Blake Leva
"The Blakeinator"
Master Recovery Trainer/RSPS
Founder of SOBERFIT
Blake Leva, better known as “The Blakeinator,” is a powerhouse in the fitness and wellness industry with over 15 years of experience transforming lives.
​
What started as Blake Leva Personal Training over a decade ago has evolved into something much bigger — SOBERFIT, a dynamic fusion of fitness, purpose, and passion.
​
Blake got his start at the legendary Gold’s Gym, where he interned and trained under some of the best in the business.
​
Since then, he’s worn many hats across the industry — from national fitness camps and private gyms to elite clubs like Ridglea Country Club and everywhere in between, including LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, Camp Gladiator, Tate’s Total Training, and more.
​
With certifications from NASM, ISSA, SCW, TRX, Plyoga and New Balance ProCare Fit Specialist, Blake specializes in weight loss, corrective exercise, mobility, and injury prevention.
He’s just as comfortable training a high school athlete chasing a dream as he is guiding a client through post-rehab recovery or chronic pain management.
​
Having undergone his own back surgery, he brings compassion, empathy, and lived experience to his work with clients dealing with physical setbacks.
​
Blake also offers nutrition coaching and meal prep guidance, helping clients fuel their bodies to match their goals.
​
He believes that education is key, and he takes pride in breaking down food science and fitness strategy into real-life tools that clients can actually use.
His deep experience in mental health and addiction recovery led to the creation of SOBERFIT — a mission-driven movement designed to integrate fitness and wellness into the recovery journey.
​
When he’s not changing lives in the gym, Blake is all about faith, family, golf, and growth.
​
A proud girl dad of two and devoted husband, he lives what he teaches — self-care, consistency, accountability, structure, routine and being just 1% better every day.
​
Without fitness and nutrition, there is no Blakeinator. With them, he’s unstoppable.
