Way back when I had a tan. The tan comes and goes. But one things for sure, I’ve always had muscles.
Adding some lean tissue on your body requires 3 things: proper nutrition, the right type of training (including the movement patters, intensity, reprange and rest) and finally sleep.
For anyone who would like some more info on my personalized plans and to learn more about the fine details of diet and working out for weight loss and toned muscles feel free to email me at sophia@sophiaFIT.com.
I was honoured to spend some time today with the amazing Lena Walther who is an activist for sex trafficking prevention with the focus on protecting girls and children. Her website is here: https://aipnv.org/ We planning on putting on some self defense workshops geared towards developing awareness and prevention and basic self defense skills standing up and on the ground directed at the parents and daughters. Sex trafficking is rife around the world hugely prevalent in Las Vegas and It’s important to know that it’s not as cut and dry as it seems. There is loads of manipulation involved and if you aren’t aware of it, your child could be getting roped into one of these situations. Lena explained that a lot of the ‘seduction process’ is via social media. Awareness is the first step and knowing the ‘signs’.
For those who would be interesting in finding out more about the future workshops plese email me at: sophia@sophiaFIT.com
Everyone practicing creating space while on the ground
I have been teaching a lot of self defense workshops lately and what is so great about this is that more and more people are wanting to empower themselves with essential skills to stay safe. But also more corporate companies are wanting to provide this knowledge to their employees for a safer work place.
Just last week I did a demonstration at the MGMGrand ballroom for 350 people who had never seen anything like this before followed by a workshop to another group at Browns Gymnastics in LV. It is so empowering to be building awareness and know that I can share with everyone the tools to stay safe and hopefully diffuse a possible situation.
I guide the class through specific techniques both standing up and on the ground, basic safety precautions and I and discuss the phycological aspects of self defense such as speaking up and trusting your intuition.

I am blessed to be teaching a workshop on Feb 18 at Bodysport Fitness Center. This is stage 3 Lethal Ladies so the focus is rape prevention and dealing with situations while being pinned on your back. This is my favorite course because I show you how to kick ass and execute chokes shoulder locks and arm locks! 🤯 A great teaser into BJJ also for those who are curious but a little nervous about starting. This is a women only event and I strive to create a safe space for everyone to let go and learn. Sign up here to book your spot and hit me up for the family discount (mother daughter, sisters etc).

At the end of March I am teaching a Weekend Retreat and it is going to be amazing. Set around nature, the house is also close enough to visit the strip to enjoy all the bling that Las Vegas has to offer. The focus of my retreats is to recharge and heal and to get away from the daily grind. We will be enjoying good healthy food that is provided, workouts and no gi/self defense training as well as morning sunrise yoga. The evenings will be spent with various workshops including a guided meditation and a session with a very special guest motivational speaker, holistic facilitator and clairvoyant.
All the ladies attending will also be receiving a goodie bag from our amazing sponsors!!!
There are a few spaces left. For more info and to book your spot click here:
Here is to 2020, whereby for me it is a year of glamour and style. I am here to show that women can do both if they want to. They can be that tough, strong athlete and they can also be glamorous and feminine ladies. There is no need to repress femininity, beauty or sexuality to be respected and/or taken seriously as an athlete. There is no need to repress any part of us that needs to be expressed and defines who we are. #femininestrength is the strongest and most powerful thing there is. #womenmakethewmorldgoround #powerofshe
