Cheers to a great 2007… Welcome everyone to my site. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Santana Rodriguez. I am the new host to the fitness segment for the TV show titled “NYCTV Profiles” on the Bloomberg Network in NYC. This is channel 74 and 75 in Manhattan. Each week on the show, I provide a 30 second segment on fitness and nutrition tips. The show is a celebrity one on one show that incorporates both a health as well as a fitness segment. The show airs 9 times a week in NYC and is aired 6 times a week in New Jersey. Please see schedule on home page.

The way I got started was competing in fitness competitions from 12/2001-8/2004. These were not bodybuilding competitions, but rather shows that were looking for body types that were in between swimsuit and fitness types with some muscle tone. I’ve competed in several locking in 6 regional wins and taking the national title of “Miss Team USA Modelquest” through the ABA federation in the years 2003-2004. This opened the door to many opportunities for me. Since then, I’ve been featured in 13 national magazines, 3editiorials, 11 television shows, 3 calendars, 5 radio shows, and a fashion line that made it into 2 stores, one on Melrose and one in Hollywood.

With all of this, I decided to produce my own local television show which consisted of a half-hour of exercise tips titled “Shaping up with Santana”. I had this running for 2 years in LA once a month, and then had it running this year in Staten Island, NY for an 8-week series. While this was running in NY, a production company took notice of my show, and asked me to get involved with their show… which leads us to now … Segment producer and host to fitness tips on “NYCTV” Profiles in NYC. Because I also came in as a co-producer, I’m not only responsible for bringing in advertising, I’m responsible for writing my own scripts for these 30 second segments… I truly love what I do.

Just a brief background about me. I am originally from Buffalo, NY. I’m a mix of Puerto-Rican and Brazilian and am very family-oriented. My family is my rock. Without them, I’d be nothing. My dad suffered from Diabetes type 2 and my mom from cancer. They are fighters, but I feel it’s my duty to spread the word about health and fitness, so that no one goes through what my family did. It’s about disease prevention. Make it a part of your life!
