We all want to rock a nice body, even if it isn’t summer time. Maybe it’s because the weather seems to stay relatively warm, even in the colder months out of the year; perhaps it’s simply for the reason that to look good is to feel good. Whatever the reason, people find it hard to maintain a routine for getting into shape.

However, at least one health coach in Inglewood makes it possible for people to come together and get into shape, all while building a sense of camaraderie. Leticia Barba hosts activities for locals in Inglewood to help promote their physical health. Throughout the weekday mornings her group comes in and dedicates a bit of their day to working out. “I mostly focus on working out with housewives,” she says. “Before they go about their day handling chores and dealing with their family, they get to come here and work out.”

When the women come in,they are asked about their workout goals and what they hope to achieve. Leticia then helps devise a plan for them to promote a healthful lifestyle so they can reach these goals. “This is a good atmosphere for the women to socialize and to get out of their house. We actually host holiday events and have group outings.” There are usually about 20 women coming in on a daily basis, and there are a total of 50 women that she’s currently working with.

The motivation Leticia has for helping housewives spawns from when she saw results in her very own mother. “If they need to bring their kids along with them then there’s someone here to watch over them.”

After her mom started working out and saw results, Leticia wanted to help others promote more healthful life- styles. Now she has the opportunity to do just that, but what she does is so more than guide people towards losing weight.

She’s also noticed they have more energy, and are generally happier now that they’re all promoting healthful lifestyles. “We’ve all grown to become close with one another in the process; some of the women formed good relationships after meeting each other here and hang out outside of the group.”

If anyone is interested in promoting a better lifestyle, remember that it’s never too early nor too late to do so. To learn more about getting fit and having a balanced lifestyle, please contact Leticia vie e-mail at
