SUDOR TAINO: FITNESS WITH PASSION!
ages, shapes and sizes to accept the ideology of fitness with passion; a passion that is unleashed during a workout but that can be applied to life as a whole. Rodriguez is a certified group fitness
K
and kickboxing instructor with more than sixteen years of experience in helping people find passion in life and fitness. Rodriguez’s passion for fitness started with a work-related injury that contributed to a 45-pound weight gain. This passion later resulted in an addiction to positive energy associated with the beat of the music and hard core exercises. She began to not only teach regular classes but to also conduct fitness and motivational workshops/conferences. Her passion for fitness was later halted by her pregnancy which resulted in another 50-pound weight gain. Making it all worth it, Juleana was born September 8, 2002. Juleana is now 7 years old and shares in her mother’s appreciation of music, dance, and physical fitness. As Rodriguez’s passion continued to rise and the desire to leave her daughter a legacy arose, the concept of Sudor Taino and her authentic clothing line was born. Despite her many health issues, Rodriguez continues to follow her passion, vowing to cast a light that reflects the true core energy of her family, friends, and people that she encounters. Rodriguez holds a B.S. in Business Management and Public Relations from Albertus
Magnus College and is scheduled to graduate from the Public Policy Master’s Degree Program at Trinity College in Hartford this semester. Rodriguez has been a Hartford Police officer since 1995 and has been assigned to the Patrol Division as an officer; the Major Crimes Division, which conducts follow-up the investigations of sexual assaults, robberies, serious assaults, car jackings, and homicides as a detective; as well as the Intelligence Division which conducts dignitary details, corruption cases, and investigations on serious gang and firearm crimes within the City of Hartford. Rodriguez was promoted to the rank of Police Sergeant in May 2009 and assigned to the Patrol Division. Rodriguez then supervised the Street Crimes Unit which is a proactive unit that has jurisdictions over the entire City of Hartford at night. Rodriguez still remains the President of the Association of Women Police. She is a single mother and resides in the Town of Newington. “Everything I do…police work, giving advice to a fellow female officers, the
workshops, the lectures, or even the messages I will put on my merchandise come directly from the inspiration I r e c e iv e f r om individual encounters that I have with people on a daily basis,” states Rodriguez. “It is about the quest to live and not just to exist.”
