We had the good fortune of connecting with Laly Pena and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Laly, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My mission is to help those who are ready for a real and permanent transformation! A complete change to a better life; physically, mentally and emotionally.

Not only I am talking about “losing weight”, 👉🏼but to shift your perception on body weight, fitness, wellness and mindset.
Imagine how it would feel to be FREE of the scale and 👉🏼understand that you don’t need starvation or crazy cardio to be strong, lean and healthy.

Imagine a life where we all work for our wellness in the right way; from mindset to consistent habits and permanent results.

If you are not mastering your fitness and wellness goals, if you are tired of a yo-yo lifestyle and you are CURIOUS about a hidden reason why, then you want to ask me why!
Please do not listen to naysayers (even if they are in your head), there is a way for a better life, for you, your loved ones and the world…

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
