Alisha "Sweet Pea" FelderAlisha "Sweet Pea" Felder grew up playing sports with her brothers and lived a very active lifestyle that included hiking, camping, and fishing. In high school, Alisha developed a love of running and strength training which helped her learn to push herself past boundaries and set goals from a young age. After graduation, a desk job and life took its toll leading to a significant weight gain. In 2017, Alisha started walking again in an attempt to begin getting back in shape. While on a walk she found 9Round Natomas and immediately knew this would be the perfect way to reach her goal. After her first workout, she was hooked and made it a habit to be there four to five days a week. Once Alisha began seeing results, she created a new goal for herself; to train hard enough to become a trainer. Almost 50 pounds later, Alisha is still working hard to be the best version of herself! She's is excited to help you do the same. -
