Malin Svensson, Founder and President of Nordic Body, Inc., and the Nordic Body Academy

Originally from Sweden, Malin Svensson came to Los Angeles in 1989 with a master’s degree in Physical Education and became certified by NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) in 2000. A former nationally ranked runner with over 30 years of experience in the fitness industry, Malin is the CEO & Founder of Nordic Body - a walking and fitness club focused on the 50+ crowd. Whether she works out fitness guru Jane Fonda or people that have never worked out a day in their lives – her mission is the same: to strengthen the body and mind to age with confidence.

As an International Fitness Coach/Author/Speaker, she published her third book “WAKE UP Your Body + Mind After 50!” in 2020. Malin has been featured as a walking and fitness expert in several media outlets like NBC, CBS, LA Times, The NY Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Fitness magazine. She brought Nordic Walking to North America in 2002 and is one of the leading authorities in Nordic Walking worldwide. Her passion for making a difference in people’s wellbeing is further expressed by her organization Adopt-A-Walk. The first 1-mile walking loop opened in Santa Monica on June 29, 2019.

Pamela Bryson DeMetro,  Certified Nordic Body Coach

Pamela became a fitness professional because at age 12 she began an unhealthy cycle of dieting that continued into her adulthood. Sick of being confused and misled by the empty promises of the diet industry, she went searching for the truth. Now she’s on a mission to help women over 50 to break free from the diet culture and dangerous fitness fads, by helping them build a foundation of health and fitness, safely and pain-free, so that they can make the next years of their life the best years of their life. 

Since 2006 Pamela has been a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Fitness Nutrition Coach and continues to sharpen her skills with specialties such as MS Fitness Trainer Specialist, Older Adult Exercise Consultant, and more. She has competed in many half-marathons and even trained her client to achieve his goal of a full marathon for his 60th birthday.  

Pamela enjoys living in Boise, Idaho with her husband and three dogs. "We love the great outdoors and enjoy disc golf, hiking, and camping. We volunteer with Idaho Trails Association building and maintaining wilderness trail systems. See you on the trails! "
