Carmela Andrada, Trainer
Carmela grew up playing sports and never lost that love of being part of a team. After college, she found that same feeling of community and challenge through group fitness — from CrossFit and bootcamps to 8 years at F45, where she spent 4 as a coach!
As a pharmacist, she’s seen firsthand how much movement matters for the body and mind — it can be the best medicine. She’s excited to bring that knowledge and energy into FS8, drawn by its unique blend of Pilates, HIIT, and reformer training. For Carmela, small efforts, shown up for daily, change everything — and she’s here to create a space where every member feels supported and inspired to keep going and become a stronger version of themselves.

Charla began teaching yoga in Rishikesh, India in 2016 before transitioning into fitness in 2024. A former Division 1 Track & Field athlete and Licensed Massage Therapist, she brings a high‑performance mindset and clinical understanding of movement and recovery. Passionate about the FS8 fusion, she believes Pilates and yoga together build strength, confidence, and empowerment through consistency and community.
