Sylvia is a heart-driven, adventure lovin' fitness gypsy who believes gratitude is the foundation for transforming bodies and lives.

She is a 2X Tri-Fit World Champion, has been a featured cover model and fitness pro for Oxygen and Natural Muscle Magazine, and coach to athletes, TV personalities, top-level executives, entrepreneurs and high-potentials who want to change the world.

As an elite athlete for most of her life, she's learned that the best version of ourselves exists beyond our comfort zone. Her travel adventures throughout the USA, Canada, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Bahamas, Spain, Trinidad/Tobago, Jamaica, Costa Rica and India rekindled her life-long belief that in order to impact the world, we must first learn to cultivate a genuine, heart-felt appreciation for ourselves, those around us, and the circumstances that show up in our lives -- as is.

Sylvia has been featured in numerous fitness publications, NBC Miami, WSVN 7 News Fox, ESPN2, Discovery Channel, eHow.com and even as a stunt double for the fabulous Sofia Vergara in a National Lampoon film. She is currently building a movement of gratitude through the site RevolutionGratitude.com.
