Student of the Month Spotlight - Yesenia Arrieta - Kaju Yellow Belt




Yesenia is a ball of energy to be reckoned with at Kaju AZ. She always brings a spirit of excitement to our classes.

Yesenia likes the colors purple, pink and blue and loves Asian and Mediterranean Cuisine. 

Yesenia is a single mom, raising 2 children. Her daughter is 18 and her son Xavier is 11 years old and trains at Kaju AZ also. Being a single mom has been hard, but she has managed to make a wonderful life for her kids. They also have 2 dogs that keep them moving. Yesenia loves her family for all the hope, laughter and strength that they give her when it feels that all is lost.

Yesenia likes training at Kaju AZ because she has found something she really enjoys. At 200 pounds, the doctor told her to lose weight because her stress level was too high. After beginning her training, there were some days she was so sore she could barely move, but the instructors and students gave her the inspiration to keep going.

Yesenia's goals are to lose 30 more pounds and build better cardio. Most of all, she wants to continue creating memories with her family because she knows the teenage years will fly by

Keep up the good work Yesenia! We are so proud to have you in our Ohana!
