a patient girl, tolerant with people and with many concerns with a view to the future.

How did you get into the FAST family?

I came through contact with people, because I worked in a gym and from meeting the clients I found the FAST center in Elda.

What do you like the most about being part of the FAST coaches?

What I like most about belonging to the coaches is that on the two occasions that I have had to get together with the other teammates, there is a climate of trust and camaraderie, since even though we do not know each other personally, after all, We are all dedicated to the same thing and we have a lot in common and I have no doubt that if I ever needed to clarify anything, I could ask any coach in another city.

Do you do anything else besides FAST?

Apart from working at FAST, I am also studying a master’s degree and preparing for the physical education teaching exams.

In the sports field, I swim 4 days a week, I try to go out with the bike at least two days, if I can not go into some kind of spinning, and also the specific work of complementary strength for my sport I do it at the FAST center

I name the area of ​​rehabilitation because it seems that it is the least known in our center, and that 90% of the people who come to us are for fitness-beauty reasons, which is the most typical. But the rehabilitation work of people with some discomfort, injury, pathology … is a great challenge for us.

What do you like the most about EMS?

What I like the most about electro is that knowing how to guide the work and the technique of the exercises, combined with the progressive intensity of the stimulus, it is possible to develop in a very effective way the muscles, the physical condition, the state of health …
