Brawn and the brain to back it up.

Resthlyj  / REST-leej /

Most trainers hand you a program. Resthlyj builds you a system. Every session is designed around understanding, why an exercise is chosen, how it fits your body, and what it's building toward, so the progress you make isn't dependent on always having a coach in the room.

Based in San Diego, working with clients in-person and online. The approach is methodical, the standards are high, and the goal is always the same: results that compound over time, not ones that fall apart the moment life gets in the way.

Evidence-based programming. Not trends.

Body education built into every session

Long-term commitment over quick fixes

Strength that carries through injury and life

From first message
to first session.

No guesswork, no pressure. Four steps between where you are now and a program built entirely around you.

Step one 01

Apply

Fill out a short application so we understand your background, goals, and schedule before we ever speak. Takes two minutes.

  • Training history & current activity level
  • Primary goals — strength, physique, performance
  • Injuries, limitations, or health considerations
  • In-person (San Diego) or online preference
Step two 02

Free Consultation

A free 60-minute in-person consultation to go deeper on your goals, ask questions, and see if the approach is the right fit. No commitment required.

  • Review your application together
  • Clarify timeline, availability, and expectations
  • Q&A — ask anything about the methodology
  • Honest assessment of what's achievable
Step three 03

Onboarding

Before programming begins, a thorough movement assessment establishes your baseline — identifying strengths, compensations, and exactly where to start.

  • Movement screening & mobility assessment
  • Establish true baseline strength numbers
  • Set measurable short and long-term benchmarks
  • Align on communication style and check-in frequency
Step four 04

I've trained with a few trainers before and Resthlyj has to be one of my favorites. Not only does he make me feel comfortable in the gym setting (especially as a beginner) but he also challenges me when needed. He's very knowledgeable and always makes sure I have proper form to not injure myself. He's great at keeping me motivated and every session has been fun. I recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer!

I've been training with Resthlyj for a year and a half, and I couldn't be happier with the results. When I started, I had no experience in the gym and no real knowledge of how to work out properly. He was patient and thorough, showing me the ropes and guiding me step by step on the right way to train, stay consistent, and build muscle. I started at 149 lbs, and now I'm at 172 lbs with noticeable increases in muscle mass and strength. The progress I've made under his guidance has been life-changing. He truly cares about his clients and knows how to push you while keeping workouts safe and effective. I'm very happy with my results and highly recommend Resthlyj to anyone whether you're a complete beginner like I was or someone looking to take their fitness to the next level.
