Coach Carlos Journey into Personal Training

I’ve been an athlete all my life. My parents immigrated to the United States when I was 6 years old. I found baseball when I was about 12 years old and went on to play high school and college. 

I graduated as an engineer and worked as a project manager for about 5. I realized after those 5 years that my heart was in fitness. 

I took a big leap of faith and went to a trade school to learn about personal trainer and get certifications. 

I started in a commercial gym before working for a small group setting style of gym. Even though I played a big role in the success of that small gym I went on to work for another small gym. I played a major role in the growth of that gym but we parted ways after about 2 years. I then work for another commercial gym for 4 years. I was a top trainer in the company before COVID hit and I took a year off. I had a dream to open up my own gym but I was set back 2 years. 

After COVID I went on to work for another commercial gym to build my income and finally use my talents to start my own gym and fulfill my dream. 

I am now the owner of Máquina Strength and Bodybuilding where I am able to share my passion and it’s the first step into the big picture of creating the next big franchise. 

I’ve worked hard to develop a unique system of training that has helped me become successful everywhere I’ve worked. I am now my own boss and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
