Marlon Rosales trainer, entrepreneur, and the man known as “The Cake Maker,” has spent nearly 20 years shaping glutes and building belief throughout Northern California. His commitment to glute-focused transformation and real human connection has made him one of the most recognizable names in the region’s fitness community.
Unlike many others who pivot with trends, Marlon locked into his niche early. As a result, he built a loyal community, a movement, and a brand that’s as bold as the cupcakes on his logo. Today, his waitlist-only training experience and signature style have become iconic — especially in the Bay Area, where that cupcake-with-a-booty logo turns heads.
💪 “We’re not just shaping glutes — we’re building belief and self-worth.”
🔥 A Brand Rooted in Passion and Precision
Marlon’s journey began with purpose. After excelling as a college athlete, he earned degrees in health and fitness education. Moreover, he secured certifications from top organizations like ACSM, NASM, and NSCA. With this foundation, he created programs that are equal parts science and soul.
Over time, his cheeky but effective “cake-making” method made waves. Consequently, he launched The Cakery by MarFit, a boutique studio in San Jose designed for personalized transformation.
In addition, his gym’s energy is unmatched — music, movement, and motivation all under one roof. Because of that, his clients don’t just work out — they evolve.
👑 Where Fitness Meets Beauty: The Cakery Infusions
In 2022, Marlon expanded his vision. He teamed up with Sahar Saghezchi, a licensed esthetic nurse, educator, and founder of Cupertino Facial Esthetics (@cupertinoesthetics). Together, they created The Cakery Infusions — a cutting-edge wellness lounge that fuses performance, recovery, and beauty.
Without a doubt, Sahar is a beast in her own right. Her expertise in skin health, IV therapy, and post-workout recovery elevated the experience at The Cakery to a whole new level. Not only is she a medical expert, but she’s also a driving force behind the brand’s glow-up.
As a result, Cakery Infusions offers services like:
IV vitamin drips
Cold plunge therapy
Infrared sauna sessions
Lymphatic drainage
Skin rejuvenation and post-training recovery
Therefore, clients get more than a workout — they get total wellness. From sweat to shine, Marlon and Sahar deliver it all under one roof.
“When fitness meets beauty, it becomes a full-circle lifestyle — and Sahar makes it powerful.”
👬 Barry Cakes: From Silicon Valley to the Studio
Of course, there’s one more name you can’t leave out — Barry, better known as Barry Cakes. He was once in tech, but through Marlon’s guidance, he transitioned into fitness and found his calling. Now, Barry co-leads sessions with passion and personality.
Because of their lifelong friendship, the dynamic between Marlon and Barry brings a special energy to The Cakery. Together, they’ve created a vibe that’s welcoming, effective, and addictive.
“Barry’s transformation is proof that you can pivot with purpose — and now, he’s one of the best trainers in the Bay.”
🌍 A Miami Moment and a Magazine Feature
A few weeks ago in Miami, Marlon had a simple conversation with a woman he’d just met. Surprisingly, she turned out to be a writer for USA Future Magazine. After sharing his story casually, he went on with his day — not knowing that it would soon be published across the country.
This moment served as a reminder: when your story is rooted in love, consistency, and truth, it travels.
“God doesn’t move off pressure — He moves with purpose. That magazine feature was a blessing I didn’t see coming.”
🧁 The Logo That Everyone Recognizes
The cupcake logo — complete with a cheeky glute — isn’t just funny. It’s legendary. Around the Bay Area, it’s become a symbol of quality, energy, and transformation.
Wherever it appears, whether on a hat, hoodie, or social post, people know what it means: The oven’s on, the vibes are high, and real work is being done.
“That logo is loud. But the message behind it is louder.”
🙏 Final Words from Marlon
“I’m blessed. Every day I get to train, teach, connect, and grow. This isn’t just about reps — it’s about real life and real people.”
“When you stay locked in, when you stay you — what you manifest will find you. I’m proof of that.”
Whether you’re lifting weights, jumping into a cold plunge, or just walking into The Cakery for the first time — one thing’s clear:
Marlon Rosales trainer is still baking… and the Bay is still eating it up.
