I've been working with Jay since the summer of 2023 about 2-3 times a week. Jay started off as my trainer and has since also become a great friend. Jay is professional, kind, and fun to spend time with. During our workouts we focus on exercises that will work multiple muscle groups to build strength but he also emphasizes cardio to improve heart health and core exercises to improve stability. Most importantly to me as a physician, Jay focuses on overall well being - reminding me regularly to reduce stress (consistent sleep, time outside), increase protein intake, and water intake. My initial goal was to lose weight. And with Jay, I've not only lost weight but I'm also stronger and more confident that I have ever been. I'm so grateful to Jay as a trainer and friend. read more

Train With Jay - Trainers Near Me - Studio City, California

Training with Jay has been one of the biggest highlights of my 2020 experience. Jay has been with me through so many changes like when I went to visit family last spring and was worried about losing all the progress I had made. He offered online training I was still able to get a great workout in. His creativity is incredibly impressive, we were able to make use of what random objects we found in the family's garage and it was both hilarious and amazingly effective! I never did a same workout the entire I was training with him, so every day it was exciting to see how far I could push my own limits. I highly recommend bringing a pen and notebook to notate what you do every workout with him, so you can practice later and because Jay is such a fountain of knowledge He listened carefully to how I was feeling at the start of the workout to assess how our last workout went just to make sure that I was getting the most effective workout possible. He held me accountable whenever I was tempted or completely fell off my fitness plan and always inspired me back to confidence and drive. I came to him at 4'10 and nearly 150 lbs and now at a lean strong 125lbs. Thank you, Jay, for being a part of my journey in health and wellness, you are an incredibly warm and beautiful soul. I still continue to follow your advice and have been feeling so amazing! read more

Jay is an incredible fitness coach/trainer. His workouts are extremely diverse and engaged, every workout is a challenge, and it's progressive so I'm always leaving feeling so much stronger. I'm never bored. Jay offers both in person and virtual training which is amazing because I travel a lot so being able to stay consistent with my routine is so helpful. When I'm person, Kay comes to my place and that is something I'm so grateful for. My biggest blocker for working out is time and the fact that Jay comes to me so I just have to walk upstairs ti shower before work is a complete game changer. Jay has shown me workouts and techniques I'd never learned in my many years of cross training and playing spots. I truly feel stronger after working with Jay. I look it too, but I'm not here for the weight loss. Jay has instilled a habit in me that I can't live without now.

Jay is the best women's personal trainer! Since I have a very inconsistent schedule and going to the gym wasn't always an option, I decided not to hire a personal trainer in Anne Arundel County, MD.

His weekly check-in kept me motivated and accountable. I continued to used the techniques I learned from him and I lost an additional 10lbs. read more

He keeps it real with you and tells you exactly what you need to know, keeping close attention to my eating habits and informing me/educating me on more healthier ones. Motivation is key and Jay knows how to keep his clients motivated, making each workout different and keeping it fun and interesting. As I've seen a change in my strength and structure, I look more and more forward to what workout Jay has planned for me, knowing they've been intensified for what my body can and can't handle. Jay makes sure to focus on each of his clients individually rather than a whole, altering that days workout just for you while paying close attention to correct form. I could not be any happier with the way I look and feel as well as the motivation I get that keeps me on my toes! read more

As a personal trainer myself, I was looking for an exceptional fitness trainer in LA to prepare me for a 5 day bootcamp up in Canada. I was lucky to come across Jay McLeod. I've been working out with Jay for 2 months now and his training has been outstanding.

There is always a personal touch to his customized work outs and something new to ensure that the nervous system is fully engaged.

Jay is a great trainer and has become a wonderful friend. I could not speak more highly of him. He holds you accountable: He checks in at the beginning of each session to make sure you're keeping up with the diet plan he's outlined. He pushes you to stay diligent with your choices and stay healthy. He's always available to provide great work out advice. Jay is very knowledgable about what exercises and food will result in the specific body you have in mind for yourself. He tells you what to do on days you don't meet. He's flexible about changing times if life gets in the way. He is encouraging and motivating, in fitness and in life.

First session with jay today. I am a very active cyclist and a cardio junkie. I was looking for a trainer that was reasonably priced compared to the 150 an hour I was paying at Equinox. I found Jay and I am happy with how things went today. He listened to my concerns about wanting more strength in my upper body since I am a preschool owner and also a little on the lean side. The session went great and I can't wait to wake up sore tmw. Highly recommend contacting Jay if you are looking for a straight forward trainer with expertise on kinesiology, health, nutrition, form and to kick your butt. Thanks Jay !! read more

I am a mother of 3 young kids. Needless to say how much I need a personal trainer. I walked into a Studio City Gym and the first person I met was him, Jay.

Jay is the best personal fitness trainer in Studio City, if not all of Los Angeles! I started training with Jay in 2015 when I decided I needed to drop some weight, get back in shape and re-incorporate physical fitness back into my life as a way to stay healthy, sane and manage stress. As a mother, a wife, and a business owner with a demanding schedule, that wasn't easy to do and Jay has been incredible at helping me figure out how to make health and fitness a regular part of my life. Our workouts are always challenging and he's always helping me figure out how to put a plan in place to tackle my busy schedule and then checking in on me to make sure I'm staying on plan. His disciplined approach combined with his sense of humor make him the best trainer I could ask for! I can't recommend him highly enough! read more

The only thing I can say is that, 'I'm glad I found Jay, and I'm glad I tried boxing!' I had been looking for a new cardio to add to running, when I noticed Jay training boxing to other women at my gym. He is a boxer himself and knows how to communicate the sport to a spectator like me. I have NEVER had such a sweat in my life... and that is what I was looking for! Jay gets me to focus on learning technique, movement, concentration, etc. 60 minutes passes like 5 minutes! He is strict, in a nice way, about diet, sleep habits, practice, etc. Jay is the best type of trainer to have, bc we all want to see results! read more

Jay is GREAT! I have been training with Jay for 2 months and have lost about 15lbs. He really pushes you. He constantly kicks up the intensity as you successfully complete the exercises.

I just lost 20 lbs and got myself in shape with muscle tone in 3 months and it was all due to Jay McCloud! Jay is the best trainer I have ever trained with in Los Angeles and better than anyone I trained with in New York City. Why? Because Jay knows how to individualize his training and meal plan approach to each individual, their body and their lifestyle even when it needs a change and you don't want to make those changes! He is extremely motivating, highly knowledgeable in all relevant areas and a hoot to boot! I am hard headed at times but Jay worked with that and helped me help myself to understand, envision and expedite what I needed to do to get to where I wanted to be. I cannot say enough great things about Jay. Even though I reached my goals I cannot imagine NOT training with this man to maintain what he assisted me in creating! Thank you Jay!!!! read more

I was needing some help to get myself back on track after being out of a consistent exercise regimen for a few months. I had my usual "relaxed" time during the holidays but my work and creative projects at the start of the year demanded much of my time and energy. I knew I needed help to get a jumpstart back to my natural love of physical activity. I did a search on Yelp (cuz Yelp is awesome like that) and came across Jay's profile. The reviews were great and he's a cutie so it was an easy decision. The workouts were challenging, never the same thing twice so you didn't get bored, and fun (he's got a great sense of humor). He has a background in a variety of disciplines so he can work appropriately with anyone from a novice to a professional athlete. Don't hesitate to reach out, have a session, and set up a game plan to reach your goals! read more

Truly the best trainer I've ever head. Totally put me on track for the body and fitness lifestyle that I want and need for my career, always positive and charismatic and never lets the workouts get repetitive or boring. I have never seen such dramatic body changes with any other trainer except for Jay! Awesome person to train with to meet your goals and shape up your physique. read more

I found Jay 2 years ago when I was looking to feel better both emotionally and physically. I also wanted to give boxing a try. When I searched for a trainer, I found Jay. I knew that he was for me since he was actually smiling in his pictures. I called and set up our first few sessions. From session #1, I knew I had found my forever trainer. In the past two years, I have transformed for the better both physically and emotionally. Jay customizes an eating plan, training plan and a life plan for you. He is much more than a trainer, he is a life coach. I train two to three days a week. Every time I train, I feel like a million bucks. He makes it fun but he also challenges you in a positive way. I have learned how to box which I never thought I would be able to do. He is a total pro as a trainer and just a super wonderful person. I am also a very busy woman in the film industry and he works with me and my schedule to make my fitness goals achievable. If you are looking for a trainer, look no further. Jay is the absolute BEST!! read more
