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!

Apryl Ortega – Bilingual (Spanish Speaking)
Hi everyone!!! Hola mi gente! (Hablo español) I’m Apryl Ortega, I specialize in Functional Fitness & Rehabilitation at SMTF San Diego.
My goal is to guide as many people as possible through their fitness journey by emphasizing strength, rehabilitation, mobility, and overall well-being. I believe that fitness is not just about aesthetics, but about building a strong foundation for a healthy, active lifestyle—whether it’s recovering from an injury or preventing it, improving athletic performance, or simply feeling better every day.
The driving force behind my passion for fitness is my parents. While raising four children, my parents struggled to prioritize their health amidst the overwhelming demands of work and parenting. However, as much as they dedicated themselves to providing for our family, they often sacrificed their own well-being. As a result, both of them struggle with arthritis and live in chronic pain, unable to move as freely or comfortably as they once did. Witnessing their struggles made me realize the importance of maintaining an active, healthy lifestyle to prevent similar long-term consequences.
I thrive on helping people build a deeper connection with their bodies, enabling them to achieve their goals with confidence and sustainable results. I love seeing clients grow stronger, overcome obstacles, and push past mental and physical limits. Every session is an opportunity to motivate, educate, and empower individuals to take control of their health and move forward with purpose. My mission is to make fitness accessible and empowering for everyone, no matter where they are in their journey.

Therefore, using a holistic approach, I use personalized fitness programs and nutrition coaching tailored to each individual’s strengths, experience, and lifestyle to help my clients crack the code to health, fitness, and longevity while still leaving time for life’s other demands. My clients achieve real results for life while still having a life!

Lauren Aros – Body Recomposition and Strength Coach
Hi there! I’m Lauren, owner of Aros Fitness. I’m a personal trainer who’s helped clients lose body fat, gain muscle and strength, and create sustainable habits since 2022. My passion for helping clients reach their fitness goals stems from both a lifelong love of physical activity and the firm belief that fitness is the key to longevity and overall enhanced quality of life.
Though active for most of my life, I often struggled with my weight and could never seem to shed those last 10 pounds. Then in 2021 my life changed forever: I had emergency surgery to remove an orange-sized stomach tumor and spent 10 days in the hospital. I lost 20 lbs. and was stripped of the muscle and strength I worked so hard for.
Determined to regain strength in a healthy way, I learned more about training and nutrition. Each day presented a different challenge, but this new chapter made me appreciate health and fitness on a deeper level. So much so that I walked away from a successful trial attorney career and became a full-time trainer.
My journey profoundly influences my approach to training. I believe that achieving a healthy body composition is about more than just aesthetics. It’s about dedication, intentionality, and building a foundation that supports both current and future well-being. I use science-backed principles to guide your fitness journey while collaborating with you to create habits that fit seamlessly into your life and are truly sustainable.
I firmly believe that when you build a strong, healthy body and lifestyle from the ground up, it becomes an unshakable part of who you are. Setbacks are part of the journey, but your experience and confidence will always guide you. Don’t wait to look good, feel even better, and let your newfound confidence enhance every aspect of your life. I’m here to help you get started. Contact me TODAY!

Hi! My name is Lydia Flwers and I’m a San Diego native raised in what some see as a bubble of perfection. San Diego is a beautiful place with beautiful people, and I struggled in finding my own beauty for a long time. I always had issues with my weight and in no way was I close to the “Baywatch Body” standard that San Diego locals were perceived as. Fighting to love myself I tried every fad diet, trick and scam out there, and it wasn’t until 2022 that I decided to stop looking at losing weight as a quick phase and started looking at “what does living a healthy look like.” So, I started showing up for myself every day, even if it was in the smallest of ways. Physical changes bloomed into a self-acceptance journey that ultimately led me into a state of self-love. When I learned that it wasn’t another “fad diet” that would assist me in achieving my goals, I was able to find my rhythm within my fitness journey. Understanding that, this was in fact a complete lifestyle changes and no longer a “phase,” I was able to reach new levels within myself and my own mindset. 100+ pounds lost and now I am ready to put myself out there to become that steppingstone for others. I believe by helping others reach their fitness goals I will be able to use my skills and experience in corporate learning and development to change lives in such a positive way, and that is something that will fill MY cup. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, get a good working out or just become a whole healthier individual, I am your fitness trainer here to empower you in self-love. Let’s show up and show out together! |

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!

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.

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!

NESTA Personal Trainer in San Diego, CA
NESTA Certified Trainer
Why did I become a personal trainer?
Let me tell you a bit about myself first so that you can get to know ME first.
My name is Sarah Vandekar and I am orignally from NY but just recently moved to sunny San Diego to get away from the below freezing weather. When I am not training, you could find me at concerts, playing drums, skateboarding or anything else fun and adventurous.
Growing up , I was around close family members who struggled with eating disorders and soon found myself falling into the same path. Weighing myself everyday, barely eating, NOT going to the gym, and unhealthy choices led me to get down to 100 pounds by the time I was in my early 20’s.
The day that I decided to change my life and start a new healthy lifestyle was the best day of my life because not only did it change MY life, it also opened up a door for me to help other people. I became a personal trainer after I saw the change in myself both physically and mentally and I vowed that I would do that for other people. Fast foward a few years and I am living my dream of helping other people get healthy and to see their worth. I love my clients and would do anything to help them succeed in their goals.

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!
