I had a pretty bad high ankle sprain back in January 2025 from rolling it on a teammates foot, no…read morefractures found in X-ray--I was non-weight bearing, on a knee scooter, into a boot, and progressed to walking into a shoe with minimal guidance from friends who are PTs. I was back to exercising regularly and playing volleyball in March. It wasn't until May that I found out I had a hairline fracture and bone bruising through MRI because I was still complaining about pain. I was told by the orthopedic doctors and a podiatrist that I needed surgery for my ankle, but I ultimately didn't want to do that. I didn't like any of the PTs that were in my area and in-network. I found Dr. Jay by chance--a simple yelp search and I found out he was walking distance from me. I dm'd him, back in December, my history and asked if surgery was the only way to go, and he responded pretty quickly that he's had the same injury and was able to get back into sports without going under the knife. After talking to Dr. Jay via zoom, I was convinced that he was gonna be the one to help me regain strength and mobility in my ankle. Dr. Jay is very knowledgeable, he'll breakdown the anatomy and physiology so you know what's happening with your body, and he'll teach you the right mechanics for the exercises. He also went over types of shoes I should be wearing during different types of exercises which is important because the shoes I wore were affecting my ankle and foot mobility. Dr. Jay doesn't just treat the symptom, he treats you as a whole because everything in the end is all connected. Dr. Jay will create workout routines that are suitable for you, and will tailor it based on your needs, such as what gym you go to/equipment you have. Send videos and updates on your workouts/daily activities so you can get his feedback, and he can tweak exercises/give you tips on what you can do in those exercises to reduce pain. One thing I needed to learn was that I didn't have the same capacity for load as I did pre-injury, and that I needed to not overdo it on exercises even though, mentally, I felt like I could do more. "When strain exceeds capacity, leads to negative adaptations. When strain stays right below capacity, positive adaptations. Learn through mistakes, and learn quickly on how to find the right amount." I'm very hard on myself, especially when training declined due to illness, holidays, vacations, and or pain (due to overloading/wearing too rigid shoes). Dr. Jay stayed positive and continued to encourage me. He reminded me that we are not perfect, and it is okay to take breaks. Dr. Jay's program gave me the structure, guidance, and motivation I needed to get back to running and jumping without fear. He's helped me gain the knowledge and confidence to get back on the court. Will definitely recommend Dr. Jay to anyone I know who's dealing with chronic pain and willing to put in the work!

I started working with Dr. Jay this summer after having recurring shoulder pain following a…read moresnowboarding fall. Despite shifting to lower impact workouts for months and having weekly acupuncture appointments I kept reinjuirng it. It was keeping me from my favorite activity, surfing, and I was feeling mentally and physically frustrated. After my first session with Dr. Jay, I learned I had weak lats (common for those of us with desk jobs) and he gave me a mobility routine that quickly lessened my discomfort. After starting my custom strength training routine the pain and annoyance went away entirely and I was back surfing about 5 weeks later. Dr. Jay did an amazing job of not only tailoring a routine to my needs and the activities I love, but he explained why each one was helpful for my body and my goals. He was always available if I had any questions or if I needed him to give me a more detailed breakdowns of the exercises. He was also great about education; if my shoulder or neck is feeling pinchy or off, I now know exactly what I need to do to feel better. You just have to be ready to put in the work! I am about to hit my mid-thirties and I am grateful to have a go to strength training routine. I feel better than ever. I highly recommend Dr. Jay if you're coming back from an injury or looking for a professional to help you reach your fitness goals. My only regret is not contacting him sooner!

You will see kids, teens and adults all doing the sweet science of boxing which will make you want to better yourself. Fire in the Ring or "Ring of fire" has been a gym that I went to from 2012-2013 because of it strength conditioning program. Which actually lead to my cousin joining and fighting for the gym under Clyde and Cleo. The gym overall has expanded and when I began training there again mid to late 2021 and I was hooked. The vibe and aura of the gym gave you such surreal feeling that you know everyone here means business. You see different age ranges training at the gym to also amateur and pro fighters. The coaches are mostly busy training either the kids program or the fighters. The fighters tend to all train together. While as other fighters train with their own trainers. If you don't plan on fighting, the bags and weights are open for all. If you're starting out and trying to learn as an adult I would say ask the coaches and they will be happy to give a tip or two but mind they're mostly busy training the fighter and the kids program. Ask other fighters or members for tips and when you do perform. Someone will either give you the 'nod' of acceptance or they will come by and help you out. During the duration I trained there it was really all business in that gym. Everyone trains and no games. The gym isn't a Fitness boxing gym, it is not a place where the coach will stand in front of a group of people and talk on a head set while playing Zumba boxing. This is a boxing gym that's probably one of the handful of authentic boxing gyms left in The Bay Area.

From the start, everyone has been incredibly welcoming and supportive. My first class was with Head Coach Raquel, who was super friendly and helpful. She took time after my intro class to go over my stats and patiently answer all my questions, which made a great first impression. I originally started with an 8-class/month membership, but upgraded to unlimited when I signed up for the Transformation Challenge in January. While challenges sometimes require an extra registration fee, I highly recommend them -- they're a great way to stay motivated and committed to your goals. The studio staff is also wonderful. They're always helpful, whether it's handling late arrivals, class cancellations, or loaner OTBeat Burn monitors. I really appreciate how accommodating they are. One thing I've noticed is how strong the community is -- a lot of members seem to know each other and have built friendships here. While I haven't made friends with other members yet, the fact that coaches (Raquel, Victoria) and staff (Lawvan, Ivan, Aidan) remember my face makes me feel welcome and seen. If I had to note a couple of areas for improvement, the treadmills feel a bit dated -- the built-in fans blow a bit of dust even after cleaning -- and the InBody scanner used for the Transformation Challenge is more of a consumer-level version, unlike the professional-grade ones I've seen at other studios. Hopefully those are things the studio can upgrade over time. That said, this place is still my favorite part of my fitness routine. The friendly atmosphere, supportive coaches, and helpful staff keep me coming back. I'm so glad I found this studio!

I've worked with Nico across multiple sessions and this last one was by far the most challenging --…read moreillness, an injury, and a job loss all hit at once. Despite everything, Nico kept me grounded, positive, and focused. Workouts, macros, water, protein, protein, PROTEIN! He has a way of keeping you in the game even when life is throwing everything at you. This session had a tighter timeline -- I was prepping for a very special family event -- so the approach was more of a sprint compared to the gradual builds we've done in past sessions. Different, but it worked. And the real test? Traveling right before the event -- no gym, couldn't track macros, water intake was a mess -- and I still felt AMAZING. I showed up feeling like the best version of myself. That is 100% because of Nico. He is more than a trainer. He's a coach, a cheerleader, and an inspiration. The tools and mindset he's given me go beyond any single goal because at the end of the day, this is a lifestyle. If you're looking for someone who will truly invest in YOU -- not just your workouts -- Nico is your person.

Nico was super nice in the beginning, but as time passed, he started being pretty rude and condescending in his replies to me.

After about 6 weeks, I decided I didn't feel comfortable proceeding with a person who didn't welcome my communication.
