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. Pretty quickly after I began my weight loss journey and committed to improving my health, I developed an eating disorder because I wasn’t mentally healthy.I set unrealistic goals for myself and became very obsessive and extreme in my methods. 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

Chris Kausel – It’s your time to thrive! Discover and build your true self.
Hello fellow athlete!
I’m a health coach, degreed nutritionist holding a specialization in sports nutrition, and a certified personal trainer based in Orange County, California. I received my BS from MIT and DN from CSULA.
I offer coaching, training, and single consults (in-person or online/remote).
#bilingual — HABLO ESPAÑOL
** EVERYONE IS AN ATHLETE **
“Everyone is an athlete” — it’s true. I don’t mean it in the sense of doing organized sports or being competitive. However, I do mean that for your body to thrive, you must give it:
– strength training
– high intensity training
– low intensity cardio
– mobility work
– adequate sleep and relaxation
– and ample and proper nourishment
“Athleticism” is what human biology expects of us.
Too many people are unaware that musculoskeletal function is THE LYNCHPIN of ALL health — even mental health. Longevity and wellness are more readily attained and kept with optimal muscle and bone health.
Would you like to have the health and vitality, or even the body of a 20-something in your 40s and 50s?
You can! Hit me up and let’s get on it. Now!
** APPROACH & METHODOLOGY **
I’m gentle, patient, well-spoken, very approachable, and I place a premium on proper biomechanics and injury prevention. I also have a knack for explaining abstract and complicated things about our bodies and biology to others. I’m a natural educator (it runs in my family).
These traits make me perfect for people new to fitness and older athletes in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond!
I myself am 54 years young and keep myself young through fitness, diet, and supplementation. Let me share this rewarding path with you. I promise you’ll love it and love yourself.
My health specializations are: nutrition, health and longevity (anti-aging), biomechanics, body image, muscular and aesthetic development, advanced body recomposition, strength, balance, flexibility, and functional fitness.
Health Forward
All programming, habits, and any recommended supplementation are intended to optimize your health and wellness while achieving the visible results you seek.
We’ll also review your health history, blood work, and help you communicate with your doctor about maximizing your wellness or any health matters. My dietetics education qualifies me to help you understand what the medical establishment doesn’t have the time to explain to you and how to properly navigate it in the best interests of your health, both mental and physical.
Guided by Science
All the guidance you’ll receive from me is 100% rooted in science (“evidence-based knowledge”). While I do not disparage alternative medicine, I do not promote any myself. For clients who report they benefit from any holistic or alternative therapies, I endeavor to explain their mechanisms of action within the context of what is known about physiology, anatomy, biomechanics, and biochemistry to see how well we can bridge established science with alternative approaches.
Biomechanics Rule!
I strictly monitor client form and watch for any biomechanical issues to address them early on. Injury prevention in the short-term as well as ensuring long-term functional strength and mobility are non-negotiable.
** WHAT RESULTS CAN YOU EXPECT? **
Using exercises, nutrition, and supplementation:
You’ll be fitter and stronger; more resilient; better endurance and stamina; better flexibility and mobility.
You’ll reverse key markers of biological aging.
On top of these healthful effects, you’ll watch your body blossom and change into the shape of your goals; you’ll become a stronger, happier, and calmer person.
Yes, mental benefits abound. You’ll boost your focus, happiness and self-confidence. And these, in turn, profoundly impact your wellness and health-span. It’s a positive feedback loop.
To be clear: if your goals include fat loss, I will ensure you can achieve it in a sustainable way.
Diego Meza – Personal Trainer
My name is Diego Meza, and I am Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritionist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I have been passionate about health and fitness since JR. High school, where I quickly fell in love with weightlifting and bodybuilding! My competitive nature in sports drove me to become a gym rat! After 20 years of dedicated strength training, I decided to turn my passion into a profession.
I spent countless hours in the gym, honing my skills and perfecting my technique. Over the years, I have helped countless clients achieve their fitness goals, whether it’s fat loss, muscle hypertrophy, or improving their overall health and well-being. I believe that everyone has the potential to reach their fitness goals, and it’s my job to help them unlock that potential.
As a bodybuilder, I have competed in several competitions and have even won a few titles. I believe that competing at the highest level has given me a unique perspective on fitness, and I incorporate that knowledge into my training programs. As a National Physique Committee qualified athlete, I am competing to become an IFBB Professional Bodybuilder.
I take a holistic approach to fitness, focusing not just on physical strength but also on mental and emotional well-being. I work closely with my clients to develop personalized training programs that are tailored to their specific needs and goals.
My philosophy is simple: fitness is a lifestyle, not a quick fix. It takes dedication, hard work, and a willingness to push yourself beyond your limits. With the right guidance and support, anyone can achieve their fitness goals.

I’m Joey Medina, and it has been my absolute joy to serve your health and fitness needs since 2012. I’m proud to have held and maintained my NESTA certification, which I earned a decade ago when I was just a 22-year-old with a burning passion for wellness. Now at 32, that fire is stronger than ever. My journey into the world of fitness began as a multi-sport endurance athlete, participating in swimming, track, and cross country. You could say I practically grew up in a gym and an athletic atmosphere, immersing myself in the world of fitness from an early age.

Their progress is my motivation.When I manage to steal some time away from the gym, you’ll likely find me exploring the local trails, pushing my limits through hot yoga classes, or unwinding in the local sauna studio. And, of course, I’m always eager to expand my knowledge by reading up on health, fitness, and entrepreneurship or tuning in to insightful podcasts.As I reflect on these incredible 10 years, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for being part of this vibrant community. Rancho Santa Margarita and the surrounding cities have become my home, and serving you all is both an honor and a privilege.

Nathaniel Flores – Personal Trainer in South Orange County
Hey there, I’m Nathaniel, and it’s been an incredible journey serving the wonderful community of Rancho Santa Margarita and its surrounding areas for the past 8 years! My focus has been on specializing in Speed & Agility, as well as Strength & Conditioning.
From a young age, I immersed myself in various sports training facilities, soaking up knowledge and honing my skills. But it was fate that led me to Athletes Choice, where I spent 8 transformative years as a Sports Performance Coach, helping athletes enhance their performance by eliminating risk factors.
My dedication lies in improving and coaching athletes to embrace healthy functional movement patterns, ultimately reducing their chances of injuries. It’s fulfilling to see them maintain and elevate their performance across the entire spectrum of sports, whether they’re youth, middle schoolers, high school athletes, college players, pros, or even adults seeking to stay fit.
Sports have always been a significant part of my life, and I’ve enjoyed a wide range of them, including Football, Soccer, Track & Field, BMX, Surfing, and Dance. But one adventure that stands out is the time I got the opportunity to play American Football internationally in Germany – a truly unforgettable experience.
But my journey doesn’t end with sports alone. I’m a bit of a unique soul, as I’ve also delved into languages, becoming somewhat of a Polyglot along the way. Combining my love for sports training and linguistic skills has been a rewarding fusion, making me both an Athletic Sports Trainer and a Linguist.
Life has also blessed me with remarkable friendships, and as I continue forward, I’m thrilled about the prospects of growing within the surrounding communities. Currently, my path leads me to the Self Made Training Facility, where I’m excited to embark on the next phase of my journey.
It’s been an amazing ride so far, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. I’m passionate about making a positive impact on athletes’ lives, helping them reach their full potential, and contributing to the fitness and wellness of those around me. Let’s keep striving for greatness together!
