Alexis Turley-Young – Neurodivergent Specialist
Hi, I’m Alexis!
Who I Am & How I Got Started
I’m a holistic trainer dedicated to empowering individuals both physically and mentally. My journey began as a D1 Track & Field collegiate athlete, where I not only honed my skills but also developed a deep understanding of the importance of both physical strength and mental resilience. After retiring from athletics, I transitioned into personal training, where I’ve been fortunate enough to spend the past three years helping people transform their lives.How I Help Others
I specialize in Strength & Conditioning, HIIT, Kickboxing, Self-Defense, ABA Therapy, Injury Rehabilitation, and Stretch & Mobility. My training approach focuses on the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I work with a wide range of clients, from athletes to women and children, including both neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals.Neurodivergent & ESL Specialist
As a neurodivergent specialist I am an expert in understanding and supporting individuals with neurological differences, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other special abilities. I provide tailored strategies and interventions to help neurodivergent individuals navigate challenges and succeed in various aspects of life. I also speak Spanish and can support English as a Second Language (ESL) clients in their wellness journeys.Why I Help Others
One of the main reasons I’m so passionate about working with children is rooted in my own childhood experience. Growing up, I often wished I had a big sibling to look after me—someone to teach, guide, and encourage me through challenges. That’s exactly the kind of mentor I strive to be for the next generation. I want every woman and child, regardless of their background, to feel safe, seen, and secure as they take steps toward improving their physical and mental health.
I am the lead massage therapist at Self Made Orange County. I graduated from Fremont College with a degree in Sports Rehabilitation and Massage Therapy in 2016.

Justin Land – Personal Trainer at Self Made Training Facility
Justin Land – Personal Trainer at Self Made Training Facility
Hi, I’m Justin Land, and I’m proud to be a personal trainer here at Self Made Training Facility. With over 12 years of training experience, I’m committed to helping others transform their lives, just as I did mine and many clients.
My journey into fitness began at 18. Growing up, I struggled with my weight and was often bullied for being the “chubby” kid. I attended several schools, facing harsh bullying, and I never felt confident in my own skin. For years, I believed that change was impossible—that I was just stuck being who I was. But eventually, I had had enough. I made the decision to take control of my life, and it became the best choice I’ve ever made.
I dove into bodybuilding, losing all my fat and gaining 25 pounds of muscle in a short amount of time. At 20, I competed in my first bodybuilding competition, and the discipline and results fueled my passion even further. From there, I became obsessed with powerlifting, although I never competed, I pushed myself to continually improve my strength and technique.
My journey didn’t stop there. Always interested in self-defense due to my childhood experiences, I transitioned into MMA. Despite being intimidated at first, I pushed past my fears and, just six months later, had my first fight. Although I didn’t win, the experience ignited a fire in me, and I went on to earn a 4-2 record in the ring, all while learning valuable self-defense techniques along the way.
Today, I bring a diverse background in fitness and training, but it’s the systems I’ve developed in nutrition, strength training, and self-defense that truly set my approach apart. I’m a walking, breathing testament that if I can transform my life, so can anyone. It doesn’t matter where you start; if you’re committed to making a change, I’m here to help you get there.
I specialize in working with beginners and busy professionals, helping them achieve their fitness goals and get in the best shape of their lives within 90 days. My approach combines strength training with elements of MMA and boxing, creating a program that builds muscle quickly while burning fat even faster. I teach my clients how to train like fighters—without the risk of injury—and how to push their limits in a safe and effective way.
While I’ve competed in various sports, my true gift lies in helping others reach their full potential. I pride myself on my ability to assess each client individually and create personalized training plans that maximize growth while ensuring long-term health and longevity. My goal is to make fitness fun, challenging, and life-changing.
Self Made Training Facility is hands-down the best gym I’ve ever been a part of, and I’m excited to be here. I’m confident that together, we’ll achieve your fitness goals and transform your life.

Melanie Hurley – Online and In person Fitness and Lifestyle Coach
Hi 👋🏼
My name is Melanie, I am an online and in person fitness coach with a passion for helping people develop healthy and sustainable habits through fitness and nutrition.
My career in fitness now was inspired by my own journey; 6 years ago when I was pregnant with my son I gained 75lbs and delivered him at 205. My pre pregnancy weight was 130, losing the excess weight after words was not only very difficult but at times felt hopeless.
Hiring my first coach was the best decision I ever made, I was able to completely change my body and health and most of all my mindset.
Since then I have made it my mission to continue my education and set out to help others do the same.
