Jackie Castillo – Booty Building, & Mind-Body Wellness

Hi! I’m Jackie Castillo, and I’m deeply passionate about fitness, wellness, self-improvement, and creating a supportive community. My fitness journey began in 2018 when I was in college, feeling lost and uncertain about my purpose. I believed that fitness held the key to confidence and clarity, and I set out on a path to discover this for myself.

When I first started, I was clueless. My workouts were simple, revolving around the treadmill and stairmaster. It was a time when women embracing weight training was becoming popular on social media. I’ll never forget the moment that changed everything for me: walking by a woman who looked amazing and radiated confidence. I thought to myself, “I want to look like that.”

With determination, I dove into weightlifting, even though my form was far from perfect. I kept pushing forward, continuously seeking ways to improve. Through trial and error, dedication, and a relentless drive to better myself, I transformed not just my body, but also my mindset. Fitness became more than just a physical activity; it became a source of empowerment and self-discovery.

Today, my mission revolves around empowering women to achieve their fitness goals and build their confidence. My specialties include weight training, enhancing those glutes, and toning the body to help you look and feel your absolute best. I understand the challenges and uncertainties that come with starting a fitness journey because I’ve been there. That’s why I’m dedicated to providing personalized guidance and support to each of my clients.

Whether you’re looking to build an hourglass figure, strengthen your body, or enhance your overall wellness, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll push boundaries, break barriers, and unlock the best version of you—both mentally and physically. Join me, and let’s start this journey to confidence and wellness together.

Kalani Martinez – Nutrition Specialist and PT

Hi my name is Kalani and I am a personal trainer and nutrition specialist here in Chino Hills.

I have obtained my degree in 2021 with a bachelors degree of nursing. Therefore I have spent an extensive amount of time learning and educating myself about the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Therefore, I believe it is important to know the muscles and how to target them during our workouts. I also spent an extensive amount of time learning about the nutritional aspect of working out. It’s important to fuel your body with nutritious foods so that you are able to perform and improve your health overall.

A little bit about me: I’ve been an athlete all my life since I was a child. I’ve done all the sports, you name it and I probably have done it. Once high school ended I realized that I missed the opportunity to workout so I started to get personal training and it has changed my life. I want to be able to give that opportunity back to others and help them stay accountable and motivated.

Yes, I want my girls to look amazing and get the confidence that they deserve. But I also want to make sure you are healthy internally also. I’m here to help others and to give the knowledge I have received so that I am able to make a difference in someone else’s life.

Check out my Instagram page and feel free to direct message me if you have any questions! I look forward to meeting you.

Marissa Almendarez – Personal Trainer

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.

Melody Soto – Empowering Busy Women Through Fitness

Certified Personal Trainer – Hey! I’m Melody Soto! And I’m a certified personal trainer, nutritionist, with background in athletic training. I help women understand their body, mind, & soul through fitness! Throughout my fitness journey I have realized that countless women including myself struggle with feeling confident and sexy in their own skin. This is very common whether it has to do with weight loss, gaining healthy muscle mass, or understanding nutrition. Before I became a personal trainer, I absolutely hated my body and everything about myself. I used to starve myself to fit in with friends and not eat in public because I was embarrassed someone would judge me. After years of neglecting my body I decided to make a change by focusing all my energy on bringing the life back into myself. I became a personal trainer to show women that the gym is a judgement free zone where you can work on yourself and become the most beautiful, authentic, and proud woman you’re meant to be.My approach to fitness is very different compared to others. I personally love to focus on your own nutritional balance and understanding your own body. I like to take the time to rebuild your metabolism as well as teaching you how to properly track/ calculate your foods. Everyone’s body is completely different and responds differently to certain foods, with this knowledge I help you understand your body type and what we can change to achieve your goals. I like to say that “ 80% of what we’re doing relies on nutrition, the other 20% is the fun part (working out)”. With the proper balance of food and workouts throughout the week you can overcome anything.I tailor all of my programs whether In person or online to YOUR specific goals. I include weight training, HIIT, combine with cardio to increase overall health and wellness. With my support, you will learn new technique, skills, and ways to improve your metabolism throughout this process. If you’re a full time student, mother, nurse or business owner I can teach you how to effectively manage your time and achieve those goals you’ve always wanted.If you’re ready to make the change, I’m here for you in every way shape and form! Let me help you embrace the new healthy version of yourself. I’m looking forward to meeting you and helping you through this new journey in life!
