Online Personal Trainer · Orange County
An online personal trainer for all of Orange County
Get an individually tailored program in an app, weekly check-ins, and real video form review from Coach Santi, coaching that travels with you whether you train in Costa Mesa, Irvine, Newport Beach, or anywhere across Orange County. Go fully remote, or run a hybrid that adds in-person sessions at Focus Athletics.
App-guided, made for you
A program built for your body, not a template
Most online coaching hands you the same PDF everyone else gets. This isn't that. Every person has a different body composition, chemistry, injury history, and set of demands on their week, so your plan is written from scratch around your goals, your equipment, and the reality of your calendar across Orange County.
You open the app, see exactly what to do that day with a demo video for every movement, and log your sets as you go. Santi sees your numbers in real time and fine-tunes the plan as you get stronger. It's the structure and accountability of a personal trainer, wrapped around the gym and schedule you already have.
- A plan individually tailored to your body, goals, and gear
- Demo video on every exercise so nothing is guesswork
- Safe, joint-friendly progressions adjusted week to week
How it works
Getting started takes four simple steps
No friction, no long application. Here's exactly what happens from your first message to your first week of training.
Your custom plan
Santi builds your individually tailored program in the app around your equipment and week, and walks you through how to use everything so day one feels easy.
Train & film
You train at your own gym or at home, logging sets in the app and filming a few working sets so Santi can review your form and dial in your technique.
Weekly check-in
Each week you send a short check-in; Santi reviews your progress, answers questions, and adjusts the plan so momentum never stalls. Message him anytime in between.
What's included
Everything you need to keep progressing
Online coaching isn't a plan you're left alone with, it's an ongoing relationship with a coach who's paying attention every week.
Custom program in an app
Your workouts, sets, reps, and demo videos in one clean place, updated as you grow stronger, never a static PDF you outgrow in a month.
Video form review
Upload a clip of your lift and get specific, frame-by-frame cues back from Santi, so your technique stays safe and effective without a coach in the room.
Weekly check-ins
A real coach reviewing your week, celebrating wins, troubleshooting sticking points, and adjusting the plan, plus direct messaging whenever a question comes up.
The hybrid option
Best of both: remote plus in-person in Costa Mesa
If you're local to Orange County, hybrid coaching gives you the flexibility of training on your own most weeks, plus hands-on sessions with Santi at Focus Athletics, Costa Mesa's boutique studio with private training pods, an infrared sauna, and a cold plunge, when it counts most.
Come in to nail a new lift, break through a plateau, or just get eyes on your technique in person, then run the rest of your program from your own gym. It's a favorite for busy professionals who travel, and for South OC clients in Laguna Niguel who'd rather train close to home with an occasional drive up the 73.
No pitch, no pressure, just a plan.

Good questions
Online coaching FAQ
The things Orange County clients ask most before they start.
You get an individually tailored program in a coaching app with video demos for every exercise, log your workouts as you train, and send short clips of your lifts for form review. Each week Santi reviews your check-in and adjusts the plan, and you can message him directly between sessions. It's the structure and accountability of a personal trainer, built around your own gym and schedule.
Online coaching serves all of Orange County and beyond, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Irvine, Huntington Beach, and all of South OC including Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo, Dana Point, and Mission Viejo. Because the coaching lives in an app, you can train at any gym or at home. If you're local, the hybrid option adds in-person sessions at Focus Athletics in Costa Mesa.
Online coaching starts from $199 per month and hybrid coaching starts from $299 per month, depending on check-in frequency and how many in-person sessions you add. You'll get clear, itemized numbers on your free consult, no long contracts and no pressure.
Online coaching is fully remote. Your program, form reviews, and weekly check-ins all happen in the app. Hybrid coaching layers in-person sessions at Focus Athletics in Costa Mesa on top of that, so you get hands-on coaching when it counts and the flexibility of training on your own the rest of the week. It's popular with Orange County professionals who travel or have unpredictable schedules.
Yes. You film a few working sets on your phone and upload them in the app, and Santi sends back specific, frame-by-frame cues, where to brace, how to set your feet, when to slow the tempo down. It's one of the biggest reasons online clients keep progressing safely without a coach standing next to them.
Absolutely. Beginners often benefit the most, because the program starts exactly where you are, every exercise has a demo video, and form review catches issues early. Whether you're a busy professional easing back in or an adult over 50 focused on longevity, the plan is built to be safe, attainable, and genuinely fun to follow.
