Sergio Carbajal has a well-deserved nickname, “PowerSerge“, based on his positive and enthusiastic approach to life and to fitness. A talented and kind-hearted athlete/choreographer, I was lucky enough to work with him a few times during the years that I was dancing professionally, prior to the car accident that ended that career for me.  Sergio and I met during in the 1990’s, by working together on a music video, performing as dancers.  He has the gift of being able to make any woman that he partners with look beautiful as a dancer, featuring their talents and keeping their body lines the focus of his elegant choreography, so he helped me to book more jobs by giving me hints on how showcase my strengths to look better in dance auditions.

Fast forward almost 2 decades and Sergio has morphed his talents into reaching more individuals by creating his own fitness program, using his nickname “PowerSerge“.  He encouraged me to attend one of his classes at the West Hollywood Equinox and the Fitness Factory to learn more about his approach to health and wellness.  His high-energy plyometric workout was easy enough for any non-dancer but enough of a challenge for a trained athlete, because he encourages people to work at their own level.  Taking his class awakened muscles that I hadn’t activated in awhile, so I left his class feeling inspired.

For people who are not class oriented, Sergio is also an ISSA personal trainer.  I’d recommend taking at least one personal session with him to be able to get a better sense of his unique approach and his personal philosophy.  And, he’s still active in the entertainment industry as an actor, choreographer, gymnast and much more, so he’s able to be compassionate and sensitive to the challenges performers face by being in the public eye.
