Hey there! My name is Valeria Martin, and I am a female trainer in Chino Hills. I began my fitness journey at a young age, and I was inspired to become a personal trainer so that I could empower others to take charge of their health and well-being. With a mission to help women achieve their health and fitness goals as a Lifestyle Mentor. I offer a range of trainings including HIIT workouts, Power Lifting, Cardio, Private Training, Weight Loss, and Strength And Conditioning, with a focus on both mental and physical health. As a Lifestyle Mentor, I have seen firsthand how exercise can transform a person’s life, and I am committed to helping you become stronger and healthier in all aspects of your life.
One of the things I love most about my job is seeing the positive changes in my clients. Whether they come to me looking to lose weight, gain muscle, or simply feel better about themselves, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. With my expertise and guidance, you will become stronger, both physically and mentally. You will walk taller, with a newfound confidence and sense of purpose, and radiate a glow that is unmistakable.
To achieve your health and fitness goals, commitment is key. When a client comes to me for help, I ask them to commit to the process. That means showing up for their workouts, following the nutrition plan we create together, and being open to feedback and guidance along the way. If you do your job as a client, I promise to do my job as a trainer, which is to provide you with the knowledge, support, and motivation you need to succeed.
I firmly believe that if a client is willing to put in the work, there will be promised results. This might mean seeing improvements in your strength and endurance, losing weight, or simply feeling better in your own skin. Whatever your goals may be, we will work together to achieve them.
Of course, every person is unique, and everyone’s journey will look different. Some people may see results quickly, while others may need more time and patience. That’s why I take a personalized approach to training, creating individualized plans that are tailored to your specific needs and goals.
At the end of the day, my goal as a trainer is to empower all my clients to take charge of their health and wellness. By working together as a team, we can achieve amazing things. I help you stay accountable and motivated, and I celebrate your victories with you every step of the way.
Ultimately, my goal as a Lifestyle Mentor is to help women achieve lasting health and wellness. I know that exercise is just one piece of the puzzle, which is why I also focus on nutrition, stress management, and other aspects of self-care. I believe that when we take care of our bodies and our minds, we can achieve anything we set our minds to. I am honored to be a part of that journey and look forward to helping you transform your life through fitness and wellness. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced athlete, I am here to help you reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.
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.
What’s up!
My name is Joseph Sena. I’ve been serving the West Covina and now Diamond Bar/Chino Hills area as a Master Personal Trainer for over 14 years. I absolutely love my career in fitness as helping others achieve their specific fitness goals is the most rewarding and fulfilling “job” I could imagine. This experience allows me to quickly assist my clients in identifying their specific fitness goals and efficiently design a program that will get them there. My specialties are program design for movement efficiency (correcting over and under-active muscles) , body transformation (turning fat into muscle-yes its possible!), muscle gain, and fat loss.

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.
Marianne Guzman – Personal Trainer
Hello! My name is Marianne. I began my fitness journey since 2014. I remember being so unhappy with my body, the way I looked and how I felt. I struggled with binge eating and drinking, which lead me to become overweight and tired all the time. I knew I had to make a change, if I wanted to do better. A new gym opened up in my area and I immediately signed up. I had friends who already had been working out for years and they taught me the basics with weight lifting and nutritional meal plans. I’ve learned so much over the years and continue to keep learning and growing. Since then, I have lost 35 pounds and able to keep it off. My love and passion for fitness and health is something I never take for granted anymore. If I can change my life to a healthier and balanced lifestyle, I know you can too!
My goal as a personal trainer is to help those who want to reach their fitness goals because of their ‘why’ and determination. Reach out to me if you have any questions! I would love to help you start your fitness journey!
Grace Chen – Certified Personal Trainer
Hi! My name is Grace. I started my fitness journey in 2014 not having a clue what I was doing but I had the desire to change. I started at 90 lbs and always struggled to gain weight and build some glutes. After years of trial and error, I’m now 35 lbs up and couldn’t be happier. Fitness has changed my life not just physically but mentally as well. Nothing can replace the satisfaction of physically and mentally pushing yourself to do something challenging.
Because of my journey I strive to share my knowledge and experience with people who also have that same desire to change but struggle knowing what to do. I always tell my clients it’s not going to be easy but it’s going to be worth it. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. So drink you’re f*cking water.
