I’m Franchesca, and I’m thrilled to join Parks Tacoma as a Personal Trainer. I’ve lived in Washington most of my life, and Tacoma became home in 2020. 

As a lifelong learner, I am committed to constantly advancing my certifications and education in fitness and nutrition. From being an athlete my whole life, I personally believe everyone can achieve the mindset of an athlete. A mindset that is committed to accomplishing one’s fitness goal through willpower, dedication to practices, and a support system (I’d love to be a part of yours). Sharing my passion for fitness and health is not just a job but a calling—one that fosters strong community connections and growth. I am enthusiastic to empower all ages and all levels in becoming confident in the toolbox we will build for better health, increased longevity, and quality of life.

In my spare time, you’ll find me exploring nature and local parks with my dog, indulging in art, practicing self-care, and enjoying quality time with loved ones. Life to me is about balance and embracing new experiences, learning, and connecting!

My mission is to make healthy living effortless for you. Let’s transform your wellness journey into a sustainable lifestyle, one that brings joy and lasting results without unnecessary stress. You’ve taken the first step—let’s work together on a customized plan, stay consistent, and make gradual changes that lead to remarkable achievements. I believe in your potential!

As a lifelong Tacoma resident, I have always enjoyed all the physical activities this community offers. From playing soccer, golf, tennis, volleyball, trail running, even my first marathon at age 48! I have realized that it is vital to have a solid foundation for an athletic performance through strength and conditioning in a gym environment. I’m passionate about helping and encouraging people. My top goal is making sure people are safe and comfortable in a gym setting to meet their fitness goals.
