So a little background…After much time working in the nightlife and hitting rock bottom in what seemed in all aspects of life, I discovered my true calling in fitness and later in bodybuilding. This journey ignited a passion for competing, leading me to become the first American wellness competitor to compete in the division,and eventually,becoming an IFBB Pro. I have over 8 years of experience, training and learning under some of the best coaches in the sport and industry. I’ve dedicated myself to helping clients achieve diverse goals - from weight loss and strength training to creating personalized meal plans and coaching in bodybuilding and lifestyle transformations. I also specialize in glute building as one of my services I’m sought after. Unlike a lot of athletes and trainers, I didn’t Come from a long history of athletics, I discovered fitness as an outlet from a lifestyle that was not serving me. I know what it feels like to be new to the gym, to not feel good enough, dealing with negative self talk… but I’ve built the confidence along the way to take my mind and body past my limiting beliefs. My approach goes beyond elevating physiques; it’s about enhancing mental well-being and building self-confidence, helping clients thrive both in body and mind.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

I am a fitness enthusiast turned fitness professional as a NASM certified personal coach. While I was never athletic as a child or teen, once I turned 18, I discovered the gym. This is when my love of fitness began. Throughout the years my workouts took on different forms depending on my stage of life. Whether it was during the college years, marriage, motherhood, and even during my career as a social worker, my fitness and health has always been a priority. In my 40's I decided to make it official and started my career in fitness. Now that I'm 50, it is even more important to continue on this fitness journey I am on. If you are in your mid-life years, you know what I mean. I love helping my clients of all ages with their fitness goals because I have been there. My experience has led me to not only coach 1:1 but also to a wider audience through group fitness classes. I have instructed an array of different formats throughout my career, including aqua fitness, barre, Les Mills BodyPump, HIIT, Silver Sneakers, and Core. When I am not clients or teaching classes, I stay active by hiking, snowboarding and sometimes a nice run with either my husband or one of my 3 kids. Faith, Family and Fitness is how I try to live my life to the fullest.

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.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title="CHECK OUT MY INSTAGRAM" color="danger" size="lg" align="center" i_icon_fontawesome="fab fa-instagram" button_block="true" add_icon="true" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Finstagram.com%2Fmarissa_almendarez%3Figshid%3DYjNmNGQ3MDY%3D"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
