Camila Ramón Honored at El Diario’s Mujeres Destacadas 2025

Trainer and presenter Camila Ramón was honored by the newspaper El Diario as one of its Mujeres Destacadas 2025, or Distinguished Women. The initiative by El Diario looks to “honor the paths of those Latinas who, in one way or another, are moving the needle of change and laying the foundations for future generations.”

Ramón told El Diario a little bit about her journey, from working at a public relations agency and representing American companies in Latin America and the Caribbean to being a trainer at Peloton. “I liked the concept of working with Latin America, but I wasn’t happy because I was a person who was always on the move,” she said.

Her late hours also made it impossible to work out, something she made a commitment to change, only to realize she had a negative relationship with her body. “I said ugly things to myself, I was frustrated a lot.” Until one day, after a long run, she had a revelation. “I said, ‘I can’t talk to myself like that,’ and I began to heal my relationship with my body and my being, and since then I began to train to feel good, to be grateful to my body, to be mentally well,”

She took that to Peloton, where she became the corporation’s first Latina trainer and the first instructor to teach classes in both Spanish and English. She’s also renowned for including jokes, reggaeton, Spanish rock, salsa, and other Latin rhythms in her classes, a combination that has made her the self-proclaimed “perreo princess.”

The full list includes 24 Latinas from different sectors, ranging from entrepreneurship, education, justice, activism, health, and others. Among them are Damaris Diaz, a presenter for Univision Noticias 41, Gisele Castro, Executive Director of exalt Youth, Julissa Rodriguez, Diversity Director from the State of New York, Anel Pla, VP of Communications at Somos Community Care, and Talia Castro-Pozo, Director at Talia Productions.
