Camila Goodis

ORIGINALLY FROM BRAZIL, CAMILA HAS BEEN IN THE U.S. FOR 14YRS AND WORKS PRIMARILY IN/AROUND BEVERLY HILLS AND OUT OF HER HOME IN CULVER CITY.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO FITNESS: I was a ballerina and then I quit my career because I had too many injuries and I was tired of being hurt and just rehearsing and making no money. I decided to go into physical education. My major in school was physical education and I was always super active growing up and I decided that I wanted to change people’s lives with positivity and a passion for fitness.

WHO WAS OR WHAT WAS YOUR INSPIRATION: I admire Jillian Michaels’ career. She worked hard for herself and now she has everything. Books and workout videos. I was definitely inspired by her.

WHAT IS YOUR PERSONAL GO TO EXERCISE? My personal go to exercise is definitely a HIIT workout because I can target everything in my body in something like 45 minutes and I like to make up exercises.

WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST ABOUT LIVING IN BRAZIL? My whole family is in Brazil so I miss that a lot. Also the lifestyle and people in general because people in Brazil, no matter what they have, are really happy and I miss that energy. They appreciate life and approach things differently than the U.S. Now I’m very Americanized of course, but when I go back to visit I realize how much I miss that vibe.

WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON GOAL THAT YOUR CLIENTS HAVE? My clients usually want to lose weight or to get stronger and toned

DO YOU THINK SOCIAL MEDIA IS A FORCE FOR GOOD IN FITNESS? Yes I absolutely think it’s amazing for fitness especially because people these days don’t have time to go to the gym or sometimes don’t have the money and if they go on social media, they can find workouts they can do at home and it’s a great way to promote yourself as a fitness expert.

IF YOU COULD TRAIN ANYWHERE AND WITH ANYBODY, WHERE WOULD IT BE AND WHO WITH? I would say Bali with my fiancé

IF YOU HAD A SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE? If I had a superpower I would like to fly

DO YOU PREFER COOKING OR EATING OUT? WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE MEAL? I definitely prefer eating at my house and I do love to cook. I’m not big fan of restaurants. If I can eat at home every day I would, but sometimes I get a little lazy. My favorite foods are vegetables which is pretty boring. I also love sushi. I could eat sushi every day.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR 2020? For 2020 I’m planning a fitness + wellness retreat. The first one is going to be in Malibu and I want to do one in Brazil later this year. I’m also looking to write a book about exercise and nutrition and maybe I’ll be on a TV show.

FINALLY, WHAT ARE 3 TOP TIPS FOR READERS 1) Don’t lose your motivation. Wake up and do something. Go to the gym or workout at home 2) Drink plenty of water during the day. People forget to drink water. Hydrate your body. It helps your skin and digestion. Water is the key to being healthy and losing weight. 3) Stop doing fad diets. Do something that is sustainable for your life. Just eat healthy and your body you will change. You body is going to respond well to consistency. Don’t think I have to eat a certain number of calories a day. If you eat healthy whole foods and watch your portion size, you are going to see results. Chasing fad diets will make you miserable.
