Aqilah Elshabazz Pope – Dedicated Fitness & Wellness Coach
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!

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.

John TURK – Personal Trainer in Del Mar
Personal Trainer in Del Mar –
At the age of 62, with over 30 years of experience in the fitness industry, I am a dedicated personal trainer who thrives on helping individuals lead healthier lives. Prior to becoming a fitness specialist, I received my bachelors of science degree from Illinois State University in Exercise Science with a minor in nutrition. I currently hold Certifications in the NSCA (CSCS) the NASM as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and the Grey Institute with a Certification in Applied Functional Science.
My journey began when I was a young athlete, striving to improve my skills in wrestling and football. Over the years, I’ve not only competed in numerous bodybuilding contests but also earned the prestigious title of Collegiate Mr. Illinois, Third place in the Collegiate Mr. America and Mr. Midwest of police and Fire. In addition to my athletic accomplishments, I’ve made a name for myself in the fitness industry, not only as a personal trainer but also as a renowned fitness model. My physique has graced the covers of leading magazines such as Muscle & Fitness, Physical, and Planet Muscle. To see some of these images, visit my portfolio page on my website in the about section.

Beyond my fitness career, I served as a dedicated police officer for a decade in the Chicago area. During my tenure, I assumed the role of fitness instructor for the police department, training officers to excel in their quarterly fitness exams and the rigorous testing for new recruits. I was also an avid martial artist and obtained a black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do. I was asked to audition for a fighting game in the early 1990’s called Mortal Kombat. I was eventually cast as the characters, Sub Zero, unmasked Sub Zero and Scorpion as well as all the ninja’s.
What often goes unnoticed is my personal battle with an eating disorder, which developed due to the extreme dietary demands of my professional fitness lifestyle. I struggled with binge eating, a powerful adversary that continues to challenge me to this day. However, I’ve developed effective strategies to manage this condition. There were times when I would consume an entire box of a dozen “Dove bars” in a single sitting or find myself overindulging at all-you-can-eat buffet-style restaurants, with Las Vegas being a particularly challenging environment. I would leave these experiences feeling defeated and depressed. To counteract this, I would embark on intense, hours-long workouts in the hotel gym to offset my excessive food consumption. This cycle was not only emotionally draining but also potentially life-threatening.
So, when I say, “I understand,” I truly do. If you’re seeking guidance on fitness, overcoming binge eating, or maintaining a balanced lifestyle, I’m here to help. Together, we can work towards achieving your health and fitness goals, so you can live a happier and healthier life.
Marisol Pelayo – NASM Personal Trainer Del Mar
Hey there! My name is Marisol, I am a proud mom of a teenager. My passion for fitness started about 10 years ago. I found exercise and the gym as the perfect outlet through life, and later realized the many benefits it truly provides.
My mission as as trainer is to have you realize that as well! To teach and guide YOU through your journey, to keep you motivated in reaching your fitness goals to being your strongest baddest self, inside and out. Whether it’s weight loss, or strength training for muscle growth, I believe everyone can benefit from exercise both physical, and mental.
My love for fitness and strength training not only came after seeing the physical results, but from the confidence and mental strength gained that I was able to apply to many other areas of my life throughout the years. I truly believe in helping others live their most confident life, helping my clients get in the best of shape, all while having fun in a judgement-free environment.
You can achieve anything you set your mind to with patience, will power, and determination. I CAN AND I WILL is my motto.

Matias Kalmar – Personal Trainer in Del Mar
Growing up in Argentina, I never placed much emphasis on fitness and health. However, when I moved to the United States, I realized the impact that a healthy lifestyle could have on one’s quality of life. Motivated by my own transformation, I decided to become a personal trainer and help others achieve their fitness goals.
With 8 years of personal fitness experience and 4 years as a certified personal trainer, I have developed a deep understanding of how to effectively adapt fitness plans to suit individual lifestyles, habits, and busy schedules. My area of expertise lies in bodybuilding including contest preparation, weight loss and fat loss, muscle toning, body re-composition, and muscle gain, as well as adapting those said goals not just to private sessions, but to semi-private sessions, small group sessions, and bootcamps.
In addition to my work with individual clients, I have also gained experience as a sport performance coach, working with high school athletes to help them reach their full potential. My hands-on approach to training and commitment to helping my clients succeed sets me apart as a trainer.
My mission as a personal trainer is to help people improve their quality of life through health and fitness.

Mikayla Thoits – ISSA Personal Trainer in Del Mar
I’m Mikayla Thoits, a 20 year old personal trainer from Santa Barbara. I moved down to San Diego this past year in hopes to start my own personal training business. I started playing sports at age 4 and my passion for movement and health has only progressed since. I have always been very athletic and competitive in the best way. My love for sports starting at a young age made me realize how important exercise and nutrition is. It excited me to learn new things that could help me mentally and physically.
I always had the idea that I was going to college to play soccer and major in kinesiology and sports medicine until covid happened. Therefore my whole entire plan shifted. While training during the summer to be prepared for my college soccer season, I fell in love with personal training. My mom being a personal trainer herself really inspired me to follow in her footsteps, which led me to not take the traditional route that I was supposed to and start my new path. Having my mom and many other mentors in my life that are all involved in the fitness space made me even more driven and inspired to follow this dream of mine and turn it into something.
What I love to focus on in training sessions are strength and functional mobility training. When being new to the gym I feel functional mobility is key to focus on to get clients comfortable with the whole training process and their body movement. I also am very knowledgeable with strength training, being an athlete my whole life, and wanting to build more muscle so clients feel stronger and more confident in their own bodies.
I have been a personal trainer since September of 2022, I have trained friends and clients my mom could not fit in her schedule and have heard all good feedback. I may not have a lot of experience with clients yet, but that doesn’t mean I am not knowledgeable in what I do, and am always wanting to learn more to incorporate into my business.
Mo Ghori – Personal Trainer in Del Mar, CA
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.
