At Pura Vida we are excited to announce the September βMOMβ, goes to the one and only G-DOG (Gillian Torchia)!! Gillian is a teacher here in the valley and probably the coolest/fittest one out there!! G-Dog has helped create an amazing atmosphere at our 5:30pm class with her positive attitude and being so consistent. She came to us with a great baseline and we have been able to help her become more advanced in the past couple of months. One thing I appreciate about G-Dog is her fighter mindset that helps her push through tough workouts. Congrats Gillian on your fitness journey so far, and we are excited to see you continue to grow!! Also, thanks for letting us pick on you....
