More about the Featured Trainers:
Rainbeau Mars is an L.A.- based yoga pro. A yoga devotee for years, Rainbeau has developed ‘ra’yoka,’ a unique hybrid of yoga, martial arts and core conditioning. Along with her impressive credentials, Rainbeau was chosen to be adidas’ first yoga ambassador because of her training philosophy, “Integration of mind, body, and spirit creates intention in the way we move through the world.”
Rainbeau describes herself on her Twitter feed as yogini, adidas Global Ambassador, MC, actress, live food and holistic care expert, mother, and CEO of Rainbeau Mars Lifestyles. She has also released 7 yoga DVDs.
Violet Zaki is a NY-based elite fitness instructor and martial arts expert. As well as being a Certified Fitness Instructor, Violet has a black belt in Seido Karate, and is a competitive contact fighter. Along with her role as adidas’ first Combat workouts ambassador, Violet shares her passion for fitness via hi-impact workout DVDs, guest gym appearances, contributing journalism, and motivational speaking sessions.
Violet originally comes from Australia. Being an overweight teenager, Violet used fitness as a way of increasing her self-esteem. After a stint in counseling, Violet’s New York fitness career started off as a volunteer instructor at her local YMCA, and then worked her way towards becoming one of the most sought-after teachers at New York’s premier club, Equinox Fitness. Violet says, “Gaining confidence, self-esteem, and overcoming mental obstacles are a result of hard work. Being a trainer for Adidas is one way I can encourage others to strive for their very best. If you really want it, it’s up to you to make it happen!”
As well as a zest for the ultimate workout, Violet truly believes in the positive effects that exercise has on our mind and body. She has taught her style of innovative, challenging, and high-energy workouts to fitness lovers, celebrities and a conference of 250 Pan-Asian instructors at the 2008 adidas Fitness Academy event in Seoul.
Violet’s philosophy is, “One mind. One body. One life.”
Marta Formoso is a Barcelona-based dance-fitness instructor, and adidas’ first dance workout trainer. This young instructor has been hooked on dance since she was six years old. Now in her early 20s, Marta began teaching her unique flavour of dance fitness at just 16 years of age when she earned her Group Fitness Instructor’s Certification, and presented her first international convention in Argentina when she was only 18. Marta is an expert in dance related cardio workouts, Pilates, and functional muscle training.
Marta’s workout philosophy is that trying different training styles is a great way to grow, stay motivated, and to enjoy your workout. Marta says, “Whatever reason you dance for, it’s great for your body and mind, and adidas workouts give you the chance to sample some of the hottest new training styles.” Her life philosophy is, “Live out your dream.”
