Sure, here is a blog about how to optimize your Instagram profile link to generate leads:
Unlocking Lead Generation Potential: The Power of Your Instagram Profile Link
In the world of fitness, Instagram has become a powerful tool for personal trainers to connect with potential clients, showcase their expertise, and build a thriving business. But with so much competition, it’s crucial to optimize your profile for maximum impact. One often-overlooked element is your Instagram profile link.
Why Your Instagram Profile Link Matters
While your Instagram bio and posts are essential for attracting attention, your profile link is the gateway to converting those clicks into leads. It directs potential clients to a landing page where they can learn more about you, your services, and ultimately, take the next step toward working with you.
Optimizing Your Instagram Profile Link for Lead Generation
Here are some key strategies to ensure your Instagram profile link is working hard for you:
1. Link Directly to Your SMTF Bio Page:
This is the most important step. Instead of linking to a generic page or your website homepage, direct potential clients to your dedicated SMTF bio page. This page is specifically designed to showcase your qualifications, experience, client testimonials, and contact information, making it the ideal platform to convert interest into leads.
2. Craft a Compelling Bio:
Your Instagram bio is your first impression, so make it count. Briefly introduce yourself, highlight your specialties, and include a clear call to action, such as “Click the link in my bio to learn more and book your free consultation.”
3. Leverage Link-in-Bio Tools:
If you want to include multiple links in your bio, consider using a link-in-bio tool like Linktree or Later. This allows you to create a landing page with multiple clickable buttons, directing users to your website, booking page, social media profiles, and more.
4. Track Your Results:
Use analytics tools to monitor the performance of your Instagram profile link. Track click-through rates, conversion rates, and other metrics to see what’s working and what needs improvement.
5. Promote Your Link:
Don’t just set it and forget it! Actively promote your Instagram profile link in your posts, stories, and captions. Encourage your followers to click the link to learn more, book a consultation, or download valuable resources.
By implementing these strategies, you can transform your Instagram profile link from a passive element into a powerful lead generation machine. Remember, every click counts, so make sure your link is optimized to convert potential clients into paying customers.
Dear Self Made Training Facility Family,
It is with a heavy heart that we share some tragic news. Francis Ofili, a valued member of our SMTF community, recently experienced the unimaginable loss of his young son, Osiris.
Osiris, just three years old, touched the lives of everyone he met with his joyful spirit and incredible resilience. Despite facing health challenges from birth, he defied the odds and brought immense joy to his family. His unexpected passing has left us all heartbroken.
In this time of profound grief, we want to come together as a family and offer our support to Francis and his loved ones. The Self Made Training Facility is more than just a gym; it’s a community built on camaraderie, compassion, and unwavering support for one another. We believe in lifting each other up, not just physically, but emotionally as well.
To help alleviate the financial burden of funeral and medical expenses, a GoFundMe account has been set up in Osiris’s name. Any contribution, big or small, would be deeply appreciated.
PLEASE CLICK GOFUNDME LOGO TO HELP!
Please consider donating what you can and sharing the link with your friends and family. Let’s show Francis and his family that they are not alone and that the SMTF family is here for them during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Francis and his family.
With heartfelt sympathy,
The Self Made Training Facility Team

A Late Bloomer’s Triumph
At 50 years old, inspired by a friend, Roland entered his first men’s physique competition, placing an impressive 4th. This ignited a fire within him. Three years later, at the age of 53, he achieved the pinnacle of bodybuilding success by winning his Pro card in Pittsburgh.
Sharing the Passion
Roland’s Pro card victory was more than a personal achievement; it was a catalyst for a new purpose. He decided to share his hard-earned knowledge and experience with others who aspired to reach their fitness goals.
Today, Roland’s passion is evident in every training session. Whether you’re aiming to lose weight, compete, build strength, or simply feel healthier and more confident, Roland’s expertise and motivation will push you to new heights.

He began practicing sports like soccer and rugby at just five years old. “Even before we knew how to walk, our parents put a ball under our feet,” Franco recalls, highlighting the early and profound influence of sports in his life.
Franco’s athletic journey took him through various sports, including professional soccer and rugby, downhill mountain biking, and a unique equestrian sport called pato—a blend of rugby and basketball played on horseback. His diverse athletic background has equipped him with a deep understanding of endurance, agility, and power, which he now shares with his clients.
A Career in Personal Training
Franco’s transition into personal training was fueled by his desire to promote a healthy lifestyle. His extensive experience as an athlete, coupled with his academic background in sports science and psycho-pedagogy, enables him to guide clients toward achieving their personal goals. His training includes certifications in advanced sports nutrition, functional training, TRX suspension training, Olympic weightlifting, and more.
Franco’s holistic approach to fitness extends beyond physical training. He studied psycho-pedagogy and early stimulation, focusing on the psychological factors that contribute to motivation. This unique perspective allows him to connect with clients on a deeper level, addressing not just their physical needs but also their mental and emotional well-being.
Commitment to Special Populations
Franco’s passion for helping others is evident in his work with diverse populations. He has experience training high-level athletes, children, individuals with obesity, pregnant women, and people with special needs. His compassionate and knowledgeable approach makes him a versatile trainer capable of tailoring programs to meet the specific needs of each client.
Family and Faith
Franco attributes much of his success to his faith and the support of his family. He expresses deep gratitude for his wife, Abigail Giordanengo, and their son, Liam Giovanni. “I praise God, for He is responsible for everything that happens in my life,” says Franco. His family is a source of inspiration and motivation, driving him to continue pursuing his passion for fitness and helping others.
Join Franco’s Journey
Franco Giordanengo is more than just a personal trainer; he is a beacon of inspiration for anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall well-being. Whether you’re an athlete aiming to enhance your performance or someone looking to adopt a healthier lifestyle, Franco’s expertise and dedication can help you reach your goals.

Tyler Durant – Personal Trainer in San Diego
Meet Tyler Durant: Your Transformation Guide at Self Made Training Facility
TYLERS NOMINATION
I wanted to take a moment to personally acknowledge and appreciate the remarkable work of one of your trainers. His exceptional training techniques, leadership skills, interpersonal abilities, and adaptability truly sets him apart in the fitness industry.
I am thrilled to nominate Tyler Durant of SMTF San Diego for the Trainer Spotlight series.
Here are just a few reasons why I believe Tyler is a deserving candidate for this spotlight:
1. Innovative Training Techniques: Tyler’s ability to think outside the box and introduce new and effective training methods has truly elevated my fitness experience. When I first started working with Tyler, I was a complete novice in the gym and I had no knowledge of how to properly use the workout machines or perform exercises with correct form. Tyler introduced me to a whole new world of advanced training methods that I never knew existed. But perhaps the most remarkable transformation he facilitated was the boost in my confidence and comfort within the fitness world. His encouraging and supportive nature created a safe space for me to step out of my comfort zone and explore new exercises and training techniques. His creativity keeps our sessions engaging, challenging, and most importantly, enjoyable.
2. Leadership and Interpersonal Skills: Tyler’s natural leadership qualities and exceptional interpersonal skills create an environment that is both motivating and empowering. His ability to motivate and guide clients towards their goals is truly inspiring, and his genuine care and support make each session a positive and uplifting experience.
3. Adaptability to Clients’ Needs: Tyler’s versatility and adaptability in tailoring training programs to suit individual needs and goals are commendable. He understands that each client is unique and requires a personalized approach, and his ability to adapt ensures that every session is productive and fulfilling.
4. Athletic Endeavors: Tyler has not only competed in several Spartan Races, bodybuilding and marathon competitions but he also serves as a testament to his discipline, hard work, and expertise in the field of physical development, physical endurance, mental demands, and determination.
In short, I believe that Tyler’s dedication, passion, and ability to connect with clients deserve recognition beyond our training sessions. Being featured in the Trainer Spotlight series would not only highlight his achievements but also serve as an inspiration to fellow trainers and fitness enthusiasts alike.
Saludos cordiales,
Leonardo Velasco, M.Ed.

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.

Hayley Carlton – Certified Personal Trainer
Hi there! I’m Hayley, a passionate fitness trainer dedicated to helping people achieve their goals and develop a deep appreciation for fitness. My journey started with a lifelong commitment to an active lifestyle, including gymnastics and dance in my youth.
In high school, I chose weight training over physical education, sparking my love for lifting weights. Discovering my scoliosis at 15 led me to focus on strengthening my back, laying the foundation for my interest in corrective exercises.
In my thirties, a personal journey of sobriety brought me back to training and proper nutrition. Eager to deepen my knowledge, I pursued formal education in fitness.
After years in a desk job, I realized my true calling was to be a full-time trainer. I love connecting with individuals, witnessing their progress, and sharing in their joy as they improve their physical well-being.
Outside the gym, I enjoy cooking nutritious meals, spending time with my husband and pets, and indulging my passion for travel and backpacking.
In summary, my journey as a fitness trainer is shaped by personal experiences, a love for physical activity, and a commitment to empowering others to live healthier lives.

Eating whole foods can have a significant impact on one’s life for several reasons:
Nutrient Density: Whole foods are rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, in their natural form. Consuming a diet rich in whole foods ensures that your body receives the nutrients it needs to support overall health and well-being, including proper immune function, energy production, and disease prevention.
Improved Digestion: Whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, contain dietary fiber that supports healthy digestion and regulates bowel movements. Fiber also 
helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome, which is essential for nutrient absorption, immune function, and mental health.
Stable Blood Sugar Levels: Whole foods are typically lower in added sugars and refined carbohydrates compared to processed foods. Eating whole foods can help stabilize blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and sugar cravings. Consuming a balanced diet of whole foods can also provide sustained energy throughout the day, preventing energy crashes and mood swings.
Weight Management: Whole foods are often lower in calories and higher in fiber compared to processed foods, making them more filling and satisfying. Incorporating whole foods into your diet can help you feel fuller for longer periods, reducing the likelihood of overeating and supporting weight management efforts. Additionally, whole foods provide essential nutrients that support metabolism and muscle maintenance during weight loss.
Reduced Risk of Chronic Disease: Numerous studies have linked a diet rich in whole foods to a reduced risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. Whole foods are packed with phytochemicals and bioactive compounds that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help protect cells from damage and reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases over time.
In summary, eating whole foods can positively impact one’s life by providing essential nutrients, supporting digestion and blood sugar regulation, aiding in weight management, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Incorporating a variety of whole foods into your diet can lead to improved overall health and well-being.

Personal Gym Franchising Opportunity
When you become a franchise owner with Self Made Training Facility, you are not just buying a territory; you are stepping into a
fully-fledged success system. We understand that the transition into franchise ownership can be daunting, which is why we provide a comprehensive package of support to ensure your journey is as smooth and successful as possible.
In our quest for optimal health and well-being, we often turn to dietary supplements and healthy lifestyles. However, there’s another avenue that’s gaining popularity for its quick and efficient delivery of essential nutrients: vitamin injections and intravenous (IV) therapy. These treatments offer a multitude of benefits, from boosting energy levels to aiding recovery, and are particularly valuable for athletes seeking enhanced performance.
**The Science Behind Vitamin Injections and IV Therapy**
Vitamin injections and IV therapy involve the direct infusion of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This method ensures a more efficient absorption of these vital compounds. Unlike oral supplements, which can be affected by factors like digestion and absorption rates, the intravenous route delivers nutrients directly to the cells that need them.
**Benefits for General Wellness**
1. **Enhanced Energy:** One of the most noticeable benefits is an instant energy boost. The infusion of B vitamins, including B12, can provide a surge of energy, helping individuals combat fatigue and enhance their overall vitality.
2. **Immune Support:** Vitamin C, a powerful immune system booster, can be effectively delivered via IV therapy. This helps the body fight off infections and recover more quickly from illnesses.
3. **Improved Mental Clarity:** Vitamin injections can enhance cognitive function, promoting mental clarity, and aiding in the management of stress and anxiety.
4. **Detoxification:** IV therapy can also assist in detoxifying the body by flushing out toxins and free radicals, leading to a healthier, more vibrant you.
**Benefits for Athletes**
Athletes, in particular, can reap numerous benefits from vitamin injections and IV therapy to optimize their performance:
1. **Faster Recovery:** Athletes can experience muscle fatigue and soreness after intense training sessions or competitions. IV therapy with a mix of vitamins and minerals can speed up recovery and reduce post-exercise discomfort.
2. **Hydration and Electrolyte Balance:** Strenuous physical activities often lead to fluid and electrolyte imbalances. IV therapy can quickly replenish these essential nutrients, aiding in faster recovery and preventing cramping.
3. **Enhanced Endurance:** Intravenous infusions of nutrients like magnesium and glutathione can improve overall endurance and stamina, allowing athletes to perform at their peak.
4. **Optimal Performance:** Athletes require an optimal balance of nutrients for peak performance. Customized IV therapy can cater to an athlete’s specific needs, providing the right combination of vitamins and minerals.
**Safety Considerations**
While vitamin injections and IV therapy offer numerous benefits, they should be administered by trained healthcare professionals. It’s essential to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine your unique needs and to ensure the treatment is administered safely.

Self Made Training Facility Hollywood: A Better Alternative to Overcrowded Big-Box Gyms
In the bustling heart of Hollywood, fitness enthusiasts are faced with a multitude of gym options, from mega-sized big-box chains to public gyms that offer budget-friendly memberships. While these options may seem tempting at first glance due to their low prices, it’s essential to dig deeper to understand the real value of your fitness journey. At Self Made Training Facility Hollywood, we pride ourselves on offering a superior alternative that addresses the shortcomings of overcrowded big-box gyms.
1. Personalized Attention:
At Self Made, we believe in quality over quantity. Our gym is intentionally designed to be smaller, allowing us to offer personalized attention and support to every member.

SMTF Las Vegas' very own Anthony Njokuani defeats Brandon Jenkins
In the bustling city of Las Vegas, where dreams are chased and destinies forged, resides a remarkable individual who embodies the essence of transformation and tenacity. Anthony Njokuani, known for his dual roles as a dedicated personal trainer and a fearless bare-knuckle MMA fighter, recently triumphed in an epic showdown against Brandon Jenkins. The event took place on September 8th in the highly anticipated Jorge Masvidal’s Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA event, and Njokuani emerged victorious in this thrilling battle.
Born on March 1, 1980, in Enugu, Nigeria, Anthony Njokuani’s story is one of resilience and determination. His family’s immigration to the United States in 1983 brought them to Garland, Texas, where Njokuani’s journey in the martial arts world began. Starting with Tae Kwon Do at 17, he transitioned through Muay Thai and eventually embraced the world of mixed martial arts at 21. Njokuani’s younger brother, Chidi Njokuani, follows in his footsteps as a professional mixed martial artist, exemplifying the family’s shared passion for combat sports.
Njokuani’s early career witnessed success in the kickboxing arena, culminating in an undefeated record and the Kansas state Muay Thai title. This foundation set the stage for his transition to mixed martial arts, where he showcased his skills in the Texas-based Art of War promotion, becoming a champion in 2007. The journey led him to World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC), where his versatility and determination earned him recognition among some of the sport’s toughest competitors.
As the lines between personal trainer and fighter blurred, Njokuani continued to prove his mettle in the UFC and other promotions. His ability to adapt and persevere was evident as he faced formidable opponents, showcasing his striking prowess and fighting spirit. Notably, his victory over IFL veteran Chris Horodecki earned him the Knockout of the Night award, a testament to his determination to excel in every facet of his career.
Beyond his MMA journey, Njokuani’s story has taken him to various platforms, including Lion Fight, ONE Championship, and Gamebred Fighting Championship. His recent venture into Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA is a testament to his unyielding courage, as he stepped into the bare-knuckle arena against Brandon Jenkins and emerged victorious, leaving his mark in a brutal yet exhilarating showdown.
The dichotomy of Njokuani’s life—balancing the roles of a personal trainer and a fighter—showcases his commitment to both physical and mental discipline. His evolution from training others to training himself for battle is a testament to his dedication and the transformative power of pursuing one’s passion.
The Las Vegas community and fight fans around the world now celebrate Anthony Njokuani’s remarkable victory over Brandon Jenkins on September 8th. Beyond the punches and strategies, this battle encapsulated the heart of Njokuani’s journey—a story of a personal trainer turned bare-knuckle warrior, epitomizing the pursuit of greatness against all odds.

In the dynamic realm of self-made training facilities and dedicated trainers, the challenge lies not only in delivering exceptional fitness services but also in establishing a robust digital presence. In today’s world, where potential clients turn to the internet to find fitness solutions, Google My Business (GMB) has emerged as a transformative tool for self-made training facility owners and trainers. In this article, we’ll explore the crucial role GMB plays for both self-made training facility owners and trainers and provide insights on how and why to optimize it.
The Significance of Google My Business for Self-Made Training Facility Owners and Trainers:
- Boosted Visibility: GMB offers a unique avenue for self-made training facilities and trainers to shine in the digital landscape. By optimizing your GMB listing, you ensure that your services and expertise surface prominently in relevant local searches when potential clients are actively seeking fitness solutions. This heightened visibility can be a game-changer in attracting new clients.
- Establishing Trust and Credibility: Trust is the foundation of success in the fitness industry. When prospective clients encounter a well-maintained GMB profile for your self-made training facility or your personal trainer services, complete with positive reviews and accurate information, they are more likely to trust your brand. GMB serves as a powerful tool to establish your authenticity and professionalism.
- Local SEO Advantages: GMB listings frequently occupy a prime position in local search results. Through diligent optimization, you can enhance your facility’s or personal training services’ ranking in local searches, effectively reaching fitness enthusiasts in your vicinity who are actively searching for training options.
How to Optimize Your Google My Business Profile as a Self-Made Training Facility Owner or Trainer:
- Claim and Verify Ownership: Commence by claiming ownership of your GMB listing. Google may have generated a basic listing for your facility or services. Claim it and complete the verification process, which usually entails receiving a verification code at your facility’s address or a designated contact point.
- Thorough Profile Completion: Provide comprehensive, up-to-date information about your self-made training facility or personal training services. This includes your business or service name, address, contact number, website, operating hours, and a concise yet engaging business description.
- Showcase with Striking Visuals: Visual content wields immense influence in the fitness world. Upload high-quality images showcasing your facility, workout spaces, state-of-the-art equipment, or your personal trainer services in action. These visuals offer potential clients an engaging glimpse of what you offer.
- Encourage and Respond to Reviews: Actively encourage your clients to leave reviews on your GMB profile. Positive reviews not only bolster your reputation but also serve as potent word-of-mouth endorsements. Additionally, responding promptly and professionally to both positive and constructive feedback underscores your commitment to client satisfaction.
- Harness the Power of Posts: GMB allows you to create posts akin to social media updates. Regular posting keeps your listing fresh and engaging. Share fitness tips, success stories, promotions, and upcoming events to showcase your expertise and engage with potential clients.
- Monitor Insights: GMB provides valuable insights into user interactions with your listing. By analyzing these metrics, you can gain valuable insights into client behavior and make informed decisions to enhance your services and marketing strategies.
- Engage Through Google Q&A: Proactively address questions that potential clients may have about your self-made training facility or personal trainer services. This demonstrates your dedication to assisting and engaging with prospective clients.
Why Optimization Matters:
Optimizing your GMB profile is not a one-time task but an ongoing commitment. Regular updates, responsive review management, and consistent posting are crucial to maintaining a relevant and appealing listing. By optimizing your GMB presence, self-made training facility owners and trainers can leverage the platform’s full potential to boost online visibility and, ultimately, achieve success in the fitness industry.
In conclusion, Google My Business is an invaluable tool for self-made training facility owners and trainers alike. It elevates visibility, builds trust, and reinforces local SEO efforts. To fully harness these advantages, optimization is imperative. By claiming and verifying your listing, providing accurate information, showcasing your facility or services with captivating visuals, nurturing positive reviews, and staying active with posts and updates, you can position your self-made training facility or personal trainer services for success in the competitive fitness arena.

An Amazing Story of an Amazing Human Being! SMTF Very Own Tomas De La Mora!
Tomas De La Mora: A Journey of Resilience and Triumph
Life often presents us with unforeseen challenges that test our strength and determination. Tomas De La Mora’s story is a shining example of how the human spirit can overcome even the most daunting obstacles. Eight years ago, Tomas experienced a tragic accident that resulted in the loss of his left leg. The physical and emotional toll of such an event would have been enough to break anyone’s spirit, but Tomas refused to let adversity define him.
With unwavering resolve, Tomas embarked on a journey that would not only reshape his physical body but also redefine his entire outlook on life. Starting his preparation for his first competition, Tomas weighed in at 270 pounds. The road ahead was undoubtedly filled with challenges, but he was armed with an unyielding determination that would see him through.
Tomas’s transformation was not solely about shedding pounds; it was about shedding the doubts and limitations that had once held him back. He faced the mirror each day, confronting his insecurities head-on, and channeling his energy into achieving what once seemed impossible. Through hard work, dedication, and consistent effort, Tomas managed to carve away the excess weight, reaching a remarkable 178 pounds. This achievement was more than just a physical feat; it was a testament to his commitment to his own well-being and an affirmation that he could achieve anything he set his mind to.
The pinnacle of Tomas’s journey arrived on July 22, 2023, when he stood on the stage for his first-ever competition. At the age of 51, he showcased not only his sculpted physique but also the incredible strength of character that had propelled him forward. Placing 3rd overall in the competition, Tomas demonstrated that age and adversity are no barriers to success when coupled with determination and resilience. His achievement serves as an inspiration to individuals of all ages, reminding us that it’s never too late to pursue our dreams and achieve greatness.
The transformation Tomas underwent was not just physical; it was a transformation of his mindset. He proved that setbacks can be stepping stones and that the human spirit can rise above even the most challenging circumstances. Tomas’s journey illustrates that success is not measured solely by the destination but by the path taken to get there. His story is a reminder that every obstacle can be turned into an opportunity and that the power to overcome lies within each one of us.
Tomas De La Mora’s journey is one that Self Made Costa Mesa is honored and proud to be a part of. His dedication, perseverance, and remarkable achievement have left an indelible mark on his community. He embodies the essence of what it means to be “self-made,” forging his own path in the face of adversity and emerging stronger and more triumphant than ever.

As the franchise owner of Self Made Training Facility Long Beach, Adam’s journey is an inspiring testament to unwavering determination and a relentless pursuit of his dreams.
When asked about the key to his success, Adam humbly attributes it to his unchanging “Why.” He acknowledges that his motivations have evolved over time, shaping his journey and contributing to his current triumphs. As a young adult, Adam initially pursued recognition and prestige, conforming to the societal norms that often encourage certain career paths. His family’s emphasis on professional accomplishments led him down a path he thought would bring him success.
However, his true “Why” began to crystallize when he embraced his innate passion for knowledge. Adam found that the pursuit of information was the key to understanding life’s intricacies. Despite challenges in finding suitable mentors and coaches, his relentless thirst for knowledge never wavered. It was during this phase that he realized the power of aligning his motivations with his core values.
Adam’s pivotal moment came when he made his family his “Why.” This shift transformed his goals into something far more profound than mere financial success. His aspirations expanded to encompass time, presence, and the ability to enjoy life’s moments with his loved ones. He worked diligently to master the skills required to excel in different areas of his life – to provide, to be present, and to offer boundless support.
Among his various endeavors, Adam and his wife embarked on a passion project that transformed into a thriving business – their gym in Long Beach. Their mutual love for fitness and sports drove them to turn their dream of owning a facility into reality. Despite facing daunting challenges, such as signing the lease just before the pandemic’s announcement, Adam’s tenacity prevailed. With each obstacle, he and his wife overcame, they solidified their resolve, opening a Self Made Training Facility in Long Beach amidst unprecedented circumstances.
Adam’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and unwavering determination.

Optimal Nutrition and Wellness Strategies for Perimenopausal and Postmenopausal Women
Article and Insert by: Alice Trowbridge Personal Training
**Optimal Nutrition and Wellness Strategies for Perimenopausal and Postmenopausal Women**
As women transition through perimenopause and postmenopause, their bodies undergo significant changes that can impact their nutritional needs and overall well-being. A crucial aspect of maintaining health during this phase is ensuring an appropriate intake of essential nutrients. Here are valuable insights into dietary and lifestyle choices that can help perimenopausal and postmenopausal women thrive.
**Protein: Fuel for Vitality**
Protein takes center stage as a pivotal nutrient for women in this stage of life. Ranging from 1.2 to 2 grams daily, protein needs are vital for muscle and bone health, recovery, and a sense of satiety. Incorporating 3 to 6 palm-sized servings of protein at each meal can assist in maintaining muscle mass and supporting the body’s recovery process. Lean meats, eggs, egg whites, beans, and fish are excellent sources of protein that should grace their plates.
**Unprocessed Goodness**
A diet rich in whole, minimally processed foods offers profound benefits. These foods, close to their natural state, provide a wealth of nutrients, healthy fats, and fiber. Such a diet can aid in the prevention of chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure. Steering clear of sugar-sweetened beverages, packaged foods, and fast food is recommended.
**Vibrant Fruits and Veggies**
Colorful fruits and vegetables are a powerhouse of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Consuming at least 5 servings a day provides antioxidants and fibers that contribute to improved mood, brain function, and hormone production. A simple rule of thumb: make your fist the standard measure for vegetables and your cupped hand for fruits.
**Healthy Fats: A Wise Choice**
Healthy fats, including omega-3 and omega-7, are allies against chronic diseases. Sources like seeds, nuts, cold-pressed oils, oily fish, avocados, egg yolks, and coconut provide a diverse array of healthy fats. It’s recommended that 20-30% of daily calories for menopausal women come from healthy fats or about 5-6 thumb-sized portions daily.
**Fiber: Nourishing the Gut**
Fiber plays a vital role in gut health, influencing mood, brain function, hormone production, and metabolism. Women over 50 should aim for 22 grams of fiber daily to support bone health and reduce inflammation.
**Hydration and Sleep**
Water and sleep are non-negotiables for optimal functioning. Staying hydrated supports joint lubrication, digestion, skin health, and appetite regulation. Aim to drink half your body weight in ounces of water daily. Equally important is sleep, which impacts cortisol levels, weight management, mood, and overall wellness. Prioritize 7 hours of restful sleep and establish a bedtime ritual for consistency.
**Exercise and Self-Care: A Holistic Approach**
Regular physical activity, including both moderate-intensity exercise and strength training, combats muscle loss, bone density decline, and a myriad of other age-related concerns. Engaging in activities that challenge the mind, body, and spirit contributes to overall well-being. This can involve cultivating hobbies, practicing mindfulness, and maintaining social connections.
In summary, the journey through perimenopause and postmenopause can be navigated smoothly with the right nutrition and lifestyle choices. Prioritizing protein, unprocessed foods, colorful produce, healthy fats, fiber, hydration, sleep, exercise, and self-care lays a strong foundation for a fulfilling and vibrant life.
A Journey with God: Embracing Purpose on a Medical Mission to Fiji
Thank you very much for taking the time to read about my beautiful journey with God and the Mission that may change my life forever.
If you don’t already know me, my name is Erika. I am a Marine Corps veteran, EMT, personal trainer (obviously), photographer, and most importantly, a child of God. The past few years have been riddled with bottomless pits of despair, heartbreak, and what seemed like no “light at the end of the tunnel”.
Around 2014, while I was still in the Marine Corps, I had a meltdown as I drove home from working on Camp Pendleton. I had returned from a deployment the year prior and I felt incredibly lost. I sobbed as I asked God what my purpose was in life. Why am I here? Who do you want me to be? How do I do more? How do I save people? Show me how to be a person with a larger purpose!
A few years ago I found Christ and was reborn! My walk with the Lord has been tumultuous to say the least, but beauty and glory are brewing! He has pruned people from my life, opened new doors, and mended bridges that were scorched beyond repair. A few months ago my church held a ministry fair; calling us to use our gifts and talents for the Lord. I scoured the tent for a new ministry I could serve in; I currently serve on the worship team and the choir. Nothing caught my eye, nothing made an impact; that is until I stopped at the table for mission trips! Lying there, on the table, was a flyer for a Medical Mission Trip to Fiji. My heart raced, I picked it up, and I knew; this is where God is calling me.
We will be going to a remote village on the island of Fiji to provide medical care, dental care, eyeglasses, and spiritual counseling from October 27th to November 7th, 2023. We will be among the villagers healing them, worshiping with them, and sharing with them the power of God’s love!
My dream is to eventually become a firefighter or paramedic but this is where God has placed me at the moment. My desire to save people, to mend their broken parts, is not going unheard. This opportunity is exactly what I needed and I feel I have found my purpose! With God’s blessing and your support, we can make this dream come true.
“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” -1 Peter 4:10
I feel God calling me to use my knowledge, my hands, and my heart to go heal his people. If you are willing, and if the Lord moves you to do so, any gifts of sponsorship will be greatly cherished! We are partnering with Marine Reach Fiji, a Youth with a Mission Outreach. All sponsorships will cover airfare, in-country expenses, and medical supplies needed by the clinic. Could you please also pray for our team, for safe travels, and for God to move tremendously as we serve and treat those that are in need. I want to thank you ahead of time for being willing to participate in this Mission for God.

Achieving Your Black Belt in Jiu Jitsu: A Journey of Consistency and Overcoming Hurdles
Introduction
Hey there as a practitioner and fellow jiu-jitsu enthusiast! Today, we’re diving into the exhilarating journey that leads to achieving the illustrious black belt in jiu-jitsu. This is no easy feat, and it’s a path that requires immense dedication, perseverance, and the ability to conquer countless obstacles along the way. We’ll also take a moment to celebrate the remarkable achievement of our friend French, who recently earned his black belt. Let’s get started!
The Difficulties of Staying Consistent
One of the most significant challenges on the road to a black belt is the uphill battle of staying consistent. Regular training is the key to progress in any martial art, and jiu jitsu is no exception. Life often throws curveballs, causing us to lose focus, but it’s essential to find the willpower to keep showing up on the mats. Prioritizing jiu jitsu in your life can be tough, but the rewards are immeasurable.
Overcoming Hurdles
Throughout your jiu jitsu journey, you’ll encounter numerous hurdles that will test your mettle. From physical injuries to mental blocks, these obstacles can sometimes feel insurmountable. However, it’s important to remember that every setback is an opportunity for growth. Embracing the challenges, learning from them, and refusing to give up will ultimately make you a better practitioner. The path to a black belt isn’t linear or easy, but the journey is what shapes us into the martial artists we aspire to become.
Celebrating French’s Achievement
Now, let’s take a moment to congratulate and honor our friend French for earning his black belt. This accomplishment is nothing short of extraordinary, and it symbolizes years of dedication, discipline, and passion for jiu jitsu. French has demonstrated exceptional skills both on and off the mats, consistently pushing through setbacks and always striving for improvement. His journey serves as an inspiration to all of us who aspire to achieve the same milestone.
We couldn’t be prouder of French’s achievement, and his black belt is a testament to the countless hours of training, the sacrifices made, and the unwavering commitment to his craft. He serves as a shining example of what can be accomplished through hard work and perseverance.
Conclusion
Embarking on the journey to earning a black belt in jiu jitsu requires determination, resilience, and a whole lot of heart. Staying consistent and overcoming hurdles are part and parcel of this experience. Let’s draw motivation from French’s remarkable achievement and remind ourselves that the road to greatness is paved with obstacles that we can conquer.
So keep showing up, keep pushing your limits, and remember that the black belt is not just a piece of fabric around your waist; it represents the culmination of your growth as a martial artist and the unwavering dedication to the art of jiu jitsu.

BEING SUCCESSFUL IS EASY, THE HARD PART IS MAKING THE DECISION.
In today’s digital age, an online presence is paramount for the success of any business, and the fitness industry is no exception. While Yelp offers us a fantastic opportunity to connect with potential clients, having our own website can further amplify our reach, enhance our brand, and attract a wider audience. Allow me to outline the benefits of having both platforms working in synergy:
- Comprehensive Branding: Our website serves as a digital storefront, showcasing our unique brand, values, and services. We can design the website to align with our brand identity, incorporating our logo, color scheme, and personalized content. By highlighting our distinctive features, we create a lasting impression and a recognizable online presence.
- Customizable Content: A website grants us the freedom to curate content that precisely represents our offerings and expertise. We can provide detailed information about our trainers, their qualifications, and their specialized training programs. Additionally, we can include testimonials from satisfied clients, success stories, and compelling visuals that exhibit the results of our training methods.
- Search Engine Visibility: Unlike Yelp, where clients actively search for personal training facilities, having our own website improves our chances of appearing in broader search engine results. When potential clients search for fitness-related keywords or our facility by name, our website can rank higher in search engine listings, increasing the likelihood of being discovered by a larger audience.
- Direct Communication and Lead Generation: Our website acts as a hub for direct communication with potential clients. We can include contact forms, inquiry options, and even live chat features to engage with visitors in real time. By capturing leads through our website, we have the opportunity to convert interested prospects into long-term clients.
- Seamless Integration: We can seamlessly integrate our Yelp presence with our website, creating a cohesive online presence. By linking to our Yelp profile, we can leverage the positive reviews and ratings from satisfied clients to instill trust and credibility in potential customers who visit our website.
To establish our website, I recommend the following steps:
- Choose a domain name that aligns with our brand and is easy to remember.
- Select a reliable web hosting provider to ensure our website is accessible and loads quickly.
- Design and develop our website using user-friendly platforms like WordPress, which offer customizable templates and a straightforward interface.
- Incorporate essential pages, such as the homepage, about us, services, trainer profiles, testimonials, and contact information.
- Optimize our website for search engines by incorporating relevant keywords, meta tags, and providing valuable content for visitors.
By combining our website with our presence on Yelp, we can create a robust online strategy that maximizes our visibility, engages potential clients, and establishes us as industry leaders.
I encourage you to explore the potential of having our own website alongside Yelp, and please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Together, we can propel SelfMade Training Facility to new heights and continue providing exceptional fitness experiences for our valued clients.
If you would like more help on this just let me know by contacting me directly.

Don't put all your eggs into the Instagram basket!
In the digital age, personal trainers must adapt to online marketing strategies to stay ahead of the competition. While Instagram has gained popularity as a visual-centric platform, it’s important not to overlook the potential of search engine optimization (SEO) with Google. When considering the reach and user base of these platforms, it becomes evident that focusing on Google and Facebook yields greater benefits for personal trainers.
Google, being the most widely used search engine globally, is a juggernaut in the digital realm. With over 20 times the site traffic of Instagram, it provides personal trainers with an unmatched opportunity to capture a vast audience actively seeking fitness-related services. By optimizing their website and content for Google’s algorithms, personal trainers can improve their visibility, attract organic traffic, and increase their chances of being discovered by potential clients.
Additionally, Facebook’s extensive user base makes it an indispensable platform for personal trainers. With three times the size of Instagram, Facebook offers a range of advertising tools and targeting options that can significantly enhance a trainer’s outreach efforts. Through precise targeting based on demographics, interests, and behaviors, personal trainers can effectively reach potential clients who are more likely to be interested in their fitness services.
While Instagram remains popular for its visual appeal and engagement, it cannot match the scale and searchability of Google and the user base of Facebook. Personal trainers should invest time and resources into optimizing their websites for Google search results and utilize Facebook’s advertising capabilities to maximize their online presence and attract potential clients.
In conclusion, prioritizing SEO with Google and leveraging the vast user base of Facebook provides personal trainers with unparalleled opportunities to grow their businesses. While Instagram has its merits, it is essential for trainers to focus on platforms that offer wider reach and audience targeting capabilities. By strategically harnessing the power of Google and Facebook, personal trainers can ensure a more effective online presence and increase their chances of connecting with individuals actively seeking fitness services.

Insulin sensitivity refers to how responsive your body’s cells are to insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Insulin sensitivity is an important factor in overall health, as poor insulin sensitivity can contribute to a range of health problems, including diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.
Understanding Insulin Sensitivity:
When we eat carbohydrates, our body breaks them down into glucose, which is then transported through the bloodstream to our cells. Insulin is produced by the pancreas and acts as a key, unlocking the cells so that glucose can enter and be used for energy. When insulin sensitivity is high, our cells respond effectively to insulin, and glucose is efficiently absorbed, reducing the amount of glucose circulating in the blood.
However, when insulin sensitivity is low, our cells do not respond as effectively to insulin, meaning glucose remains in the bloodstream for longer, leading to high blood sugar levels. Over time, this can cause the pancreas to produce more insulin in an attempt to regulate blood sugar levels, leading to insulin resistance, a precursor to type 2 diabetes.
Factors affecting insulin sensitivity:
A variety of factors can influence insulin sensitivity, including:
- Diet: A diet high in processed foods, sugar, and saturated fats can contribute to insulin resistance, while a diet rich in fiber, healthy fats, and whole foods can improve insulin sensitivity.
- Exercise: Regular exercise has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity by helping muscles to absorb glucose and reducing inflammation.
- Body composition: Excess body fat, particularly around the waist, has been linked to insulin resistance.
- Genetics: Insulin sensitivity can be influenced by genetics, with some people being more predisposed to insulin resistance than others.
Why is insulin sensitivity important?
Insulin sensitivity is an important marker of overall health. Poor insulin sensitivity is linked to a range of health problems, including:
- Type 2 diabetes: Insulin resistance is a precursor to type 2 diabetes, a condition where the body is unable to effectively regulate blood sugar levels.
- Cardiovascular disease: High blood sugar levels and insulin resistance have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease.
- Obesity: Insulin resistance has been linked to weight gain and obesity.
- Inflammation: Insulin resistance can cause inflammation in the body, which has been linked to a range of health problems, including autoimmune conditions, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Improving insulin sensitivity:
The good news is that insulin sensitivity can be improved through lifestyle changes, including:
- Diet: Eating a diet rich in fiber, healthy fats, and whole foods, while limiting processed foods and sugar, can improve insulin sensitivity.
- Exercise: Regular exercise, particularly strength training, can improve insulin sensitivity by helping muscles to absorb glucose and reducing inflammation.
- Sleep: Getting enough sleep is important for overall health, and studies have shown that poor sleep can contribute to insulin resistance.
- Stress management: Chronic stress has been linked to insulin resistance, so finding ways to manage stress, such as through meditation, yoga, or therapy, can improve insulin sensitivity.
Conclusion:
Insulin sensitivity is an important marker of overall health, with poor insulin sensitivity linked to a range of health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Fortunately, insulin sensitivity can be improved through lifestyle changes, including diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management. By taking steps to improve insulin sensitivity, we can improve our overall health and reduce our risk of chronic disease

Growing up in Argentina, I never placed much emphasis on fitness and health. However, when I moved to the United States, I realized the impact that a healthy lifestyle could have on one’s quality of life. Motivated by my own transformation, I decided to become a personal trainer and help others achieve their fitness goal, READ MORE ABOUT MATIAS: Here
Hey everyone, my name is Miguel Angel Aguilar and I am excited to introduce myself to you. I am a husband to my beautiful wife Priscilla and a father to two amazing daughters, Jadyn and Rylee Aguilar.
Growing up, my childhood was not easy. I grew up in an abusive household where I experienced physical and mental abuse from my mother and father. At the age of 12, I was abandoned by my mother, and in search of a family, I joined a neighborhood gang. At the age of 16, my father was incarcerated with a 22-year sentence, which forced me to become homeless. 
However, God had a plan for me, and I found wrestling. Wrestling gave me the opportunity to learn skills that one can only know by competing against all odds. It made me into the man that I am today. I barely graduated high school and joined the workforce, where I eventually met my mentor.
My mentor told me to get my real estate license, and I didn’t procrastinate. I became a young entrepreneur, hustling and taking no excuses, and only succeeding. Fast forward to today, I am the owner of a national company called Self Made Training Facility. What started in 2014 in a garage has now grown to nationwide recognition.
I have faced many challenges and obstacles along the way, including addiction, but I have never given up. I am proud of what I have accomplished so far, but I know that I am just getting started. Stay tuned, because there is so much more to come!

Finding the Right Fitness Job: Tips for Personal Trainers
If you’re a personal trainer looking for a new fitness facility to work at, it can be tough to know where to start your search. With so many gyms and studios out there, it’s important to find one that aligns with your values, career goals, and personal brand. Here are 
some tips to help you find the right fitness job for you:
- Do your research: Before you start applying to fitness facilities, take some time to research the ones that catch your eye. Look up their website and social media channels, read reviews from clients and employees, and see if they align with your personal and professional values. This can help you narrow down your options and focus on the facilities that are the best fit for you.
- Network with other trainers: Reach out to other personal trainers in your area and ask them about the facilities they’ve worked at. They may have valuable insights and recommendations that can help you find the right fit. You can also join online fitness communities and groups to connect with other trainers and learn more about the industry.
- Use relevant keywords: When searching for fitness job openings online, use keywords that are relevant to your skills and experience. For example, “personal training jobs” or “fitness employment opportunities” can help you find job postings that are specifically geared towards personal trainers.
- Consider the culture: When you’re interviewing for a fitness job, pay attention to the culture of the facility. Are the employees friendly and supportive? Does the facility prioritize continuing education and professional development? These factors can have a big impact on your job satisfaction and long-term success.
- Negotiate your compensation: Don’t be afraid to negotiate your compensation package when you’re offered a fitness job. Know your worth and be prepared to advocate for yourself. This can help ensure that you’re being fairly compensated for your skills and experience.

Coast Guard vet lunges into fitness franchise
:quality(70)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/archetype/I5RSN4I2RZCMVBMPSSHAUF7ZYI.png)
Cancer and COVID-19 both tried to throw curveballs at Christopher Alcala’s post-military career plans, but the Los Angeles native continues to overcome whatever challenges life throws in front of him.
Alcala was diagnosed with Stage 4 Leukemia at the age of 25, an obstacle that ended his hopes of becoming a police officer in Los Angeles after serving four years in the Coast Guard. The experience landed Alcala in a bad place.
“I was so very lost, I didn’t know what to do, I was angry at the world,” he said.
The aftermath took Alcala into the real estate world, a career his father thrived in for more than 35 years, but one that Christopher found wasn’t truly a fit for him.
“I wasn’t making bad money, but I wasn’t fulfilled,” he said. “I felt like I was lying to myself about it and when I do something, I want to be all in.”
The experience wasn’t a total waste of time for Alcala. Hardly. Through life as a real estate agent, Alcala met the man who led him on a path to a promising career as a franchise owner of a fitness facility.
He was introduced to Miguel Aguilar, the CEO and President of Self Made Training Facility, or SMTF, an innovative workout franchise where trainers rent space to serve their clients. The business model is similar to a hairstylist renting out a chair in a salon. Trainers pay a flat monthly fee of $800-$1,950 depending on the location to have access to the entire facility to train their clients.
“We always say we’re a private training facility,” Alcala said. “We’re a place for entrepreneurs to learn, learn about their business and to sell their business. We give them so many streams of revenue that they can pick from, you have to put the work in.”
Aguilar offered Alcala and his wife, Kaylee, an opportunity to open the first franchise near Hollywood, an opportunity that Alcala jumped at.
“The company just spoke to me, and my wife enjoyed what the company was about,” Alcala said. “So we took the shot. It was probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, especially with the time we purchased our franchise, two weeks before the world shut down.”
COVID-19 threw the Alcalas another setback. The first step in the franchising process, finding a building, was delayed two years because of pandemic restrictions and the hesitation of some to do business with a first-time entrepreneur.
“People looked at me and said I was too young, they didn’t take me seriously,” said Alcala, who was 31 at the time.
The Alcalas put in offers for 22 buildings over a year and half and continued to be rejected before finally finding a location. Following challenges with building permits and contractors, the Alcalas finally broke ground on their franchise on Feb. 1, 2022, and recently celebrated their one-year anniversary.
“I think fitness can be pretty intimidating to some people that have never been in the gym or that are overweight or that are anorexic or just, just people in general, if they’ve never been to a gym or they’re not comfortable in that setting,” Alcala said. “It’s hard for them to feel accepted, so my main mission coming into this was I wanted everybody to feel comfortable, whether you’re a 12-year-old-kid, your soccer mom, your grandma, I don’t care. I want everybody to feel welcome at my facility and feel safe coming in.”
That facility door is especially open to veterans and first responders, many of whom may also be looking for something else in life.
“My heart’s a little bit a little bit more open to veterans because I get their transition in the mindset,” Alcala said. “I always said, I forgot to schedule a dentist appointment for a year and a half after the military because they just scheduled them for you and you just went. I think the biggest thing for me is when we run across veterans or veterans reach out to me, I always try to help them with the transition more than the building of the business. Most people in the military that I’ve run into are pretty good people because they encounter so many different types of people in the military.”

Chances are, as you’re reading this, you’re hunched over your phone or slouched at your desk. And it hurts. You’re in desperate need of some exercises for low back pain.
Your lower back is one of the most important parts of your body’s kinetic chain. “It’s where everything in the body connects,” says Jeff Brannigan, program director at Stretch*d, which offers in-studio and online classes. When this area of the body becomes tight, injured, or weak, it can wreak havoc in every other area of the body.
The vertebrae in your lower back—a.k.a. the lumbar spine—are the largest and bear the most weight, which means there are many possible ways to wind up with lower back pain. Simply sitting for long periods of time is one of the biggest culprits. “Most often, back pain results with no known cause,” says Jordan Seda, DPT, OCS, a certified strength and conditioning specialist at Stroma. “For example, imagine sitting at a desk and feeling a spasm in your back an hour into your workday. Prolonged periods of inactivity do not treat the body well.”
Of course, there are plenty of ways to wind up with a lower back injury that don’t involve sitting. “Lower back pain or weakness can stem from a multitude of reasons depending on your field of work,” says Miguel Aguilar, founder of Self Made Training. “Working a hard-labor job consisting of picking up or pulling heavy objects, crouching and bending over, or repeating the same movement repeatedly can cause lower back pain.”
Caring for your lumbar spine and finding lower back pain relief is all about having the right balance of exercise and stretching. “Each segment of your body needs to have a certain amount of flexibility and a certain amount of stability,” says Jenna Crivelli, DPT, a physical therapist at Stroma.
It needs to be able to support you as you bend over to pickup your toddler and keep you steady when you have to stand for an hour when you can’t find a seat on the train. “Health is about balance, and so the spine is also about balance,” Crivelli says. Figuring out how to relieve lower back pain, therefore, requires a mix of movement, stretching, and strength training.
First, you want to stay mobile. “Our bodies were made to move,” says Seda. “Movement allows for circulation of fluids that keep our tissues healthy and prepared for having to perform more strenuous physical tasks.” When we sit at a desk all day without taking walk breaks, it’s “terrible” for the body, adds Brannigan.
This is why regular lower back stretches are so important. “Active, movement-based stretching helps promote circulation and reduces the stiffness that builds over time when you stay in one position for too long,” Brannigan says. “When static for too long, muscles become tight and contracted; gentle, movement-based stretches will help loosen these muscles up and relieve tension.”
Finally, it’s important to make sure you’re also doing strength-building exercises one to two times a week to keep your back muscles strong, says Aguilar. “Surrounding our spines are core muscles that keep our spine stable,” he says. “It’s important to balance stretching with strength-building exercises to help lengthen muscle tissues and increase flexibility to be able to perform muscle-building exercises pain-free, and with greater range of motion to make the exercise more effective.” Free workout apps and YouTube workouts are a great place to start.
The most important thing you can do to fix lower back pain is to have a consistent routine filled with the best back exercises. (Some good workout songs won’t hurt either.) Here are 17 lower back exercises designed to keep you flexible, strong, and pain-free.
The Pelvic Clock
“I love this exercise, as it can be used as a way to warm up to other exercises,” says Mody of this move to help strengthen the lower back. “It is subtle but effective at awakening your abdominals and improving stability of the lumbo-pelvic junction.”
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet shoulder-width apart. Imagine that there is a clock face resting on your abdomen with a marble in the center of the clock.
- Slowly draw in your stomach muscles toward your spine and tilt your pelvis back, flattening your back onto the mat. Imagine the marble rolling toward 12 o’clock.
- Next, tilt your pelvis forward, rolling onto your tailbone. Imagine the marble rolling toward 6 o’clock. The stomach muscles will relax and your back should arch off the mat slightly.
- Next, drop your left hip bone down toward the mat. Your right hip bone will lift toward the ceiling as you imagine the marble rolling toward 3 o’clock.
- Finally, drop your right hip bone down toward the mat as you imagine the marble rolling toward 9 o’clock.
- Repeat five times clockwise and five times counterclockwise.
Bird Dog
“This is one of the most researched low back exercises, as it works on the stabilization of the low back (lumbar multifidi) while keeping the abdominals (transversus abdominis) contracted,” says Mody. The key: making sure your abdominals stay engaged and activated throughout the movement.
038 FROM HOMELESS TO SELF MADE MILLIONAIRE; MIGUEL AGUILAR | Nick Koumalatsos description
038 FROM HOMELESS TO SELF MADE MILLIONAIRE; MIGUEL AGUILAR | Nick Koumalatsos description
When I first disrupted the industry it was something positive that brought value to personal trainers to truly create the careers they dreamed of. It can also be a negative when disrupting the industry as it’s very easy to falsify the success of entrepreneurs through “get quick rich” schemes.
As a part of our series about business leaders who are shaking things up in their industry, I had the pleasure of interviewing Miguel Aguilar.
As a kid, Miguel grew up quickly after being abandoned by his parents at the young age of sixteen. From sleeping in his car, to briefly getting caught up in drugs, his childhood shaped him, teaching him to have perseverance, grit, thick skin, emotional intelligence, and the ability to be the best at everything he put his mind to. This ultimately led to his success story…
Miguel decided to pursue his passion for health & fitness and started training clients out of his garage after a rough patch in his real estate career. Within 12 months he outgrew the garage space and was on the search for a place to train his clients. He quickly realized the devalued craft of personal training, understanding there was no way to develop a career working for a corporate gym since they take most of your earnings.
Experiencing the problem with corporate gyms and the personal training industry firsthand, he decided to create the solution and disrupt the industry dramatically. Miguel focused on bringing back the value of personal training and helping independent contractor personal trainers create a real career where they keep most of their earnings. With the SMTF business model, trainers pay a flat monthly fee ranging anywhere from $800-$1950 depending on location, and have access to the whole facility to use with their clients, similar to a hairstylist renting a chair in a salon.
Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we dig in, our readers would like to get to know you a bit more. Can you tell us a bit about your “backstory”? What led you to this particular career path?
I,Miguel Aguilar, am the President and CEO of Self Made Training Facility. My journey to this position of leadership has been marked by a transformation from homelessness and bankruptcy, to the establishment and expansion of a globally recognized private training facility franchise. The company, which was founded in a humble three-car garage, has since grown to encompass over 21 locations, with plans in motion for further growth nationwide.
Can you tell our readers what it is about the work you’re doing that’s disruptive?
The prioritization of personal training as a valuable commodity has been reestablished at Self Made Training Facility, as opposed to material possessions that were previously prioritized by big box gyms in the industry. The conventional perception that value lies in the physical establishment and equipment has been disrupted, as we place emphasis on the personal trainers themselves, who through their expertise in health and fitness, facilitate transformative experiences in the lives of our clients.
Can you share a story about the funniest mistake you made when you were first starting? Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that?
The funniest mistake I made when I was first starting out was running out of money. I under budgeted the project not knowing how or what truly went into building a commercial gym. I had the option to either give up and possibly file bankruptcy again, or make sacrifices to bring my vision to life. I sold my most prized possession at the time, my 2014 road king & 1972 suburban to finish funding the buildout of our very first Self Made location.
We all need a little help along the journey. Who have been some of your mentors? Can you share a story about how they made an impact?
Some of my mentors along the way have been Andy Frisella — The founder of 1st Phorm. His work ethic, core values, and discipline is something that I admired. He had always been straightforward and left no gray area when it comes to what it takes as a business owner.
In today’s parlance, being disruptive is usually a positive adjective. But is disrupting always good? When do we say the converse, that a system or structure has ‘withstood the test of time’? Can you articulate to our readers when disrupting an industry is positive, and when disrupting an industry is ‘not so positive’? Can you share some examples of what you mean?
When I first disrupted the industry it was something positive that brought value to personal trainers to truly create the careers they dreamed of. It can also be a negative when disrupting the industry as it’s very easy to falsify the success of entrepreneurs through “get quick rich” schemes.
Can you share five of the best words of advice you’ve gotten along your journey? Please give a story or example for each.
Consistency: Staying true to our brand’s vision through the ups and downs.
Application: Constantly applying more value to our company
Grit: Remaining determined to sustain effort and achieve long-term goals, despite difficulties or setbacks.
Steadfast: Being 100% committed no matter what setbacks come our way
Thick Skin: Being able to endure criticism, rejection or insult without being affected or discouraged
We are sure you aren’t done. How are you going to shake things up next?
We are always trying to push the envelope when it comes to private personal training in the health and fitness space. Our next goal is to be in every state in the U.S as well as go international. In addition, we want to create new systems to help fitness entrepreneurs truly thrive in their space.
Do you have a book, podcast, or talk that’s had a deep impact on your thinking? Can you share a story with us? Can you explain why it was so resonant with you?
The books Think and Grow Rich, and Rich Dad Poor Dad have impacted my life dramatically. They have helped me change the way I think and truly believe in myself as well as be able to manifest the life I live now. It also helped me to understand the true difference between a liability and asset and how to approach things in a different light.
Can you please give us your favorite “Life Lesson Quote”? Can you share how that was relevant to you in your life?
“Procrastination is Death” If you procrastinate on your thoughts and ideas you are basically digging your own grave.
You are a person of great influence. If you could inspire a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be? You never know what your idea can trigger.
It would be exactly what I’m doing now. If you think about it, the movement I’ve created through Self Made Training Facility is to propel personal trainers financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically and that trickles down to their consumers, the family of the consumers, etc..

Self Made ’59 Impala – SEMA 2019 Spotlight #MTSEMA19
Every year, the PPG booth features some of the industry’s top builds and this year’s SEMA convention was no different. One of the crowd favorites was this 1959 Impala convertible owned by Miguel Aguilar. Miguel, who is the owner and CEO of Self Made Training Facilities and Self Made Real Estate, is by no means a stranger to lowriding. His latest project would include a collaboration with Junior’s Custom Upholstery, Pacific Stereo and Herman of Engrave It, just to name a few. It was Pete’s work of Hot Dog Kustoms that kept the SEMA attendees gazing for hours. The vibrant pearl white paint along with the dazzling patterns and flake, found on the dash and trunk, is the visible reason why this car was chosen to represent the PPG brand.
(MENAFN– GetNews)
What does the phrase ‘Self Made mean to you?
For some, they’re just pretty words… but for Miguel Aguilar, It’s a lifestyle.
Miguel grew up in the rough neighborhoods of Riverside California surrounded by gangs, drugs and violence around every corner you turned and life at home was anything but perfect. From the earliest age he could remember life was hard, and he didn’t have a parental structure in place. Dad wasn’t around much and mom was a pathological liar who eventually abandoned Miguel with his father by age 12. Fast forward to 16 years old in High School his father went to prison and he was kicked out of the house by his step mom.
Miguel was living in his car and bouncing from couch to couch just to survive and avoid being thrown back in the system. He hustled every single day to earn his keep and was just barley able to graduate High School. Moving forward he took on all kinds of jobs and thanks to his hustle mentality he was able to begin living a normal life while working real estate and things were starting to look up for him.
But after the crash in ’08 Miguel like many others, had to file for bankruptcy and find a new way to support himself. By 2012 he came to the wild idea of solving a problem that many trainers in the fitness industry are faced with – lack of facilities to use with their clients. He began training people out of his garage and once he started to really envision what it could become, he decided to use every penny he’s ever saved in order to open a training facility…Self Made. He ended up selling his cars and anything he could get his hands on just to scrape up the additional money he needed to purchase the workout machines and décor. After grinding in the facility for months, he was able to make back all the money he spent, but rather than wasting it he reinvested into opening other locations. The moment he realized he had something great on his hands he began franchising Self Made to others, and the rest was history.
By the end of 2019 there will be 3 more Self Made Facilities opening across the U.S bringing him to 20 locations and it doesn’t stop there. Miguel plans to open hundreds of facilities in every state and is constantly on the hunt for new opportunities. From being abandoned, homeless and left to rely on himself, Miguel is now the CEO of a wildly successful training facility racking in well over 7 figures and is the true definition of a Self Made Man.

Miguel Aguilar, the Self Made CEO of Self Made Training Facility – the Unreal Zero to Zenith Story
Temecula, CA – August 20, 2019 – Self Made Training Facility is a gym with a difference and the company’s CEO, Miguel Aguilar had a very humble and unlikely beginning. Today, with over 17 locations across the width and breadth of the US, Self Made Training Facility is carving a niche for itself with the incredible entrepreneurial skills of its founder Miguel Aguilar. Miguel Aguilar’s astonishing rise to success is an inspiring story, and the gym is redefining personal fitness training and its franchises.
Making things happen despite the odds is a skill few possess – Miguel Aguilar has what it takes. He had all odds stacked against him. At just ten years old, he had a mother who is a drug addict. And then, his father was sentenced to prison for 22 years when he was 16. Consequently, he wound up homeless and living out of his car. He had to battle it out on the streets to survive – he raised himself on the mean streets. Miguel Aguilar was trying to figure out how to make somebody out of himself. There was no smooth sailing – he was roughed up by drug addiction, bankruptcy, and other bog downs before building his business from the ground up. Miguel Aguilar is SELFMADE, and today, he has a robust multi-million dollar fitness franchise, he runs with his beautiful wife Autumn Aguilar, the Self Made Training Facility.
With all their heuristic skills and self-motivation, falling and getting back up again, Miguel Aguilar and Autumn Aguilar worked to build one of the most exciting personal training franchises in the country. Their ingenuity created a phenomenon in the fitness industry with Miguel’s revolutionary concept. The deal was not to charge members a monthly membership fee as traditional gyms do. Instead, the couple managed to understand that perhaps there was an opportunity to cater exclusively to personal trainers. And, they realized that it’s something feasible and now they operate by merely charging those personal trainers a flat monthly fee. This way, they are facilitated to manage their training business out of, build their own business, earn over 6-figures doing so, and keep every dollar they earned in profit margin.
Miguel Aguilar was an overweight kid who had life hammering him hard. But, he stuck it out passionately and turned out phenomenal as a self-made, multi-million dollar fitness entrepreneur. Self Made Training Facility is the fruit of Miguel Aguilar’s resilience, hard work, passion, learning, dedication, and mostly his high-degree of self-respect.

Miguel Aguilar is the CEO and founder of “Self Made” training facility and although massively successful to this day, it wasn’t always so. Growing up in a negative environment filled with violence and gangs, life was anything but easy.
Adding in the fact Miguel’s mother was a pathological liar with mental issues, his childhood was a montage of moving from place to place and struggling to find stability. At the age of 12 years old he was abandoned by his mother and by 16 abandoned by his step mother and became homeless with his younger brother.
Struggling to provide for himself and enduring soul sucking jobs, he eventually landed a position in the real estate industry where his worth ethic started to shine. After years of grinding, surviving and even succeeding in the 2008 crash, things seemed to be going well.
But after tough competition in the market, Miguel was forced to file bankruptcy. Despite the challenges he faced, he persevered and eventually made a name for himself within the fitness industry and has been changing the game ever since!

America, land of the free, home of the brave. Our great country is known around the world as the land of opportunity, where a person with grit, determination, and gusto can make a comfortable life for themselves through hard work and determination. Nothing quite says “I’ve arrived” as a classy custom car, and that is part of the reason why many Americans still pour their hard-earned dollars into tricking out vehicles near and dear to their heart.
Miguel Aguilar, a native son of SoCal, has worked hard his whole life. His many achievements include taking 1st place in the NPC Excalibur bodybuilding contest, starting his own real estate firm, and being a husband and father to two young daughters. The man is the epitome of self made, and to celebrate his success he commissioned a 1959 Chevy Impala convertible that definitely lets people know that Miguel has indeed arrived in style.
Introduced in 1957 as a 1958 model, the Chevy Impala immediately found sales success as Chevy’s top-end automobile. It came with all the fins, chrome, bells, and whistles you’d expect from a late 50s Chevrolet. Yet just one year after its introduction, the Impala was dramatically restyled as part of GM’s economizing its lineup.
Miguel saw fit not to mess too much with perfect, leaving the body and styling of this 1959 Impala intact, except he opted for a set of custom Intro wheels to round out the stance. The Impala was restored by Ultimate Hydraulics, who also added airbags to all four corners to allow the Impala to skate along the streets just inches off the ground.
That isn’t the only suspension upgrade the self-made Impala got; a 9-inch Ford rear end replaces the stock setup, as well as four-wheel disc brakes. But the real heart of this beast is under the hood, where a LS2 V8 engine replaces one of seven different V8 engine setups the ‘59 Impala came with. With 385 horsepower on tap, the LS2 V8 is worlds away a superior engine, offering this big old Chevy plenty of power to motivate it down the road.
There is no supercharger, nitrous, or hidden turbo system here; while powerful, this LS2 engine seems perfectly content with cruising duties. Perhaps that is why Miguel opted to keep the interior looking stock, though it has been updated with newer seats and of course a classy audio system. Our favorite feature though is the custom Dakota Digital dashboard that keeps the outline of the original gauges, but replaces them with something thoroughly 21st century.
All too often, we come across cars that are either half-baked, as though the builders gave up at some point or overdone to the point where less becomes more. Miguel’s 1959 Impala however, is a refreshing look at the right details that make for a great cruiser and adding a few modern amenities that do nothing to detract from the classic look and feel of a chromed-out masterpiece of automotive design. Job well done Miguel, we can’t wait to see what’s next!
