Encinitas

Hi, my name is Eli. I’ve always loved moving my body and started my fitness and health journey as a kid. It has been such a positive influence on me, especially the health side, that I ended up studying alternative and holistic health at university, training in massage in Thailand and India, earning my ACE CPT, and continuing to find new ways to grow. I know firsthand how good it feels to move without pain, feel strong in your body, and get the mental boost that comes from consistent exercise. I focus on helping clients feel supported, challenged, and confident every time they train. Fun fact: I once spontaneously went bungee jumping in the middle of the jungle with five minutes' notice.

Hi, I’m Nicole but you can call me Nikki! I spent 12+ years on the soccer field before discovering my love for yoga, Pilates, and weight training. Today, I’m a stretch therapist focused on helping you move better, feel stronger, and recover smarter. Before transitioning into fitness, I worked in personal injury law, but I was drawn to making a more hands-on, meaningful impact which led me here. I also coach youth soccer and am currently working toward my MBA and yoga certification. My approach? I listen first because your body and your goals are unique. When I’m not in the gym, you’ll find me dancing, paddleboarding, painting, or cooking something delicious. Let’s get you feeling your best!

Hello, my name is Alphonso and I am a Stretch Therapist at Anytime Fitness in Encinitas, CA. I am a Student Physical Therapist at University of St. Augustine who values preventative care, strength and conditioning and teaching proper form. During my college days, I played linebacker for Chapman University and battled 4 different operations. This is why I aim to help those around me get educated about their bodies, training smarter, and provide excellent manual therapy and care. Outside of my studies, I love reading, kicking back at the beach, and exploring new food spots.

Hey, I'm Dominic! I am personal trainer and stretch therapist with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and over 20 years of experience in wrestling and weightlifting. I’m passionate about helping people keep doing the things they love, whether that’s training hard, staying active, or simply moving and feeling better in everyday life. I specialize in strength training, mobility work, and assisted stretching, and I enjoy working with clients of all ages and experience levels. I’m still exploring where my kinesiology path will ultimately take me, but one long-term goal of mine is to open a one-stop gym that combines training, recovery, and martial arts. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me outdoors camping, surfing, snowboarding, hiking, or spending time at the beach whenever I can.

I have a medical background and obtained my MD in 1991 in Lund, Sweden. After coming to the United States, I have coached the Team USA ice skating team, managed and organized fundraising fitness events, and run group and individual personal training programs. My passion is to help people feel their best at any age. I love teaching group fitness classes and motivating you to push yourself just a little further than you would on your own! Believe you can.

My name is Eric, and I'm a Data Scientist that specializes in medical research, a former dolphin trainer, and more recently, a personal trainer! I've taken my fitness journey seriously for the past two years and lost 50 lbs in the process. Whatever your goal is, let's make it happen! In my free time, you can usually find me outdoors, on the mountains or at the beach, either hiking, camping, or surfing. And obviously, you can always find me at the gym pumping iron or hitting jiu jitsu mats.

Hi, I’m Elani! I’m a stretch therapist here at Anytime Fitness, and I recently earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from the University of St. Augustine. I’m passionate about helping people feel their best through functional, holistic movement focusing on strength, balance, and mobility. When I’m not in the gym, you’ll find me at aerial or dance class, rollerskating, cuddling my cats, or planning a couple’s cosplay with my partner. If you’re looking to move through the world with more ease and confidence, reach out for a session. I’d love to work with you!

I'm a military wife, mom of two, and certified personal trainer (NSCA, since 2012) and nutrition specialist (NASM, since 2017). Over the years, I've trained a wide range of clients—from athletes to beginners, pregnant and postpartum women, and those rehabbing injuries or surgeries. My holistic approach blends strength training, conditioning, cardio, and stretching, with a strong emphasis on nutrition. I create programs tailored to your goals and limitations. With your consistency and my experience, results are guaranteed. Believe you can.

Hi there! My name is Carly, and I am from Corpus Christi, Texas. I was a competitive surfer for about ten years before I decided to step back and purely surf for fun. I am now a certified personal trainer who specializes in working with young athletes to help them become stronger, faster, more explosive, and more confident in their sport. In addition to training, I manage the club and work to create a positive and motivating environment for our members. I love to be outside, preferably at the beach with my dog Jazzy. I enjoy all kinds of fitness, especially weightlifting and Lagree/Pilates. I am very grateful to be a part of such an amazing team and be in such a rewarding role. Believe you can!
