Leslie Maltz, N.A.S.M., N.F.P.T., LMT

Leslie Maltz, a 24-year resident of Los Angeles and a 19-year resident of the San Fernando Valley, brings you her expertise in the field of fitness, outdoor sports, and Israeli military-style drill sergeant techniques to Backyard Bootcamp. Raised in a small, rural farming community in Ohio, Leslie's work ethic and integrity make this workout T-O-U-G-H! You won't get away with being late, whining simply isn't an option, and don't even think about complaining!

Leslie has been in the fitness industry for over 10 years. In 1996, Leslie began training in Krav Maga, the Israeli fighting system, brought to the United States by Darren Levine, the highest ranked Krav Maga instructor in the United States as well as a Deputy District Attorney for the County of Los Angeles. Leslie studied under Darren Levine's instruction for several years and remains a loyal advocate of the Krav Maga system. In addition to teaching at Krav Maga, Leslie was also instrumental in the development of the KM Kids program, its curriculum and belt system.

After obtaining her Krav Maga Instructor Certification, Leslie continued to receive certifications in kickboxing, aerobics and fitness training through AFAA, N.F.P.T. and N.A.S.M., with a specialty in corrective training, core stabilization, balance and strength training for athletes. In addition to her many personal training certifications, Leslie has studied life coaching at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur and offers gentle life coaching to her clients to help them overcome obstacles blocking her students' progress.

In 2000, Leslie began competing in triathlons. She competed in numerous sprint and Olympic triathlons and completed the Ralph's Half Ironman race in San Diego in 2003.
