Head Personal Trainer

My name is Darien Santillan. As a holistic coach, my main goal is to empower my clients in making truly life-altering behaviour changes that will improve their health and well-being for years to come.

My fitness journey started when I was a little girl; from a young ballerina, to a degree in Nutrition, to a fitness entrepreneur, to a proud personal trainer, striving to inspire by example every day.

Throughout my journey, I’ve learned to develop the discipline to persevere through my own personal struggles, with the realization that most aspects of life are interconnected; one’s fitness goals shall not neglect mental self-care, emotional self-love nor patience with oneself. When we treat our systems with cohesion, we can maintain lifelong personal habits, enabling us to be the best.
