About
Hello! BEFORE REACHING OUT, make sure the facility is within your desired commute time.
I train out of Self Made Training Facility Del Mar.
My name is Aqilah Pope. I'm a NASM Certified Personal Trainer with a B.S. in Health and Exercise Science. I am also a FRCms (Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist) and certified in assisted stretching using a technique called PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation). I have a passion for helping women become the healthiest versions of themselves, especially those who feel like they don't have enough time, lets make time!
I have been helping women become healthier versions of themselves for over a decade, and I've done my best to learn more with each passing year to help others become more fit holistically, as well as improve myself so I can lead by example.
My background in exercise science, as well as martial arts, allows me to design unique programs for each client. I look forward to helping you become a healthier you!

Ive struggled with chronic pain for years, and working out always felt intimidating and even painful. But since I started training with Aqila three months ago, everything has changed. Shes incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and really listens to my bodys needs. Even when I go in with acute pain she always finds some modifications to still get me to workout :) Ive made more progress than I ever thought possible, not just physically, but in actually enjoying exercise now! Im so grateful to have found her!

LIFE CHANGING-I am a middle-aged, young-thinking person who thought I was fit. Unfortunately, I was involved in a work accident that ignited a landslide of aches and pains. The UCSD occupational team sent me to Aquilah for a 6-month program attempting to reduce the aches and pains. My first 2-hour session was the most ego-crushing experience I have felt. I could not stand, stretch, bend, etc. for longer than 20 seconds. I could NOT foresee how I could improve at my age my after the first 30 minutes of my first session. Poor me, I know. The final exercise that day was called the plank, which lasted 17 seconds. fast forward 6 months, my plank time was 1 minute 30 seconds, and now 11 months later, my plank time is 3 minutes. whoot whoot. You can do many simple things daily to strengthen your mind and body. Aquilah methods are nonintimidating, and you don't realize she has taught you an exercise program built especially for you or me.The best part is I have gym bunny friends who cannot perform some of the exercises Aquilah, and they are amazed at my core strength. My job at the University is stressful, and I broke down a couple of times. Guess what? There is a stretch or exercise Aquilah will walk you through to remedy that ailment. I share my new life skills with anyone who will listen. Take a chance on yourself and allow Aquilah to help you find your inner strength. Much love for an amazing person who changed my life positively. It all starts with one session.

Agilas session with me was a much appreciated, professional and kind part of a brief vacation in the area. She is incredibly knowledgeable and accepting of limitations and supportive of each individuals strengths. As a result of my experience with her I am anxious to find a practitioner in my area. I highly recommend this lovely young woman.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My goal is to offer you the best experience possible to help you reach your health and wellness goals. Before beginning your program we'll discuss your personal goals, needs, and schedule. The price of your sessions will depend on frequency as well as if you decide to purchase a pack or do a monthly subscription.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer a free consultation to every potential client. This way we can get to know each other and I can learn more about your needs, exercise experience, and nutrition habits. I strongly believe that along with a trainer being able to give you a high-quality program, a client and trainer should also be able to form a personal relationship. Comfortability is a very large part of a successful trainer-trainee relationship.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Exercise Science from Syracuse University. I am also a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and hold a nationally accredited certificate in assisted stretching through the Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE). This culmination of training has allowed me to specialize in mobility and flexibility training as well as weight loss and corrective exercise.
