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.
DESIREE BOURNE – Personal Trainer
My fitness journey started because I developed Auto Immune issues at an early adult age.
Weight gain and loss- losing 100lbs back and forth has been a lot on my body and mental health.
I know the struggle, and I know accountability, discipline and kindness is what’s needed to succeed.
Competing in my first Body Building Wellness Competition at age 34 and placing 1st- the peak of my fitness journey- made me want to help others.
I am also a certified Yoga and Meditation Instructor, with holistic spiritual practices. I like to help connect the Mind, Body and Spirit.
