NASM Certified Personal Trainer in Costa Mesa, CA
I was underweight for my age growing up. By junior year in high school, I began my interest with fitness. I started my journey at a local gym making changes to my physique while learning the power of food and exercise. Through trial and error and many master coaches later, I found myself inspired to compete in the sport of bodybuilding. I was in the sport of competitive bodybuilding for 10 years, mastering the craft of gaining muscle and losing fat in the fastest way possible. The strength of my mind became stronger through such a disciplined lifestyle. With this passion I entered the career of personal training. Working 10+ years and eventually ranking 1 in the nation at Golds Gym. With the reputation I built, I’ve had the privilege of working with celebrities, CEO’s, founders, athletes, artists, marines, influencers, models, managers and hundreds of people all ages. Fast forward, I’ve built amazing relationships, transformations and am now the owner of this beautiful Costa Mesa facility in what we call Self Made. My goal is to make fitness fun and enjoyable while retaining the goal of what YOU want. I believe fitness is a beautiful thing and necessity in our health. My goal is to want you to look amazing, but also FEEL AMAZING Starting a journey especially in our fitness can be intimidating but I promise you, if you’re hungry and willing to do the work, you will get what you want.

Some highlights of my career achievements include: -Reversing diabetes -Promoting positive mental stability -Reversing alcohol addiction -100+ physical transformations -17,000+ sessions serviced
Craig Mahle – ACSM Certified Trainer in Costa Mesa
Hi my name is Craig Mahle, I’ve grown up around and within sports all my life, from an early age focusing on baseball, basketball and football and slowly grew out of them and found myself years later unhappy with the way I felt and looked.
It was then, 9 years ago when I decided to hire a personal trainer and get myself back. it was him that truly changed my life to what it is now. He always preached work ethic, discipline and to live your life on your terms and do something you love to do. I ended up training about 2 years with him lost about 30 lbs and then we decided to shift our efforts and train for a men’s physique show. In the process of that i was able to not only get in the best shape of my life but, also i was as strong as I’ve ever been mentally . It was from that moment on I found my passion in being able to help others in the way he helped me. I would find myself at the gym and people would ask me for tips on what to do, what I ate, what my training regiment was or how to do certain movements and I found it very fulfilling to be able to help others.
It’s been about 7 years since then and i continue to do what i love day in and day out, not only transforming peoples body but also their minds and making health and fitness a lifestyle.
I truly believe it starts from within and it transcends to all other aspects of your life “if you feel good , look good, do good”

NASM Certified Personal Trainer in Orange County, California
When I signed up for training my main priority at the time was just losing weight. I didn’t know anything about counting macros, nor strength training, & lifting, but I’ve grown to love it. Although I still want to drop some body fat, I’m more interested in building muscle now. My overall eating habits have also improved so much since I started training. I’ve learned how to track calories/macros & how to prioritize protein. Fueling my body with food, has also made it possible to lift heavier & hit PRs.
“Glayol is hands down the best trainer I’ve ever had! She’s tailored my workouts specifically to meet my short term goals (looking reasonable in my bathing suit in two months) and taking into account my pre-existing knee injury (torn meniscus). There’s something magical about her training method because I have yet to feel pain in my knee after a workout nor does my body feel overly sore from the workouts. In fact, my knee seems stronger. Glayol is fun to workout with and an excellent listener and motivator who pushes me beyond my own perceived weight lifting boundaries. Hiring Glayol is the best investment I have made in myself. I highly recommend Glayol and look forward to getting back in shape with her as my trainer.”
“I’ve lost 20 lbs in under 5 months, while training with Glayol. I won’t lie & say it’s been easy, but it’s definitely been worth it. G has always kept it real since the beginning. She’s very understanding, but will also let it be known if you’re not following directions. As long as you put in the work & follow her recommendations, you’ll see the results.”
“I struggled with being overweight for years & was tired of losing & gaining the same 10 lbs every year. I contemplated working with a personal trainer for a long time, I was scared of the cost & committing to a lifestyle change. But training with Glayol has honestly been the best investment I’ve made.”
“I’ve had a few struggles throughout this journey, but Glayol has always been very helpful. She takes the time to explain things in detail, & makes sure that you really understand what she’s saying.”

Josh Sanchez – NESTA Personal Trainer
My name is Josh and I’m 35 years young 😉 I’ve been weight lifting for over 20 years and have gone through quite the fitness/life journey. In short, I was skinny growing up and was made fun of, but then grew into a man that no one would ever make fun of now. I now help others gain that same POWER with their body and mind. I’ve been sponsored, on a magazine cover, and have been in incredible shape that most won’t ever achieve….but then I lost it all. I was in a car accident that completely flipped my life upside down. I fractured my L5 in multiple places, severe lateral recess narrowing with likely impingement of my L5 nerve root, left sub particular disc extrusion, and a 7mm hole causing havoc on my nerves to name the main issues. I couldn’t walk for 2 months, had to learn had to walk with my left leg again, and then crutch everywhere for 6-7 more months. I lost myself for awhile during that time but all those challenges help me be a better man, coach, and father today. That accident was over 4 years ago and I would never change a thing. I can’t back squat or deadlift ever again, or lift as heavy as I want, but I’m alive and able to walk again and do what I love. Training others helps me get a piece of that life back by seeing others achieve things daily, weekly, and yearly that they never thought they could. Fitness is a platform you can use to reach people who may need that added strength outside the gym. Happy to help others make GAINZ in body and mind!

MY TRANSITION
Lindsay Schneider – Hypertrophy Coach & Glute Specialist
| Hypertrophy Coach & Glute Specialist |
My name is Lindsay Schneider, and I am a certified National Academy of Sports Medicine Personal Trainer. With over a decade’s worth of experience in the gym, it is my goal to guide and support you through your own personal transformation, inside and out! I personally got into weightlifting over 13 years ago, originally serving as a mental outlet to deal with the many stressors of life, it is now a large part of my life and has shaped me into the woman I am today. Consistent exercise through weightlifting has instilled great discipline in myself, is incredibly empowering and has brought calming mental clarity with every workout.
Physical exercise has been proven to be a powerful tool for personal development. Any tension, dissatisfaction or anxiety felt in the body is just energy- energy that what we want to release by literally moving it through the body via exercise. Personally, I find that weightlifting is the absolute best modality to release this energy, as it increases mental focus and clarity (internal) while actually building and sculpting your physique (external). I truly believe that a commitment to routine exercise is one of the fundamental building blocks to a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. It can quite literally transform your internal and external state. I want nothing more than to see my clients transform their bodies and achieve their goals, even goals they may have thought are out of reach, while working with me.
I teach my clients proper weightlifting form, techniques and tempo, resulting in increased confidence in the gym and everyday life. My area of focus when working with clients is weightlifting and I specialize in lower body strength, power and hypertrophy with an emphasis on glute development. I strive to teach my clients mind to body connection, so ultimately, they are able to understand and intuitively know what their body wants and needs. With patience consistency and hard work, I am here to guide you to achieve and exceed your goals!
