Glad you're here! This community is built for coaches, CSCS candidates, and performance-minded professionals who take their craft seriously. 👉 In your first post, tell us: - Who you are and what you do - Where you're at in your CSCS journey (or if you're already certified, what you're working on now) - A fun fact—either about your coaching, your training, or just something that makes you you - And post a photo of your training space—whether it’s a garage gym, college weight room, or the local fitness club. We want to see it! This is your space to level up, get real answers, and connect with others who are serious about performance—let’s raise the standard together.

Hi everyone my name is Guillermo Alarcon. I own a gym in Long Beach California called A10 Fitness and Performance where I service primarily athletes (youth-collegiate), but also some gen pop clientele. In addition, I’m a strength and conditioning coach at a high school in Huntington Beach, California where I’m responsible for several teams (dependent on sport season). This will be my second time taking the CSCS, I narrowly missed it 3 years ago (then took some time off to re-open my gym post covid) but am excited to be apart of a community and structured learning environment this time around. Outside of training, My wife and I have fostered and later adopted 3 dogs for a total of 4 in our home so most of our down time is spent with them!

My name is Aiden Arriaga and I am a student-athlete at Point Loma Nazarene University studying Kinesiology. I play baseball at PLNU as well and I am an outfielder. Im finishing my undergrad this spring and planning on taking the CSCS exam this summer. A fun fact about me is that I am the first person in my family to go to college.

Hey everyone, my name is Mark and I’m a physical therapist in Las Vegas. I want to get my CSCS so I can fine tune my programming and bridge the gap between rehab and high performance training. I have attempted to study for the CSCS multiple times but fell of every time. So I am looking forwards to a little more structure to my studying. I don’t have any pictures of me training but here is a picture of me getting a calf cramp at the finish line of a marathon.

Hi everyone, my name is Kris. I’m a personal trainer and performance coach, working mostly with special populations (CVD, PVD, etc.) and youth athletes. I’m currently in nursing school pursuing my NP. I’m planning to take the CSPS sometime in March or April, and the CSCS this summer. Right now I have zero life and do basically nothing fun or exciting… but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 😄
