About Dara
Fitness Trainer / Wellness Coach

Dara’s passion for the outdoors, sports and fitness inspired the launch of her first outdoor bootcamp in 2001, gaining national recognition when awarded as “the Official Ultimate Urban Outdoor Workout Program” by former NIKE and Olympic athlete, Marion Jones.

Enthusiasm, Expertise and Fun all in one!

Dara kicks my butt and I love it. She keeps it interesting. There’s not a lot of down time between activities as she really packs in the hour. Dara is also very knowledgeable. She’ll tell me exactly what part of my body I’m working and she’ll make adjustments to my posture so I don’t hurt/strain myself. I always have a good sweaty workout and that’s money well spent! I love Dara!

“Workouts are fun and challenging! Dara makes them were one at any level can join and get results. She asks for any requests on areas to work out and always comes through with new and different techniques! I love everyone of my workouts with Dara! I am always looking forward to the challenge!”

“Dara operates a fun and effective boot camp. I lost 40 lbs four years ago, then stopped for a few years. I recently started the boot camp again. I feel great and my clothes fit better. Dara is really good at keeping me motivated and positive during the workout, and she has a fun attitude. I look forward to these classes.”

“Dara is a great instructor. She has high energy and a positive demeanor. Her workouts are so so good. The classes are great for the ultra-fit, as she’s able to motivate and push to new levels as well as great for the “slightly out of shape” as she provides levels for her workouts so everyone can stay engaged and motivated. The workouts with Dara are a perfect fit with my otherwise in-door workouts. So nice to have fresh air and sunshine will getting fit!”

“Dara’s workouts are always fun and energizing, no matter how early you had to get up to do them. She gives you a personalized workout that changes often so you don’t get bored. And you get to be outside in beautiful Laguna Beach! Couldn’t recommend her more.”

“DARA is amazing! she keeps you motivated and is up beat. we had a great workout!”

“I am so fortunate to be in the city Dara is so I have used Dara as a trainer for several years now. I first saw her in Whole Foods and I thought I want to look like her. After approaching her I found out why she looked so good. Every time I go to work out I look forward to having fun while getting results. Her personality is so upbeat, she stays positive and really knows what to say to inspire me to do my best.”
