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.

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!
Lydia Flowers – A Fitness Trainer Empowering You in Self Love
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! |

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.

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.
