Bryce Ward – Personal Trainer in San Marcos

Hi my name is Bryce Ward,
A little about me !!

I was born and raised in Northern Kentucky moving to San Marcos with my family. In 2017 I decided to attend Cal State San Marcos, to receive my bachelor of science in Kinesiology, which I recently obtained in 2021. After the first year into the program, I immediately knew personal training was my passion. I am fully dedicated to helping individuals with rehabilitation, wellness, and fitness goals.

My journey in fitness began when I was very young, I have been active my whole life with weight lifting and sports. I started my career very young playing in highly competitive sports such as football and baseball. I played baseball for 10 years in both high school and state select teams. My competitive drive, teamwork, and determination led to my interest in weight lifting and training because it was constantly a part of my lifestyle being coached by some of the top trainers in their field.

Since graduating with my B.S. in Kinesiology from California State San Marcos and NASM certification, I have been training individuals for over 4 years now and have been training myself for 8 years and I have absolutely fell in love with movement and fitness, thus I wanted to share and experience how I can help you with your own goals and aspirations.

My goal as a personal trainer is to provide my clients the knowledge, skills and ability necessary to establish safe and effective fitness schedules that can be used for a lifetime.
I provide structure & consistency through personalized programs that focus on developing good habits and maintaining them throughout your fitness journey, nutritional blueprint and additional fitness tools to ensure progression so that your goals are met in a timeframe that is healthy and sustainable. I also have specialized programs for athletes that focus on resistance/hypertrophy training, corrective exercises and nutritional/supplementation guidance.

Isn’t it time to place your health and well-being first? To learn more about how I can help you with that contact……

Diego Dengel – Certified Trainer in San Marcos

If you are reading this then you might be someone who is looking to better their life through health and fitness. You are in luck because my name is Diego and I am a personal Trainer. 

The thing that led me to a passion in health and fitness was my family. Growing up the youngest of 6 boys and playing multiple sports I learned a lot of things, primarily how to be strong and stand up for myself. Lucky, one great part of having so many siblings was how competitive we would get with each other and how we pushed each other to strive for greatness. That push led me to a stronger desire to achieve more for myself in all aspects of life, but especially my health and fitness. When I was a kid we had a rule in my family that you could not lift weights until you were in high school but seeing all my brothers hanging out in our beat up garage gym made me more eager to start my own journey. I would do push ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups for as long as I possibly could just trying my best to keep up with them. 

With the help and guidance from my brothers, I graduated from body weight exercises and calisthenics into more strength training and bodybuilding. Having someone to train me and correct me was crucial for my development in becoming the trainer I am today. This passion for exercise and training was instilled in me ever since I lifted my first dumbbell with the help of my family and this is the very reason I want to help other people in achieving their highest potential in fitness and health. 

Fitness is so much more than working out and lifting weights. It’s about being confident in who you are and in your own capabilities. By hiring me as a personal trainer you will be making a commitment to achieving your strongest and happiest self. 

I’m focused on improving my clients strength, body composition, and overall health. So if you’re ready to hire a trainer who will be patient with you, teach you, and push you to your limits. Contact me at the phone number or email above and let’s get started on your transformation.

Ian Lowery – Personal Trainer in San Marcos

How’s it going?

My name is Ian Lowery. I am a Fitness Coach based in San Marcos, CA.

I help everyday people live a better life by showing them how to move their body and build healthier habits without letting their life become consumed by the process.

I base my training style on four core beliefs.

First, fitness doesn’t need to be complicated or consume your life to get you the results you want.

Second, everyone should have access to exercise and a healthy lifestyle, no matter their current fitness level, their schedule, or their previous experience. If you’re willing to show up and do the work, you’re always welcome.

Third, everyone has the ability to make massive change in their life by making small changes to their habits. All it takes is perseverance, consistency, commitment, and a lot of patience. Not easy, but simple.

And fourth, fitness should be fun. You don’t have to love every second of it but if what you’re doing makes you miserable, you won’t stick to it long term.

My mission is to help my clients be the healthiest, happiest version of themselves without being consumed by the process of achieving their goals. That’s why we’ll work to find the habits and solutions that work for you, your goals, and your life.

We will use a variety of workout styles to make every session challenging but fun with a mix of resistance, cardio, balance, and flexibility training to keep your muscles guessing, spike your metabolism and keep you coming back for more.

A little about me, I became a personal trainer by accident.

I struggled with my own weight in my early twenties as a result of poor diet and limited exercise. I tried to figure out how to lose the weight on my own through lots of trial and error with no success to show for it. Around the same time I started my fitness journey, I went back to college to become a PE teacher and football coach. After a few semesters, I found I loved my fitness and nutrition related classes the most and switched my focus to get my degree in Exercise Science.

Along the way I started applying what I was learning in class to myself and was able to lose 45 lbs. by the time I graduated.

I understand the frustration of wanting to get in shape and be healthy and the confusion of not knowing where to start or who to trust.

That’s why I’m on a mission to help others who find themselves in a similar situation I was in learn the tools they need to get the most effective and sustainable results. My goal is to eventually get every client to the point they no longer need me because they have everything they need to know to continue to be successful.

My favorite thing to see as a trainer is that little smile on my clients face when they accomplish something they didn’t think they could do, be it lifting a heavier weight, doing an exercise they couldn’t do a week or a month before or hitting their goals.

That’s why I love my job. I love helping people be the best version of themselves.

Because of my experience with my own weight loss, I make it my responsibility to help others reach and exceed their goals without having to struggle like I did.

That doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun while we work. Let’s take the fitness serious but try not to take ourselves too seriously along the way.

Remember, fitness is supposed to be fun.

Ignacio Diaz – Strength Training Coach

Ignacio Diaz – Strength Training Coach – I would say that my fitness training path began in high school. After spending most of my school years being bullied, I finally decided to do something about it. I began exercising at home when I was 17 years old and I began to build my physical strength. Soon after, I began weight training and that’s when my muscle growth became very noticeable to me. Without realizing it, I was not only training my body but my whole being! My self-confidence grew substantially and I finally felt like I had a voice to be heard. This is why I want to share my experience and knowledge in all things fitness. I want to give the same life changing confidence to all of my clients.

Over the last twenty years I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge from my own fitness trainers, personal research, time spent in the gym observing, as well as the pursuit of my NASM (National) certification in personal training. I will dedicate myself to ensure that each of my clients have a goal specific program that is tailored just for each of you. I am very detail oriented and I will use that same personality trait to get down to the nitty gritty in order to determine the best path forward for you. I am going on 13 years of being a father and that has developed my character to be a better trainer for you. I am nurturing, patient, empathetic, and I always like helping others.
Whether you’re looking for a short-term summer weight loss program, an increase in strength&endurance, or to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle, I can help. Let me know a little bit about yourself and I will create the plan for you. I can also guide you through the process if you would like some direction with setting your SMART goals. We can always adjust our focus as we move forward and I get to know you.
Please reach out so I can be a guide for you on your fitness journey.

John Wilson – Certified Personal Trainer in San Marcos

HI, I’M JOHN WILSON.
Since I could remember I have always been struggling with my weight. Always playing sports, I could never get my weight down. Failing over, and over again throughout the 90’s and 00’s. 10 years ago I decided to change, and not allow myself to quit. My lifestyle went from one of sedentary, and poor nutrition. To one of activity, and nutritiously fulfilling. In the span of 14 weeks, I was able to drop 100lbs, going from well over 300lbs to nearly 200lbs. It was then that I decided helping others achieve their weight loss goals, as well as promoting a balanced healthy lifestyle was my passion.

Often, I’ll get asked what you can expect when training with me. It’s simple, training with me is like gaining a partner and a teacher on your fitness journey. I am not a drill sergeant. Questions, concerns, and understanding of why we do everything is paramount for your growth. I am someone that deeply cares about his clients, this means you always have someone who is passionate, educational, and supportive in your corner. Integrity is the foundation for accountability. In order to reach your goals, I need to always be open and honest with you. The training doesn’t stop when you exit the facility.

“This is the Best Investment and gift I have ever given myself.” -John Harper, DC and over 100lbs weight loss

“I cannot speak highly enough of John as my fitness coach! He has been an invaluable partner in helping me heal from a shoulder injury while also building muscle, despite already being a seasoned lifter. With his help, I’ve been able to gain an impressive 6 pounds of lean muscle mass in less than 6 months, which is no small feat considering my lifting experience and the fact that I’m nearing 40 years old with a decade long shoulder issue.” – Ken M.

Ron Machingo – Personal Trainer in San Marcos

Hello,
My name is Ron Machingo. I’m 62 years old. I have been a Sports Therapist for 12 years and a fitness coach for 6 years. I established my businesses located in the San Marcos Facility nearly 5 years ago, shortly after its opening. My greatest desire in the Fitness world is to be known as an educator, motivator and successful as a Therapist and fitness entrepreneur.

Many years ago as I worked with a great pastor growing a small church, I remember a visiting missionary pulled me to the side and told me God gave me hands that will heal people and don’t waste that gift. I can tell you at the time I thought “oh yea, right, I’ll be a doctor “ lol.. Life went on from then till now.

Today I feel that prophetic word is coming to pass. As a Sports Therapist, Corrective Exercise Specialist and Health and Fitness Coach I have seen my hands at work and I’m loving every minute I can help and I’m watching people move better and regain a pain free life again. It fills my heart with so much happiness and satisfaction. No one can tell me I’m in the wrong place.

I can only say to you, as it took many years to see this pass for me, reach into your heart deeply and find what hints god is sending you to help provide your direction. We are all seeking that happiness and enthusiasm in our life. Don’t let worldly things like Money, Instagram and Facebook direct or create your success. It’s all only temporary, like many things in this world. There is a more powerful way, a more meaningful and long lasting way. Through God’s Blessings. May God Bless You Today!

Please work to be happy and healthy in your mind, body and most importantly, your soul.
