Up Close and Personal: GGX Instructor Agnes Del Torro
January 27, 2015
Who doesn’t know one of our GGX Superstars Agnes Del Torro? Read on to get up close and personal with her!
Agnes is known for teaching classes that are more on the hardcore side like Body Pump, Body Combat, TRX, RPM, GX Tour, CXWORX, and even GRIT that might not be for the faint-hearted. Fit Ball might be the least hardcore class she’s currently teaching, though she’s in the process of training to teach Pilates as well. But, who would’ve thought that she used to be the Senior System Engineer for an IT service provider in Bandung? Just 7 years ago, she was a Gold’s Gym member at Braga! Everything started when an instructor dared her to be an instructor, too. Being the adrenaline-junkie that she is, she took up on the dare, took the training for Body Combat, and aced the test. In hindsight, she wouldn’t have guessed that teaching, even though she admittedly say is no easy feat, would be her passion.
As the newly appointed GX Manager for Gold’s Gym Bintaro X-Change, working filled most of her day. But because she sees her work not as just something she has to do but rather something she genuinely enjoys doing, she is driven to give her all. She takes pride in seeing all the classes and clubs she’s handled packed with satisfied members. Just see Braga and Gajah Mada that she used to handle! Now, she is trusted to handle yet another club at Bintaro X-Change. This is a challenge that excites her more than anything. Her favorite part of the club is the breathtaking view at the GGX area and spinning area.
What she likes the most about teaching is seeing a tangible difference and results from her member, both from their body as well as their fitness & health know-how. She also likes it when her members can do all the movements she taught properly. Agnes told us the time when she was teaching TRX at Gajah Mada, her members finally could do all the movements with little to no instruction from her. They became such an expert that when another member joined the class for the first time, they were the ones ended up teaching the new member! Agnes not only feels happy but also content to see her members improve significantly and able to master the movements.
You’ve read all about how she is at the club, but how about her personal life? She’s definitely into sports and fitness. Even in her spare time she would run during car free day or go swimming. She also has a very unique perspective on diet. “I say no to diet,” Agnes said. To her, our body is a reflection of our mind. If you set your mind to having a great body, there’s no way you would eat junk food that’s bad for your body. “You have to be a mindful eater,” she added.
