Be Buff Fitness, LLC.

Hey there, my name is Irene. I live in NYC, I’m a mom to a rambunctious 7 year-old and a triathlete.

I had been of average weight most of my life. However, when I met my husband in 2001, that changed. Several years, vacations, and a child later, I found myself weighing an obese 232 pounds. I was miserable, so I started working out 2-3 hours each day. Sure, I lost a lot of weight, but there was no way to maintain such a crazy schedule and I kept getting injured because of it and I gained it all back.

I started reading up on health and fitness and learned that small changes can make a difference. I began running again and lost 12 pounds. Not a lot, but I was going in the right direction. In 18 months I dropped 80 pounds, going from a size 1X to a size 8. I running regularly. I have more strength, I have no pains, and most importantly, I am injury free. I’m now living a life I can maintain.

You think you can’t do this, think again.

I am now a certified fitness professional who teaches Group Classes, and I help others achieve their goals via Personal Training. I don’t speak in terms of skinny or fat. Instead I aim to get you fit, healthy, and toned while we work on getting rid of the unhealthy habits in our lives.
