BENICIA TRAINERS
Denise Brazeal
My name is Denise Brazeal and I am the founder and president of Training Loft 714 INC. I've been living and breathing fitness since I can remember but decided to do it professionally about 20 years ago after earning my Graduate degree and realizing that this was my true passion.

I am confident that anyone, at any age or fitness level can achieve their goal of losing weight, looking great and being healthy with the right exercise program, eating plan and support system. Change takes a lot of hard work, dedication and commitment but I am certain I can help anyone change their life as long as they are willing to put in the work it takes to get there.

Rami Fernandez
My name is Rami Fernandez and fitness is my passion. Being a busy mother of five and working as a registered nurse, I found that making time for myself to exercise brought me great happiness. Working out is now part of my lifestyle and a few years ago I decided to become a competitive bikini bodybuilder. I have learned the importance of dedication, discipline, and determination and that anyone can accomplish their goals when they put their minds to it with the right support system, instructors and coaches. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my passion with others by teaching group fitness classes at the Loft. I’m ready to encourage and inspire everyone to reach their fitness goals. Come check out a sculpt or cardio class with me at the Loft.
Cheri Arbizu
There is an energy and transformational power found at the Training Loft 714. The enthusiasm of the trainers and instructors for health and total body wellness is contagious. I channeled into their passion and now I’m happy to say that I am a AFAA certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor. My name is Cheri Arbizu, and I started my journey at the Training Loft in 2021 forty pounds heavier and plagued with low self-esteem and self hate. I no longer recognized myself in the mirror and knew that I needed to make a change. Thanks to a great friend, Shoni, she saw through my discouragement and pain and opened the door as I stepped into the Training Loft for the very first time. I was immediately accepted and found great support and encouragement. As my mind strengthened and my body changed my self-confidence began to soar. I never imagined that I could be a leader in fitness. My goal for everyone I encounter is to meet you wherever you’re at. I have a strong desire to motivate and inspire others to meet their personal goals and find their own passion for health and wellness.
Wendy DuBois
My name is Wendy DuBois. I am the surgery coordinator for the main operating room and surgery center, as well as the tissue specialist for Marin Health Medical Center. I was previously a surgical technologist, but suffered a back injury on the job nine years ago. I was always an active person growing up playing soccer, softball and running track. But with my injury and having two kids the weight gain made me feel like my light dimmed and all hope was lost. It wasn’t until I stepped through the doors of the Training Loft in October 2014 that I felt that light start to shine through. I felt as if I had finally found my place. “my home away from home.” Denise took me under her wing and begin training me with Modified moves. After a few months I was 70 pounds lighter, able to do more of the complex moves during classes and on my way to compete with Bay Area Knockouts in the bikini division. I have since competed in six different shows, placing top three in a few. The Training Loft taught me self discipline and has brought so much joy back into my life over the years, that I decided to become a AFAA certified group fitness instructor. I wanted to give back to the community that gave so much to me. I want to motivate others to become the best versions of themselves. To give someone time to forget about all the stresses in life and be able to work towards healthier goals mentally and physically. I am so excited to be part of the Training Loft staff and I hope to see all of you soon!
