Introduction: Equipped with experience and fueled with passion for helping others reach their fitness goals, Johannes De La Cruz started his coaching career in 2009 training young athletes ages 9-15, preparing them for competitive sports such as Basketball, Softball, Football, and Soccer.
In March of 2012, Johannes decided he wanted to take his coaching experience to the next level. He learned about the power of fitness, and how it can heal and prevent health problems such as: heart disease, diabetes, depression, arthritis, and cancer. Having lost his mother to cancer just days before his 13th birthday, his way of fighting back was by helping as many people possible. By teaching them how to live healthier and longer lives through fitness, starting with the closest people in his life; his family and friends. He began leading his own workouts at Griffith Park, Calif. every Sunday.
The growth of his fitness traning turned into being one day a week, to two days a week, which led to a small business and to now a full-time lifestyle commitment.
Not only did he help his clients commit to the fitness lifestyle, Johannes also founded TeamXplosive, an obstacle course race team, who took his clients and advised them to take on challenges such as Tough Mudder, Spartan Race and the LA Marathon.
To date since 2012, Johannes De La Cruz, ISSA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, has achieved 3 Tough Mudders, 3 Spartan Races, and 1 LA Full Marathon. He plans to keep up this lifestyle to inspire others to do the same for themselves. Stay motivated, stay hungry, and become better everyday!"
