Helya is the owner at The Studio, a high intensity and strength training gym in Ventura, Ca. She is the Mostfit Master Trainer, NASM Certified, RKC Certified as well as a nutrition specialist and the host of the popular podcast Fit n’ Busy. 

In 2014, the certifications were piling high for Helya and she realized her passion for fitness and helping people was no longer a hobby. She focuses on the balance between conditioning, strength and mobility. Her specialty is HIIT and interval training, specifically with kettlebells. 

Through the years she has helped hundreds of people, training at all levels. She can be spotted on the Yoga Anytime page doing her favorite styles of workouts: body weight high intensity and kettelbell training. 

Helya’s training methods are functional, effective and efficient. With the balance she creates between mobility, strength and conditioning, she can help you reach your goal with some dedication and without injury. She loves leaving you drenched in sweat and aims to create a positive and encouraging environment for everyone. She’ll push you, inspire you and teach you that “training” is a lifestyle, not a trend. She is the force that propels The Studio and fosters the culture of being a better, stronger and more mobile version of yourself. 

Camille’s fitness journey started with a major addiction to taking classes at The Studio! After being a permanent fixture for a while, a little fitness guru named Helya approached her about teaching HIIT. She started studying, got certified, and jumped in with both feet!

When it comes to training people, she is constantly inspired by what the human body and mind are capable of. She loves watching clients be genuinely surprised by their own progress. She loves people crush their goals and refuse to stop there. She especially loves when people walk in half asleep at 5 am, then walk out sweaty, energized, smiling, ready to conquer the day an hour later. She loves knowing that people are capable of more than they think and being able to push them past their own expectations. 

When it comes to her own training, other people continuously inspire her! When she sees someone doing something that looks challenging, or even impossible, she sees FUN and it inspires her to try new things and get out of her own comfort zone.  Camille’s infectious energy will keep your attention, her creativity will keep you guessing and her positivity will help you push through the hardest parts of class. 

Lauren started teaching yoga in the Spring of 2016, just a few weeks after finishing her 200 hour RYT training course.  Yoga has been a passion of Lauren’s for the past 5 years, and after the birth of her daughter in 2014 she wanted to find a career that was flexible and allowed her to be at home with her little one.  The Studio Ventura was the first gym to hire her and she has been so honored to learn and grow with such a great team!  Helya began training her to teach group fitness classes in the summer of 2017, which was a challenge that Lauren was excited to take on.

She really enjoys teaching both yoga, strength and conditioning classes. As cross training between styles allows her to get a balanced training lifestyle equal parts strength, stretching, and flexibility.

She is inspired to continue training because she loves to see the results in her students and herself.  Lauren truly loves fitness and sharing the benefits of movement. Our bodies are amazing and it’s rewarding to program exercises and watch strength, agility and confidence improve.

It’s about the overall quality of your life!
