Thus has been a great experience have been training with Jae for almost 3 months and down 22 lbs already. I am in the best shape of my life and endurance has increased significantly. Boxing is not as simplistic as it seems to be. Jae teaches form, technique and coordination with which without training cannot be achieved. Been a great experience. Thanks

Jae is really a great trainer who took time to teach me the essentials of self defense. It takes a lot of patience and knowledge to teach someone to coordinate their mind and body to make them the best they can be. I can see change in myself so recommend him for whatever your goals might be!

Great boxing trainer! Taught me all the fundamentals and helped me correct my flaws. Best of all is the one-on-one sparring sessions, which have helped me grow immensely as a fighter. I’m satisfied with the sessions and results!

I started training with Jae to learn boxing and it has been a great investment. He takes the time to really tailor an individual plan based on current fitness level and goals. I have seen tremendous progress from working with Jae and he has held me accountable for me to stay on track. He is a nice guy to be around and you can tell he truly cares about his client’s success.

Jae is one of the best trainers out there!
My goal was to learn the sport of boxing, tone up, and enjoy working out again—and Jae made that happen. He truly listened to my goals and crafted the perfect plan. Not only did he meet my expectations, but he far exceeded them. I’m stronger, more confident, and actually look forward to every session. Highly recommend!

I started boxing training with Jae in May 2024 and I must say it was one of the best things I could do for myself! He gave me so much information and made me see things differently. I have a more healthier food regimen and I know exactly what I need to do to lose weight! During my transition I lost over 40 pounds! I over exceeded my goal and I am still not even halfway finished with my program! Jae is a great trainer!! Thank you so much!

I work with Jae for 1:1 boxing training when I’m in North Carolina. He takes the time to explain technique, form, and drills so you can take what you learn and incorporate it into your solo training as well. He’s able to structure the workouts to focus on unlearning any bad habits, correcting your weaknesses, and developing your reactiveness. I would recommend him for all levels of clients - whether you’re a beginner or an experienced boxer.

I started personal training with Jae seven months ago and have loved it! Boxing is such a lovely way to relive stress and confidence! I started to get in shape and stayed for all these extra benefits I found. Jae is great - very good instructor, has helped me tremendously with form and is always super on point! I’m really glad I started with personal training instead of a group class because there is so much more focus on me learning form and learn the right habits!

Jae is great! He takes the time to have a first consultation meeting to go over nutrition and what my fitness goal were. This helped to curb some of the bad eating habits I had. Through our sessions, we've done boxing and key areas.where I wanted to mainly focus on. I've gotten healthier and stronger that even my family notices. Some pants that I wasn't able to fit in before now fit, which is amazing. He's such a good motivator and also strives to get the best out of his clients. Hightly recommend!

Jae is knowledgeable in boxing and puts effort into teaching it properly. He isn’t the drill sergeant type - he will encourage you to go the extra mile if he thinks you can. He will adjust to what you prefer to do on a given day and to your preferred exercise (such as weights, HIIT, endurance). Possibly my favorite thing about Jae is his ability to be flexible with time. He won’t penalize for missing a session, and can often find different times on a whim to adjust. He truly cares about helping people be well!

Jae's an excellent trainer! He has a very unique approach and caters his training style to fit your specific needs. He takes a few sessions to get to know you, but once he has a grasp on your personality and motivation, he knows exactly which buttons to push to help you get to where you want to go. He also takes out time to educate you on proper nutrition and offers plenty of helpful tips that will improve your diet and accelerate your progress. He not only gets you physically ready, but also mentally ready for the journey. Also very flexible with scheduling, has accommodated my work schedule on multiple occasions, which is very appreciated. Lost 30 pounds in three months, give or take, still have a ways to go, but looking forward to what comes next!

Working with Jae has changed my life. I never thought I would have the energy to box. Not only can I box now, but I have gained muscle mass and a different mindset. He has taught me new eating habits and a new found way of looking at food. With Jae's help, I have built my self confidence and I'm ready to take on things I would not have before. Thank you Jae!!

Jae is a great motivator, working out with him has challenged me and propelled me to continue my health goals. He’s knowledgeable about health and fitness; and is extremely dedicated to motivating you to improve all habits related to your health. I’ve been working with Jae during the pandemic and his attention to a clean, covid safe environment is fantastic.

A millionThank you’s Jae!!!

Jae is one the best trainers I’ve ever worked with. He has a through understanding of how the mind and brain work together and uses that to physically push you through your point of failure

He has educated me and simplified the overly complicated world of nutrition out there in the world and on the internet.

Because of Jae I now wake up regularly at 4:00 a.m in the morning to start my day “everyday” (even though we only train twice a week.) and have conquered one of my lifelong challenges of finding out Why I’ve always struggled to be an early person.

With Jae I will always be a life long student

I have been training with Jae since September of 2019. A lot of work is packed into 30 minutes. Training with Jae not only provides you with the tools you need to work out and for your workouts to be effective, but he also provides knowledge about your body and how everything works together. Jae provides you with information that you can use everyday to continue to improve your health and those around you. I highly recommend training with Jae for anyone that is looking to break out of their normal routine and achieve long lasting results.

I would recommend training with J to anyone. I was never big on working out because I felt like I didn't know what I was doing. I called J and he has changed all of that for me! I work with him about 4 times a week. He is great at explaining the movements and making sure my form is correct. The exercises never gets old and I am constantly challenging myself applying what he teaches me. Some of the exercises I do while working with him I would have never thought j could do. I feel ten times more comfortable going to the gym on my own now. He motivates and pushes me when I would have given up while working out by myself.

This is the first time I've been able to stick with an exercise program for longer than a week. That's because J always keeps it interesting. Really important if, like me, you don't find the standard gym membership very motivating. J's boxing workout has me feeling healthier and thinking clearer in a little under a month. The fact that his approach is patient but progressive, is really helpful.

I started working with James to regain the strength that I had lost due to a chronic pain issue I have been dealing with for the last 3 years. His workouts get me in and out of the gym in half the time, without sacrificing results. In the 12 weeks I have been working with him, my strength has been regained and inches have been lost. James knows his stuff, he works with you and your goals, he was flexible and able to adapt his plan to my sometimes challenging limitations. I am very glad I made the investment to work with James and look forward to continuing to make progress towards my goals.

Working with Jae helped boost my confidence and believe in myself. Training your body doesn't take just dedication, you have to have time (at least 30mins a day) to work on yourself and discipline. The word Discipline is easy to say, but in our day to day activity there’s so many temptation that can ruin our motivation. He helped me to plan my diet, how I can start my morning and end my day with healthy nutrition. He suggested taking fruits and nuts daily and avoid dairy, it might sound simple. But again, once I started implementing and following his advice, I saw big results from my energy level and gradually into body result. We train 30 minutes a day depending on your work schedule, you’ll have one an one evaluation with him, whats your body goals and how to achieve it. I love that he incorporate boxing in between our session that helped me sharpen my mind and stay aware with my surrounding. We split our training focusing in different areas of our muscle, he showed me proper way to do certain exercises to activate your muscle and how to avoid injury. He always remind me “Mind and Body Connection”, and it works!!! In 3 months, I started to feel the results in my body, muscles that I’ve never thought I’ll be able to train it. I saw changes in my muscle tonality and overall my perspective in healthy eating. Big Thanks Jae!!!! I highly recommend training with him, he’s very informative and experienced trainer, he won’t fail you!

Jay is very attentive and really cares about you throughout the whole process. I've never really been into the gym scene, but after working out with Jay and him showing me how to properly work out to get the best results, I don't know what I'd do without the gym! Not only will he show you how to work out properly, he'll also show you how to eat right so that you can be the best you. Highly recommend him!

J has done a fabulous job with our 12 year old son Jacob. Jacob had an interest in boxing, and though my husband didn’t support this training at first, he now agrees that this has been such a great thing for our son. Jacob has had the following results in just a couple of months: Much improved foot work, incredible self confidence gains , 10 pound weight loss, and stamina and attitude improvement. We have been thrilled with this investment in our son and highly recommend J!

Professional boxing training is one of the fastest ways to maintain weight control, lose unwanted body fat, relieve stress and add more fun to your workout. You won't find boxers training on a machine or doing a jazzercise class, they're doing workouts that not only make them better athletically but also produce rapid fat loss results. I have worked out with Coach J for a number of years now and I have found no other workout that gives me the combination of cardio, strength conditioning, stress relief, and weight loss/ control that training like a boxer does. Coach J likes to say that all you need to complete a workout you carry with you everyday. Learning to train like a boxer is a fantastic way to spice up your workouts and get back to basics. If you're up to pushing yourself a little, and did I say relieving some stress then Coach J will show you how. Not only is he a great trainer, he's an all-around great guy too.
