Heather Mifflin is a NESTA Certified Personal Trainer as well as a Certified Adventure Fitness Trainer.
Heather is a San Diego native who has always been athletic. In school, she spent her time as a swimmer, sprinter and hurdler. It wasn't until later in life that she discovered her true love, distance running. In the past two years Heather has competed in numerous Half and Full Marathons and is now trying her hand at trail running. The next big challenge for her is completing a Half Ironman. We will keep you updated on her progress! Aside from her interest in athletics, Heather is a novice photographer and aspiring painter.
After taking the class herself in Los Angeles, Heather was motivated to start her own Adventure Boot Camp. She loved how the women inspired one other to push themselves further than they had imagined they could, while also having a great time. She wanted to bring that kind of inspiration to the women of her home town. La Jolla Adventure Boot Camp was established in July 2007 and has been growing ever since.
