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,

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.
