Aleesha Mattei – Prenatal and Postpartum Fitness
Personal Trainer in Rancho Santa Margarita – Hi, my name is Aleesha!I was overweight growing up and struggled a lot mentally and emotionally because of my weight.

After I recovered from my eating disorder, I wanted to gain strength and discovered weight lifting. I immediately developed a passion for fitness, nutrition and seeking to become the best version of myself physically and mentally!My priority is to help others achieve their physical goals while also developing a healthy relationship with food, their body, working out, and improving their overall confidence and strength! I specialize in weight loss, glute and leg growth, strength and conditioning, and helping others develop a healthy lifestyle!If you are looking to transform your life, message me to get started on your journey to becoming the best version of yourself!

Ashlynn Galpin – Personal Trainer
What do I offer?
Hi my name is Ashlynn Galpin. I’m a Coach here at Self Made Training Facility in South OC. I offer 1 on 1 training, partner/group training, online training, and I host a bootcamp every other Saturday called Queen Camp with one of our other trainers, Aleesha! Queen Camp is a group leg workout made to empower women in the community no matter your fitness level. For more details follow me on instagram! @ashlynn.fit
What does your training include?
I’ll show you the ropes of the gym including teaching you form, how to set up exercises, how to structure your workouts, how to stretch properly, new techniques, breath patterns, and so much more. I will hold you accountable to reach your goals and guide you through the steps it will take. With everyone’s journey & goals being so different so it can be hard knowing what steps to take- but that’s why I am here to help you and to create a workout program that is tailored to your specific goals and needs.
My goal and mindset.
My goal as a Coach is to empower my clients through encouragement, inspire them to work hard to reach their goals, and to find confidence within themselves, their body, and their strength. Working out may sound like something you “HAVE” to do. But my hope is that I can flip your perspective on that and show you it’s something you “GET” to do. Every workout you do gets you 1 step closer to your goals. Every workout you do you are showing yourself an act of self love. Every workout you do levels you up which results in an increase of confidence and strengthens the relationship you have with yourself. And while I love to talk about transforming into our highest version of yourself- I always preach to my clients to love themselves where they are at. Because “The man who loves walking will get further than the man who loves the destination” -Sal Di Stefano. Wishing you all an abundance of love, light, and energy <3

Kenzie Nguyen – Personal Trainer in Rancho Santa Margarita
Hi everyone!
I’m Coach Kenzie and I have been a personal trainer for almost 5 years now! Fitness has always played a role in my entire life, but it wasn’t until I was diagnosed with dyshidrotic eczema that I realized how important it was to me.
During the worst of my flare ups, the gym was the only place that helped me feel strong, beautiful and independent. That’s when I decided to train even harder and fully commit to myself.
My preferred style of training is Powerbuilding! I help you lose fat, gain muscle, and build strength all at the same time! We also focus on balancing nutrition, improving mobility, injury prevention and most importantly building your confidence!
When you work with me, we are a TEAM! It’s not me telling you what to do, but rather us working together, each doing our part, to reach your goals! I never want you feeling alone or unsupported during your fitness journey, we are in it TOGETHER!
My goal as a coach that specializes in helping those with gym anxiety is to give you the same experience I had, I want the gym to become your place to feel strong, beautiful and independent!
I’m ready to help you unlock your full potential, are you?
Kiana Mayer – Personal Trainer
Hi everyone, my name is Kiana Mayer! My passion for fitness comes from my own fitness/weight loss journey. I specialize in weight loss, strength training, and athletic performance training.
I got into weight lifting/strength training about 12 years ago, but was never very serious about it until about 7 years ago which is when I went through my weight loss journey and got my personal training license. I lost about 80lbs through weight training, consistency, and being more cognizant of the foods I ate. This ultimately led to my love and passion for fitness and helping others achieve their goals.
A little bit about me… I currently am in nursing school where I graduate next May. In August of 2023 I competed in my first bodybuilding show and just did another competition in July this year.
Health and Fitness has been a big passion of mine for a long time and I love helping others reach their fitness goals.
