Newman was conceived in Jamaica by both her parents Edward and Lydia Newman, but 5 months after being conceived, her parents moved to the United States and she was born in Houston, TX. She has been in the fitness world for over 19+ years and loves motivating people to reach for their ultimate fitness goals no matter what may get in their way.

Majority of Newman's adult-life she has battled with her weight fluctuating up and down because of painful fibroids and ovarian cysts. Newman takes medication to help shrink and eliminate those issues, but unfortunately the medication causes weight gain, water retention and bloating. Therefore, she uses those issues to help her to stay focused and create fun ways to get and keep her body right. Newman strongly emphasizes to her clients that nothing is given to them, they must train hard for the body they want and to not make excuses. She believes in that theory because of her own personal experiences, such as having a cyst in 1 knee and complications with the other knee. Yet with those issues Newman has completed several 5K's, a 10K, a Half Marathon (13.1 miles) and a Marathon (26.2 miles). She taught a 1 hour Warm-up & Workout at The Color Run in Houston on Aug. 23, 2014 and she was a cast member as a Personal Trainer for the Houston Fit Reality Show.

 

Newman graduated from Houston Baptist University with double majors in Human Kinetics and Mass Media. She is an AFAA Certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor, NASM Nutritional Specialist, Certified POUND Fitness Instructor, Zumba® Fitness, Zumba® Kids, Zumba Sentao™ Instructor, International Motivational Speaker, Model and Choreographer. She has created several signature fitness classes and programs such as Exotic Aerobics, 1000 Calorie Burn, Make It Clap, Operation Super Sexy and the 90 Miles in 90 Days Fitness Challenge which allows people to enjoy working out and living a healthier lifestyle. The key to daily fitness is to step outside of the box and make it FUN! Who says exercise has to be traditional or boring.
