Owner and Head Trainer at A-Team Health and Fitness

Alesha Garcia Jardin is the owner and head personal trainer at A-Team Fitness, where she has spent the past eight years helping individuals build stronger bodies, healthier habits, and more confident lives. Her work combines strength and conditioning, functional movement, and nutrition coaching to create personalized, sustainable results.

Alesha’s connection to movement began in childhood through competitive sports, but her deeper purpose in fitness emerged later after navigating weight gain, chronic pain, and a spinal surgery. These experiences shaped her philosophy: fitness should improve quality of life, support long-term health, and empower—not punish—the body.

In addition to her work in private coaching, Alesha served as a professor at San José State University, where she taught coursework in strength training, movement foundations, and applied fitness principles. Her academic role further strengthened her evidence-based approach and passion for education, ensuring that clients not only train—but understand why they’re training the way they are.

She holds extensive industry credentials including:

Precision Nutrition Level 1, USAW Level 2 Olympic Weightlifting Coach, NASM CPT, NESTA CPT, CrossFit Level 1, FRC Practitioner, Pain-Free Performance Specialist, Spartan SGX Coach, Lifelong Performance Specialist, and the Girls Gone Strong Pre & Postnatal Certification.

At A-Team Fitness, Alesha designs individualized strength and nutrition programs centered around performance, mobility, and confidence—not quick fixes or only aesthetics. Her coaching approach supports clients in building strength they can feel in everyday life.

Her mission is to help people move well, live fully, and build strength that lasts.
