Darren Sandoval – Personal Trainer in Orange County
My whole life I have been an athlete. At a young age, I played football and continued my career all the way to college where I encountered an injury that not only gave me a setback but ended my football career permanently. Unfortunately, this setback prohibited me from physical activity for a year. I’m now in the best shape of my life, both mentally and physically. I became a personal trainer because I can relate to the mindset of potentially having a setback that affects you physically and not knowing where to start. A personal trainer helps give that drive, support, and consistency which can achieve that physical body state one desires.

John Clement – Personal Trainer in Orange County
My name is John Clement AKA D.C. I am a performance-based physique coach at the Self Made Training Facility in Orange that specializes in using athletic performance to achieve your dream aesthetics.
Before high school, I had never touched a weight in my life. One day in PE class, I found myself struggling to press a 65lb bench. What looked simple for others felt nearly impossible for me. I was humiliated, defeated, and forced to face my own inadequacies. In that moment, I made a promise to myself: I would never feel or look weak again.
I immediately committed to training 5 days a week. I followed those stronger and more aesthetic than me, soaking up everything I could. Progress wasn’t instant, but by my junior year, I had become a whole new person. Even then, I wanted more—if I saw someone stronger or in better shape, it fueled me to improve. That drive to be better than I was yesterday became part of who I am.
Fast forward 12 years: I walked into Self Made Training Facility in Orange and began my journey as a coach. Training others was a whole new challenge. I wasn’t content with simply knowing how to train myself—I became obsessed with learning everything I could to help others succeed. I absorbed knowledge like a sponge, learning from elite coaches, reading, watching educational content, and earning my certifications. I pushed myself to become not just a coach but one of the strongest and most skilled trainers in the gym.
Today, I channel everything I’ve learned into helping my clients. My mission is clear:
• Build strength and confidence so you never feel weak again.
• Improve aesthetics and performance so you feel as good as you look.
• Create a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that transforms your body and mindset.
I believe we all have an inner athlete inside us—sometimes we just need someone to show us how to unleash it. I know what it’s like to feel small, weak, or stuck, and I don’t want anyone else to feel that way. Over the last 3 years, I’ve helped hundreds of individuals transform their bodies, improve their health, and step into their strongest, most confident selves.
If this story resonates with you, let’s work together. Send me a message, and let’s start the journey to release your inner athlete—because you’re stronger than you think!

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. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation, and let me show you how we can turn your fitness dreams into reality.

Kevin Matua – Personal Trainer in Orange County
Kevin Matua – Personal Trainer in Orange County – I developed a passion for fitness during my teenage years. The gym became my happy place, especially when I was dealing with being bullied and not exactly being a “star athlete”. Even though I had no idea what I was doing, I was all in, reading every fitness book I could get my hands on at that time. My desire to help others who faced similar struggles led me to spend two years in a physical therapy clinic, shadowing therapists. This ignited my love for guiding others on their fitness journeys, leading me to become a certified personal trainer since 2016.
My ultimate goal is to give others the knowledge I wish I had when starting my own fitness journey. With confidence, I am committed to providing the helping hand to anyone striving to achieve their physical and mental well-being, to lead happier and healthier lives.

Luke Ream – Build Energy and Confidence
Hey! My name is Luke Ream. Exercise and Fitness has been life changing for me not only physically, but mentally. I love helping people experience similar transformations that boost their confidence and help them make progress inside and outside of the gym.
I’m 10 years into my transition from female to male and it was fitness and weight-lifting that helped me appreciate my body not only for what it looked like but for what it was capable of. After reaching these results I knew that I wanted to help others achieve their health and fitness goals and to help them transform themselves into the best versions yet. I have been helping others in the gym for over a decade and officially became certified as a personal trainer in 2023. I have been a martial arts instructor for over 3 years teaching people from 3 years old to 80 years old. During this time I have also worked with people from a wide range of physical and mental disabilities and have helped them gain confidence and make progress toward their health goals at their own pace. Since becoming a trainer I’ve been able to help my clients lose pounds of fat and gain strength.
My first client, Veronica, a busy working mom, has lost over 145lbs on her fitness journey and is now smaller and stronger than she was in high school! Another client, Amy, a working mom of 4, has lowered her blood pressure and stress, after sticking to a consistent health program. Seeing clients make these life-changing improvements to their health and fitness is what motivates me to continue providing excellent fitness service to all of my clients.
I’m available 24/7, weekdays and weekends, for in person and online training. We’ll pick the right approach that works with you and your busy schedule. I’ll provide you with all of the necessary tools and knowledge to set you up on the right path.
If you have any fitness goals that you’re looking to reach I’d love to meet you. Check out my Instagram and yelp if you want to see more. Or click to book a free consultation!

Ruben Gonzalez
Coaching is much more than just a meal plan and training program.
The plan can be the best in the world, but the true transformation comes from teaching people HOW to adhere and WHY the protocols are the way they are.
Long-lasting habit improvement and education are the core of physique coaching.
I am very proud of all of the people who were coached under my wing the past year and beyond.
