I sat down with, Coach + Studio Manager, Bianca to chat about all things Activate House, life as a studio manager/coach, living in San Diego and current faves. A fun conversation with this babe!
Enjoy this read.
Hi Bianca!
Can you tell us a bit about what inspired you to start working in the fitness industry?
I first started working in the fitness industry after I stopped playing soccer and was looking for some new physical activity. I started with working front desk at a spin studio then transitioned to becoming a coach. My passion for fitness has continue to grow on as I have tried new class formats!
How would someone describe you in 3 words?
Energetic, positive, fun
What do you love most about Activate House?
I love how diverse & inclusive Activate House is! No two coaches are alike, each have their own unique style. I also love that you can do 3 different classes (Spin, Sculpt, Yoga) all in one studio. Lastly, I love how trendy & modern Activate House is. There is truly no other studio like it!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely has not been a smooth ride but what I have learned is to truly believe in myself and my capabilities. No matter how far out of reach my goals seem, if I put in the work I know I can get there. When covid hit, it definitely paused my fitness career and made it seem like it was never going to happen. But that showed me how much I really wanted it and I was going to do whatever it took to get my foot in the door of the fitness industry.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Omg so many places! I love to continue to explore San Diego even though I grew up here. My favorite brunch spot is definitely Morning Glory. I also spend lot of time in the North Park area. I always take my friends to Holy Matcha, Pigment, and Artelexia.
What are you most excited about?
The Activate House community! I truly believe it is going to be one unlike any other. There is already such great energy from the coaches to the clients who have already showed interest in Activate House. All around good vibes!
