SMTF Franchise Owners
Working out was my happy place before I decided to start my career in the fitness industry. In 2011 I started personal training to help others make it theirs too. After working with so many different people at different phases in their lives, it really drove home the fact that healthy living has a lot of competition. Often the thing we can’t seem to find is balance.
I really wanted to move beyond just a workout and diet plan and use my personal experience to show how to live healthy and make sustainable changes to accomplish goals. Fitness is for life as long as you keep moving. I hope to keep doing so and help as many people as I can along the way.
In 2015, I cofounded an event, Climb for a Cure, that helped raise funds for stage iv metastatic breast cancer. This event later turned into a nonprofit, Make Good Moves. From 2015-2021 we were able to raise $100,000 and donate that towards research, awareness for stage iv MBC and provide assistance for patients and their families.
In 2019 I helped open up Self Made West Covina and in 2021 I took over partial ownership of Self Made Chino Hills in 2021.
Within those two locations I help run a team of close to 100 trainers. I mentor them to step out of the big box gyms and become successful entrepreneurs.
In 2022, I became a mom and attribute my healthy pregnancy and recovery to the lifestyle I have created since 2011. As an entrepreneur my titles have changed but my mission has not, helping others through health and fitness. I currently still work with a limited personal training clientele and co-host my own podcast and social events through, The Mixtape Talks Podcast.
Jim Cash – SMTF Columbus Owner
Owner
As a highly experienced strength and conditioning coach, I have dedicated my career to helping athletes and fitness enthusiasts of all levels to achieve their goals and optimize their physical performance. With over a decade of experience in personal training, I have developed a deep understanding of the human body and its capabilities, and I am committed to helping my clients move better, feel better, and look better Naked!
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with professional and collegiate athletes across a wide range of sports, including basketball, football, baseball, and track and field. By designing customized training programs tailored to each athlete’s unique strengths, weaknesses, and goals, I have helped them to achieve peak physical condition and perform at their best on game day.
In addition to working with athletes, I have also helped countless clients of all fitness levels to achieve their desired physique and improve their overall health and wellness. Whether they were looking to lose weight, build muscle, or simply improve their functional movement, I have leveraged my expertise and experience to design personalized training programs that deliver real results.
As owner of Self Made Training Facility Columbus, I have turned my focus to helping coaches develop their own business! I offer my time and energy to be a resource and mentor to each of the coaches on our roster. We provide the tools and support to allow our elite coaches to achieve financial freedom.
At the core of my approach to business is a deep commitment to understanding the unique needs and goals of each of my coaches and clients. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to fitness or business, and that the most effective programs are those that are tailored to each individual. By viewing each situation individually, I am able to help more people achieve their goals faster!
Whether you’re a coach wanting to make a name for yourself in the fitness industry, or an athlete looking to take your performance to the next level, I am here to help you achieve your goals. With my expertise and experience in strength and conditioning, as well as my dedication to continuously learning new business strategies, I am confident that I can help you unlock your full potential and achieve the lifestyle you’ve always wanted.

Owner
Hey there! My name is Jamil, and I’m the proud owner of Smtf Corona and Orange. My journey has always revolved around helping others and making a positive impact in my community – it’s my true passion and purpose in life.
Before diving into the world of entrepreneurship, I spent 8 and a half years in law enforcement. However, in 2015, I decided to embark on a new adventure and become a business owner. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of operating several businesses, including Smtf.
What makes Smtf so special is that we’re more than just a platform; we’re a catalyst for growth and success. We focus on supporting entrepreneurs and business owners in the health and fitness industry. By providing them with the resources and guidance they need, we help them expand their businesses and thrive.
But here’s the real magic: our impact doesn’t stop there. By empowering these business owners, we indirectly transform the lives of their athletes. Our approach has a ripple effect, as we help them not only achieve physical transformations but also foster mental and emotional growth.
I firmly believe that Smtf is in the business of making a difference and changing lives. That’s why I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a franchise owner. It allows me to contribute to something bigger than myself and be part of a community that shares the same vision of helping people and creating lasting transformations.

SMTF Franchise Owners
Hey there, I’m Dj, and I’m thrilled to share my journey with you. As a real estate broker and the proud owner of Self Made Training Facility South OC. I’ve always had a deep appreciation for helping others achieve their dreams. That’s what drew me to the world of real estate. There’s something incredibly rewarding about being a part of someone’s journey towards homeownership. Seeing the joy on my clients’ faces when they find their dream home and make it their own is an indescribable feeling. I’m driven by the desire to turn those dreams into reality, and that’s why I’m so dedicated to my work as a real estate broker.
But my passion doesn’t stop there. Along the way, I recognized another opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives. Through meeting our CEO Miguel Aguilar I realized that trainers needed a space where they could excel and help their clients become the best versions of themselves. That’s when I decided to dive into the gym industry and open Self Made Training Facility South OC.
My gym is more than just a place to work out; it’s a community built on empowerment and personal growth. I wanted to provide trainers with a supportive environment where they could inspire and transform their clients. Witnessing individuals unlock their true potential, overcome obstacles, and achieve their fitness goals brings me immense joy. It’s an honor to be part of their journey towards becoming the best version of themselves.
I’m driven by my love for helping people achieve their dreams of homeownership and my passion for empowering trainers and their clients in the fitness world. Together, through real estate and fitness, we can make dreams come true and create a positive impact in the lives of others.

Anthony Garcia is a true inspiration for overcoming adversity and achieving success. Growing up in Whittier, California, he faced the harsh realities of gang violence and addiction in his community. However, he refused to let these challenges define him and instead chose to pursue a different path.

Today, Anthony is a respected entrepreneur and leader in the health and fitness industry, serving as a shining example of what is possible when you refuse to give up on your dreams.
Damien was lost for so many years and could not find value in who he was. Fitness became a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth.

It also provided a sense of purpose and direction, as he worked towards achieving his health and fitness goals. Through fitness, he discovered hidden strengths and capabilities that he never knew he had, and he gained a greater appreciation for the incredible potential of his body and mind.

Marc Rodriguez – SMTF Dallas Owner
Owner
In July 2017, I retired from the United States Marine Corps after 21 years of service. Not knowing what I wanted to do next for a career, I took the path of obtaining a personal training certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). After obtaining 4 more specializations from NASM, I decided it was time to start a fitness business. In July 2017, I was introduced to one of the trainers at Self Made Training Facility in Temecula. I received a phone call from Miguel Aguilar, SMTF CEO, shortly after the introduction. After a brief conversation, I decided to become an independent contractor personal trainer at the Temecula location.
During this time, I grew my fitness business with clientele and revenue while still exploring many education avenues. I graduated from the University of Phoenix with a bachelor’s degree in business with a concentration in Marketing. Also, during this time, I took advantage of attending multiple seminars. In December 2019, I approached the SMTF CEO with an idea to take some of these seminars, named Self Made Academy, to the next level. When presented with the idea, the SMTF CEO named me the Director of Education for the corporation. Since then, there has been a partnership made between SMTF and many entities in regard to education I helped create.
From 2020 through 2022, I toured all 21 facilities, at least 2 times each (some facilities more than 2), and provided education seminars for over 1000 independent contractor personal trainers and franchise owners within each facility. I gained more partnerships with educational resources for SMTF and provided guidance to all. During this time, I aspired to be a franchise owner and decided upon Self Made Training Facility Dallas to be my first. I also created a personal trainer school named Manifest Fitness Institute which will be partnered with Self Made Training Facility Corporation. This resident school will be the first of its kind, educating, certifying, and creating independent contractor personal trainers through many different resources. In August 2022, my family and I moved to Texas to grow exponentially with Self Made Training Facility and Manifest Fitness Institute by purchasing Self Made Training Facility Dallas.

Miguel Aguilar – SMTF Temecula – Corporate Location – Founder of Self Made Training
President & CEO
Born into adversity, facing abandonment, incarceration, and homelessness, I am a living testament to the power of resilience and the transformative potential of wrestling and health and fitness. My name is Miguel Angel Aguilar, and I have overcome immense challenges to become a beacon of success and inspiration in the realms of real estate and personal training.
At the tender age of 12, my world shattered when my mother abandoned me. Subsequently, my father was incarcerated, leaving me to navigate life’s treacherous waters alone. With nowhere to turn, I found myself cast out by my stepmother, plunging into homelessness. It was during these dark times that I discovered wrestling, which served as my refuge and my guiding light. Wrestling instilled in me the unyielding mindset to never quit, even in the face of the greatest adversities.
Harnessing the strength and discipline I cultivated from wrestling, I propelled myself forward. I embarked on a remarkable journey, transcending the limitations imposed upon me by societal norms. From becoming a successful real estate agent to owning my own brokerage, Self Made Real Estate, I seized every opportunity to rise above my circumstances.
In 2014, fueled by my unwavering passion for personal training, I revolutionized the industry by creating Self Made Training Facility. Born out of a deep desire to provide trainers with the tools, education, and entrepreneurship skills necessary to excel, Self Made Training Facility swiftly evolved into a national brand. We leave no room for error, offering comprehensive resources and fostering a community where personal trainers can thrive.

Francis & Rosy Ofili – SMTF Fortworth Owners
Owners
Francis and his wife, Rosy, are the owners of Self-Made Fort Worth. They are also real estate investors and developers and the founders and owners of a corporate consulting company. They understand the importance of being entrepreneurs. They know the importance of helping you be your own boss; starting and maintaining a business is a rewarding experience not for the faint of heart, but it all starts with you being uncomfortable in your comfort zone.
With over 15 years in corporate America helping companies be more efficient, improving processes, and eliminating waste and impediments, Francis has always had a mind for continuous improvement. With a research-centric background, he loves exploring the driving force behind human behaviors. With a master’s degree in clinical psychology, a second master’s in business administration with a concentration in finance, and a plethora of certifications, Francis is able to combine his educational background into a career of helping businesses improve through lean optimization and value-driven results.
“As far back as I can remember, from my adolescence to adulthood, I have been involved in one way or another in improving people around me. From friends and families to Fortune 100 companies, my aim has always been to leave you better than when you met me. So, it is no surprise that I gravitated towards being the corporate consultant who comes in to get the company back on track.
Fitness, on the other hand, has been my escape and something that helps me focus and get back on track. Since high school, when I chose a bench press machine over a PlayStation for my birthday gift, working out and leading a healthy lifestyle have been embedded in me. I will go on to work as a personal trainer through my undergrad years, but as I started graduate school, I was faced with the tough choice of focusing on a very rigorous and demanding graduate program or continuing my journey in fitness. I couldn’t give my all to both. I chose my education but made a promise to myself to return to fitness and one day open my own gym. Understanding the importance of balance and applying it to your life is an essential struggle that most of the population deals with daily. I have a track record of understanding the need for that balance and guiding both individuals and companies to find and apply balance.”
Rosy has always had a passion for the well-being of others. With her master’s degree in personality and developmental psychology, she focuses on inborn traits and the development of cognitive and behavioral patterns that influence how we think and act. She has always had a unique approach to bringing out the best in others when they feel like quitting. She has been a certified personal trainer for over eight years, specializing in HIIT, plyometrics, mobility, and geriatric conditioning. “As someone who has a background in mental health, is a realtor, and is a nurse, I indubitably believe that health is wealth; do what makes you happy; and practice body positivity. I look forward to cultivating a family atmosphere and a culture of growth and inclusivity here at SMTF Fort Worth, TX. Let’s make it happen, team.”
As the owners of Self-Made Fort Worth, we will focus on helping you develop and grow your career as a personal trainer or coach. Equip you with tools to be successful and help you cultivate an attitude of relentless improvement and growth both in your career as a trainer and in your personal life as you journey towards financial independence.
