As a first generation American of Cuban and Puerto Rican immigrants, Herb learned to know and love diverse flavors and delicious food. He also spent most of his childhood as an overweight, out of shape kid with low self esteem.  During his years of struggle for balance in food and fitness with weight gain and weight loss as a young adult, he began a career in the food and beverage industry. Herb Mesa trained for over 15 years under fine European chefs, working at such noted establishments as The Island Club at Williams Island in Aventura, Florida, and Baleen at Grove Isle in Coconut Grove, Florida.

Now as a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition and Wellness Consultant, and having conquered his struggle with finding a healthy, happy, energetic lifestyle, Herb is a master at body transformation and a much sought-after private fitness coach for individuals and groups.  By sharing his love of healthy food and a fit lifestyle with others, Herb has seen the lives he has helped to change, and remains committed to showing others how to achieve their optimal energy level and look and feel their best.
