Fit Leader
Carla earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Merrimack College, where she completed her M.S. in Exercise and Sport Science. She is a certified personal trainer through NASM (CPT) and is CPR/AED certified through 2025. With a strong academic foundation and a passion for human performance, Carla brings both expertise and energy to every class she leads.
What drives Carla is witnessing people show up with the desire to better themselves. Her fire is ignited by the privilege of movement — the ability to train, grow, and challenge the body in ways that build confidence and strength. She loves Drive’s culture and community, and believes the atmosphere, music, coaches, and members all come together to create an experience unlike any other.
Outside the studio, Carla loves traveling, exploring new places, baking new recipes, shopping, and getting in a good workout. Her favorite Drive classes are C2S and Knockout because they keep the intensity high and push her outside her comfort zone. Her least favorite exercise? Front squats.
Carla is excited to empower every member who walks through Drive’s doors to feel strong, capable, and committed to their goals.
