Areyo aka «Mr. Discipline» is AWESOME! I train 2 x week and have seen definite improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall physique. I’ve had other trainers in the past and what makes Areyo different is that he’s personable and genuinely cares about you and your fitness. He’s not intimidating, is very patient, and clearly knows what he’s doing.
Additionally, Areyo knows that the key to overall fitness is not rapid results, and was supportive of me if I was discouraged by the scale which encouraged me to work harder and keep the end goal in mind.
I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive trainer who genuinely cares about their clients’ overall fitness and well-​being.

I recently starting working out with Areyo aka «Mr. Discipline» about 3 months ago and let me tell you what a difference he has made in my body already! My goal was to only lose just 5 lbs and maintain as well as toning up my body, and gain muscle weight which I did and have never seen results as quicker with Areyo than I have with many other trainers that I have worked out with in the past.
Areyo recommended documenting pictures to keep track of my body results every 6 weeks, which I have and it’s crazy to see how much my stomach, waist, and thighs have shrunk! His technique in training is very unique and different than anyone else that I have worked out with and he always surprises you with new moves and keeps you on your toes! I’m not one to sweat too much during workouts, but since I’ve started interval/​circuit training with Areyo I have been dripping in sweat and just shows how much he is working my body out!
Areyo is very friendly, but strict hence why he’s Mr. Discipline! He will go above and beyond and write you out a diet plan to follow and workouts to do on your own time while not training with him. What’s great is he will always tries to accommodate you, works around your schedule and will drive to you which is awesome! I highly recommend training with Areyo and I guarantee you will be happy with the transformation of your body! I know I have and it feels great that friends and family have been noticing too and telling me how great I look. Thank you, Mr. Discipline you rock! =)

My husband and I started working out with Mr. Discipline about 6 months before our wedding, and we still work out with him now about three years later. I was very hesitant about hiring a personal trainer because I wasn’t the most active person and I HATE cardio, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Mr. Discipline was sensitive to my beginner status, while still pushing me within reason. He always has something different planned for each workout, which is important because it’s always fresh and never boring (by the way, those huge ropes are much harder to swing than you would think!). He is in tune with different body types and different levels of fitness, so you always feel comfortable and the workout is always do-​able. I have never been more sore in my life, but I’ve also never looked better, so I absolutely recommend Mr. Discipline to anyone that is looking for a great personal trainer that will work with you on your level and transform your body into something you are beyond proud of!

Definitely cannot thank Mr. Discipline enough for mentoring me on my path in living a stronger and healthier life. Areyo is a great personal trainer; he provides me a custom workout schedule for my needs and my availability. These exercises are helping me get the physique I’ve been wanting for years.
Areyo has also helped me with my energy levels and has changed my diet for the better. He created a customized diet plan and told me to follow a schedule for eating. Knowing that it takes time to get the results I want, Areyo managers to check in with my progress to keep me accountable. He is there every step of the way to ensure my goals are met.
Approachable, motivator, and most importantly, credible. He really practices what he preaches and is not afraid to push you to your limits!

I can’t say enough about how awesome Areyo is! First off you need to understand that I HATE EXERCISE of any sort… So when my wife told me that we were going to start working out with him as a personal trainer, I was not excited. Actually I was mad.
Well… I’m happy to say that after my first session 2 things happened. 1) I sweat my face off 2) I thought to myself «that wasn’t that bad… I could totally keep doing that».
When working with you and your customized training program, Areyo will ask you about your goals and build your sessions around your goals. We also love meeting him in the park to do our session! For us it’s way easier to work out in the beautiful weather with fresh air and all… He brings all his equipment (huge ropes, steps, weights, big heavy leather utter looking things from Bulgaria, and more) to the park.
If you’re looking for a fun and super intense workout that will make you lose weight fast, Mr. Discipline is the man! He’s super nice and easy to work with. My wife also feels really comfortable with him.
A++++

This freaking guy… So I would classify myself as a active person. Between Krav Maga, the gym and lovely SD outdoor activities I’m doing some kind of workout 4 – 5 times a week. I’ve been wanting to shake things up a bit, like I do, and a couple of local friends told me about this Mr. Discipline guy.
Holy Moly I have never met or participated in a workout session of this kind with a personal trainer like Mr. Discipline. He is no ordinary personal trainer and you can tell from step 1 he, eats, sleeps and definitely sweats this stuff. The first session was a great mix of different workouts, which definitely put me to the test. I say first session because after the first one, I was hooked and have been ever since. Mr. Discipline is the real deal in personal training. He is an easy person to like even when you are cussing him out in your head, trust me haha.
I have been extremely happy with all of my sessions with Areyo, and on top of it all he gave me some great insight into what is killing me in my diet and eating habits. Not only have I seen major changes in my physique but he definitely shakes things up a bit. I’m extremely happy there is a personal trainer like him who is local and serious about his craft.
See you this week Areyo, I want another shot at the Mr. Discipline push-​up challenge.
P.S… If you don’t know, you better ask somebody.

I called Mr. Discipline because I needed a personal trainer who could get me to workout using whatever tactics necessary. I figured with a name like Mr. Discipline, he’d know how to handle my laziness. I’ve tried a lot of personal trainers in San Diego, and I’m glad none of them worked out because I love working with Areyo. Despite his intimidating abs, he’s totally approachable, warm, and surprisingly fun. I don’t feel like I’m doing a personal training session when I’m with him, more like I’m working out with a good friend. He did a lot of resistance and strength training that I hadn’t tried before, and I love that I’m almost beach body ready!

Great personal trainer, one of the best in San Diego. He is patient, understanding and supportive and will work with you on YOUR LEVEL unlike many trainers that give you an impossible workout that you end up giving up one. I was searching for a while for personal trainers and gyms in San Diego an tried a few others before coming to Areyo AKA Mr. Discipline. My experience with other personal trainers was not very positive. I tried personal trainers specializing in diet but they didn’t have much to offer in terms of exercise, gym and weight lifting expertise. I tried personal trainers that specialized in weights (strength and conditioning) but I felt that the focus was too heavy on lifting on not enough on plyometrics, cardio and conditioning. I also found some personal trainers that offered bootcamp type classes and those were alright but the personal component was missing. I did enjoy my experience with the personal trainers at Barry’s Boot Camp because they offered everything under one roof. Now I work out with Areyo and we encompass everything I loved about those workouts with the improved focus of one on one. His combination of expertise in diet, sports, exercise and physiology provided me everything I needed with the convenience and cost-​savings of only having to deal with one person.
Additionally, he really cares about the results that you get and more importantly cares about helping you maintain them (even when there is no money to be made for him). He often sends reminder texts and emails even when Im not working with him to check-​in and see how my diet and exercise routine is going and provide insight, support and feedback. If you’re looking for the perfect personal trainer and you’re in San Diego give this guy a shot and compare the experience with other trainers, you’ll definitely notice he’s a step above in knowledge, skills, expertise and attitude.
Areyo has also been training me on this thing called the Bulgarian bag. Wow! It’s torture but the muscles that these exercises train and the results (and soreness) you get from these workouts are second to none. There is a reason that olympic wrestlers incorporate Bulgarian bag training into their exercise routines: it works! For the advanced athlete or someone just looking to lose weight and gain muscle rapidly, if you can handle the intensity of Bulgarian bag workouts, definitely give it a shot, you’ll build strength in parts of your body where you never had it before and it enhances overall fitness levels a lot. If I can make time for it, I want to incorporate Bulgarian bag training into my weekly routine. I wish they had classes like this at my gym but it’s highly specialized and apparently Areyo is one of the only certified Bulgarian bag trainers in California.
Update 06/​19/​2014:
I recently worked out with Areyo and did a new weight training routine. I’m used to lifting heavy weights with low reps but this involved moderate weights with lots of reps (5 sets for each exercise) and although it was challenging, the results were tremendous. My flabby chest was sore for days and firmed up nearly immediately (from one workout and I’ve been working out with personal trainers off and on for 15+ years). I like working out with Areyo over other trainers because he is always learning and always applying what he’s learning to his workout sessions. Every week it’s something new and my muscles never know what to expect — my body is always «on its feet.» These more intense workouts are great because you can get more done in less time and the results are much more noticeable than regular, run of the mill weight lifting routines. I love and hate this personal trainer, hate him during the workout but love him after!
