I, Natalia Ramirez Fernandez have been a personal trainer and ballet teacher in the greater Bay Area since 2017. Born in Bayamón, I began my dance journey at Next Dance studios and quickly advanced in my training. By the age of 14, I was performing notable roles such as a soldier and Russian dancer in the Nutcracker with the Balleteatro Nacional de Puerto Rico and assisting teaching ballet classes for youth. I was awarded a scholarship and continued my dance education at the BNPR Conservatory School, eventually joining the company as Corps of Ballet and performing in classic ballets like Giselle, La Bayadere, Sylvia. My experience includes learning from renowned instructors such as Joaquin Benegas and Silvia Marichal. I also had the opportunity in the Bay Area to develop the ballet program for the Mission YMCA 2016-2020.

I, Natalia acquired my NASM personal training Certification in 2016. I began my journey as a personal trainer in 2017 at Equinox, Market street. During my time in Equinox as a trainer I was able to develop experience and knowledge within strength training and nutrition coaching. Providing Member Services such as fitness evaluations, orientations, assisting members with proper equipment usage and creating tailored programs to help them achieve their specific fitness/wellness goals.

In addition to Equinox Continuing Education program system (EFTI) I have invested in many other CEUS and continued education programs to be able to further develop my knowledge, expertise and better serve my roster of clientele.

These experiences are what shaped me into being able to start NRFitness after becoming unemployed during 2020 due to Covid-19. Ever since I have continued to impact the dance and fitness community by personal training individuals from all walks of life, and teaching adults and younger generations in the Ballet community.
