​

A Holistic Approach to Longevity:

Our Founder, Manuel Cardona

 

My journey to founding Hamaca Fitness is the result of a thirty-year professional commitment to a singular, powerful belief: that physical wellness is the most critical investment you can make for a life of purpose and vitality. This conviction was forged through a deeply personal experience. For a period of my life, I found myself navigating a substance use disorder, and it was during this profound challenge that fitness became my anchor. The process of reconnecting with my body, mind, and spirit provided me with a path to resilience and recovery.

​

That lived experience is the bedrock of the Hamaca Fitness holistic approach. We understand that true, lasting change is a journey of the mind, body, and spirit. As a peer advocate, I have walked the path of struggle and understand that simply giving you a set of instructions to follow blindly won't work. Instead, our methodology is built on the principles of motivational interviewing, a practice that helps you uncover your own reasons for change and find the inner strength to achieve your goals.
