Alex Kosinski – Weight Management & Young Athlete Coach
Hello Everyone! ¡Buenas Damas y Caballeros! (Hablo Español)
If you are looking to transform your body in ways you’ve previously thought impossible, please read on. Many trainers only have studied health & fitness to the highest levels, but few to none have lived it and successfully coached it the way I have. Personally, I have lost 115 lbs and achieved 6 pack abs.
My top client lost 100lbs of body fat and increased his back squat by 100 lbs in one year! I have a passion for changing lives, mentally, physically and spiritually. It brings me great joy to help my clients grow (or shrink!) into the person they want to be.
About me:
I am a former Division 1A College Football Player (Offensive Lineman), having played for and graduated from the University of Arizona. I have over 12 years of personal experience in elite-level fitness & athletic training. I have over 5 years of personal training experience.
I specialize in weight management & young athlete training.
My program is completely customized to your preferences & personal goals. With my nutrition program, the food will do about 2/3rds of the work for you! I teach a clean, healthy lifestyle that first transforms your mind, then your body and finally your spirit.

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!
Austin Camacho – Personal Trainer
Personal Trainer – Hey everyone! My name is Austin! I’ve been training and helping transform minds and bodies with functional training and cardiovascular endurance since 2018! You name it from body building, semi private classes, my group fitness glute boot camps, flexibility and mobility, there is a type of private training modality for you on my team. I became a personal trainer after years of trial and error through my own training and countless hours of studying and research to make sure I could put the same amount of intention and energy into the lives of others. After many years in the industry, I have learned a lot about how to work with individuals on their own terms and meet you where you are at when it comes to weight loss and management. For example, I’ve learned with women how to restore their metabolism to optimal levels through nutrition coaching while being mindful of life stressors and hormonal changes throughout the month to minimize fat gain and maximize fat loss. With men, I’ve learned how to truly enhance muscular growth and strength through optimal training techniques and advanced training methods. While simultaneously guiding them with what and how much to eat to achieve the physique they are looking for. With so much misinformation in the fitness industry and the internet alone I pride myself on being a knowledgeable one stop shop to make sure we cut the confusion and fast track the results without overdoing one area, based on your goals you can expect a great balance in your training whether that means cardio, strength and conditioning, or both! My job is to TEACH you not just TELL you how together we can cultivate lifestyle changes through functional fitness that you can keep for the long haul!
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.
In 2020 I got my ACE certificate to instruct group fitness at F45 Training, and in 2022 I made the transition as a group fitness trainer at Revel Fit Club. 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.

Eli Harned – Personal Trainer in Del Mar
Personal Trainer in Del Mar – Hello Ladies and Gents! I am Eli Harned and my areas of focus are Strength and Conditioning, Bodybuilding, Nutrition, and Personal Growth. Born and raised in the small town of Berea, Kentucky, I decided I wanted to try something new so I joined the Marine Corps and off to California I went! Once I completed my Active Duty service honorably, I ended up staying in Del Mar where I couldn’t be happier. My path to personal training began during my service in the Marine Corps. Those years instilled in me the values of discipline, hard work, and unwavering determination. Little did I know, these qualities would shape my approach to helping others achieve their fitness goals.As my fitness journey originally started around ten years ago, I finally decided to turn my passion for fitness into a career after being in a career where I was miserable and woke up every morning already hoping my shift was over. I decided enough was enough, I was tired of being unhappy so I threw myself into learning everything I could about exercise, nutrition, and overall well-being. My goal was simple: to guide people on their journey to a better body, better mentality, and not only a sense of accomplishment but the results to go along with it! One of the key principles I live by is the “Day One” mentality. I firmly believe that change doesn’t have to wait for a special moment—it can start right now. I encourage everyone to embrace this idea, knowing that small steps lead to significant transformations. In life there are many ebbs and flows in many different aspects. However your body, mind, and soul will always be in YOUR control. Life moves fast so instead of waiting for “One Day” to come, make the choice and let’s get started with “Day One”Through personalized fitness plans, nutritional guidance, and unwavering support, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing countless life transformations. My clients don’t just achieve physical changes; they experience a complete shift in their lifestyles, gaining newfound confidence and resilience.My journey goes beyond one-on-one training sessions. I’m passionate about building a community of like-minded individuals. I organize fitness challenges, workshops, and motivational events to bring people together, creating a shared commitment to health and vitality.Today, in Del Mar, California, I’m living my dream of helping others achieve their fitness goals. From my Marine Corps roots to my role as a personal trainer, I’ve discovered that one person’s journey can inspire many. My mission is simple: to empower individuals to embrace “Day One” and embark on their own transformative journey toward a healthier, more vibrant life.As I continue my journey, I remain committed to my mission of empowering others to lead healthier lives. With every client’s success story from start to finish (there is no finish, this change is for LIFE), I’m reminded that change starts now, and together, we can make every day “Day One” on the path to a better, stronger, and happier you.
Emely Gonzalez – Womens Pre/Post Natal Trainer & Health Coach
Hola mi gente, me llamo Emely. I believe that living a healthy life is an absolute privilege. However, it has not always been easy for me.

I am a NASM certified personal trainer and I have a Bachelor’s degree in Health Science, Community Health Education from California State University, Long Beach. ¡Y entreno en español también!
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!

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 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.

Mark Kern – Experienced in Seniors and Special Populations.
|
– My fitness journey began over 23 years ago in a small training studio in Carmel Valley where I started in the humble front desk position but soon after the owner had me working with some of his clients and also teaching some of the group fitness classes. Still in my final year at UCSD as a Biochem major I thought the job would be temporary until I graduated, but I soon realized I enjoyed working with and helping people more than the thought of working in a laboratory environment.I became certified through the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist and also, within the last few years, obtained my Special Populations Certification focusing on working with seniors, people with chronic illness, as well as stroke and brain injury. My present endeavor is completing my second level of Egoscue training after completing my first earlier this year focusing on postural assessments and therapy to help my clients live a pain free lifestyle.What has kept me in the fitness industry as long as I have been in it is the connections I have made with my clients and the intrinsic reward of knowing that I am a positive reinforcement to their health and well-being.

Mo Ghori – Body Composition Specialist
I have been learning and experimenting with training and nutrition methodologies for 20 years. I have been professionally applying what I have learned for 10. I have the only program in the city that is guaranteed to build muscle and burn fat at the same time, without any cardio, and without counting calories and macros. You will NOT have to eat less calories than you burn. You will NOT have to do 30-60 minutes of cardio multiple times a week, or ever. You will not do extreme workouts that leave you a drenched in sweat, sore for days, or give you achy joints.
My methods have been tested on myself, and clients of all ages, gender, genetics and fitness level.
My program is guaranteed to work. Because it has been tested on males and females of all ages and fitness levels. You will build muscle and burn fat at the same time. You will increase your metabolism, so the fat that you have dropped, does not come back. In fact, as you continue training with these methods, you will keep increasing your metabolism. Which means, by the time all the fat is gone, your results will be permanent. Your body will stay lean and muscular because of the higher metabolism and optimized hormone levels.
My program will be the final solution to the problem of fitness. Once you start working with me, you will never have to worry about gaining body fat or fitting in the dress/swimsuit that you want. You will never have to get ready for a special day. Why? Because we will create a long term and sustainable stimulus that will keep you feeling and looking fit, young and happy.

Shane Dempsey – Adult/Athlete High Performance Training
Having been an athlete all my life, I was always drawn to the weight room and strength and conditioning environments. Fast forward through my early 20s, 3 separate low back injuries requiring pain killers and muscle relaxers to remediate, non-progress in the weight room and I was looking for answers. Enter me hiring my first coach and embarking on my fitness journey. after 3+ years of coaching and testing things on myself; I move differently, look differently and overall FEEL differently. The only way I was able to do this was conscript mentors who pushed me to new heights. Even though you probably don’t want to be a fitness industry worker, my goal for each of my clients is to bring the energy, passion and enthusiasm of the coach that I wish I had when I was younger, and was fortunate enough to have later in life.
So, what exactly is human/athlete high performance training? It is a comprehensive, physiology driven training plan designed to teach you HOW to move through the main movement patterns to start. This doesn’t mean we won’t push intensity and you won’t feel a stimulus in early sections, but exercise selection will be driven through the lens of “How do I get X to master the squat/hinge/lunge/push/pull?”. Everything builds off of this, whether you are a baseball player looking to improve exit velo, a former collegiate athlete looking to get back into (or exceed) the fitness capacity you had in college or a Mom of 3 looking for efficient workouts in a busy schedule, my aim is to meet you where you are at, set concrete goals based on what you want to achieve and then I figure out the roadmap from there. I incorporate general strength training, plyometrics, mobility drills, energy systems (cardio) development, and safe power development (this stays important regardless of age) to name a few. I analyze the situation at hand, and look through my toolbox to find the right tool for the job.
A little bit more about me – I started my Strength and Conditioning career at Dartmouth College interning in the varsity weight room while acting as Director of High Performance and interim Head Coach for the Men’s rugby team. From there I moved down to Boston to work at Flight Performance and Fitness, where I had the incredible pleasure to learn from 2 of the best mentors on the east coast while working with clients/athletes ranging from 11 YOs playing hockey, D1 Baseball players, USA Rugby and Hockey national team players, 50 year old dads and 78 year olds just trying to move well. In that time I acquired my NSCA – CSCS and CPT while amassing over 10,000 hours of coaching and floor time. This experience has proved invaluable in giving me a unique lens to look at human movement, address issues and maximize strengths.
All of this to say, the principles I operate on stay the same:
1. Meet the client where they are at and look to establish foundational movement skills or build upon an already solid foundation. This approach creates strength and resiliency through all of the movement patterns in a sound, pain free way.
2. They don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
–> My aim is not to bore you with scientific knowledge or wow you with information about glycolytic energy pathways (if you want to go down the rabbit hole I am MORE than happy to oblige), but in reality it is to help you see the fitness industry and the way you move differently. High touch point relationships will be built, in these I will look to understand what makes you tick, what your schedule and stressors are like and how I can be of best service to you in creating the most robust and resilient human possible.
3. Not just talking the talk, but walking the walk – Just about ANYTHING I program to a client (there are very few exceptions to this) I have tested or done myself. This allows me to relate to the feelings and sensations that movements and different types of energy system programming can have on the individual.
4. Big rocks first, then we can major in the minors – I aim to help you NAIL the big rocks of fitness, nutrition, and some holistic health tools. After we have mastered the basics of consistency, adherence, protein consumption and some breathwork tools then we will take a deeper dive into more nuanced conversations. In my experience I have found the majority of people can clean up their gym, nutrition and overall well being by just nailing the fundamentals of high performance.
I am also a certified Nutrition Coach through Dr. Layne Norton’s “BioLayne” nutrition course. He is evidenced based and research focused – Nutrition coaching with me is about mastering the big rocks of protein intake, nutrient balance, sleep and hydration.
If you are looking not just for a training experience but for skills, tools and knowledge to guide your decision making in the realms of fitness + nutrition, shoot me a message and let’s see if we’re a good fit together.

Wiam Yaldo – Personal Trainer in Del Mar
Personal Trainer in Delmar – As a dedicated Personal Trainer in Delmar, I’ve immersed myself in the fitness industry for over 7 years, driven by a deeply personal transformation. My journey began during high school when I embarked on a weightlifting regimen to conquer my own struggles with excess weight, cardiovascular limitations, and a profound dissatisfaction with my appearance. Through hard work and perseverance, I not only shed pounds but also unearthed newfound confidence and boundless energy that transformed my entire outlook.
Having experienced the profound impact of fitness firsthand, I’ve made it my mission to share this life-altering potential with the world. I empathize with those navigating similar challenges, and I’m committed to helping them reclaim their lives and discover the same positive vitality that propelled me forward.
To fortify my knowledge and expertise, I delved into the intricate workings of the human body. This led me to pursue a rigorous education in biology, culminating in a Bachelor of Science degree from Oakland University in Rochester, MI. Driven by an insatiable thirst for understanding, I subsequently earned my Master of Science in exercise science at the same institution. My dedication to excellence is exemplified by my certifications, including personal training, performance enhancement, corrective exercise specialization, and MMA conditioning from the esteemed National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
My professional journey has been further enriched by hands-on experience working with diverse clients grappling with various ailments, ranging from herniated discs to hip and knee replacements, even heart failure. My expertise extends to three main focal points: weight loss, bodybuilding, and powerlifting. Crafting tailored exercise programs is my hallmark, a personalized approach where I meticulously tailor each regimen to suit the unique needs and aspirations of every individual under my guidance.
In my role as a Personal Trainer, I’m not just a fitness instructor, but a steadfast ally in the transformative journey towards a healthier and more fulfilling life. My passion, honed skills, and empathetic approach converge to empower my clients, helping them overcome obstacles, exceed their goals, and embrace the boundless benefits of embracing fitness. Together, we embark on a path of self-discovery, resilience, and unwavering commitment to personal well-being.
With every client, I forge a partnership grounded in understanding and trust, enabling us to navigate challenges together and celebrate triumphs as a team. I firmly believe that physical well-being is a cornerstone of a joyful life, and I’m dedicated to instilling that belief in each individual I have the privilege to guide. Through personalized attention, unwavering encouragement, and a wealth of scientific knowledge, I’m committed to making a profound impact on lives, one transformative workout at a time.
