Freddy Sandoval
Voted best personal trainer in Albuquerque, 2022 & 2024
Being an athlete who grew up in ABQ helped lead Sandoval to a career in fitness and training. “I was always competitive with sports. I played baseball and I wrestled in high school,” says Sandoval. “But I also got into trouble, and so with combat sports, I kind of picked that up on the streets.”
About Freddy Sandoval
He began competing in mixed martial arts in 2005, and soon started coaching. These days, he leads hardcore classes in MMA, Cardio Kickboxing, HIIT, Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, and Kettlebell training at Legion Iron Gym. A no-nonsense, 24/7 gym in East Downtown. But says he gets just as much joy in working with non-athletes who are just looking to get healthier, or kids who could benefit from good fitness habits. “I have kids of my own now, and I just want to teach them to live healthy lives and be disciplined and confident in what they’re doing,” says Sandoval. “When my clients start fitting in clothes that used to be tight, how much better do they feel? That’s what makes my job rewarding.”
