I have been a personal fitness trainer for four years and have been studying the lifestyle impact of a raw food diet, almost as long. I have been a practicing Raw Food Chef for over a year.

Originally you are from the Bay Area and currently living in Los Angeles; do you have clients in both cities? And if so, how do your work your schedule?

I try to go home to SF at least once every three months to visit my friends and family. When I go home, yes, I still train clients that I had prior to moving to Los Angeles. I have also been flown home by clients to train them for countdowns for a wedding, reunion or even just a quarterly cleanse.

Where do you work out with clients when you are in Los Angeles? San Francisco?

In Los Angeles I work at a gym name “Train” located on La Cienega and Melrose. I also train many clients at their homes as well as do group runs and boot camps. In SF I train my clients in their home or at Dolores Park or Buena Vista.

Currently, do you have more clients for fitness or for your education and experience with Raw Food?

All of my clients that I train in physical activity practice raw either completely, 50% or even 5%. I have a few other clients that are just interested in Raw.

What do you feel you bring to the table that is unique and different, within your workouts and training, from the rest?

I build a relationship with all of my clients and try to create a workout for each individual based on their own personality and physical ability. I build an environment for them to feel comfortable in order for them to step out of their comfort zone. I share activities that are fun and exciting. I teach back from the roots. Most activities and exercises you will remember from elementary school. All exercises can be done both in and out of the gym. Some sessions are done in the neighborhood; others are performed in the park while some are completed in the gym. The thing I try to do best is make each session personal and fun for every individual.

Rumor has it you are working on a book. True or false? Tell us where you’re at with the book?

Yes I have a book in my near future. I am in the beginning phases of the project.

For the last couple of years, you have done a boot camp at Mariah Hanson’s Club Skirts Presents The Dinah, held in Palm Springs every year. Being that you are leaving for this event shortly, tell us a little more about what you do there for Dinah Shore Weekend so the girls know for next year.

I have been the lead event manager for The Dinah for years, though in the last couple I have appeared there as talent. I’m back in this year, doing both! I am in the fashion show, but I am also here running the event again and will be taking an increasingly visible role in years to come.

What other new surprises can we expect from you in 2010?

I am launching “PureRawLove,” which is a prepackaged raw food delivery service. We actually launch April 12th. I am so excited! My partner and I do catering and classes teaching people hands-on how to prepare raw food. We are delivery to small and big local businesses, salons, and gyms as well as homes. CBS is our major client. We will also have a demonstration and sample booth April 24th in Palm Springs at Earth Day.

Female Fyi has 10 random questions for you to let our readers get to know you a
little bit better.

Avocados for sure.

One fitness tip that you’ll always keep preaching?

Consistency. I would rather you workout 20 minutes a day all week then one great hour workout twice a week.

Favorite sport?

Softball.

Favorite restaurant in Los Angeles? San Francisco?

In LA, Cru in Silverlake. In SF, I want to say Café Gratitude because it is raw, but I will have to go with Moki’s Sushi in Bernal Heights.

The 12-digit number I got at the bar last night.

Love Actually.

I am actually in Palm Springs now. I have been here since Saturday preparing for the Clubskirts Dinah.

Girlfriend?

Ha, I have learned the hard way not to expose my personal life.

Name one non-profit organization that you support and/or work with and why?

I am honestly just starting to get involved in the non-profit organizations. I would love to support and be a part of those such as PFLAG or organizations benefiting LGBT Youth.

Also joining the Dinah’sty is actress Sarah Shahi famously known for her portrayal of sexy Latina DJ Carmen on Showtime’s hit drama series The L Word. The breathtakingly beautiful and sultry former Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, Shahi, will make a special appearance at the Palm Springs Convention Center during the Dinah’s White Diamonds Party. Another Dinah ONLY exclusive premiere offering fans a chance to meet the iconic L Word sex symbol.

The list of celebrities performing and appearing at this year’s The Dinah is indeed stacked with A-List names as big as any annual entertainment award shows and Hollywood premieres!

This year’s colossal Dinah Bill once again delivers the “It Girl” of the moment KE$HA, whose international smash hit “Tik Tok” just scored a milestone in the charts becoming the longest running number one debut single by a female artist dethroning Debby Boone’s 1977 “You Light Up My Life.” The Dinah is also making history with the reunion of double-platinum groundbreaking female rap duo Salt-N-Pepa appearing with DJ Spinderella for the first time since 2000. And last, but not least, “Family Ties” TV star,Meredith Baxter will make her first-ever public appearance, since publicly coming out on The Today Show, on the catwalk of the Equality California Fashion show.

More than an event, The Dinah has become a trendsetting entertainment phenomenon distinctively spearheading the careers of music heavyweights (Dinah Alumni) Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, The Pussy Cat Dolls, Colbie Caillat and India Arie – who have all single-handedly skyrocketed to the top of the Billboard charts post-Dinah performance.

Socially and culturally speaking, The Dinah also remains at the forefront of popular cinematic trends in the world of television. Showtime which has green-lit nine episodes of the much talked about reality series, “The Real L Word: Los Angeles,” from “L Word” creator Ilene Chaiken and reality producers Magical Elves (”Top Chef”) will be filming at The Dinah.

Rosie O’Donnell has canceled her show at The Dinah to remain in Miami with her children over Spring break. We are very disappointed in this decision, and know her Dinah fans will be as well. All Rosie tickets may be transferred to The Kathy and Mo Show. We are also holding an exclusive private meet and greet with The L Word’s favorite character, Sarah Shahi, in which she will autograph complimentary L Word hats and pose for photos with all previous Rosie O’Donnell ticket holders prior to her meet and greet with the general Dinah attendees.

For Rosie O’Donnell refunds, please contact info@thedinah.com
Refund requests must be received by March 31st and will be processed after the event, in mid April.
