Clients should expect a positive, fun and rewarding experience as well as customized programming designed to help them reach their unique health and fitness goals. The can also expect safety to be a number one priority. I will insure proper mechanics of each exercise and will ensure that you are performing each with correct form, thus maximizing the efficiency of your workouts. I also promise enhanced motivation.

All programs begin with a light to moderate warm up including upper & lower body. Strength and conditioning follows along with technique drills and punch mitts. Different modalities will be utilized.

* BOXING and Weight loss...BOXING specifically targeted to weight loss can help you burn more calories. BOXING also requires engaged core, upper body and lower body muscles.

* Everlast F.I.T. is an approach to fitness that combines traditional fight sports training with functional full-body strength and conditioning and enables you to enhance your skills and training.

All the muscles of the upper arms are used during boxing. The triceps aid the deltoids (shoulder muscles) in throwing punches such as the jab and cross, while the biceps stabilize the arms during hooks and help retract the arms quickly after all punches.

* It is well known that compound, whole body movements typical of KETTLEBELL exercises are superior to machines that isolate muscles for improving muscle tone, body composition, and strength. Further, KETTLEBELLS strengthen the tendons and ligaments, making the joints tougher and less susceptible to injury.

* The BALL SLAM works your shoulders, triceps, abdominals,quads, glutes, calves and back. Repeating the exercise will increase your heart rate and burn more calories.

* Improve explosive power with MEDICINE BALL movements. MEDICINE BALL training has been around since the ancient Greeks discovered health benefits from exercising with weighted balls. It is one of the oldest forms of strength and conditioning used to improve health,, explosive power, and speed.

* Jumping rope, even at avery moderate rate burns 10 to 16 calories a minute. Work your JUMP ROPE exercise into three 10-minute rounds and you're looking at 480 calories in half an hour. Ten minutes of skipping rope is about equivalent to running an 8-minute mile.

* The TRX SUSPENSION TRAINER reduces time spent pacing from one training station to another if you want to train different parts of the body. The core is challenged in every exercise. The core includes pelvis, abs, back and chest muscles. It is the core that improves your body stability, balance and flexibility.

* TRX RIP TRAINER exercises are among those considered to improve cardiovascular health, meaning there is an enhanced transport of blood to your working muscles. With this, your body better utilizes energy with the improved efficiency of the metabolic pathways, making you burn calories even after a workout is complete.

* BATTLE ROPES are often thought of as a tool for your upper body, which they are. However, their benefits don't end there. BATTLE ROPES work the muscles in your abs, back, and glutes and you can incorporate movements, such as jumps, lunges, and squats, that work your legs too.

* A staple training tool for the military, martial artists and strongmen, the SANDBAG is often associated as a tool in elite performance for male athletes. The SANDBAG isn't just for the boys though, women should also consider SANDBAG training to improve cardio, strength, endurance and flexibility.

* BOSU stands for "Both Sides Up" or "Both Sides Utilized." With a flat platform on one side and a rubber dome on the other (resembling half an exercise ball), it can help you improve your balance and flexibility, sharpen your reflexes, and reshape your body.

Coach Jose is phenomenal. I’ve worked with other trainers, and on my own, and I just feel the best after my workouts with him. I feel like I know how to work out safely, like I’m learning more, that it’s paced well, and that I can interject as needed.

Honestly the best part is that working out with Jose makes me want to work out more! Idk how he does it. Some combination of positive motivation, feeling the results…I don’t know. But before him it was hard to want to work out, and that’s greatly improved. Oh- and he helps talk through food too! Can’t recommend Jose enough.

Coach Jose is amazing.
I enjoyed every sec of training w him.
He is very nice also.
Highly recommend to anyone.

Great first session with Jose. He was very communicative and made sure I wasn't doing any exercises I couldn't handle. I felt like I was pushing my limits without risk of hurting myself.

My first session with Coach Jose was exactly what I needed. He really knows his stuff and explained his whole process as we went along. I knew I was in good hands. He is also a kind person and knows how to push me without making me nervous or intimidated. He encouraged other people exercising at the park as they went by too so I knew it was his true self and he wasn’t just putting on a show to try to get me to buy more sessions. He’s a good man down to the core with real passion and expertise who isn’t afraid to be himself. I am definitely going to book more sessions and can imagine myself training with Coach Jose for a long time!

Would highly recommend Jose to anyone looking for a coach who is going to bring out the best in someone. He makes sure you’re doing what you have to do during training and even at home. Wouldn’t switch him for anyone else!

Coach Jose is awesome. The workouts are challenging but he always checks in with me to make sure I'm okay and am pushing myself but not overdoing it. The workouts are so much fun and he really knows his stuff! I highly recommend working with him.

Coach Jose was excellent! Punctual, communicative, professional, no-nonsense...but made the lesson fun and engaging! Highly recommend!

Great session. Mix of boxing with some bodyweight and free weight exercises.

Cannot recommend enough.

Love the way he teaches! I will be using him long term!

Good Session

What an amazing coach. He knows what he is doing and will always work at your pace. Whether you choose to go all out or learn at a beginners pace. He will be with you every step of the way. So much fun to box with. Will be training again with him.

Coach Jose is great with my 9 year old son. I highly recommend him.

Best coach! Very energetic and pushes you to new lengths!

Great coach

Jose is the best!

I've been working with Jose for a couple of months now and what an incredible journey it's been. I'm really seeing such great results. Working out with Jose doesn't feel like work - he makes it super fun and super challenging at the same time. Jose mixes up our workouts and tailors each session based upon how I'm feeling that day. Jose is incredibly positive & a pleasure to be instructed by. I love learning how to box - he makes it seem easy & he's very encouraging. He's hands down the best trainer I've had and I highly, highly, highly recommend him. He's reliable, always makes me bring it and inspires me to get the most out of our workouts. I'm looking forward to being his client well into the future & you should be too! Deborah
Jose is a great boxing trainer! Supportive, encouraging, knowledgeable. I've been in a workout funk since I haven't been able to get to the gym, and I booked Jose after reading his awesome reviews. What a workout! Jose came prepared with TRX straps for warm-up and gave me safe exercises to do since I'm in my third trimester of pregnancy. He also talked about the best exercises that will help childbirth later on. We then did some light boxing drills and he added onto each sequence. He is very encouraging, supportive and also reminded me to control the pace, to take breaks, and signal once I was ready again. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone who knows his stuff and will work with you on exercises best suited for your fitness level and goals! Olivia L.
Jose is more than just a good trainer: he’s a good guy too! He put time and effort into learning about me, my goals and my preferences. He tailored my workouts to exactly what I needed and they worked fantastically!
I got to watch Jose work with a tenant in my building and was both intrigued & amazed at his professionalism, patience and knowledge of both boxing and fitness. I have been into fitness most of my life and also love boxing, so I immediately knew I wanted to work with him. After just a couple of sessions he now works with my wife & I. Highly recommended if you want to get in shape, gain confidence and have fun.
Jose is not only an incredible trainer but extremely kind and professional. After having a baby 13 weeks ago, he has me feeling like i am close to my pre birth fitness levels.
Great coach , had our first session today and already booked a package deal ! Defenitly knows how to teach ! Great guy ! 5 stars for me 100% !
Jose is the quintessential pro— serious skills ik boxing and TRXing
Work out with Jose means it will be a good day. Great body work out that puts your mind in a happy place too. Jose pushes you just the right amount allowing you to listen to your body. He makes it fun by slightly changing the routine every time. That makes me so excited and interested what he has for me this time. Thanks to Jose I’m feeling muscles that I never felt before, I fell in love with boxing and I can clearly see progress I make. Loving Jose as a trainer and a person!
Jose is not only an incredible trainer but extremely kind and professional. After having a baby 13 weeks ago, he has me feeling like i am close to my pre birth fitness levels.
Jose is a thoughtful and professional trainer. I feel more motivated after our session and I look forward to next time!
The man instilled in me, positive vibes, strong work ethic, tons of energy & an understanding of how to handle myself just in case a situation occurs & I need to. He understood if I didn't feel comfortable with a certain exercise. My favorite thing he taught me is the position of my feet. Which way their supposed to be pointed, which creates balance. Also how the strength of a punch begins with your feet. I could write all day about what he taught me
Jose is a very dedicated trainer who will customize and adjust any workout plan to meet your needs, goals and abilities. He’s very accommodating in terms of his time and always arrives ready to go. He goes through 99% of the workout with you and provides great motivation throughout. Anyone looking to step up their fitness to a whole new level should work with a Jose.
Even though, I've only worked for a few sessions with Jose so far, I already know that I'll stay with him in the long-term for the following reasons: 1) He's Professional: He's always punctual and keeps the time in his own watch to make sure you get the time you paid for. 2) He provides comprehensive guidance: Jose not only trains you, he also helps you in other aspects of your performance such as diet. 3) He has a flexible schedule: If you happen to get a free space that you didn't anticipate, you can call him with approximately a 2-hour notice and he'll be there training you. Overall, Jose is a cool and professional guy that I definitely recommend. Whether you're training for your next bout or you just want to get in shape, he's your guy.
Jose is an excellent trainer. Keeps great energy, pushes you hard but keeps it fun! Highly recommend him to anyone.
Jose is as good as it gets! He takes the time to listen to your goals. He can tweak any workout in a moments time, if you don't want to work a particular muscle at that given time or you're just plain sore from the previous session he put you through. He genuinely wants to help people reach their goals. But most of all, he's patient! I would absolutely recommend him!
Best trainer ever! Truly cares about his clients and helping them reach their goals. Highly recommended.
As close to perfection at training on the mitts w out being in the Mayweather family
Jose is the best all around trainer for anyone who wants to make a difference in their body/ life. He’s the absolute best teacher- patient, clearly informative and I can see and feel my own progress after only a short few weeks. Jose is a realistic trainer - he puts in the work just as much as you do...therefore- he strives for the best in each client and only wants to see results.
Jose gets right down to business, listens to your needs, concerns at a even pace while keeping the workout upbeat and challenging. I was specifically looking for a challenging boxing mitt work out and i was very happy with the result. highly recommend.
It was my first time training with Jose yesterday & I feel so sore but so good today. It feels like I actually did something right. He knew exactly what he was doing and he explained the exercises down to the T. At first I was intimidated as I've never had someone train me but it was a great first experience. He's well educated in this field and he pushed to me go harder. He'd throw motivation here and there every time I did stop and it made me push myself. This is my first step to feeling better and healthier. I liked that he had music on too since we were in the park working out. Overall, it was a great first training session. Thanks, Jose!
The workout was awesome. Highly recommend!
I just started training with Jose and I am already feeling so much better! He really tailors each workout to feel maximum results and I feel myself improving each session. I highly recommend Jose and I am excited for our fitness journey together!
My husband and I have tried personal trainers in the past, but never felt fulfilled by the experience. After just one session so far with Jose, it's clear to us that we have found a great match. Jose asked all the right questions, and was positive, motivating, and has a very calming presence. He worked us out hard, and my husband stated it was the most challenged he's felt in long time. We're so happy we found Jose!
Jose is a professional. He provides challenging and interesting workouts and will teach you how to effectively work out while on your own. I am very happy with my experience and now train with him routinely.
This is my first time working with a personal trainer and Jose made it feel like I've worked with him before. His instructions were clear and on point. His tell, show, do style of training is easy to follow and very helpful. The order of exercises and the difficulty for each one made the session feel planned and that is something I appreciated. Jose is also a great motivator. I would recommend his services to anyone serious about their fitness.
Jose is some one that really cares about helping people achieve their goals. Very genuine and knowledgeable. Definitely a trainer that is creative and resourceful. Within the first 10 minutes into training I realized that he knows how to push you and tell by your body language if he needs to change workouts or excercises. Definitely refer to any one serious about improving their health or life overall. In just an hour I have taken in a lot of information about nutrition and routines as well. Great individual, give him a try, will not regret his methods and patience.
Join my friend/trainer Jose for an amazing workout. Back in 1998 him & I represented the same boxing gym in Sunset Park, Brooklyn and fought each other at MSG for the Golden Gloves Championship. Now he's here following his dream with his business "Fitness By Fire. He's giving out free consultations to whoever is interested. Perfect for those in the Bensonhurst, Brooklyn area but he also does home visits. Train like a fighter. Train for the fight...of your life. Choose him. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! (Pro boxer)
Jose is an awesome trainer and knows how to motivate me. He makes each of my training sessions challenging, yet rewarding. I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a personal trainer to help you achieve your fitness and health goals. He is continually ensuring you have the right form, he lets you know when you are doing well, and he is really good at motivating me to push myself. He is a genuinely caring person and will work with you to meet your goals. I sometimes feel like giving up, but I don't because he assures me i could do it and I believe in my self.
