I’m a San Diego–based personal trainer with a B.S. in Human Biology from UC San Diego and an M.S. in Kinesiology (Sports Performance) from Point Loma Nazarene University. I focus on body recomposition, strength, and injury prevention. I help clients build muscle, lose fat, and move well without pain. My coaching is built around intentional programming, consistency, and keeping your body healthy long-term — so you can train hard, recover well, and feel strong in your everyday life.

Body recomposition is the goal of losing fat and building or keeping muscle at the same time, so the scale matters less than what the body is made of. It is slower to read on a bathroom scale and more durable than a crash diet, because the training signal that tells the body to keep muscle stays on while energy intake is managed.
Your coach records starting measurements, movement quality, training history and current eating habits, so progress is compared with your own numbers rather than a generic target.
Programs are built around progressive strength work for the major muscle groups, with the load, volume and rest chosen for your experience level and schedule.
Food guidance is practical: protein targets, meal timing that matches your day, and adjustments when progress stalls. Coaches work within their scope and refer out for medical nutrition needs.
Measurements, photos, training logs and how you feel are reviewed on a schedule, and the plan changes when the data says it should.
Every plan is built around the individual, so your coach will adjust this. As a general shape, the first four weeks of body recomposition coaching tend to run like this.
Measurements, photos, a movement screen and a look at how you eat and sleep. The first sessions teach the main lifts with moderate loads.
Training days settle into a pattern you can keep. Protein and meal structure get attention before anything fancy.
Weights and reps start to climb as technique holds. You begin to see which habits are helping and which are in the way.
Numbers are compared with week one, what worked is kept, and the plan for the next block is set.
Corrective exercise looks at how you move, finds the patterns that are limited, compensated or painful, and builds a program of mobility, activation and strengthening to improve them. It is training, not medical treatment, and good coaches coordinate with your physician or physical therapist when an injury is involved.
A movement assessment. Posture, range of motion and basic movement patterns are screened so the plan targets what is actually limiting you.
Targeted mobility and activation. Short, specific drills open restricted areas and wake up underused muscles before and between strength work.
The free introduction is your chance to see whether Takeyia is the right fit. These are good questions to bring for body recomposition coaching, and any coach worth hiring will answer them plainly.

Takeyia's profile centers on body recomposition coaching, and clients who seek it often include people who want to lose fat without losing the muscle they have, lifters who have plateaued and want a structured approach, and anyone who has dieted before and regained the weight. The best test is the free introduction: if the plan makes sense to you, you have your answer.
It is gradual by design. Most people see measurable changes in strength and measurements over several weeks, with visible change building over a few months, and the pace depends on training history, consistency, sleep and food. Your coach sets expectations from your own baseline at the free introduction.
Not always. Some people do well with counting for a while, others with portion habits and protein targets. Your coach picks the lightest method that still gets results for you.
