Ace Patel – Personal Trainer in Orange County
At a young age, I have always been so fascinated with human movement. I grew up playing sports and discovered weight lifting. Little did I know how many benefits I was getting from moving my body!
But as I got older I struggled being insecure about my body. I also had to go through many surgeries from structural problems with my bones (issues I was born with).
These set-backs pushed me to learn more about the human body and get a Kinesiology degree from Cal State Fullerton. During that time, I also worked with a Physical Therapist, so I could not only understand human movement at the highest level, but also rehabilitate injuries.
I have now been coaching and rehabilitating clients for 9 years! I have worked with all ages from 12-90 years and serviced thousands of hours towards strength training, weight loss and performance, while fixing injuries, compensations and imbalances.
Let’s work together and create a body for longevity!

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
John Clement – Personal Trainer in Orange County –
I became a personal trainer because I was forced to look in the mirror and see my own inadequacies and lack of knowledge when it came to strength training. Prior to high school, I never lifted weights in my life.
One PE class was all it took to change my perspective about myself. Trying to execute a 65lb bench was nearly impossible for me. I was humiliated and defeated that something that looked so simple and easy was extremely difficult to press off my chest. I made a promise to myself that I never wanted to feel and look weak ever again.
I started training 5 days a week immediately. I asked others that were more aesthetic and stronger than me if I could do follow them and their routine. It took till I was a junior in high school to realize I was a whole new person. A part of me still wanted more especially if I saw someone that looked better than me or was stronger than me. I was driven to become better than I was yesterday.
Fast forward 12 years, I found my way to Self Made Training Facility in Orange. Becoming a coach was extremely challenging because I was so used to training myself but not others. To become more proficient in coaching, I became a sponge soaking in all the knowledge I received from other experts, reading, watching educational videos, and getting my certification. I quickly advanced as an elite coach became known as the strongest guy in the gym.
I strive to make others feel good about themselves through strength training and athletic performance. What I experienced in high school is what I don’t want for others. I’ve made it my mission to prioritize my clients health, improve their aesthetics, integrate a healthy lifestyle that is sustainable, and be the strongest version of themselves.
The goal is to release your inner athlete. We all have that innate in us. If this story resonates with, please send me a message. I have over 3 years of coaching experience and I have helped hundreds of individuals feel their absolute best and improve their health. I look forward to working with you.

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 – Tired of Feeling Sluggish? Let’s Build Energy and Confidence Through Fitness
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!

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.

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.
