Hi, my name is Coach Rodger, co-owner of SWEAT along with Lakiesha, my better half.  I've been a certified personal trainer and group instructor since 2005 (16 yrs). I teach a variety of different style spin, boot camp, and kettlebell classes and conduct individual and small group personal training sessions. 

With my software engineering background, I'm primarily responsible for managing and developing our business systems including integrating our online scheduling system with our website, and various other business software and mobile access applications.

I have a passion for living a very long, healthy life and, I don't take health for granted!  In 2003, I struggled with my weight when I had a sedentary career, weighing as much as 256lbs at 6'1“, I was 28% bodyfat and had a 42” waist.  Today, I manage my weight at 195lbs, at about 15% body fat and a 32“ waist.  I've dramatically changed my health and have made considerable changes to my diet over the years...in fact, I've been a vegan since March 2010!  It was a CHOICE I made after reading a book called ”Skinny B _ _ _ _...if you can't figure it out, stop by and ask me. 

Anyway, my decision was based upon the fact that eating a plant-based versus our western, animal-based diet can extend your life 5-10 years and, reduce and even reverse high-risk diseases such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and even cancer!  I did more research and, once I confirmed these things, it was a no-brainer for me at that point.

I have been a competitive athlete; I've competed in amateur bodybuilding, running events, outdoor cycling, and triathlons.  My goal is to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle and, sustain a high quality of life well beyond the century mark (100+ years of age). 

My role model was a very vibrant, independent 100 years young gentleman named James “Jim” Brown who drove to and fro, (his license was good til age 102), swung a mean golf club, and taught chair exercise classes 4 days a week to other seniors!  I'm nowhere near that but, I really enjoy being an example to others, especially baby boomers to help them to realize that through adopting better nutritional habits and exercising, they too can realize their health, fitness and longevity potential!

Hi! My name is Lakiesha and I'm the proud co-owner of SWEAT!  I have worked in the area's fitness clubs since 2002. I'm a certified personal trainer and a certified CPR/AED Basic Life Support and Basic First Aid instructor.  I also hold certifications in Pilates Reformer, Arthritis Foundation Aquatics, TRX Group Training, and RealRyder Indoor Cycling. I also earned a BA in Business Management from CSU Sacramento.

I'm a former National Level Figure competitor with corporate sponsorships from MET-Rx and Max Muscle supplement companies. As a competitor I honed my skills in nutrition for the purposes of losing body fat and building lean muscle!  I use this knowledge to help our clients achieve the results they desire, whether that be to loss weight, gain muscle, or even prepare for Fitness competitions.  I've trained and managed a 12 member fitness staff, managed the product marketing and merchandising and, have developed fitness programs for a local large regional fitness chain.

Coming soon...We think she's amazing but,we'll let her try to summarize her awesomeness!

Hi, my name is Terri!  I started working at IS with the front desk staff when they opened their latest club on Pershing and March Lane.  I left there and joined my parents here at SWEAT as a co-instructor in mid 2015.  In January 2017, I was given my own Kangoo Jumps® classes and when needed, I sub for my mom and teach her POUND® class!

I enjoy teaching because I love to choreograph dance moves to music and I get a thrill when I see our members learning the moves too!  If you feel you need more hand holding, I'm available for private lessons, just ask!

Hi, I'm AunDerel (aka Derel) and I love fitness!  I've worked 3 years for IS and for the past 2 years I have been a sub-instructor for my parents gym teaching Bootcamp's or co-teaching Kangoo Jumps® with my brother AnTerrio!  

My fitness journey began in 2013 when I decided to put on 30lbs of lean muscle. I've accomplished that goal and, now I want to put on another 20lbs of muscle by the summer of 2018!  

In January 2017, I was promoted to Director, Social Media, taking over those duties from my dad and I love it!  If you see me taking photos and videos in the studio, smile, chances are you'll probably be on one of our social media pages! 

Coming soon from Tracy herself but in the meantime, we can tell you that Tracy is a former client with a passion and talent in teaching boxing and more...
