Movement Specialist Personal Trainer And Volleyball Base Skills Coach
About
Cindy Feltman Angulo, a native Hoosier and ASU graduate student who has always been into fitness from an early age. She overcame being overweight & insecure in childhood to become one of America's most experienced professional trainers and athletes today with more than 20 national certifications! She has been a personal trainer and group exercise instructor for more than 25 years, and worked extensively in Arizona’s most exclusive health clubs, the Villages Health and Spa. When she is not working, you can find her exploring new adventures with her kids or coaching Club Volleyball.
Cindy’s story is one of resilience and courage. She found the strength and knowledge to overcome her obesity and multiple overuse injuries along the way, even when it seemed like she wouldn't be able too--her dedication paid off with an increased passion for fitness that led Cindy down a path towards winning various bodybuilding and fitness competitions at all levels including national ones! She even overcame a low back injury and surgery which led to her creation of the FX BOOM fitness System. Traditional body building routines using DBs and machine along with various group exercise formats such as step, boxing, bootcamp, and CrossFit led Cindy to a thinner body, but an very unbalanced body with overuse injuries and daily pain. Now considering she is educated, what must it be like for those that are not educated??? She saw an opportunity to create a corrective core training system that activates muscles that people do not realize they are missing while they do some of the traditional and popular training methods today. Today Cindy is in the “best shape of her Life” and is able to inspire and teach others to do the same.
Cindy also has developed a FX BOOM Fitness Rig that can be set up in a gym, an office, or even your home in the garage, bedroom, or porch area. The FX BOOM Fitness Rig is designed to provide users with a safe and secure training environment that can be customized to their specific needs. The rig is made from a sturdy steel construction and features various attachment points to vary height and location of attachment needed in respect to the body’s orientation to accommodate different training modalities. The rig is also great for those looking to add a more dynamic 3 dimensional element to their workout as the rig can be used with various resistance tools such as TRX bands, weights, cables, and aerial silks. The FX BOOM Fitness Rig is an excellent addition to any home or commercial gym and is sure to provide a customized unique and challenging workout experience.
Another unique tool and patented technology that Cindy has created out of necessity while working with individuals with limitations and injuries is the revolutionary Traxx Health Trainer. This unique double dolly device is perfect way to get a full-body workout in the comfort of your own home, office, gym or park. This health trainer is light and portable and can be assembled in less than 5 minutes, making it the ideal choice for busy individuals. The stable and non slip dollies slides along a track that can be anchored to a door or heavy object, and it has variable settings administered by resistance bands that can be configured multiple ways. With the Traxx Health Trainer you can perform traditional exercises using dumbbells, cables, and more, as well as Pilates reformer-like exercises and ground reaction training drills. It is perfect for core, glutes, and lateral training, warming up for sports as well as yoga and flexibility training. Not to mention, it is great for all ages and easy to learn and use.
Cindy in her free time, is a coach and trainer who has been working for 25 years. She's also found success as an instructor in volleyball, with the ability to teach beginners starting from “this is a volleyball” to picking apart people’s weaknesses while building them up into stronger programs that focus on those needs perfectly!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Meeting and first 15 min to determine level of knowledge and skill, and determining goals and timeline. Starting with hand position and how to pass with a wall so practice can be done on own to speed the process of learning. Moving into setting and base underhand serve mechanics.
If more advanced, I will determine mechanic issues in any of the major skills such as passing, setting, serving, blocking, or hitting.

Depends on location and time needed. Ranges $20-80 per session if group or solo and 30-60 min.
How did you get started teaching?
I had a daughter who wanted to play and I started by coaching her team. I had a childhood background playing as an elite level player in Indiana. When I started coaching, I started winning and my team grew into multiple teams because of my coaching style and effectiveness.
What types of students have you worked with?
From first time volleyball 6 year olds to pro volleyball and collegiate level players. I tend to do best in the beginner to intermediate ranges in base skill development and foundation building (my training background kicks in) while instilling a positive volleyball experience that is serious yet fun. Older players I'm best at body mechanic analysis for injury prevention or performance enhancement such as jump training and upper body power.
