Personal Trainers cultivate the best in you!

Andrew Basile

Personal Trainer

Andrew Basile has logged countless hours in the gym with many clients of every age and fitness level. He understands that sometimes the first step is the hardest and strives to make the training environment upbeat and positive. His many years of experience in hockey, as well as a newfound passion for being an NPC Men’s physique competitor, have taught him valuable lessons about what it takes to reach a fitness goal – whether that goal be fat loss, (he was a 300 lb. teen-turned-trainer) muscle gain, or recovery from an injury.

Andrew’s philosophy to training is as follows: 20% Ability + 80% Will Power= A 150% New You! He attended a specialized educational course at the American Fitness and Nutrition Academy (AFNA) that has afforded him an expansive knowledge of applied training techniques as well as extensive knowledge of human biomechanics and functional movement. 

He is certified by ACSM CPT and holds additional certifications of AFNA CPT and weight management specialist, kettlebell, kickboxing, Schwinn cycling and VIPR. He is Tribe Team Training certified. He is certified in CPR through the American Heart Association.

Daniel Peterson-Beliakoff

Personal Fitness Instructor

My name is Daniel Peterson-Beliakoff. I graduated from California State University-Northridge in psychology and philosophy. I am a former researcher at the David Geffen Medical School of UCLA, and I am a personal trainer here at the Paseo Club.

My academic interests include behavioral psychology, philosophy of mind, and the mind-body connection. After completing my undergraduate degrees, I further pursued my interests as a researcher for the Department of Psychiatry at David Geffen Medical School. There, I focused on drug development for a variety of medical and neurological illnesses, including Alzheimer’s disease. During my years of research, I witnessed the healing power of fitness on trauma and mental wellness, both firsthand and through my research. Because of this, I pursued a personal training certification specializing in trauma-informed strength training and mobility-flexibility training for tennis and pickleball. 

The most important relationship any person has is the one between their body and their mind. It is the connection that allows for all our other relationships to exist. Through my work in the behavior science sector, in research, and in personal training,

I have helped clients from a wide range of backgrounds. What I have discovered is that mastering the relationship between our body and mind is incredibly difficult, let alone achieving health goals. Whether it be figuring out where to begin or knowing exactly what to do given out personal circumstance, the journey to health is not always straightforward and this where I come in. To assist beginners and lifelong health enthusiasts, I take a holistic approach to training by incorporating not only the body but also the mind in optimizing their relationship, leading to greater outcomes in the world and on the court.

Akila Rivera

Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor

The concept of transferring my skills as a professional dancer and choreographer to fitness to help others live a healthy lifestyle was a way I could use my background for good.  I invested in my fitness career by becoming a Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Group Fitness Instructor, along with other certified specialties such as Fitness Nutrition Specialist, Yoga, Cycling, Pilates, Zumba ® and TRX ®.

My experience includes working for high profile gyms, studios, medical fitness centers and for corporate wellness organizations.  I found a passion for corporate fitness, teaching for major organizations like Boeing, Toyota, AT&T/Direct TV and Loyola Marymount University. 

With a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and previously in a corporate office job for many years, I saw the direct benefits and results when corporate companies offer daily fitness and wellness options to their employees, so my favorite type of client is the busy business professional! I'm excited to work with clients to instill the benefits of regular exercise by offering personalized workouts and being an example of living a healthy lifestyle.

Jason Youmazzo

Instructor

I specialize in age-grade athletic coaching and instruction with an emphasis on strength, cycling and yoga. As a coach, my belief is that the physical and mental need to be in sync for optimized performance/change. That hard work is critical but not at the expense of the self and the relationships with others. I also hold true that we can accomplish much more than we think we can and that the limits we set are mirages which can be overcome.

I attended the Olympics Training Center and spent my early 20s and 30s racing bicycles across North America and retired from the sport at age 24. Since then I have coached and participated in age-grade athletics.

Having a well-rounded base of knowledge is important to me. I have obtained a 200 hour yoga certification, which supports a deep mind-body connection that help both the athlete and fitness enthusiast in all of us.

My focus is on bringing a balanced, fun, and a safe experience to fitness.
