What My Clients Say

I've been training with Mateo for a little over a year and I'm the strongest I've ever been! Mateo really breaks everything down so I fully understand the how's and whys of what we're doing. I was skeptical about training with a man as a woman but Mateo's professionalism and personality as a whole has allowed me to be comfortable 24/7. Not only has Mateo been the best trainer I've worked with but I can say he's become a genuine friend over the years that just wants the best for me and the rest of my clients. I enjoy how he doesn't put me in a box but really gets down to my goals and tailors my workouts for what I wanna accomplish. He trains my husband and same with him, tailors his workouts to what he wishes to accomplish. I don't feel like his workouts are a one size fits all. Mateo is a 10/10

Mateo is a beautiful man. He helped me transform my body & my life. Now, I have the confidence to talk to women & enough muscles for them to talk back. If you want to get serious about growth, get to Teo's Fit Times.

Beyond the numbers, sets, and calories, what truly sets Mateo apart is his character. He is not just a coach; he is a friend and an advisor in general health and well-being. He has an incredible internal drive that is completely contagious. This drive isn't intimidating; it is mature and supportive. Mateo is genuinely a kind-hearted individual who pushes his clients to be the absolute best version of themselves, but he does so from a place of support rather than ego. He creates an environment where you feel both challenged and safe to fail and learn. Nutrition is often the hardest hurdle, and Mateo mastered this part of the equation. He didn't just hand me a template; he created a deeply fleshed-out and detailed nutrition plan. The key to our success was its adaptability. Every weekly check-in was treated with gravity; he would analyze how my body was responding and adapt the plan immediately. This reactive approach ensured I never stalled and that the plan was working specifically for my metabolism at every stage.

This man helped me to understand how simple changes could effectively help me lose weight despite being highly inactive due to mobility restrictions & still manage to lose 14LBS in the past 4 months. I couldn't be more thankful to his knowledge, understanding of my challenging situation, & his ability to adapt my program to my limitations!

Teo completely changed my life. I came in 40 lbs overweight with no confidence and zero gym knowledge. He built a program around my crazy work schedule, taught me how to eat right without starving myself, and kept me accountable every single week. 8 months later I'm down 45 lbs and feel like a new person. This man genuinely cares.

I've had 3 personal trainers before Teo and none of them come close. The difference is he actually listens and adjusts. When something wasn't working, he pivoted immediately. My strength is up across the board and I've lost 22 lbs of fat while gaining muscle. The online coaching is just as good as in-person.

As a busy mom of two, I thought getting in shape was impossible. Teo designed workouts I could do in 45 minutes, gave me meal plans my whole family could eat, and never once made me feel judged. He responds to messages faster than anyone I know. Down 30 lbs and my energy is through the roof!

Teo's posing coaching took my stage presence to another level. I thought I knew what I was doing but he broke down every mandatory pose and showed me angles I never considered. His video feedback between sessions was incredibly detailed. Worth every penny.

I started online coaching with Teo after moving out of San Diego and honestly it's been seamless. Weekly check-ins, program adjustments, nutrition guidance — everything I had in person, just remote. He's not one of those coaches who disappears after selling you a plan. He's in it with you.

At 58 years old I didn't think a personal trainer was for me. Teo proved me wrong. He was patient, knowledgeable about training older adults, and never pushed me past what was safe. My doctor says my bloodwork has improved dramatically. I wish I started sooner.

Teo helped me prep for my first men's physique show and I felt 100% ready on stage. What sets him apart is the mental coaching — he helped me manage the stress, the diet fatigue, and the self-doubt. He's not just a trainer, he's a real mentor. Already planning my next show with him.
