Aqilah Elshabazz Pope – Womens mobility specialist
Hey there! My name is Aqilah, your dedicated fitness and wellness coach. From an early age, I was always passionate about fitness and nutrition. But, like many of us, I developed unhealthy fitness habits during my years as an athlete. From injuries to unhealthy relationships with food, I experienced it all, but I always knew something was missing. The excessive “No pain No gain” mindset simply didn’t seem sustainable. This led me to pursue a degree in Health and Exercise Science and eventually a career as a personal trainer.
As a former Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) champion and martial artist, I love to bring the mindfulness, breath work, and discipline-forming techniques I learned into sessions with my clients. This allows them to form better mind-muscle connections during their sessions, reduces their likelihood of injury, and allows them to have sustainable and long-term results that serve them during and after their time with me.
Whether you’re starting your fitness journey or getting back into things, I’m confident I can help you reach your goals. I am passionate about helping busy 35+-year-old women make time for their health and wellness. In our sessions, we’ll work on developing sustainable nutrition habits, improving your mobility and flexibility, and improving your cardiovascular and muscular endurance.
To help you reach your goals, I offer 1-on-1, semi-private, and online coaching for my clients.
I am dedicated to helping you be here for a good time and a long time. I hope to see you soon!
Hey Badasses, it’s Bree Norton! I am a Del Mar native where I found my passion for strength training at Mira Costa College taking kinesiology classes. Although I didn’t pursue a kinesiology degree, I continued to expand my knowledge in fitness and continuously living a healthy lifestyle.

This year, I am fully committed to helping others achieve their fitness goals and maintaining accountability in the gym. My ultimate goal is to empower individuals to change their minds and bodies through strength training.
My heart lies with putting a smile on my clients face while instructing people how to crush an exercise. I can’t wait to turn you into a badass (if you’re not already) and change your life by accomplishing your fitness goals! If you’re ready to be a badass, please book a consultation below.

My fitness journey started at a very young age when I began playing sports. I really fell in love with soccer. It was playing soccer in college where I was first introduced to lifting weights. Although my college career was short lived due to injuries, it led me to find my passion and love for strength training. Lifting weights has transformed my life, in ways I never thought possible. Not only have I gained physical strength, I have found resilience, dedication, and a love for food.
I LOVE eating; my favorite foods consist of fish tacos, pasta, sushi, enchiladas, y tamales. I grew up in an immigrant Mexican household with delicious flavors and spices. Are these foods always healthy, no, but that does not mean that I eliminate all of these foods from my diet. Instead, I focus on mindful eating. I have spent numerous hours finding clean and quality foods and substitutes that are delicious and fuel my body. I will teach you how to make simple substitutions and additions to your food so that you never feel as if the foods of your culture and childhood are what holds you back from your dream body and life. I love food and I want you to love it too.
As a personal trainer, I specialize in women’s training, functional strength training, mobility, endurance training, sports training, conditioning, nutrition and overall health improvement. I will train your body to be strong, resilient, and help you reach your physique goals; as a Health Coach. When training with me, I will make sure you understand the importance of having a healthy quality of life. I provide personalized workouts and health guidance; I will push you and motivate you daily. Whatever your goals are, we can reach them together!
Emiko Jaffe – Personal Trainer for Active Women over 50
If you’re looking for a female personal trainer who really understands what it means to be Midlife Fit, you’ve found her. I know how important it is to get stronger (while protecting old injuries and preventing new ones), increase stamina (without workouts that leave you feeling sore and exhausted), move with more suppleness (while relieving aches and stiffness), and express on the outside the youthful, vibrant version of YOU that you feel on the inside.
Personal training for Menopausal women
As our bodies and life priorities change in midlife, exercise is no longer a “nice to have”– it’s a necessity to delay–and even reverse–the negative effects of aging which include bone, muscle and strength loss. But one-size-fits-all “busy work” workouts won’t cut it for us when it comes to maintaining and improving our health and fitness. Nope! For that, you need a thoughtfully and strategically designed program, ideally, tailor-made just for you with nutritional, sleep and stress management support.
Personal training for perimenopausal women
Perimenopause can bring a myriad of physical and emotional changes, making it crucial to have a fitness regimen that adapts to your body’s fluctuating needs. My approach focuses on increasing your physical capacity to enjoy your favorite activities, managing stress, and maintaining energy levels so you can stop relying on that second (or fifth!) cup of coffee to get over those mid-afternoon slumps. With smart programming created just for you and supportive coaching, I help you navigate this transitional phase with confidence and vitality.
Personal training for postmenopausal women
- Take fewer rest breaks and see more art when you visit the Louvre on your Paris vacation.
- Enjoy the views and wildlife with your family on a hike and not fall behind on the trail.
- Maintain athleticism in your favorite sport while decreasing your injury risk.
- Slow down the effects of aging (and we’re talking way down) so that you get more life out of your years.

Fate Villas – Personal Trainer in Del Mar
Fate is a former Overall Wellness Champion in the sport of Bodybuilding, yet takes a different approach towards health in what most sees in the bodybuilding/fitness culture today.
She found fitness during a dark time in her life in college. She struggled from depression, insecurities and not having a profound sense of who she was, therefore filling the void with binge drinking, eating and partying it all away.
The gym became her therapy and next thing you know she started seeing the results and transformed to be a whole different person. She grew a passion towards health, fitness and helping others, pursuing not only a career in personal training but also in the sport of bodybuilding. Her journey didn’t stop there however, as she continued to struggle with yoyo dieting trying to figure out what works, injuries, an eating disorder, body dysmorphia, self-hate and fell into an even bigger depression. Despite the odds, she was able to overcome the challenges later to be awarded the title of Overall Wellness Champion in her sport and one of Yahoo Finance’s Top 10 female coaches.
Therefore, whatever you are going through during your fitness journey, Fate is the trainer who will truly understand for she has been there too. As a fellow human, she learned that you shouldn’t give up your life and happiness just to be “fit.” Health and fitness shouldn’t be your life but should add to your life. And once balance has been found, through the alignment of our physical, mental, and internal well being, health becomes the bridge to bring you towards the best version of yourself so that you can thrive in your passions, purpose and life.
She has been a fitness trainer, nutrition and health coach for over 4 years and has worked with clients of all ages and starting points with many different struggles and has seen it all.
She focuses on implementing this balance towards the training and nutrition approach she takes with her clients. All while giving them the results that they need. She understands that life is a priority and therefore will meet you where you are at. She will create an individualized program that will fit your lifestyle while eating the foods you love and finding your own balance so you can not only fall involve with the process, but with the person you will become along the way.
She specializes in helping women of all ages with whatever struggle, from those simply looking to start and find health, lose weight, all the way up to those who’d like to build muscle, look and feel strong, and fulfill their ultimate potential.
