Award-Winning Personal Trainer
in San Francisco.
From Bolivia to an Honored Trainer in San Francisco.
My journey from the warm jungles of Santa Cruz De La Sierra, Bolivia, to becoming a recognized personal trainer in San Francisco, California, is a story of transformation and gratitude. The city of San Francisco, known for its vibrant health-conscious community, has not only welcomed me with open arms but also has played a significant role in my personal and professional growth. I share my journey to connect with each of you, knowing that every path to personal growth is filled with challenges and triumphs.
Becoming a personal trainer was an unforeseen turn in my life, especially after being diagnosed with chronic depression. Like many, I experienced the depths of feeling lost and nearly succumbing to despair. However, it’s in talking about these struggles and surviving depression that I found an unexpected way to connect with my clients deeply. If you’ve ever felt like giving up, found yourself lacking the energy to engage in daily activities, you’re new to training or simply do not know where to begin, I’m the personal trainer dedicated to supporting you through your journey.
My life was transformed by the synergy of fitness, medication, therapy, and family support. These pillars didn’t just save my life; they fueled my belief in the holistic approach to wellness. Personal training, for me, is more than physical workouts—it’s about nurturing both mind and body.

With a passion deeply rooted in understanding mental health challenges, I am pursuing a degree in psychology to incorporate therapeutic elements into my training sessions. My goal is to offer a balanced approach that nurtures both mind and body, promoting overall well-being and longevity.

SUCCESS STORIES AND TRANSFORMATIONS
Jonathan Woytek
For years, chronic back pain shadowed every aspect of my life. Diagnosed with a bulging disk in my 30s, I was advised by my doctor to steer clear of heavy lifting—deadlifts and squatting were off the table. Despite adhering strictly to this guidance, the pain persisted, making everyday activities like walking, sitting, and even standing a challenge. I began to resign myself to the idea that back pain was just something I’d have to deal with for the rest of my life.
Everything changed when I started working with Ginna.
We began with gentle back-strengthening exercises using resistance bands. This cautious approach was crucial, as it respected my body’s limits while gradually enhancing my strength. Over time, we progressed and I slowly built up the confidence and capability to handle more. Today, nearly two years into my journey, I live free of back pain. I can proudly say that I am now able to deadlift over 200 pounds and squat over 325—a feat I once thought impossible. More importantly, this journey has been about more than just lifting weights; it’s been a holistic transformation. I’ve adopted healthier lifestyle choices and embraced a more active way of living. Thank you, Ginna, for helping me turn my pain into strength.

For years, I hesitated to hire a trainer, especially as I approached my 50s with increasing back pain that limited my daily activities. When I finally reached rock bottom, I realized I needed professional help. In my initial fitness assessment, it was clear I couldn’t do much. I could barely manage basic movements without discomfort.
However, Ginna’s persistent encouragement and tailored approach gradually made a difference. Meeting with her weekly, I not only started to feel significant relief in my back but also noticed pleasing physical changes. Progressing from being unable to perform a simple squat to executing Bulgarian lunges without any discomfort has been truly astonishing!
Training to alleviate pain isn’t just a possibility—it’s a reality with consistent work and dedication.

At 80 years old, I’ve discovered that age truly is just a number, especially when it comes to getting stronger and more active. Following my stroke, I harbored doubts about the extent of progress I could achieve. I even thought I was doing fine with just my home stretches. But with GinnaFit’s guidance, I’ve experienced remarkable improvements in my range of motion, strength, and balance. And guess what? The shoulder pain I used to endure? Gone! The need for my cane and those extra pillows for back support have become things of the past.
The teamwork between GinnaFit and me has been instrumental. Together, we’ve confronted challenges, celebrated every triumph, and consistently worked towards a healthier and stronger me. The results speak for themselves. I’m achieving milestones I never thought possible, stepping into a future where I have control over my body – a realization that perhaps becomes more profound at 80.
GinnaFit has been with me every step of the way, sharing in the joy and gratitude of each session. It’s been more than just a physical transformation; it’s been a transformation of my life. So, if you think it’s too late to make a change, think again. With GinnaFit, anything is possible!

Ginna is a fantastic trainer and a wonderful person. I’ve been working out with her a few years now, both in person and on Zoom, and enjoy it very much. She is professional, patient, and attentive. She adapts the exercises to my skills and needs, and most of all, she makes it fun, so an hour go by really fast.

I am a returning client for Ginna. I’ve trained with her a few years back and I must say, she’s the real deal and I’m happy with my results!
She is very knowledgeable and she has a wonderful personality. She knows exactly how and when to push you to get the most out of your body, mind, and soul.
On top of that, she can teach you how to get your nutrition under control by providing a food log that gets checked weekly. (this is the most important part and it really works)
The best part about working with Ginna is that she is passionate about what she does. She has a bubbly personality and she’s hilarious. She keeps me laughing always, and adds a fun element to every workout to keep me motivated.
She deserves a 5 star. Hire her if you want the best body and fun workout you’ve ever had.
