POUND’s Events Manager
Em (or EmVP to most) rocks out from Queens, NY, bringing badass energy and passion to every class and training she leads. Originally certified as a POUND Pro in 2017 and later becoming an ICON in the Philippines, she’s been making noise in the U.S. since moving in 2021. EmVP transforms every class into a rock concert, complete with head-banging, laughter, and the occasional impromptu sing-along. Her approach? Unleash your inner rockstar and leave it all on the mat.
Join EmVP for a POUND Training session and experience firsthand what it’s like to rock, sweat, and leave feeling like an absolute legend.
What’s one word or phrase that perfectly sums up your energy?
EmVP Energy! Haha! That means not being afraid to take space, being unapologetically authentic, and sprinkling love and kindness like confetti!
What’s your secret weapon for building confidence in your students?
I let them know how awesome and amazing I think they are because it’s true. Sometimes, people need to hear it! People need to know you think they’re badass, people need to hear you are proud of them.
If your life had a theme song, what would it be?
WOKE UP by XG. Look it up. You’re welcome!
What is a quote that you live by?
“Life always works out” ~ because it always does. You can never get it wrong and it is never done! Life always works out. HOW COMFORTING IS THAAAAT?
