Natalia is a certified NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) personal trainer, a Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach, and is CPR/AED certified.

She went to Ohio State and graduated with a marketing degree, working in the corporate world for almost 8 years before becoming a stay at home mom when her second daughter was born. Shortly after that, she found SLAM. 

Natalia first started SLAM’n in Savannah, GA in 2017, then did a few rounds of Virtual SLAM after moving to Columbus, Ohio. Her passion for fitness and motherhood led her to expand the SLAM love to the Cbus area in late 2021.

She loves sharing the SLAM magic – where you come for the workout but stay for the community.  She believes that every mother is an athlete, and that moms can thrive when they find the perfect mix of sweat and friendship. 

Her favorite ways to SLAM are with leg burners & AMRAPs. She also enjoys running & training for half marathons. When she isn’t SLAM’n she’s likely organizing something, drinking coffee and reading, or spending time with her 3 daughters and husband.
