#070 - In this episode of the Townrootz Podcast, hosts Anthony Wilson and Vincent Hayes sit down with Gloria Kamil, the founder of Total Fitness Transformation. Gloria shares her journey of building a thriving fitness business in Oakland, her unique approach to weight management and body image, and how her work helps clients achieve long-term health and emotional balance. Gloria’s expertise as a personal trainer, mat Pilates instructor, weight management and behavior specialist, and mind and body eating coach gives her a holistic approach to helping her clients feel strong, healthy, and confident.

Total Fitness Transformation is a boutique-style fitness studio in Oakland, California, that focuses on empowering women through a combination of personal training, group fitness classes, and mind-body coaching. Gloria's program goes beyond traditional fitness – she helps clients with emotional eating, body image challenges, and sustainable health habits. With over 23 years in the industry, Gloria provides a supportive, safe environment where clients can build strength, release weight (not just lose it), and develop a positive relationship with food and their bodies.

Gloria opens up about how the pandemic motivated her to deepen her work, particularly in supporting the health of the Black and Brown communities. Hear how Gloria reframes “weight loss” as “weight release” – and why that shift matters. Discover the key to sustaining fitness results and why quick fixes don’t work. Learn why body image is a big challenge for women – and how Gloria helps her clients feel strong and confident.
