What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Valerie Truong
"Been working with Jairo for functional fitness now for 4 years. Safe to say, I’ve gotten much stronger with ZERO injuries due to working out. I feel less inclined to be injured in my real life as well due to our progress. He has introduced me to mobility exercises and I feel this will contribute to my health and longevity. Works with you in your long and short term goals, and my mindset has improved inside and outside of the gym."
Nicole Aragona
"Jairo is truly THE BEST! I’ve worked with a lot of very qualified boxing, jiu-jitsu, and personal trainers/coaches for many years and I can honestly say that Jairo is by far my favorite! Not only is he very qualified and skilled but he makes every session fun and enjoyable. I’ve never looked forward to working out as much as I do when I train with him!"
Kimberly Vollmer
"For 3 years I have trained with Jairo in jiu jitsu. He's always timely, attentive and dedicated to helping me grow and improve in the sport. The gym is clean and fully equipped and a very comfortable place to train. Jairo has helped me grow in confidence in self defense and takes to heart my concerns making sure to focus on the areas of concern. I can't express enough how much I look forward to training with him."
Valerie Truong
"I love this place. It is simple, but has everything you need to get an excellent workout. Jairo is a wonderful trainer. He is knowledgeable, and has great energy. He really focuses on form to prevent injury. Most importantly, he is very passionate about what he does. He thrives on his clients' successes. I would highly recommend!"
