Meet the SOBERFIT Team
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.
​
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.
​
He holds many certifications--NASM, ISSA, and more. 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. ​
​
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.
Trier Leva
"Lady Blakeinator"
Exective Director
As the Executive Director and wife of "The Blakeinator" I bring both professional leadership and deeply personal insight to the work I do.
My perspective has been shaped by walking alongside my husband through addiction and recovery over the last 10 years. That journey taught me firsthand how to love someone in the middle of struggle-- the uncertainty, the resilience required and the hope for healing through God.
​
Because of this experience, I lead with empathy, clarity and compassion. I understand the emotional weight families carry, the complexity of addiction, and the strength it takes to navigate recovery together.
My work is driven by a commitment to authenticity, accountability and creating spaces where people feel seen, supported and empowered to move forward.
​
Outside of my professional role, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and our beautiful baby Bella, trying new restaurants, being outdoors when the weather is warm and winding down with a good movie. These moments ground me and remind me of the importance of connection, balance and presence.
