No B.S. Fitness Education since 2011

You have one and ONLY one body for your entire life.

The question you need to ask and answer for yourself is:

Will you trash it or will you treasure it?

No one can do your health for you.

I truly believe regular exercise and healthier nutrition should be as AUTOMATIC as brushing your teeth, flossing, taking a shower, shaving or putting on your makeup, driving to and from work, school, and/or to pick up the kids and/or whatever else is in your life. AUTOMATIC.

No one can do your health for you.

No one can eat for you and no one can exercise for you. Whether you’re gay, straight, or somewhere in between, I’m here to help you make regular exercise and healthier nutrition AUTOMATIC.

Not only has he helped me focus on my physical fitness goals but on a well rounded healthy mind and body. He’s been there through my fitness failures and successes. I’ve seen my physical and mental being transformed and I couldn’t have done it without his help.

I have worked with Freddy for over 3 years now. Through it all, he has helped me deal with emotional issues blocking my ability to work out as well as physical limitations that keep him on his toes finding modifications! I have referred him to MANY of my friends and several have joined up long term. He is a great partner in this life goal of being healthy and happy. I am so happy I found him!!!

How it all started

I had a very personal experience with heart disease. At the age of 36 when I was only 6 years old, my dad had his first heart attack AND double bypass surgery. 13 years later at the age of 49, he died in an operating room accident during his SECOND double bypass surgery. Given what we now know, there’s really no reason why anyone should go through something similar. Fast forward to 2021. My original personal training business, Level One Training and Fitness, celebrated it’s 10th birthday and came out as thatgaytrainer; open to everyone but specifically on a mission to help out my LGBTQIA+ fam here in San Diego directly! Why? I’m glad you asked! Identifying ourselves as "other than straight" introduces a multitude of social, cultural, religious, and political issues (not to mention various types of abuse) which can affect our personal health, particularly in the realm of exercise and nutrition. You have one and ONLY one body for your entire life. The question you need to ask and answer for yourself is: Will you trash it or will you treasure it?

Since 2011

Even back when I started as a personal trainer in 2011, I never cared much for self-promotion. To this day, I rarely post much on social media.

This is because I prefer to do my work behind-the-scenes. I believe fitness is a deeply personal part of a person’s life. If it isn’t, it should be.

Does that mean I won’t work with someone who’s all about their TikTok, Twitter, and Insta? Of course not, but it’s not who thatgaytrainer is.

Since 2011, I’ve resisted many of the philosophies, products, and services that have grabbed a foothold in the world of fitness. They just want your dollars.
