Rattana Manalo is Passionate about being a Fitness Professional
Rattana has been a certified fitness professional for 4 years. During Covid, she decided to go out of her confront zone and learn something new. After a bit of internet research, she came upon the NESTA website and decided to enroll in the Lifestyle & Weight Management Specialist program.
After finishing the LWMS course, Rattana decided to become certified in Muay Thai Fitness and the MMA Conditioning Coach program.
Impressed by Rattana’s dedication to her business and clients, the NESTA team wanted to share a bit of her story.
Why did you decide to become a fitness professional?
I decided to become a fitness professional after I lost my dear mother to cancer. She was my inspirational and motivational person. After she passed, I decided to make a difference in people’s lives so that they can stay healthy and fit for life. Bryce Krause was the main reason why I took the MTF Instructor certification. He was the real deal!
