Our Story

Hello, I am Donna Mendes, owner of Donna Mendes’ Positive Changes.

Positive Changes has been open since 1997 and the reason I started Positive Changes is to give our community a place where someone can come and experience the most current and specialized workout programs in Yoga, Pilates & Cardio without having to travel out of town.

I have over 34 years of experience in the health and fitness industry and I wanted to offer the community of Los Banos an alternative to traditional gyms. I set out to provide a more personal atmosphere between members and trainers that generates positive energy, makes you feel at home and really motivates you to reach your fitness goals.

Atmosphere is everything and I want everyone that walks into my studio to immediately have a good feeling and always look forward to coming back.

Our Mission

Our Mission from the very start has been to provide a safe personalized environment for clients where they get to experience the most current and specialized workout programs without having to travel out of town or having to spend a fortune.
