Adriana Medina, Personal Trainer & Founder

Fitness Expert and Humanitarian

Adriana believes personal fitness isn't just something you do in the morning, during lunch, or on your way home from work; it's a way of life. Her own personal journey proves anyone can embrace fitness at any age and discover a passion that can change their lives and the lives of those around them.

As a fitness industry veteran since since 2001, she founded Fuerte Fitness in 2007. Adriana’s inspiring demeanor and vast knowledge of exercise theory and technique allows her to make exercise programs accessible to almost anyone regardless of their fitness level or environment.

As a result, her contributions have a ripple effect; benefit countless families and the community as a whole. Her personal approach, which she carries forward through Fuerte Fitness, is centered around helping individuals reinvigorate or discover their love of health and fitness through personal training, classes, nutritional guidance, and community outreach. She also offers personal workouts you can do on your own, one one one training (in person or virtual), cooking classes, hiking, sporting events, and special workshops as well.

Adriana holds a B.A. in International Business from Boise State University. She is certified by the International Sports and Science Association (ISSA) and the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). Her unique experience within the health and fitness field includes fat loss, muscle gain, weight loss, flexibility, functional health for pre- and post-natal, and sports-specific athletic training.
