"Training with Chadzilla and Denise Rous has been one of the best fitness decisions I’ve ever made. Whether in one-on-one sessions or their team training, the results speak for themselves—strength, tone, weight loss, and injury-free progress. Their sessions are motivating, supportive, and designed to challenge you while meeting you where you are, creating a true sense of community.

Strengthened body and fortitude

"Starting my journey with Chad at Self-Made Training on June 19, 2025, at 268 lbs was life-changing. In just two months, I dropped over 30 lbs while improving muscle balance and lowering body fat, now at 237.4 lbs with 34.2% body fat and 146.4 lbs of muscle mass—proof I’m not just losing weight but gaining strength and confidence. Chad’s coaching, accountability, and personalized programs go beyond workouts, helping build a sustainable lifestyle. With his degree in Health & Fitness and a clean, motivating environment, you know you’re in expert hands. If you’re ready to burn fat, build muscle, and feel your best, I highly recommend Chad Rous—he doesn’t just change bodies, he transforms lives."

Lost 30+ lbs in just 2 months

"Training with Denise has been one of the most empowering experiences of my life. She knew exactly how to push me without overwhelming me, and every session felt tailored to my goals. Denise helped me refine my form, stay consistent, and build strength I didn’t know I had. Beyond the physical changes—dropping weight, toning up, and improving my stamina—she gave me back my confidence. What really stands out is her ability to balance encouragement with accountability. Denise is professional, caring, and always makes me feel supported, even on days I doubted myself. If you want a trainer who is fully invested in your success and knows how to bring out your best, Denise is the one to work with."

Shaped body, lifted confidence

Before and after photo of Ryan J. showing major weight loss and improved health from training with Chad at Self Made Fitness Temecula.

"Training with Chad has been a complete game-changer for me. I came into Self Made Training struggling with my weight, low energy, and little motivation, but with Chad’s guidance I’ve dropped over 70 lbs while gaining strength and stamina I didn’t think I could get back. His no-excuses approach, consistent accountability, and custom workouts pushed me past limits I used to set for myself. Chad not only helped me physically transform, but also gave me the mindset and discipline to keep going outside the gym. I feel healthier, more confident, and more determined every day. This experience hasn’t just been about weight loss—it’s been about taking back control of my life and proving to myself what’s possible."
