This week, we’re turning the community spotlight on L.A. fitness trainer Joselynne Boschen. The lifelong dancer and owner of Alpha Sport (formerly Alpha Female Clothing) recently paired up with Nike to open a beautiful new gym in Venice Beach. We met up with Joselynne to learn more about the innovative new Alpha Venice Gym that will be opening its doors to the public this week, and her experience as a top fitness trainer.

Tell us about the new gym and your partnership with Nike. What are some of the gym’s distinct features?
This is a very interesting and unique project. Nike has joined forces with my company, Alpha Sport, to open a beautiful, 3200 sq ft., high-functioning training facility in Venice, CA. I will be teaching Nike Training Club classes at the gym, which really kick training up a notch as opposed to the routine gym experience. A digital touchscreen jukebox allows NTC class members to choose a pre-class playlist. During class, members will find motivation from their personal “Make Yourself” statements that will be displayed on a digital wall. Local NTC App users can continue to clock minutes and earn badges on their App in the atmosphere of an actual gym.

How did you get into training?
I grew up as a professional dancer in Northern New Jersey. Since the age of 7, I was competing all over the country. Dancing taught me the dedication & discipline that is required to keep reaching for what you want to achieve. I am so thankful that I had such wonderful parents that made sure I could be there EVERYDAY, and teachers that pushed me as hard as they did. After high school, I decided to move to Los Angeles to go to school and work as a professional dancer. I started studying nutrition and obtained a nutritional coaching certificate, as well as becoming a certified STC trainer. My passion for wellness has taken me where I am today. Everyone has the power to do what they love, they just have to love it ENOUGH to do whatever it takes to get to the finish line.

What is your favorite workout?
Functional agility training - all of the components for Nike Training Club! It's important to change it up daily. There is nothing more boring to me than the same thing over and over. If you can take it outside and get creative, even better!

What’s your personal motto? What advice do you always give to your clients?
The word ALPHA says it all. The way I want my clients to feel when they finish a work out is proud, accomplished and strong. Focusing on the health aspects of training should be the top priority. We all want to lose an inch here, tighten a bit there, but what really matters is long term. What do you love about yourself and your body? What steps are you taking to create lasting health and confidence? What can you do today to make yourself smile? Push yourself, sweat and appreciate all the beautiful things that make you, YOU!

We hear you have a ton of healthy recipes. Do you have any favorites that you could share with us?
I have a company called Alpha Sweets: healthy, organic, gluten free, and sugar-free baked goods. A cookbook will be out soon. I am sure the suspense is killing you! Recipes are posted from time to time on my blog: alphaWHAT.blogspot.com, as well as other helpful tips, factoids, thoughts and inspirational notes.
