A litte about me.....
Be Fierce, Be Fearless!
I am a Director at a NYC non profit that provides women with business and professional skills training. I received my Bachelor's degree in Public Relations & Communications with Cum Laude Honors and later received my Master's degree in Public Administration from Marist College.
I have served as guest speaker and panel member on topics around women's empowerment, personal and professional development and most recently presented on “Empowerment & Leadership: Defining your Role.” With a passion for community development and volunteerism, I have organized events from Youth Summits to conferences for Women and Girls of color, to fundraising events for organizations such as the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the American Heart Association. I have also assisted with both fundraising and event organizing for local non-profits, and have warmed-up the crowd at Color Vibe 5k and Safe Harbor’s 5k.
I am a life-long dancer, fitness enthusiast, student, Master Coach and dance fitness choreographer, and have been teaching group fitness programs for nearly 10 years.
Through both my professional and personal endeavors in assisting people to achieve their goals, I have developed a deep passion for women's empowerment and in community development. Deemed a people's-person, I have built a strong sense of community by having a no-judgment attitude in my classes and building a fitness platform based on respect, integrity, empowerment and the know-how that every fitness student is already a winner!
I created this program because my students were asking for more and after 6 major surgeries, I needed more.
This program is designed with the mind-set that while there are many fantastic fitness programs out there, no two fitness programs are alike.
I invite you to take a class, host a demo or master class and to be FIERCE AND FEARLESS in all that your heart desires. The opportunities are endless when you put YOU first!
My Family :)
Babies no more, my son JC and my girl, Angelica!
I am available to sit on panel discussions, keynote speaker, presenter at wellness events/conferences, fitness presentations.
Remember, the only one you are competing against is YOU, so what have YOU got to lose?

Testimonial by Lucia
"I.V.A Fitness has changed my mind, body and soul in so many ways. Lanette and Rita are amazing coaches! They push me to the limit that they know I can handle. Their motivation and encouragement strives me to push harder. I.V.A Fitness has made me find my inner strength to accomplish my goals, and I found myself doing things that I never thought possible. I.V.A Fitness has given me the strength to empower my family to be healthy and active. I've always imagined living a healthy lifestyle, and now it's visible and attainable through I.V.A. Thank you I.V.A Fitness for helping me actualize my goal."
