Gina Florido

Gina has always been active and trained on a regular basis. She grew up hiking, biking and playing soccer in Europe. Back in the states, she played volleyball and basketball in high school and college. After volunteering for the beach volleyball and regatta qualifiers for the Atlanta Olympics, the fine tuned athletes inspired her to become a personal trainer. She started training at the YMCA in 1995. From 1996 to 2004, Gina worked at the Spa Emporium in Clearwater. Then began working with Waldemar at Ironfit in 2004.

Gina enjoys teaching and assisting people to reach their health and fitness goals. As a trained athlete, she understands how far a person can be pushed while exercising, challenging your body and eventually completing the task. She has endured a handful of injuries and understands the road to recovery. She believes working in an all women's gym and helping people to lose weight has played a major role for her. Education and experience have taught her to implement a solid plan which consists of training for muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and nutrition.

During the week Gina puts herself through the same workouts as her clients and experiments with new exercises and training techniques. On the weekends you can find her on the East-West Trail, the tennis courts, or just running around.
