Rivafit

I have been going to Riva’s «Boomer» class. warm up, cardio & light weights & stretch down for about 4 – 5 years, Tuesday & Thursday at 10:30. Not only is it a great class with her great music, but never the same twice. We all have become great friends & socialize. Now about a year ago I started in her Monday AM stretch & balance class with my husband, who now swears that his golf game is greatly improved since this.
Just great for the guys too!

Riva is a warm, soulful, wonderful, encouraging, knowledgeable teacher who makes exercise non competitive and fun. I have done both private personal training with her as well as her stretch and fitness classes. I wasn’t surprised when she was named as one of the five top fitness trainers in Los Angeles. I used to feel self conscious of my not so perfect body working with Riva helped change the way I look at myself. It is in the small steps that I have found and made some really big changes.

I have been going to Riva’s class twice a week for about a year and I’m so glad I saw her sign on the sidewalk! It’s perfect for boomers who want to get and stay in shape.
Riva is really knowledgable about the body and how to get the most workout without overstraining. Perfect! The classes are always fun, nice clientele and Riva offers privates if you have areas that need special attention.

I’m not a big exercise joiner… hate gyms… shy away from classes, and it showed :)
Riva’s classes changed all that for me. She REALLY knows her stuff. She’s very knowledgeable about exercise physiology. Her routines are well thought out — not just jumping and bouncing around. She combines light weights, heavy weights, cardio, core work, stretch, all in one very fun class. She’s very aware, and caring about her students, and constantly corrects our form to make sure we’re not injuring ourselves, and we’re getting the most from the work out. The class is fun! It’s not your, «hey, I’m 20 something with a perfect body wearing practically nothing, and looking cute while I work out kind of class»… this is a class that is comfortable for 40’s, 50’s, 60’s… and you WILL get fit, have a healthy, moving, body. Four weeks of classes, and my whole body has transformed. The group is fun, warm and accepting. I feel 10 years younger, and 100% happier.

Riva is an amazing fitness instructor! She has zillions of official credentials and training, but most importantly, she has an innate sense of people; she instinctively knows what they need. She’ll get you in shape and she can cure your aches, pains and the blues, in a thorough workout including stretch, cardio, and muscle toning. And she makes it all so much fun!

Riva’s classes are the best. The workouts will change your life. Her classes are never the same. It’s a whole body experience. She uses
weights, balls, and bands. If you need help, she is always there.
I have severe arthritis and her classes have changed my life. She is
amazing!

This is the first time I’ve loved exercise! (including Curves). No 2 classes are the same, there are several classes to choose from & the women are really fun! Riva is amazing & you get individual help even in a full class! She’s amazing!
