Focus on Fitness with Dee Ragin

About Us

Dee Ragin
Founder and President

Dee Ragin started out many miles away from where she is today. Obese, 19 years old, and living in LA, she made an active and conscious decision to change her lifestyle—and her life. On her own, Dee studied and met experts in the fields of nutrition, wellness, and fitness. She learned about discipline and commitment.
Today, as the Founder and President of Focus on Fitness, Dee helps people at all health and fitness levels to take charge and meet their goals, just like she did. Dee is a personal trainer, nutrition counselor, and teacher of group fitness classes including Yoga, Pilates, Step, and Cardio Sculpting. She holds certifications through American Fitness Professionals Association (AFPA), National Exercise & Sports Training Association (NESTA), Fitour, Les Mills Body Pump, and Body Training Systems (BTS). Dee is always in training to run an upcoming marathon or add another certification to her resume.

Dee considers it her life’s passion to show others how to live healthy, happy, active lives. Her approach to wellness as a multi-faceted discipline has not only motivated her to be diverse in the service she personally offers, but it has also inspired her to build Focus on Fitness as a wholistic health practice.
