From the age of four, Ramona became involved in sports. A competitive career
in gymnastics in highschool led to dance, which led to a career as a cheerleader
in Los Angeles for the then N.F.L LA Raiders where she won numerous awards
including “Raiderette of the Year.” After a decade of professional cheerleading,
she served as one of the Raiders’ Choreographers and as Dance Director for the
NFL Europe League before competing as a professional fitness athlete. Instantly

have perfect technique while working out, to take care of their bodies through
proper nutrition, proper rest, moderation and above all, keeping things fun while
maintaining excellence. “For me being fit must become a lifestyle its not just
about doing it for a Hollywood body , Do it for you!”
