Sumati Cruz

Sumati was born and raised in Southern California where she lived along the most beautiful beaches in the world. As an adult, she lived in Santa Cruz where she raised three beautiful children and 3 amazing grandchildren. Sumati has always been a fitness enthusiast which led her to obtain her Personal Training Certification as well as Nutrition Certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). She founded Sumati Cruz Fitness where she trained clients privately in their homes as well as her home gym in Torrance, CA. Sumati sustains mostly plant based-diet and also enjoys outdoor activities. Whether it’s exercising at the beach, swimming in the ocean, or hiking in the mountains, you will always find her wanting to explore new activities that bring her closer to nature.

During the pandemic, Sumati found her love with Yoga as a place for spirituality, solitude and self-reflection. In December of 2020, Sumati relocated to New Jersey where she joined Onyx Yoga and fell in love with the people and the studio. She will complete her 200-hour training in May 2023 and hopes to continue her study teaching other students
