Meet Natasha Franco | Fitness Instructor/ Business owner & Surfer

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

Hi Natasha, what are you inspired by?
Im inspired by all the different people I have met in this career of fitness. Im inspired by seeing peoples happiness when they accomplish a fitness goal or even succeed at something they never thought they could even do. Im fueled by the incredible strength we have in ourselves as humans, it’s such a beautiful thing to watch. We are capable of so much and it’s such an honor to be in a field where you get to witness it and be a part of someones progress.

What should our readers know about your business?
Beach Bum Fitness was created to change society’s image of “beauty” and to empower everyone to find and love their unique beauty instead of trying to obtain that “beauty” that many times is un-relatable to many peoples bodies. Here we focus on creating a community to empower and inspire each other to be our best version of ourselves. It has always been a mission of mine to ignite this change but this pandemic made me realize that you don’t have to be in front of someone to make that impact/change. This is why we designed BBF to be available anytime and anywhere in the tip of your hands.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My go to places are not the typical Miami lifestyle you would think. I truly love Miami for its nature and take full advantage of it. We would go to one of my two favorite places to surf. Either South Beach or Haulover Beach Dog park to surf the crystal blue waters we are blessed with. Enjoying cold fresh fruits and beverages under our blazing sun all day till the sun starts to set. Then going to get some refreshing acai bowls at either Under the Mango Tree or Raw South,both have amazing açaí bowls and just the best atmosphere to go to after a beach sesh. Another day we would visit Key Biscayne, paddleboarding through the clear waters and admiring the rich sea life and history that fills it. Miami is so much more than its clubs and party scene if you’re willing to explore.From surfing, paddle boarding, and walking through the old abandoned zoo, Miami has tons of beautiful spots to enjoy. My go to places to eat in miami for a more dinner atmosphere would definitely be CRUST they have the most amazing italian food and service, if not home is where the heart is and making a home cooked meal always makes me happy but i have to have a bottle of saucy lips to go with all my meals. My go to sauces to have those kicks of flavor which is exactly what miami is, full of spice and diversity.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Where do i even start so many people have played a huge roll for me. I don’t ever take for granted the people who have believed in me wether its my friends or family or the people who have taken my classes for years. Im so thankful though specifically to my husband who has always believed in me and has given me support in so many ways that I’m forever grateful for. I’d also love to thank Sensory Fitness for pushing me and believing in me and always pushing me to do better. They both have been such a huge support system for me i don’t know where i would be without them.
