Alex Kosinski – Personal Training Coach in Del Mar
Hello Everyone! ¡Buenas Damas y Caballeros!
If you are looking to transform your body in ways you’ve previously thought impossible, please read on. Many trainers 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, working well with people of all ages, sizes, schedules and goals.
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 – 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.

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.

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.

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.

Wherever you are in your journey and whatever it is you are trying to accomplish, if you are ready to change yourself and your life, book a consultation with Fate and she will help you overcome your struggles so that you can transform inside and out.
Jack Baker – Del Mar Fitness Trainer
Del Mar Fitness Trainer – I’m Jack Baker, and I’m now based in San Diego, offering personal training at Self Made Training Facility in Del Mar. My goal is to empower you to live your best life. I dedicate myself to training individuals, leveraging my certifications from the National Federation of Professional Trainers, ongoing progress in muscle activation techniques, and postural restoration. My motivation stems from personal experiences of discomfort and limited progress in the gym. I am driven to empower others by facilitating muscle activation across various ranges of motion, yielding immediate and tangible results. My expertise lies in functional movement, fostering muscle growth, and addressing persistent injuries. Contrary to being a conventional strength and conditioning coach, my focus is on rectifying bodily imbalances and discomfort. I’ve successfully assisted numerous clients who initially believed they suffered from issues like quadriceps or patella tendon pain, as well as ligament tears. In many cases, the root cause turns out to be misaligned pelvic orientation. Through targeted techniques involving breathing and muscle activation, I guide individuals toward realigning their bodies, enabling them to embrace their optimal lives. Drawing from a lifelong athletic background, including 9 years in baseball, 10 years in soccer, 8 years of surfing, and 7 years of beach/indoor volleyball, my journey into lifting and training others began when I confronted a left AIC right BC pattern while preparing for high-level beach volleyball over a two-year period. This pattern emerges when the left hemi-pelvis tilts forward, causing an anteriorly rotated pelvis due to an overactive chain of muscles called the Anterior Interior Chain. This adjustment impacts the orientation of the entire pelvis, including the sacrum and lower spine, creating a compensatory trunk rotation to maintain a forward-facing posture. After a challenging two years, I successfully transitioned away from this internally rotated and closed down right side, as well as the externally rotated and opened up left side. This transformation was achieved through a comprehensive approach involving neurological, psychological, breathing, strength, and muscle activation techniques. My mission revolves around equipping you with the essential knowledge and tools for optimizing muscle growth and preventing injuries. My training philosophy prioritizes the effectiveness and precise execution of exercises, coupled with intensity and proper progression.

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.
https://personaltrainersandiego.com/about/meet-john/portfolio/
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.

During my college career I received All-ACC and All-American honors while captaining the team for my Junior and Senior seasons. After graduating, I played soccer professionally for Charlotte FC and Charleston Battery. My athletic career allowed me to train under and learn from some of the top performance coaches in the United States, providing me with many years of experience and knowledge that I will use to get you the best results. I know firsthand what it takes to get your body performing at its peak and am eager to help you along that path.
Whether you’re an athlete who wants to improve their performance or someone who wants to transform their body, I am confident I can help you along the way. This journey is not one I will send you on alone, it’s one we will take together, and we can make it further than you could have ever imagined.
Leah Hasapes – NASM Certified Fitness, Nutrition and Wellness
| I am a nutrition and wellness consultant who has always had a passion for fitness. Native to Southern California, I was born in Los Angeles, eventually making my way to San Diego to attend the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), where I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree. Early on in my studies I made some necessary changes to my nutrition and motivated by the results I started to see, it fueled my confidence to join a fitness facility. I immediately discovered I loved the way exercise made me feel. I was more positive after a demanding workout. I had more energy. My sleep quality improved. Aesthetically, I liked what I saw in the mirror. My confidence increased. My mental health was improved. It was so empowering being able to control the way I looked and felt through diet and exercise and in turn I wanted to also help others feel empowered to make the changes they desired. This drive prompted me to take the necessary steps to become certified as a fitness trainer, and I never looked back. I have an incredibly dynamic background as a fitness trainer with over twenty years of full-time clinical experience. I have worked with men, women, children, teens and adults aged eight years old to ninety. I can train pre-natal women to term and post-natal as well. I can train bodybuilders and pro athletes. I can rehab clients through injuries and I can work with those looking to lose weight, accumulating a track record of clients with over fifty pounds of weight loss! I began building my fitness experience at 24 Hr Fitness UTC La Jolla, where I trained for five years after which I then advanced on to the Bay Club Carmel Valley (formerly Pacific Athletic Club PAC, a high end 15,000 sq ft sports facility with a 50,000 member base located in the Del Mar area), training there for eight years. After obtaining enough knowledge and perfecting the art of trainer/client bedside manner, I felt ready to transition on to training independently and continue to do so up until the present day. I am now proud to be part of the Self Made family in Del Mar, a high end independent fitness facility with a quality network of trainers. I am certified through the reputable National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), and additionally certified as a Sports Performance Specialist (PES) and Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES) obtained through the same school. I am also a Level 1 Functional Movement Screen (FMS) Instructor and a Level 1 Balanced Bodies Pilates Instructor. My specialties in Corrective Exercise (Rehabilitation) and Functional Movement foster work with special populations recovering from neck, shoulder, back, hip, knee and ankle injuries. Additionally, I can instruct clients in the proper techniques that will enable efficient movement producing maximal results with minimal injury. My expertise will allow you to get you the results you want, when you want, all while reducing the risk of injury. With my background in Sports Performance I can train athletes of all ages in any sport, both men and women. Having played sports myself, I know what it takes to train a successful athlete. I played Varsity Volleyball, Basketball and Softball in High School. As a softball player, I was an aggressive center fielder with incredible speed and agility. I could throw a softball down the line from center field to home plate all while under extreme pressure, which ultimately led to being scouted to play in college. I was a cheerleading captain and I also have a dance background. I am a hiking, biking and running aficionado with 13 ½ marathons under my belt. I am a competitive NPC bikini bodybuilder with ten years of experience in the sport. I am a five time bikini bodybuilding champion and a six time national qualifier. In addition to experience in these sports I have trained pro golfers, pro skiers and helped clients PR (Personal Record) on their marathons. With these qualifications I believe I have the proper skill set to take you to the next level in your sport. Let me be the one to help coach you on your journey to reach your personal best. My experience as a bikini bodybuilder gives me the ability to train both men and women not only to be competition ready on the stage, but off the stage as well. In addition to helping you prepare to show off your hard work on long summer days at the beach in the sun, with my background in nutrition through the sport, I can provide knowledge on food prep, enabling you to continue seeing results on your own. I will help men feel more confident shirtless and women feel more confident in their favorite bikinis. The summer months are not too distant and that means beach season, so come get beach ready with me! Lastly and most importantly, I want to bring to light how important it is now more than ever to make health and wellness a priority. In the US heart disease is the number one cause of death and the most preventable chronic illness. Investing in a health and wellness program will help reverse these dire trends. You just can’t afford not to, your quality of life depends on it. Choose me to be your health advocate, I will do everything in my power to help you achieve success on your fitness journey. That’s a promise.Book a consultation today by entering your information below and let’s get started with your in person or online training program.

Mark Kern – Personal Trainer in Del Mar
Personal Trainer in Del Mar – 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.
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. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, gain muscle, or simply feel better about yourself, I am dedicated to providing the support, guidance, and motivation you need to reach your goals. With my expertise, passion, and personalized approach to training, I am confident that I can help you achieve the results you’ve always wanted.
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.

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.

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.
