THE MISSION

The STGF mission derives wholeheartedly from Karla Medina, the owner of Sudor Taino Group Fitness who ventured into the fitness industry after weight struggles with a fresh philosophy - “Fitness & Life with Passion”.  She never fit into any particular mold in fitness and able to use her personal story to fuel her passion for fitness.  She was able to combine her years of training and experience with the different genres of fitness, exercises and music which then organically emerged into an overall innovative approach to faith and fitness.   Over the years, it became apparent that she was being called to pioneer a spirit, mind and body approach centered around our Divine Creator.  Her goal is to use her story, passion, God-given gifts and love for Jesus to showcase  faith and fitness on both small and large platforms.  This makes Sudor Taino (STGF) a completely authentic inclusive culture as we love all.  We believe that training hard and caring for our bodies harder paying homage to God for our spirit, mind and body health creates an experience.

Furthermore, our name is different, just as we are.  It derives from the word “sweat” in Spanish and offers honor to my ancestors, the Taino Indian Tribe for cultivating the island Puerto Rico.  The connection is simple, Sudor Taino helps cultivate its tribe.  Through my very own struggles, failures and triumphs I have seen how self-limiting beliefs, negative cycles, low self- esteem and the lack of motivation can be crushed by a safe space and community.  Our studio floors have been blessed to see many people conquer a spirit, mind and body transparency and be transformed from the inside-out.
