About Carla
aka Baadass Barbie
Personal Trainer & Powerbuilding Coach
With over a decade of experience in the fitness industry, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients across group HIIT classes, one-on-one personal training, bodybuilding, and powerlifting. While I’ve always been active, it’s over the past six years that I’ve truly found my stride through powerbuilding—a training style that blends strength and muscle-building for maximum results. It’s not only transformed my own physique but also the way I help others approach fitness.
For me, fitness is more than just workouts and routines—it’s a way of life. I’m passionate about living a healthy, active lifestyle because of the incredible benefits it brings. The two most life-changing aspects for me have been the boost in mental health and clarity, and the strength and resilience that come from building a strong, healthy body.
I coach both men and women of all ages and experience levels, and my goal is always the same: to help you feel strong, empowered, and confident in your own skin. I want you to discover your inner badass—the part of you that shows up with confidence every single day and inspires others just by being you.
Whether you’re starting your fitness journey or looking to take your training to the next level, I’m here to support and guide you every step of the way. My mission is to have a positive impact on as many lives as possible—and I’d love for yours to be one of them.
