Derek Johnson – Personal Trainer in Temecula

Hello, my name is Derek Johnson. I was born in Oakland, California in May of 1981, and moved to Southern California at the age of 18. I joined the Marine Corps and was stationed in 29 Palms, California, which was not the most pleasant place to live.
After serving in Iraq in 2003, 1 moved to Okinawa, Japan for a short period before leaving the military in 2007. I have been settled in Temecula, where I still enjoy living today despite all this heat out here.

Fitness has always been an essential part of my life. I played basketball and swam in high school and became a martial arts instructor in the Marine Corps. I’ve been passionate about powerlifting for a long time and have since added Olympic lifting to my repertoire. I am certified to coach both, as I enjoy the technicality of the heavy lifts. Recently, I also ventured into bodybuilding, and became an IFBB Pro in the classic division. I work out six days a week, for two hours or more each day. As a personal trainer, I love helping people of all ages, from 9 to 79, achieve their fitness goals, whether it’s powerlifting, Olympic lifting, bodybuilding, strength and conditioning, or lifestyle changes. I’m easy to talk to and always have a smile on my face. Let me help you reach your fitness goals and feel great about yourself!

Working from home meant we could vary snack and coffee breaks, change our desks or view, goof off, drink on the job, even spend the day in pajamas

I'm Kayla Kassis, an ELITE Online Personal Trainer based at the Self Made Training Facility HQ in Temecula, California, servicing online clientele all across the United States. My unwavering passion revolves around empowering individuals on their journey for peak health and fitness. I do this by seamlessly integrating effective physical training with mindful, flexible dietary choices to encourage a healthy nutritional lifestyle that includes the things you love to eat. I am here to help you build a lifestyle, not a temporary diet with temporary results. I firmly believe that harmonizing these two vital components is the key to sustainable and transformative results in your fitness journey!At just 21 years old, I bring over 7 years of dedicated weight training experience and more than two years as an Elite Personal Trainer to the table. My own odyssey in the fitness industry emerged from grappling with disordered eating and a struggle to cultivate self-love. If you're reading this, you might relate to this journey of self-improvement.In May 2018, I consciously adopted a vegetarian lifestyle, eventually transitioning to full veganism by January 2022. Recently, I've enriched my diet with lean fish options, offering tailored guidance to individuals with diverse dietary preferences, whether you lean towards omnivorous or herbivorous choices.Throughout my personal fitness transformation, I shed approximately 30 pounds initially. However, my focus evolved beyond just shedding body weight. I now prioritize a comprehensive approach that includes optimizing muscle mass, managing body fat percentage, and most importantly builds SELF-LOVE. What started as a means to enhance my physical and mental well-being blossomed into an unwavering passion to help others on their own journeys.My journey ultimately led me to become a certified trainer. My motivation was twofold: to share my deep love for fitness and to motivate like-minded individuals, particularly during those challenging days when motivation lacks. I recognize that everyone encounters obstacles, but I'm here to guide you beyond those mental limitations.As you can see, nutrition and a great relationship with food is huge for me. As for my coaching style, I focus on weightlifting and strength and conditioning training to coach a majority of my clients. Whether you're looking to lose weight, put weight on in a healthy way, get stronger, get faster, or even learn about fitness and where it lies for you in your life, I am the trainer for you and I would love to be your support system through the whole process.For me, fitness became a healthy outlet, and I firmly believe it can be your lifeline too. If you're in search of a dedicated, experienced personal trainer who emphasizes the pivotal synergy between nutrition and physical fitness, you've found your partner in progress. Together, we can march on a path towards a healthier, happier you, and achieve the lasting results you desire in your health and fitness journey.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
