Meet Chakira Bonilla

Chakira is a Los Angeles native who loves to get her Zumba classes pumping with fun routines and exhilarating music! 

Not only has she helped tons of our members reach their fitness goals, she is inspired daily by those who she teaches. It's clear to see that not only is she an excellent instructor, but she is a favorite teacher among many!

When Chakira is not killing it in the fitness world, she loves spending time working out with her husband, as well as spending time with her sisters and with her 7-year old niece and listening to music. We’re so glad that Chakira is an instructor at Gold’s Gym Glendale and appreciate her working with us!

Meet Travis Cheek

Travis Cheek is one of our amazing cycle instructors and mentors. Travis started his own weight-loss journey a few years ago and never looked back! He realized he was 80 pounds over his preferred weight limit, took responsibility and is now working to help transform our Gold’s Gym Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks members every day. 

When you're trying to lose weight, you've got a number of diets to choose from. The Ketogenic diet, the Paleo diet, low-carb diets, specific group programs...every effective weight loss plan has one thing in common: a calorie deficit.
