Miguel Aguilar, the gym-owning, weight-pumping, entrepreneurial powerhouse who practically lived in beast mode, has sadly passed away. Known on social media as @selfmadefamilyinc, Miguel wasn’t just a fitness influencer; he was the CEO and founder of Self Made Training Facility, aka “The House of Gains.” He tragically passed on Saturday (December 21) after battling for three months following a September robbery attempt in Los Angeles that left him critically injured.
Let’s pause for a moment of silence and maybe a quick burpee in his honor. 🏋️♂️
The Heartbreaking Announcement
In a statement from his team—because even in death, Miguel’s squad rolls deep—they wrote:
“Miguel was more than just a leader; he was a visionary, a mentor, a father, a husband, a friend, and the guy who could lift heavier than anyone else in the room.”
Seriously, this man was the Tony Stark of the fitness world: charismatic, innovative, and always ready to bench-press life’s challenges. They went on to say he revolutionized personal training, inspired legions of fitness buffs, and made gym ownership look like the ultimate flex.
A Legacy of Strength
Miguel wasn’t just about pumping iron; he was about building dreams. His Self Made empire grew faster than your heart rate on leg day, inspiring countless trainers and fitness junkies to crush goals and build businesses. His team promised to keep his legacy alive by continuing his mission of innovation and swole supremacy.
“Miguel Angel Aguilar, 1981-2024 🙏🏼,” the tribute concluded. Rest in peace, king of the kettlebell.
The Tragic Incident
Back in September, Miguel was followed home by a group of men in what was basically a real-life horror movie. These individuals confronted him in his driveway—because apparently, gym parking lots weren’t dramatic enough. The senseless act of violence left Miguel critically injured.
While Miguel fought like a champion for three months, his injuries ultimately claimed his life. Thankfully, authorities have made progress: three suspects have been arrested and are facing enough charges to keep them behind bars for, well, forever. Justice might be slow, but it’s steady, much like a proper plank hold.
Final Thoughts
While Miguel is no longer with us, his legacy of strength, grit, and dedication lives on in the countless lives he touched. Whether you knew him as the gym guru, the family man, or just that insanely ripped dude on Instagram, Miguel Aguilar will always be remembered for leaving an indelible mark on the world of fitness.
So, next time you skip a workout, remember Miguel and get to it—because if there’s one thing he taught us, it’s that life’s too short not to hustle for the muscle. 💪
