RENE SEPULVEDA MPH, CPT

RENEfit's owner, Rene (pronounced "Rinny") Sepulveda, has led many on the fitness journey through his own business since 2010, as an elite trainer at ClubSport Pleasanton since 2011 and as a Division I collegiate track & cross country coach for over 20 years.  His most notable personal running achievements are two Olympic Marathon Trials.  More recently, he has run Masters races throughout the world, which motivates clients to find their own inner athlete.

How does RENEfit do it?  It’s in the three C’s:

• Consistency in your training - through a written, customized program you will understand each step and gain momentum along the journey.

• Commitment to your goals - bring a clear goal with you or let him inspire one with you; each goal is cumulative and leads to another peak or adventure.

• Conquering your fears - by listening to you, being present each step of the way and gaining your trust, fears dissipate and are replaced by confidence, courage and camaraderie (three more C’s!)

Coach Rene has tailored running and core fitness programs to a wide variety of clients at all levels and ages.  Many of these programs focus on increasing sports performance and returning from injuries, while others focus on weight loss and muscle building.  In 2013, Rene launched highly popular training groups for Tough Mudder events, The Men’s Health Urbanathlon and Spartan races.
