You could not find a more encouraging Coach than Lydia. Her energy and enthusiasm are off the charts. She motivates even the total novice. Our kid never participated in organized sports other than school phys ed. He suddenly decided to "qualify" for high school cross country. We wanted to make sure he didn't exacerbate a slight limp we noticed. Coach Lydia only had two weeks to work with our teen before the try-out. She was incredibly accommodating with her schedule. She could have insisted meeting every day (earning more). Instead, she emphasized the body needed to heal, and made sure working out was effective. Most notably, our teen said she made the twice weekly hour session "VERY FUN, but really challenging."

We never paid much attention to brands, unless a doctor advised something. Lydia makes it easy. Having worked for major big brands, her knowledge of product seemed encyclopedic. She provided links for shoes, work out bands, even massage rollers! Before Lydia, we didn't even know there were "neutral vs stability" shoes.

She is passionate about running and passionate about the body. She emphasizes balance, body mechanics, and muscle monitoring. Even if you have flat feet, you may even opt to ditch the podiatrist's inserts.

Her commitment to the whole student permeates the relationship in every way! In a word, she is WONDERFUL.

Lydia cares about you! Her workouts were hard, and she taught me tons of exercises to help strengthen my body and improve my running. She's super upbeat and interested in helping you.

Miaomiao (CoachUp client)

Coach Lydia was absolutely a great inspiration and motivation! Very professional and helpful. I was experiencing severe back pain due to running. After a couple training sessions with her my back pain was gone. She helped me understand running on a different level. She educated me with tons of training techniques for my half marathon and was constantly checking my progress and health on a daily basis. I'd highly recommend Lydia to anyone who's looking for professional training.

Stephanie Livingston (Testimonial)

I was searching for a trainer for my daughter who just started freshman track. I found Lydia online and I’m so grateful to have found her! She is absolutely amazing! Her professionalism and knowledge of the sport is very impressive. Lydia is so enthusiastic and supportive during each session. My daughter is very shy, but Lydia made her feel comfortable and she always looks forward to her weekly training sessions. Lydia messages me each week with tips for my daughter and offers the best equipment to use. Lydia worked around my schedule and is very flexible which works so great for working parents. Lydia helped my daughter reach her goals and I can’t wait to book more sessions with her in the future.

Mia Rucoba (Testimonial)

I have had Lydia as a coach since May. Throughout high school I put a lot of pressure on myself from running and had a lot of race anxiety that I got from the coaches during high school, but during the summer I followed the tips and advice from Lydia and soon realized that I can't imagine myself training with any other coach. When I put a lot of pressure on myself throughout high school, I honestly didn't enjoy running for my last 2 years in high school. Then I met Lydia. I learned things about myself and more about running that I ever thought I would. I fell in love with running again. With support from Lydia, I had someone to hold me accountable, someone to hype me up when I was crushing the workouts, and someone to assure me when the workouts didn't go as planned. She has so much to offer and I'm fortunate to have found a coach as phenomenal as her!

-Niquae (Testimonial)

Working with Lydia has been great for maintaining my fitness level during my pregnancy. She’s highly motivating and focused on strengthening my growing body. The mix strength trading and high impact cardio at the start of my journey to low impact cardio was done with interval training with kettle bells, a jump rope, bosu balls and bands. This gave me great results that were also very safe and supportive. Still a few months to go and I’m looking forward to my continued movement that’s sure to prepare me for labor.

Catherine Chapin (Testimonial)

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality, Value My son had the opportunity to be coached by Lydia at a week long basketball camp over the summer. My son is very passionate about basketball but struggled when he was younger with having a bad attitude on the court. Coach Lydia knew exactly how to help him channel that into positivity and play at his best. She has been such a positive influence and cheerleader (to this day!) in his life and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to be coached by her. Her energy and passion to help kids achieve whatever goals they have is a gift she has. Thank you Coach Lydia for the support, encouragement and motivation you give my son. I love seeing you do this for other kids as I know you are helping guide each and every one of them!

— Norma Galeana (Testimonial)

I live in Los Angeles, California. My daughter Isabela Salazar (14 years old) was very fortunate to meet coach Lydia at the Kobe Basketball Academy held in Santa Barbara, California. It was Isabela’s first time attending KBA and I was a bit concerned given that they spent 10-12 hours a day during the camp. Ms. Lydia possesses a combination of knowledge about the game, but also the charisma and patience that makes her connect almost automatically with players. I saw her personal connection with each and every one of the kids that were on her team. With Ms. Lydia, my daughter learned that it was not only about the game. Her summer experience expanded to teamwork, discipline, love for the game, friendship, and fun. Up until this day my daughter remembers that summer she met an amazing coach and friend.
