Alyssa Figueroa – Personal Trainer | Gilbert
Alyssa M. Figueroa
My journey from 271 pounds to 155 pounds is rooted in resilience, healing, and a deep sense of purpose. I’ve been passionate about strength training since 2011, but it was during the tumultuous year of 2020—at the start of the pandemic—that I committed myself fully to holistic wellness. Like many, I faced unprecedented challenges, but I chose to turn adversity into opportunity by prioritizing my health and well-being.
For years, I battled PCOS and struggled with weight loss despite making significant dietary changes. Frustration and setbacks led me to explore different avenues of healing—mind, body, and spirit. In 2021, I made the life-changing decision to undergo gastric sleeve surgery, a step that empowered me to reclaim my health and redefine my relationship with my body. Alongside this, I dedicated myself to gut healing, mindset work, and energy alignment, which collectively transformed my life in profound ways.
Through my personal transformation, I gained invaluable insights into the complexities of women’s health, hormonal imbalances, and the importance of a holistic approach to wellness. Today, I channel my experiences and expertise into helping others achieve their own breakthroughs at Self Made Training Facility. Whether you’re recovering from weight loss surgery, managing PCOS, or seeking a sustainable, empowering fitness journey, I am here to guide you with compassion, knowledge, and trauma-informed support.
My coaching philosophy is rooted in understanding that true health goes beyond physical appearance—it encompasses mental clarity, emotional resilience, and energetic balance. I specialize in creating personalized programs that address individual needs, incorporating strength training, gut health optimization, hormone balancing, and mind-body energy resets. I am passionate about supporting women’s wellness, particularly those navigating PCOS, hormonal imbalances, and other unique health challenges.
In addition to my expertise in women’s health, I am experienced in working with clients with ASD and ADHD, tailoring fitness and wellness strategies that respect sensory needs and promote sustainable habits. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and focused on fostering a safe space for healing and growth.
My mission is to empower clients to embrace their journey, celebrate their progress, and cultivate lasting habits that enhance their quality of life. I believe that everyone deserves to feel strong, confident, and aligned—physically, mentally, and spiritually. Whether you’re looking to rebuild after weight loss surgery, balance your hormones, or simply feel better in your body, I am here to support you every step of the way.
Let’s work together to unlock your full potential and create a life rooted in health, healing, and purpose. Your transformation begins now—are you ready to take the first step?
