About

ABOUT ME Hi, I’m Arnold, NASM-Certified Personal Trainer and founder of CIMA Fitness. My specialty is helping busy professionals—executives, tech leaders, and entrepreneurs—look, feel, and perform at their absolute peak. (CIMA means “peak” in Spanish.) I know firsthand what it’s like to juggle long hours, high stress, and constant pressure to deliver results. I built my own transformation while working through those same challenges—dropping body fat, overcoming injuries, and rebuilding my body to move without pain. That’s why my programs go beyond workouts: they’re designed to solve the real problems high-performers face. ⸻ WHO I WORK WITH My clients are often: • Tech professionals sitting through 10+ hour workdays with back, hip, or neck pain • Entrepreneurs battling stress and energy crashes that hurt focus and productivity • Busy leaders struggling to stay consistent with workouts or nutrition while managing demanding schedules ⸻ WHAT I OFFER I’ve developed a proven system that blends corrective exercise, strength training, and nutrition coaching into one streamlined process. My clients experience: • Less pain and tightness from long hours of sitting • Improved posture, mobility, and energy • Sustainable fat loss and body composition changes • Strength and stamina that translate into sharper focus and higher performance at work ⸻ WHY WORK WITH ME I’m not just another trainer telling you to “push harder.” My journey taught me how to build a body that supports your career and lifestyle, not fights against it. I combine science-based methods with real-world experience so you can train smarter, get results faster, and keep them long-term—even with a packed calendar. If you’re looking to work with a female trainer who follows the same CIMA Fitness system, my sister Jocelyne is also part of the team. She’s an up-and-coming trainer who’s quickly earning a reputation for helping women build strength, confidence, and mobility through the CIMA approach. You can mention that you prefer a female trainer in your message to me, and I’ll direct you to her profile. ⸻ NEXT STEP If you’re ready to stop feeling limited by your body and start performing at your highest level—in and out of the gym—let’s connect and schedule your complimentary session to see if we’re a good fit. ——————————————————————— Certifications & Credentials 💪 Passionate Fitness Enthusiast (Since 2014) 📚 NASM Certified Personal Trainer (2019) 🍏 NASM Certified Nutrition Coach (2020) 📉 NASM Weight Loss Specialist (2021) 🦵 NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist (2023) 🌟Certified StretchLab Flexologist (2024)

I can't say enough good things about Arnold as a personal trainer. His expertise is truly impressive. He knows exactly how to challenge and motivate me in a way that’s effective and safe. Arnold is always punctual, and I appreciate that I can rely on him to be ready to go every time. What really sets him apart is his holistic approach. I've been working through an ongoing injury, and thanks to his guidance, the pain has lessened considerably. The table work he includes at the end of each session have noticeably improved my flexibility. Beyond his professional skills, he’s a great person—encouraging, non-judgmental, and easy to work with. After considering several trainers, it was clear that Arnold was the best fit for me.

Arnold is thoughtful in how he structures your plan and works with you to achieve your objectives. I've trained with several personal coaches before and found Arnold to be one of the better ones. The cherry on top (though for me is more of the cream) is his focus on stretching at the end of the workout. Dealing with lower back issues which affect my mobility and hips, the stretching routine which he incorporates in the workout is awesome.

Cima Fitness | Coach Arnold's reply

Thanks so much! I’m glad the customized plan and integrated stretching have been helpful, especially with your back and hip mobility. I always aim to build smart, goal-oriented programs that leave you feeling better, not beat up. Appreciate the trust!

Arnold is very knowledgeable in training and stretching, and I’ve felt more fit and confident than ever over the past three months of working with him. He knows how to pinpoint weak muscle groups and design programs that are both challenging and approachable. For beginners, some exercises can feel a little intimidating at first, but Arnold and Jocelyne make the environment professional and comfortable, allowing us to build skills and strength gradually.

I can’t say enough great things about Coach Arnold and Coach Joce at CIMA Fitness! I originally started training with Coach Arnold and later brought in my mom. From the very first session, my mom absolutely loved him, and after meeting Coach Joce, she felt an instant connection, just like I did. Coach Arnold is incredibly knowledgeable in all things fitness, and it’s amazing how much expertise he brings not only in training and nutrition but also in stretching and mobility. He has a deep understanding of how the body moves and always takes the time to ensure we are properly warmed up and moving safely before strength training. Coach Joce is equally amazing when it comes to nutrition, balanced training, and understanding women’s health. She has such an intuitive and supportive approach that makes every session feel empowering and sustainable. No matter what kind of day or week I’ve had, I always leave our sessions feeling better; uplifted, strong, and capable. She’s also incredibly attentive, checking in throughout the week to see how my workouts and nutrition are going, and making sure I feel supported every step of the way. They are both incredible at tailoring every aspect of training to each individual. For example, my mom and I have different goals, and they are so detailed and thoughtful in designing workouts that fit each of our needs perfectly. My life and overall outlook on fitness have improved so much since having them in my life, and my mom can absolutely attest to the same. They are not just great coaches; they are truly amazing people who make you stronger, healthier, and happier inside and out.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I help clients from the ground up. I develop a program specifically structured for the clients needs. Based on their schedule, experience, and goals they are trying to attain. I implement a lot of my Stretch Lab knowledge into the beginning of my program, while also developing a nutrition plan and help the client start health habits or stop the unhealthy ones.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am certified with NASM. Through NASM I have: -CPT, Certified Personal Trainer -CNC, Certified Nutrition Coach -WLS, Weight Loss Specialist I have two years working with StretchLab. Stretch Lab helps people develop overall mobility, align posture, and rehab/prevent injuries. I had to go through 200 hours of hands on training and online education before working with clients.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started working out when I was 19 years old. Unfortunately I did not follow a structured plan at first and was constantly getting injured which made progress stall quite a bit. At 25 y/o I decided to get certified as personal trainer. This is where I learned the importance of body mechanics, nutrition strategies, and crating structured programs. At the time my sister worked at Fit Republic gym and she got me a job instantly as a trainer. Here I learned how to build a book of business, how to network on the gym floor and developed myself into a true fitness professional. After only 1 year of being certified, I decided to start my own business. This is where I started to build Cima Fitness. 4 years later I have helped over 50 clients with their fitness and health needs and I have the luxury of having a career that I am truly passionate about.
