Jose began his fitness journey during his freshman year at CSUB. Like most beginners, he had limited knowledge of fitness and exercise but was eager to learn. After a few months in the gym, he started making progress and built confidence and as a result fell in love with the process. He started creating his own workout routines and focusing on learning as much as he could about fitness. He soon realized that he had a true passion when it came to fitness and wanted to share his knowledge and experience with others. Today, fitness has become an important aspect of Jose's daily routine, and he is currently prepraring to compete in his first ever Men's Physique Bodybuilding competition. Outside of his certifications, Jose is a member of the armed services and is currently serving in the United States Marine Corps where physical fitness is a big component. As a trainer, Jose believes that fitness serves as the bridge between physical and mental health. He strives to help become the best version of themselves both inside and outside of the gym by creating a personalized training plan that will lead clients to live an active and fit lifestyle.
