Introduction: My name is Manuel Gutierrez, a self-employed personal trainer that trains clients out of a private facility in San Diego. First, let me say that it's such a great decision to consider getting a personal trainer. Making lifestyle changes, even small ones, can be easier said than done, and it's my job to help you through it with encouragement, dedication and patience. In just a short period of time, I've trained dozens of unique people that all have varying goals. While most people generally have the same goals, such as losing weight and gaining some muscle, each individual's particular wants and needs are different. In my opinion, personal training is about more than just fat loss or muscle gain, it's about the benefits of it. Almost every day, I talk to people about not just how much weight they want to lose (or how much muscle they want to gain), but why they want those things. Some want to simply want more self esteem, be less self-conscious of their body, and really get a sense of accomplishment from achieving those goals. That's why I love being a personal trainer--to see people succeed in their own way. I'd love the opportunity to work with you, and I believe you'll benefit from my training. Personal training is not what you see on TV--there's no yelling and screaming, being pushed to the point of injury or anything else--it's about taking each day in stride and making progress with each day as well. During your training, there will inevitably be days where you just don't feel like it, or it'll feel like there just aren't enough hours in the day to accommodate the training. I will guide you through these times with the right accountability, encouragement and patience. I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Manuel Gutierrez

My 10 year old son has been teased about his weight in the past, and I wanted to get him a trainer who would help him feel stronger and have more confidence about his body and his fitness. I contacted Manny, and he was eager to help him right away. He’s been working with Manny for a few months now, and it’s making a big impact. My son looks forward to his workouts. I think he’s learning to build some better habits, too. Manny always has him do a variety of exercises to help him feel stronger and more agile. The workouts he creates are always fun. He uses a variety of equipment to keep it interesting and new. It feels like a game to my son. I know Manny mostly works with adults, but he’s really great with my son. He meets him at his level and is always encouraging. My son is beginning to gain more self confidence, which is the greatest change I’m seeing in him. And I think my son likes working out with a cool, strong dude. It’s inspiring to him. I can’t recommend Manny enough. No matter your age or fitness level, he will assess your personal fitness goals and help you achieve them.

I have always just worked out at the gym on my own since I played sports most of my life but figured I would give working with a trainer a try since I need more motivation. I found Manuel and it was a great fit. His workouts are well-designed and he takes the time to really understand what you are looking to accomplish. He encourages you and pushes you while you work out and makes sure you get every rep and set done. In addition, he works around your schedule, is very responsive, and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him as a trainer.

Manny is the real deal! Having never worked with a personal trainer before, I did not know what to expect. I figured most trainers would use a standard workout and apply it to every client. But Manny has made sure to tailor every workout based on the needs of each individual client. Since our first session, Manny listened to what I was hoping to achieve from our sessions and clearly laid out a path as to how we would get there. I can't emphasize the 'we' enough because Manny is really invested in each client and definitely makes you feel like he's along for the ride with you. But the best part of working with him is just realizing how much information he has to share about lifting and fitness overall. I leave each session feeling like I've learned something that helps contribute toward my overall progress -- everything from proper form, to adequate rest, to proper nutrition, and everything in between. You'll work hard but it will be 100% worth it.

I reached out Manuel for training sessions to help build out a routine for future use in the gym. He was quick to respond and was super flexible in booking sessions in the evenings around my work schedule. He’s knowledgeable in all things from lifts to nutrition and is an all around great trainer. Been great working with him and would recommend him to anyone regardless of your skill level in the gym!
