It's a great gym, just this new employee tall black guy is not friendly to anyone, he's got a really bad attitude with everyone. Not professional at all. He doesn't even greet anyone or say hello to them. I'm read more

I've been coming here since late May and training with LT. There's not enough stars to describe my coach, the ambiance, the facility, and most importantly the people and other trainers as well. Joining this gym and training with LT are 2 of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only have I noticed physical gains I have also noticed substantial improvements to my confidence and mental health as a whole, which are much more important to me than my appearance. Your health begins between the ears and as coach Jordyn preaches, it's Mind over Muscle. Courtney has an absolute amazing team and her head trainer Bryce has made time for me and answered questions when I was unsure of how to properly use a piece of equipment. When I first walked in, I spoke with John, I explained to him my needs and my goals, and he pointed me right to LT , which I'm very very grateful for. In my experience with other gyms, the trainers will usually try to fake it till they make it just to sign up a new client, but this was not the case here. If you're looking for an amazing gym with phenomenal people, and you want to learn self-defense in the process, get your membership here and sign up with LT. If self-defense is not what you're looking for, check out their website, look through all the trainers, as it appears each one of them specializes in different avenues of fitness. read more

HANNAH ZEREBNY is my girl !! She is so smart and knowledgeable when it comes to all things fitness and weight lifting! I love her individual approach and that she really tailors the workouts to your body and your specific goals! I've truly never had a trainer who cares so much and is my biggest cheerleader! Well don't get me wrong she can be tough too though when needed! She is great at keeping me accountable without being pushy. As a mom I have a hard time staying consistent and she has really helped me to get back on track! Can't recommend her enough ! ps: When i'm a little farther i'll post my before and afters! But i've already gained muscle and lost fat with her!! read more

Best online trainers I've ever had. Hoooly moly do Alicia and Corey kick my butt!! I've done X3 eight week programs with them in their trainer jones challenge format, and I've not only lost over 15 pounds, but have dropped from a large to a medium in everything, have put on so much lean muscle, and feel on top of the world. Their programming is seriously amazing!!! And of you put in the work and follow through with it your body WILL make some crazy changes. Plus- my husband has been doing one on one training with Corey online for the past 3 months, and he's gained more muscle than he can believe! He looks so good, and it makes me so proud. Honestly you can't go wrong with these two! I trust them entirely read more

My review is for my trainer Tanya (: she's honestly the best around.. she's super nice, motivating, and all around amazing person.. was looking for a trainer for awhile and had one before here but I was not happy and didn't ever feel motivated to actually continue with training.. it was just boring.. and never felt like I was achieving any of my goals.. Tanya actually listens to what you want to achieve and is very upfront with you what is realistic .. she motivates you to be your best and every session is always fun and different and never gets boring.. if you need a trainer she's the one (: check out her Instagram @tanya.Avalos... so excited to continue working with her. read more

I have been going to Self Made Training Facility in San Marcos for just under a year now. They are a great local facility that keeps members needs first and foremost. They are clean, organized and have a excellent variety of equipment! I have been training with Mike Cardosa for almost 11 years and he is the best trainer ever! Excellent program for weight training and cardio training. Amazing ideas on food prep and diet analysis too. Couldn't ask for a better gym, close to home, cardio and weights with the best trainer ever.  He works around my schedule and a mom of 2 really appreciates that! Highly recommend!!! They also have a full body scan machine which is an excellent way to track your progress and continually improve. #mustseemike read more

This facility is state of the art. They have everything you need to move towards tour fitness goals. Quality training programs you can do one on one in person in a safe clean environment. They have programs you can do from home for now if that's preferable to you. As a single mom who home schools now not out of choice this is a fantastic feature.

For a while I'd been doing the same old workouts and not really enjoying going to the gym as much as I used to. I decided to turn to a personal trainer to bring focus back to my workout routine. I set up an appointment with Daisy Mollica at Self Made in San Marcos and was extremely impressed. The facility itself is very clean & there is a wide variety of equipment to perform a broad range of exercises. As for Daisy, the entire interaction met and exceeded my expectations. She was professional and friendly, but also firm yet encouraging with the workout she created for me. She was incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in what exercises would get the desired results. By far, it was the best chest workout I've ever had. Since my initial visit I've been letting my friends know about Self Made & I'm excited to go back and check out another tailored workout from Daisy. read more

I followed The Jones for awhile on Instagram and I kept seeing their clients keep shrinking. I decided that I wanted to shrink too so I decided to join. I honestly can say I love how much they put their hearts into everybody. They care and it shows. I am extremely happy I joined this bootcamp challenge. read more

Self Made is by far my favorite place I have ever worked out at! I have had memberships at many other facilities and none of those places compare to Self Made! There are multiple reasons why I chose to initially start working out at Self Made but the reasons why I stayed were; personalized and individual attention when it comes to work outs and meal plans, the cleanliness of the gym is outstanding and the staff has all been so welcoming and friendly, this has not only made me feel extremely comfortable but also very motivated to continue working out at Self Made! I see Coach Mike & Coach Karen. They have really become more than just coaches and such special people in my life. If you are looking to build muscle and also build great relationships with some amazing people... choose Self Made! read more

Self Made training faculty is honestly just plain genius!! Nothing beats working out in a gym facility where theres no judgement, looky lous or wasted time of people chit chatting. Why? Because everyone there has made the decision to have a personal trainer that cares about your goals! I'm lucky enough to have finally started training with Alicia Jones! She really listens to your initial goals and some how inspires you to set the next once your goal is reached! I've lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks just by following her meal and work out plan made JUST for me. I'm super picky with food, so when I received her meal plan and put to action I was pleasantly surprised that everything she picked for me tasted awesome and didn't leave me starving for more! Her assigned work out sessions are geared to exactly what I was looking for! She provided work outs that hit more then one muscle group that could be completed within 1 hour! This is just simply a MUST for a mommy of 2 that works full time! My husband also signed up for training with Alicia's husband Corey Jones and couldn't be more excited to see our transformation from this full of heart, inspirational fit couple! read more

I've had the fortunate opportunity to access this gym and a few of its trainers, as well as attend weekly boot camps. I've never felt so comfortable in a gym before. It's clean, it has all the equipment you need, the trainers know what they're doing, everyone is encouraging (trainers and clients), and really does have that family feel. I've been a client via the online challenges, which I can say are worth every penny, and have enjoyed the workouts, the group support, the accountability, the relationships formed as a result, and the progress in my physical and mental health. I HIGHLY recommend Alicia and Corey's challenges, and could, with 100% confidence, say that all trainers here know what they're doing. There is a trainer for any and all here. You're in good hands. read more

I've been training with team jones since 2016. Not only are these two the most professional training couple I know, they run a gym that is clean, well maintained, and welcoming. I would recommend this facility, the owners, and any trainer that works there. Go check them out!! You won't be disappointed!! read more

Went in to check our pricing and programs. Waited 10 minutes and nobody was at the front desk, nor did anyone come to assist us. We finally left. read more

I started coming here 2/16/18... so I'm still fairly new but I love this gym so far. I'm working with Nicole twice a week. We both love dogs and her rates I found to be very affordable. She makes me do things that I don't like such as battle ropes and planks but I know she means well, Lol. I also always wanted to flip big tires for some reason & they have that here. Anyway, I plan to continue with her and I hope to update my review with stats at a later date! Nicole likes doing HIIT workouts and super sets with her clients. read more

Self Made offers a wide variety of trainers, all of them poses different skill sets pertaining to fitness. That being said; whatever your fitness goals are, they can be attained by walking in the door and finding the trainer that best suits your needs. I recommend getting in there and getting after it. read more

I love this facility! Everyone is so friendly & helpful. It's one of the cleanest gyms I've ever stepped into, my trainer wipes each piece of equipment before I use it. Unlike many other places that charge you to use & clean their equipment. Ever since the new change in ownership the vibe in the gym is so upbeat and positive you can feel it when you walk in. Everyone says hi & you can tell that it's a family type of atmosphere in this place. Self made San Marcos is the first gym that I feel comfortable in, no gawking or weirdos making inappropriate eye contact. If you want to truly improve your health without feeling judged then this is your place! Highly recommended! read more

Great atmosphere, such a clean and private facility to train clients ! Great personal training rates , with exceptional trainers available. Ask for Mike or Courtney read more

Self Made Training Facility San Marcos is the best gym I have ever been apart of. I have been training here for Seven months now. This gym is incredible in every way. The owners Steve & Kyle are some really awesome guys, very nice and knowledgable gentlemen. All of the Trainers here are very professional but also very nice and welcoming, it makes this gym a great time to come and train at. You need to come and meet each and every trainer in person to find your perfect match. The facility itself is gorgeous and has every piece of top of the line training equipment you would ever need. I have been Training with @luismontoyafit for four weeks and he is getting me some amazing results. Thank you Self Made Training Facility San Marcos for opening an amazing gym in this amazing town. read more

I have really enjoyed working out at Self Made - San Marcos for over a half a year now. The facility is really nice with tons of nice equipment, and everything you could possibly need to workout. Self Made's color scheme of red and black is really cool and it's awesome how all of the gym equipment is a matching color. The owners, Kyle and Steve are really nice guys, and so are all of the trainees who work there! Everyone there is an expert at fitness and well versed in the industry. My trainer, @luismontoyafit, is a great coach and motivational human being! I look forward to continually reaching my goals at Self Made! If you are looking for a great workout facility, then look no further! read more

I started going to self made about 3 weeks ago for personal training! My trainer Clarissa Perez is AMAZING! She is always prepared, knowledgeable, and has great energy!

I've been working with a personal trainer at Self Made, Lincoln Marti, for about 4 months now. I came to him originally wanting to do my first bikini competition. His knowledge and expertise are phenomenal. His workout programs and nutrition plan will get you every result you ask for. He not only helped to get me into the best shape I've been in since college, but he also reignited a drive in me that I thought I had lost long ago. I will continue to work with him because I now have new goals and fully trust him to help me reach them. If you are looking for someone who truly cares about helping you and a well rounded program that has been proven to be successful I highly recommend Lincoln. read more

The personal trainers at this gym are by far the most intelligent and caring personal trainers I have ever met. I only bought an online challenge from the owners and lost 4lbs in the first two weeks. I have seen muscle definition and body recomposition thanks to the elevate program. If anyone needs a personal trainer this is the place. I'm mainly talking about the owners Alicia and Corey but the other trainers are also passionate. I have had a trainer that looked 100% bored with what she was showing me and didn't really care. Long story short if your looking to make a worthwhile investment in a trainer invest your money in the trainer jones. read more

This place prides itself on being "better than a corporate gym". Although it has the looks of an independent gym, this place is nothing but money hungry. I have been training with a personal trainer for 6+ years on and off, so I have a bit of experience here. Unfortunately, since the new owners bought it out, they care more about hiring quantity over quality to get their monthly rent. They are constantly posting on social media about building your own brand and becoming an independent contractor. Well... Unfortunately, that's hard to do without business walking through the door. Speaking of people walking through the door, here is a business tip. When a customer does happen to walk in look up from your dang laptops and SMILE AT THEM. Not so hard. Even if they aren't your client they are still a good paying customer. I'm a true believer supporting other women, and that's not the environment that's built in the gym. Stink eyes are constant like you're there to steal their man. A simple "hi" "how are you doing today" "nice job on that set" won't take any money out of your bank account. Although it's a disappointment that I won't be going to this gym anymore, gyms are plentiful in San Diego county. I will give a shoutout to Luis and Melissa! Keep killin it! read more

If I could give this gym 10 stars I would. I have been in several challenges with several wonderful trainers, but this challenge by far is my absolute FAVORITE! This challenge is AMAZING in so many ways. The trainers are extremely personable and motivating, they include unique mini challenges to help you stay dedicated, a ton of support within the community and trainers, PHENOMINAL workout plans! I LOVE this challenge and I can say that this is the best my body has ever looked! They teach you how to live a healthy lifestyle vs how to lose weight for a temporary diet plan! I love love love them! read more

I was looking for a personal trainer and gym for my teenage son, the big name gyms were out of the question because my son was a bit intimidated and did not like any of the personal training options. I did what I should have from the start and looked on yelp, this is how I found self made but more importantly Lorenzo. Lorenzo is a great guy always smiling and greeting my son with excitement when he walks in the door. The gym is clean and organized, all the staff seems great, but I am here to give Lorenzo a perfect score and I definitely recommend his services! My wife will also be starting with Lorenzo in the near future. read more

Been going to SMTF for about a year. Done one on one and online training with Alicia Jones and have had great success and results. Currently doing 8 week summer challenge and it's been an amazing experience and very challenging. The Jones family are great to work with they supply all the tools needed to get your goals accomplished. I won 4th place out of 97 challengers the last challenge and love the experience and support. I recommend Alicia and Corey Jones at the San Marcos self made training facility for your trainer and to help you with your fitness goals. read more

This location is new and I have just started training with Tristan. The facility itself is very clean, not crowded, and a place to really focus on your fitness goals. I'd never heard of a gym before that only offers personal training sessions, but the sessions are worth it 100%. Each trainer has their own price for the sessions they provide, they customize the sessions for what your goals are, the time you want to train, etc. I would recommend Tristan as a trainer to anyone who wants to get serious about improving their health, improving strength, gaining muscle, training for a competition, wants to look good, etc. He is focused on helping you reach your fitness goals along with making sure you're doing so in a safe and healthy way. I'm big on technique and ask tons of questions during my sessions. Tristan encourages the questions, helps me have the correct form/technique during the workouts, and I leave the gym sweating. He knows his stuff and I really appreciate the time he takes with me to get a quality workout. With the goals I'm looking to achieve, he is guiding my lifestyle eating plan, recommending workouts for the days I'm not in the gym with him, etc. He is an extremely down to earth person too which makes the session more genuine, not like a stereotypical trainer who tells you to go from one area of the gym to the next. He plans the workouts ahead of time, knows his stuff, and you just got to come to the gym to learn and improve! read more

Seems like a terrible atmosphere. Went in to check on prices and no one confronted me. It felt awkward all the girl trainers where huddled around and some were even flirting with a guy the entire time. Was not a professional at all, the trainers were all in sports bras, make me feel intimated instead of welcoming. It was petty. I just ended up going to crunch to get the premium to get training at least there I don't have to worry about someone taking my fiancé or gossiping about the situation than helping a customer. read more

I've been coming to this gym for almost a month now and I love it. I've been training with Alicia Jones and she's incredible. I was hesitant at first because I'm out of shape and was scared to look like a failure surrounded by so many fit, like-minded people but Alicia immediately dispelled any fears I had. She was nothing but supportive and really worked to see what I was looking for in terms of health and fitness goals and how she could better assist me on my journey. She pushes me when I feel like giving up or burning out. She helps keep me accountable and pushes me out of my comfort zone in the best possible way. Each session I grow stronger and stronger. I've already signed up for another 12 sessions with her so she can continue helping me get to where I want to go. It's tough, but worth it. Everyone at this facility is so welcoming, and the facility itself is fantastic. Brand new equipment, very spacious, you can find anything you're looking for here. If you're looking for a great gym and a great family, look no further. Self Made has it all read more

Self Made Training Facility - San Marcos - Me and my trainer, Alicia Jones, at my very first session at Self Made! 04/24 - Trainers Near Me - San Marcos, California

Self Made offers a unique gym concept. There are no membership fees, you only pay for your trainer. It offers a clean, upbeat and positive environment with friendly and professional staff. Justin Horst is my trainer and I really can't say enough about him. He is an amazing trainer and an all around good guy. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his craft, and is driven to ensure that his clients reach their goals. He is patient and kind in his approach, and works hard to understand each individual's needs and how best to motivate them. I suffer from low back pain, and Justin tailors my workouts around my physical limitations and makes it a priority to educate me on ways to strengthen my back. Whatever he's done really works. I am reaching my goals and have stayed motivated and focused. read more
