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.

I was born and raised in Northern Kentucky moving to San Marcos with my family.

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.

Fitness Entrepreneurship: Work Hard and Travel the World – Unlocking Freedom and Flexibility in the Fitness Space
Question: Can I still travel and work my own schedule if I want to be a Personal Training Entrepreneur?
Absolutely! Being an entrepreneur in the fitness space can provide you with unique opportunities to work hard and enjoy the benefits of flexibility, including traveling. As a fitness entrepreneur, you have the freedom to set your own schedule and create a business that aligns with your passion for fitness and wellness.
Here are a few reasons why being an entrepreneur in the fitness space can offer you the ability to work hard and enjoy traveling:
- Flexibility in your schedule: As an entrepreneur, you have the ability to design your own schedule. This means you can set aside time for work and also prioritize personal activities such as traveling. You can schedule your work around your travel plans, allowing you to explore new places while still managing your business.
- Online presence and remote work: Many fitness entrepreneurs have embraced the online space to reach a wider audience. By offering online fitness programs, coaching, or creating digital products, you can work from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection. This allows you to continue serving your clients and growing your business while on the go.
- Business collaborations and networking opportunities: As you grow your fitness business, you may have the opportunity to collaborate with other fitness professionals or attend industry events and conferences. These events often take place in different locations, giving you the chance to combine business networking with travel experiences.
- Fitness retreats and workshops: As an entrepreneur in the fitness space, you may have the opportunity to organize or participate in fitness retreats or workshops. These events are often held in scenic locations and provide a unique opportunity to work hard while enjoying the benefits of travel yourself.
While being an entrepreneur in the fitness space does offer flexibility and the potential to travel, it’s important to remember that entrepreneurship requires hard work and dedication. Building and running a successful business takes time, effort, and continuous learning. However, with the right mindset and planning, you can create a fulfilling career that allows you to work hard and enjoy the freedom to travel.
Wishing you success on your entrepreneurial journey in the fitness space!

2. Know your target audience: Understand your target audience’s demographics, interests, and behaviors. This knowledge will help you create content that resonates with them and choose the right platforms to reach them effectively.
3. Select the right platforms: Choose social media platforms that align with your target audience and goals. Focus your efforts on platforms where your audience is most active and where your content can thrive. For example, if you’re targeting a younger demographic, platforms like Instagram or TikTok might be more suitable.
4. Create valuable content: Develop high-quality, valuable, and engaging content that aligns with your brand and target audience’s interests. Mix up your content formats, such as images, videos, blog posts, infographics, or user-generated content, to keep your feed varied and interesting.
5. Consistency is key: Be consistent in your posting schedule to maintain a regular presence on social media. Consistency helps build trust with your audience and keeps them engaged. Use social media management tools to schedule and automate your posts.
