Aalijah David – Specialized Personal Trainer
Specialized Personal Trainer – I started very young with a passion for athletics, competing in Muay Thai and MMA. This led to a passion in other sports like football and wrestling. I found myself adopting several characteristics from playing sports my whole life, such as discipline and the hard work grind mentality. I have always been one to push myself as far as I can, and once I adopted my passion in training, I truly embedded myself in this trait. After having a season ending injury in football, I automatically shifted my focus to fitness training and personal training. At the young age of 17, I began personal training. With 7 1/2 years of experience at 24 years old, I have truly pushed myself to become the best version of myself that I can be. While training people full time, I managed to obtain a Bachelors of Science in Exercise Physiology, a Masters of Science in Advanced Exercise Science, and I will be continuing education August of 2024 in hopes of obtaining a Doctorate in Exercise Science. I have the sponge mentality, and I enjoy learning from others in the industry, staying on top of the new finds in exercise science, and developing connections with my clients. I have a huge passion in body building and crafting myself physically, mentally, and emotionally in the gym. All of the concepts I have learned throughout my educational career I apply to myself in my sessions, and figure out creative ways that I can translate them to my personal training clients to benefit them in the best way possible. I have always had wonderful role models in sports and fitness growing up, and my goal is to be that person for all of my clients as well. One of those role models being my father, who I lost at a young age. This created a spark in me that has pushed me to where I am today. The effort that I put in within the fitness industry is not only to create better opportunities for myself, but create better versions of every client that I come in contact with. I not only target the goals of the clientele, but the needs as well! There should be nothing neglected to create the image that my client strives to obtain, and my job is to provide the tools for my client to do so.
I offer the all around experience to my clients. I know that it may be a hard road to follow and adhere to, but I relate because I have been through the journey myself. I have gained weight, and lost 60-80 LBS. I do this to show that it is possible to get to where you want to be, and I am here as your co-pilot. Let’s take this fitness journey together!

Norelle Dry – Body Recomposition, Strength and Conditioning Coach
Norelle Dry – Body Recomposition, Strength and Conditioning Coach
Hey there! I’m Norelle, an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritionist. I grew up playing sports including gymnastics, cheerleading, dancing, soccer, and swimming, but truly found a love for fitness during my third year of university after escaping an abusive relationship. I struggled with my weight and mental health for years and with the help of strength training, body building, and different forms of therapy, I was able to learn tools to slowly fight my insecurities and depression. In 2016, the gym became my solace, my safe space. I was able to find myself, my confidence, and become stronger mentally and physically after reaching what felt like rock bottom.
After graduating college, I decided to join the military as a Navy Hospital Corpsman, which in itself was a journey and learning experience on its own. There, I learned a lot about the human body and how it works among other medical curriculum. At my first unit became the assistant command fitness leader where I helped my peers maintain physical readiness as well as helped others get back on track when not meeting military fitness standards. After having knee surgery and going through physical therapy in 2020, I decided to learn more about being a personal trainer and in 2021, I got certified. I realized just how important movement and physical health was to me and those around me so I felt inspired to help others on their own journey, whether it be someone just starting out or someone needing a push to the next level. Fast forward, I’ve been certified for almost 3 years and counting and have helped clients of all ages with different struggles and have helped them find their own strategies to improve their lifestyles, their outlook on fitness and health and achieve results.
I became a fitness coach because I seen this as my opportunity to help those who may similarly struggle with fitness and body image. My goal is to help transform your lifestyle and become stronger and more confident in your body by improving your relationship with movement, food, and your mind. Provided will be your very own personalized program and nutritional guidance tailored to your goals as well as mindset coaching to help keep you on track despite any obstacles throughout your journey.
Everyone can’t do everything alone all the time. There are times we need a cheerleader in our corner, rooting us on.
Between body building and my time in the military, I learned that the strongest muscle is the mind and that anyone can do anything they put their minds to (maybe we just need someone there to reaffirm that the hard work we do is going to be worth it).
If you’re ready to invest in yourself; mind and body. Let’s embark on this journey together to unleash your inner beastmode and start living the life you want and deserve!

Tony Palladino – Functional Strength Coach
Functional Strength Coach –
HI ALL! My name is Tony Palladino and I’m a Functional Strength Coach based in San Diego, CA.
Let me be the first to say BRAVO for taking the NEXT STEP in your fitness journey! This sh*t can be daunting and everyone needs help getting on the right track.
That’s where I like to step in…
Whether you are brand new to fitness or ready to take your training to the next level, then my FUNCTIONAL AF Program is ready to deliver.
I’ve spent A LOT of hours (10,000+) in the gym learning, practicing and applying various techniques and protocols to see what works and what doesn’t for my clients.
What I noticed initially was that a lot of my clients came to me missing something that they once had:
The bikini body from their 20’s.
The pliable joints that were never in pain.
The athletic power frame from their varsity days.
The high metabolism that would melt off any body fat.
The lean physique that was the envy of every pool party.
After connecting the dots, it looked like people really just wanted to look and feel young and strong again.
Surely it seems to be that the older we get, the more our body starts to break down and deteriorate, right?? (this is WRONG by the way, and I’ll explain more below…)
I myself realized that I was missing my more athletic, capable body from my younger wrestling days.
I was starting to feel more pain, less energy and being burnt out from old training techniques that simply didn’t work for me anymore. I missed the ability to move as dynamically as I once did, and I wanted to regain that youthful feeling while feeling capable in my own body again.
I knew I had to change the way I approached training for myself and for my clients…
This led me down a path towards learning in-depth about functional strength training. I took countless courses and seminars over the years to learn new techniques and training styles. I dedicated my weekends to discovering how the body functions, how to restore its capabilities and how to unlock even MORE abilities.
I tested many of the things I learned immediately in the gym and started to see MASSIVE improvements for myself and my clients.
I began to realize that your body can start to feel better than it’s ever been, at any age, if you apply the right tools and lifestyle changes to make functional movement and healthy eating a part of your life.
In the process, I crafted a system that helped people be in less pain, build lean muscle mass, torch excess body fat, unleash more strength and become a more functional human being.
This is what this online program is meant to deliver for YOU.
With the FUNCTIONAL AF Program, I’m going to help you take back control of your body. I’m going to help reduce pain in troubled areas. I’m going to show you how to approach your workouts for maximal results. I’m going to make nutrition easy to follow so you can shed the Buddha belly. I’m going to teach you how to be functional again so you can keep doing the things you love outside of the gym. I’m going to set you up for success in the long term.
Ultimately, everything you see in the program are all tools for you to implement and progress into. I promise you that after completing the program to full completion, you will start to look, feel and perform your very best – as long as you put in the full effort!
So, cheers to you AGAIN for taking this next big step in your life. My team and I are here to help guide you every step of the way.
LET’S GET TO WORK.

Wyatt Wermager – Functional Strength Expert
Are you looking to build functional strength, feel and look better than ever before? Look no further!My name is Wyatt Wermager, and I am the owner of Wyatt’s Workouts, operating my personal training business out of Self Made San Diego since April 2018.
I moved to San Diego from Colorado in 2018 to chase my dream of becoming a personal trainer, and now I have served 100’s of clients helping them become the strongest, most confident version of themselves.
My love for fitness began shortly after I graduated high school in 2015. I quit playing hockey after high school, and hockey was my main form of exercise for about 12 years, and I turned to the gym once my hockey career was over.
I was always a very skinny kid, but athletic. Once I got into working out, my focus was to build the strongest and most aesthetic physique possible. Over the past 8 years I have gone from a skinny 150 pounds to a solid 185 pounds without nearly any gain in body fat.
It all started out with a gym membership and a program I found on google, and it turned into getting certified through NASM, and eventually moving to San Diego to start my personal training career.
By 2020, I had built my dream body, built my dream business helping a ton of people, and then I was introduced to the game of golf.
I quickly became obsessed with it, and being a very competitive person who is chasing excellence in everything I do, golf became something I wanted to get good at.
I began studying the game of golf relentlessly, just as I had done with fitness, and my golf game started to develop quickly, and am now down to a 8 handicap in just under 4 years.
In June of 2023, I got certified through TPI (Titliest Performance Institute) to extend my knowledge on the golf specific fitness side of things, and am now working with a handful of golfers, helping them bring down their handicaps and hit the ball better than ever before.
I work with all types of people; men, women, young, middle aged, old, brand new to working out, and seasoned athletes. And they all love it!
What I have learned along my way is that no matter if you are a new mom looking to get back into shape, or a college athlete trying to go pro, the functional strength training principals I teach are going to help you get in the best shape of your life and crush your goals.
I love working with all types of people, because ultimately everyone can use help in some way. Whether it be improving mobility to be able to put your socks on without pain, improving your endurance so you can play with your kids longer with more energy, or you’re a golfer looking to improve your game, I am here to help.
If you are interested, I offer all new potential clients a FREE consultation & personal training session to come meet me, check out the gym, and see what it’s all about.
To get started, text FREE SESSION to 303-819-3368 and we will find a time to get you on the schedule.
I hope to hear from you!
-Wyatt
P.S…. Be GREAT!
