Master RKC, PCC Team Leader Angelo Gala has been a fitness professional area for over than 15 years. He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the NCSA, has studied the Pranavayu system of yoga under David Magone and has completed a 1 year intensive study of Mangalam Yantra Yoga Under the guidance of Lama Migmar Tseten.
He considers himself an all-around fitness nerd and endurance junkie. Gala continually works to better himself and inspire others by leading a lifestyle conducive to physical, emotional, and spiritual development. He believes that no one should focus too much time and energy on a single dimension of fitness. He encourages all different types of movement that is not limited to just running, jumping, swimming, biking or lifting things up and putting them down again and again. He teaches clients to train with intention progressively, intelligently and with as many different modalities as the heart desires. Do this and the body and mind will be forever grateful.
