MEET BLANCA
"The Original Chingona"
Blanca has lost over 50 pounds of body fat and is stronger than ever. She has successfully reversed her fatty liver and has no plans to stop. As a mother of four boys and a full-time boss, she has not missed a single session since she started working with me almost two years ago. That’s what I call ECHÁNDOLE GANAS!
TESTIMONIALS
KATHERINE POLANCO
25lbs down and 10% body fat lost in 6 months! Never did I think I could do this by strength training at the gym. I'm a nurse and trying to figure out what exercises to do after working or on my days off was a challenge for me.
After working long shifts, I was too tired to figure out what to do and how to do the exercises. In the past, I would seldomly go to the gym, go on the treadmill, and my diet was inconsistent/unhealthy.
Coach Jay has made staying consistent with my nutrition and the gym easier. Don't get me wrong it's a lot of hard work, but once you get in the routine of it, it's easier to stay consistent. Coach Jay has gym sessions planned for you and helps you do the exercises properly.
He also has two amazing trainers, Coach Josie and Coach Rae, training us as well. Not only do you get great workouts, but he's also built a Latina focused fitness community where we get together outside of the gym, get to know each other, and keep each other motivated.
Overall, would definitely recommend training with Team Ganas 1000%!! It's worth the investment in your health
NICOLE GARCIA
I've tried going to a gym time and time again and I either a) got bored and stopped going or b) felt overwhelmed with where to begin. But not with Jay. I've never been this excited to go to the gym. Ever. But I roll out of bed at 5:45am excited and ready to rock my workouts!
I love that I can easily access my program via a training app, broken down by day with exactly what I will be doing, how much rest I should be taking between sets, and different means to track my progress. And the community... there are no words.
Jay's built an AMAZING and supportive community with Team Ganas. You feel it in the gym. Lastly, Jay makes working out FUN. Even when you curse his name seeing Bulgarian squats in your workout split. ;)
If you've felt lost in the gym or are looking for a supportive group that honestly becomes like family, then Team Ganas is IT!
You won't regret it!
GLORIA GUITERREZ
I had never worked out in a gym before starting my training with Jay. I had thought about getting a personal trainer for a very, very long time but I let my lack of confidence in the gym, time, budget, etc. get in the way.
I started in April 2024, and I can confidently say training with Jay has been life changing - both physically AND mentally. My training sessions have become my mental sanctuary. All the life/work chaos and stresses quiet when I'm training.
And physically - I feel stronger! I feel more confident. It has been invaluable to have Jay walk me through every single work out, learn the proper form, push me to hit PR's that I could not have gotten on my own in such a short time.
Now that I've started my fitness journey, I regret not starting earlier - but better now than never. If this resonates, take the first step and reach out to Jay...best decision you'll make.
