Abay has been with La Camarilla since 2001 and has been a key trainer amongst our fitness staff. Prior to training, he enjoyed a great track career earning and breaking many records for his accomplishments. However, due to a knee injury that ended hia track career, he felt compelled to learn as much as he could about the sport and help others avoid the injuries. His training certification from the Aerobics and Fitness Association along with his nursing career in the Army has enabled him to apply his skills toward his clients.
Abay is full of energy and enthusiasm and his loves his "JOB". He also enjoys spending time with his wife and two teenage kids. His philosophy is “work hard and be proud of what you have accomplished - it will be worth it in the end”.

Jodi draws on her background in outdoor fitness, Pilates and weight training to develop high energy “circuit” style workouts that provide a fun way to increase the “ fat-burn”.
Chris Murphy, Personal Trainer
NASM

Born in London, England, Chris became a US citizen in July 2004 after spending 20+ years in the US. Chris took the opportunity to ‘retire’ earlier than most from corporate life after 35+ years of a fulfilling and challenging career in Accounting and IT. She worked in various locations in the UK and US throughout those years.
Chris decided to ‘rewire’ and embrace a healthier lifestyle after experiencing a health scare, and also, being confined to office life for all those years. After doing some research to determine what to do next, Chris joined the team at La Camarilla in March 2007 with the goal of becoming a Personal Trainer.
Chris recently successfully passed the NASM Personal Trainer (National Academy of Sports Medicine) certification. She is specialized in Core Strength, Balance and Flexibility training. Whether you are active in sports, buying/carrying groceries or walking up (or down) stairs, balance is required to ensure proper movement and minimize stress on the body’s muscle structure.
