My Mission

My name is Aliya Reyes! I am the Founder & CEO of YARA Wellness & Fitness. My passion is to inspire and empower individuals to achieve their optimal health and well-being through personalized fitness and wellness solutions. To create a community of like-minded individuals who support and motivate each other on their journey to a healthier lifestyle.

My Backstory

I was born and raised in Oklahoma. As you may know, Oklahoma is often associated as flat prairie land. Growing up on flat land meant being creative with outdoor adventures. So I remained active throughout adolescence by climbing trees or trying out different backyard sports (gymnastics or cheer on the trampoline, basketball with the free standing goals, volleyball with a portable net, and soccer with the fence as the goal). In middle school, I ran track as a sprinter and am now currently training for marathons as an adult. Somewhere along the journey into adulthood, I discovered the gym. My very own adult jungle gym! With every bit amazement for the machines and weights, I discovered a deep love for exercise. This discovery grew to become an even deeper love for the body's ability to develop and get stronger by prioritizing movement and nutrition into our life.

From passion to purpose, I became a Certified Personal Trainer, Virtual Coach, Recovery Specialist, Yoga Teacher, and Nutritionist.

As a health and fitness professional, I deeply enjoy helping people discover the power they have in their own body and to help them achieve health and happiness.

I am a life long learner and practice what I preach. I always say "forever a student and a teacher".

I am so happy you're here and honored to be a part of your wellness journey!
