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.

Michael Alvarado – Hybrid Personal Trainer
My fitness journey began in middle school when I decided to take basketball more seriously. I was fortunate enough to work with a coach who was determined to see me succeed on and off the court. For years, we worked together practicing hoop drills, weight training, conditioning, and challenging my overall physical and mental health. The work ethic I developed during those years stayed with me and formed a basis for many of my future endeavors.
When I became a coach in 2015, my passion for fitness and helping others started to take shape. I was fortunate to start my training career at a club that had a team of knowledgeable, successful trainers whom I was able to shadow and learn from which really set a high standard for my training. As time went on, I found myself transferring from club to club throughout California, further enhancing my skill sets and most importantly meeting passionate people in fitness along the way.
In 2017 I ruptured my patella tendon during a freak accident that really put me through some challenges. I not only had to re-learn how to walk, but I also hired some trainers to help me progressively heal safely and effectively. I knew that I could use this opportunity to learn from more experienced coaches and, at the same time, gain insight into what it’s like to be a client. I took all this in along the way whether it was with my physical therapist or one of my two coaches. I recovered from that injury with a better understanding of what it takes to improve mobility, regeneration, addressing overactive/underactive issues, posture, balance, having the right mind set, and much more.
To this day, I consider myself a student of fitness and I do my best to enlighten myself and my clients on these topics. If you think training with me may be for you, I ask that you come with an open mind and a strong dedication to seeing realistic results in more ways than one. I am looking forward to meeting you!
Mikayla Thoits – ISSA Personal Trainer in San Diego
I’m Mikayla Thoits, 21 year old ISSA certified personal trainer and owner of MacFitness. I started playing soccer at age 4 and my passion for movement and health has only progressed since. My love for sports starting at a young age made me understand how important physical exercise and nutrition are for our mental health when anxiety and depression started to become a battle of mine growing up.
My plans for the future always involved fitness, whether it be playing on the field or training those that are. Then Covid came along and my commitment to playing NAIA college soccer changed. 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 dive deeper into the space, which led me to not take the traditional route that I planned and start my new path. Having my mom and many other mentors in the fitness space made me more driven and inspired to follow this new dream of mine and turn it into a career.
With my holistic training approach, I focus not only on physical fitness but also on mental well-being and overall health. I truly believe that fitness should be enjoyable and sustainable, while using strength training and functional mobility to personalize programs and nutrition plans for each of my client’s needs.
Whether you’re looking to lose weight, build muscle, improve flexibility, a new outlet to help support your mental or improve overall health, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. Together, we’ll set realistic goals, develop a personalized fitness plan, and celebrate your achievements, no matter how big or small!!

Additionally, I served as a black belt martial arts instructor and a successful Drill Instructor at MCRD San Diego.

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.
-Tony
