Angelique is a third generation native to San Diego, and a graduate from Helix High School. She attended Grossmont Jr. College for two years, taking art and dance classes. Healthy living, spiritual pursuits, holistic healing, and anything out of the ordinary have always been an interest to her.

A performer at heart, she started dancing at the age of four, and throughout her life has studied different styles of dance. As an aspiring actress attending acting classes, Angelique was first introduced to GYROTONIC® training in early 2000 through a fellow student. In the beginning, she trained as a client a few times a week, because she wasn’t satisfied with the results she was getting at the gym. Physically and mentally, it just wasn’t gratifying! The work had such a positive effect on her posture, ability to manage stress, and the appearance of her body, that she decided to become a trainer herself.

She attended rigorous training courses instructed by Master Trainer, Lisa Marie Goodwin, of LA Body Kinetics, in Culver City, CA. For several months she worked as an apprentice in her own studio until receiving her certification through the inventor Juliu Horvath in August of 2001. In May of 2003, she became certified in GYROKINESIS®, after studiing with Master Trainer Juergen Bamberger. In July she became an authorized GYROTONIC® Pre-Trainer through the recommendation of Master Trainer Donna Place. And in April of 2004 she attended Level II GYROTONIC® Teacher Training instructed by Juliu Horvath. Also, every year Angelique attends a GYROTONIC® Level I Teacher Training Review course.
