Keishia Gu is avid fitness instructor, surfer, and champion of all forms of empowerment--physical and mental. She is certified in Yoga RYT200, Prenatal Yoga, Les Mills Immersive Fitness®, Les Mills Body Pump®, Schwinn® Indoor Cycle instructor. 

 

After transforming and sculpting her own body using the Nutrisystem weight-loss program and a side of dance in 2012, she garnered the brand’s attention and became one of the national winners of the Nutrisystem Fab 40 Weight Loss Challenge. For 10 years, she has been featured on dozens of broadcast television and social media campaigns for the weight-loss company. 

 

Gu’s life-changing, weight loss journey unlocked a desire to share her acquired knowledge of health and fitness with others through fitness, training and advocacy.

 

As a licensed dance instructor who has moved all her life, Gu takes pride in the authenticity of the dance fitness experience she provides for students. Her fun, high-energy classes feature musical genres, such as African, Samba and Caribbean, which highlight her heritage and dance training. She also mixes in some hip-hop choreography from current music videos and has been known to incorporate dance battles and Soul Train lines into her classes to keep things fresh and interactive.

​

Her Body Pump and Immersive Fitness classes tap into the inner strength and warrior that exists in everyone. She packs her weight training and cycle classes with passion, skill, technique, motivational coaching, and what Les Mills calls: "performance and fitness magic."

 

In order to complete her transformation of mind and body connectivity, Gu completed 200-hours of yoga teacher training at Goda Yoga in Culver City, CA and Prenatal Hatha Yoga at the Yoga Education Institute in Woodland Hills, CA. "I believe that in order to be a truly healthy person, one has to fully integrate mind, body, and heart. Yoga adds the important element of flexibility, strength, and a restorative mindfulness practice that is needed in a comprehensive fitness program." 

 

When Keishia is not in the gym and inspiring others through healthy living and wellness, she can be found surfing, biking and hiking with her husband, two fur babies, and daughter in beautiful Southern California.
