I’ve been lucky enough to turn a passion into a career and I love to share that passion with everyone that works with me.
Fitness helped me discover my inner strength and improve my mental and physical health immensely and now I’m here to help you discover what fitness can do for you.
|my relationship with fitness STARTED WHEN… |
My grandmother enrolled me in two sports at a time because I was a hyperactive child. I cycled through T-ball, soccer, basketball, golf, tennis, badminton, 200-meter sprint, shot put, swim, and gymnastics at one point or another.
| WEIGHT CHALLENGES |
When I turned 15 years old, I started working and sports took a back seat. By the time I graduated from high school, I had stopped exercising altogether and went from a size 0 to a size 8.
| HEALTH ISSUES |
Shortly after graduation, I started experiencing the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle and I was dealing with all kinds of health issues.
In an effort to feel better, I started to learn about nutrition and mindfulness, and enrolled in my first fitness classes at a local gym. Fast forward one year, I was eating a clean and balanced diet and had lost over 35 pounds. I was hooked! My health issues cleared up and I was enjoying exercise again at a local CrossFit gym.
| SPINAL INJURY |
After almost a year in CrossFit, I burst the L5 disc in my back. Unable to walk upright let alone do much of anything active, I was compelled to understand what was necessary to reclaim my health and fitness. I had re-ignited my inner fire and I was determined to come back better than ever.
| RECOVERY |
After my back surgery, I relentlessly pursued health and fitness knowledge. I enrolled in workshops and classes and ultimately got certified as a personal trainer.
| APPROACH TO FITNESS |
After a fitness journey full of setbacks, life lessons, and comebacks, my approach to fitness is focused on quality of life, balance, mindfulness, and taking care of my body for the long haul.
It’s not all slinging dumbbells and pounding protein drinks. It’s finding a fitness routine you love, eating to fuel your body, and enjoying moving your body throughout your day whether it’s in the gym or on a beautiful hike.
That’s why A-Team’s women personal trainers focus on helping you reach performance-based goals rather than aesthetics-based goals and our program offerings reflect that!

Follow Coach Dylan on IG
Dylan is a dedicated fitness professional with a passion for transforming lives through physical training and holistic wellness. Born and raised in the small town of Fairfield, California, he discovered his love for sports and weightlifting at an early age. This newfound love kept him focused and away from trouble. Guided by mentors and coaches who recognized his potential, he began his journey to become a stronger athlete, both physically and mentally. The positive impact his mentors and coaches had on his life inspired him to pay it forward by helping others, including friends and family, to unlock their full potential and lead healthier lives.
At the age of 17, he began his college education at San Jose State University, where he pursued a degree in Kinesiology. Fueled by his passion for fitness, he obtained a certification as a personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise by the end of his first year in undergrad. Since then, he has been actively engaged in the field, leveraging his knowledge and experience to empower individuals through personal training.
During his undergraduate years, he had the opportunity to work with college athletes at SJSU, allowing him to further develop his skills and better understand performance training. Later on, he took on management roles in various gyms, creating meaningful fitness experiences. As he explored different career paths, he briefly worked in an ambulance while contemplating a future in medical school. However, it was during this time that he realized his true calling lay in preventative care.
Through his experience, he firmly believes that diet and nutrition serve as the most powerful form of medicine. He has witnessed remarkable transformations where individuals have successfully discontinued high blood pressure and cholesterol medications and even found solutions to alleviate pain through the appropriate diet and nutrition.
Dylan’s ultimate passion lies in helping individuals transform their bodies and minds, empowering them to achieve optimal health and vitality. He firmly believes in cultivating healthy habits that are sustainable and enjoyable, while ensuring that his clients not only attain their goals but also develop a genuine love for fitness. His mission is to guide as many people as possible toward a holistically healthy lifestyle, where they never have to say "no" to an activity with friends due to a lack of strength or confidence. By instilling vitality, strength, and self-assurance in others, he aims to create a positive ripple effect that extends far beyond the gym.
