Blue Jay Fitness was founded in 2019, by Riva Johnson after overcoming a transformative personal journey. Focusing on supplementing her income to support her family, Riva began by training friends and social media connections who witnessed her accomplishments. It led to the launch of personal and group training fitness classes.
Over four years, She expanded her knowledge through education, courses, conferences, coaching, and personal development. These experiences allowed Riva to address underlying issues and generate countless results for her target audience.

My mission is to help clients confront and unpack their relationship to food and nutrition. I understand how crucial it is to trust the advice you get from a personal trainer; that’s why I stay updated on the best information in the industry and maintain professional certifications, such as the following.
As an ISSA-Certified Nutritionist, I share the science of food with my clients. ISSA training focuses on the why behind eating habits, combining nutritional science with lifestyle and behavior.
While customized to every client, my guidance and advice are informed by the ISSA approach to healthy eating and lifestyle changes that will last a lifetime.
ISSA fitness training includes anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and metabolism to learn the science behind exercise and training.
