If you're reading this, than chances are you're thinking similar things that I was about 10 months ago. I was bored with my workout routine - especially working out alone where I knew I wasn't pushing myself to my full capabilities. I was also feeling nervous - after playing soccer at a high level my whole life, I was coming off of a strange undiagnosable hip pain which had lingered with me even after 2 months of PT. But I felt strongly that I really needed to shake up my workout routine and that I wouldn't be able to get to the level I wanted on my own. So I turned to Yelp and started meeting with trainers/training groups around Long Beach. I began to realize that I would not be motivated by fear or guilt. Then I got in touch with Jaiya and he encouraged me to try working out with his group for free the first session...what a revelation - let people train with you once to see if they actually LIKE the trainer's workout and style? Seriously, that alone began to turn things around for me. Also, being led by a trainer who has also played sports on a high level and understands the passion and frustrations of being a life-long athlete goes a long way in establishing credibility for me. Working out with this group has been exactly what I needed. I thrive on a group mentality, but one where people challenge, push, and support one another to be better and more than they imagined they could be. Taking off my shoes and running through the park and sand made my hip pain disappear and made me remember why I love running and love to workout. After this workout, you will feel fatigue, but you will feel strength and clarity, both mentally and physically. Jaiya is serious about your fitness, but he will always approach it with a sense of humor and love of the process. He will encourage you and share in your victories. This is like no other workout group that you have ever been part of - in all the best possible ways. read more

I started group training with Jaiya after several months of personal/individual training with another trainer. I've found the group training to be vastly superior, partly because of Jaiya's demanding but personable training style and partly because of the encouraging camaraderie among the trainees. It should be clear to anyone from the get-go that Jaiya has years of training experience. He's familiar with a lot of different sports, and uses that familiarity to create varied workout schemes. He also offers -- and even wrote a booklet about -- his training philosophy and his extensive knowledge of physiology, nutrition, and the details of gaining muscle and losing weight. He always accommodates your level of fitness -- whatever it may be -- as well as any injuries you may be suffering from. But it's also the supportive friendliness that Jaiya helps foster among the trainees that is so invigorating about YNV. The group setting is, at least for me, an unexpected treasure; I've found as much inspiration and support from the other trainees as I have from Jaiya (and that's not a knock on him). It's a cliche, but: I'm in the best shape of my life because of Your Next Victory. I've lost fat and toned up, but more importantly, I've learned to push myself harder and to love working out -- something I never thought possible. read more

I have been training with Jaiya for several years now. I am incredibly inspired by Jaiya as a professional coach and an inspiration to the development of personal excellence. The group workout classes are challenging and fun because everyone trains at a different level and supports and motivates each other in training. Every workout is entirely different so it "wakes" the body up for the possibility of true change. Being consistent in my training with Jaiya has made all the difference for me in my body, heart and mind. In these classes both your body and mind are challenged. The workouts help a person detox, change the shape of ones body and release low self esteem, negative mind and unproductive attitudes. Jaiya is an athlete himself so his professional coaching is skilled and sensitive enough to guide your body to go further without hurting yourself. He brings his expertise to each session. It becomes obvious to you when you train with Jaiya that he has been trained and coached by some of the top coaches in fitness. To invest in yourself in this training is one of the smartest investments a person could ever make. This program by far is the best workout that is offered that is out there and I would personally recommend it for anyone that wanted to become the best that they can be! read more

YNV with Jaiya truly is a great training program. I started training here a couple months ago during the morning hours a few times a week. The personalized training you receive in the small group setting (under 10 people) really lets feel like you have a one on one personal trainer working with you every step of the way to meet your goals. Jaiya is very knowledgeable, passionate, motivating, and super friendly. He becomes friends with all his clients and makes you look forward to training. I am already seeing tremendous results within myself, my mind, and my body in a very short time. I can't believe it took me this long to realize what I have been missing. YNV is a great place to start a positive change in your life, continue on a mission you are involved in, or just to try something new and exciting. The workouts are tough, motivating, and mentally stimulating as they transcend the physical realm and mold your mind into thinking positive and with confidence. YNV will help you reach your potential in more ways then you could have imagined. Do not listen to the coupon junky below who did not base any of the review on the actual structure nor outcome of the performance aspect of YNV. Jaiya is the man pure and simple! read more

I AM CELEBRATING THE FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE BEST RELATIONSHIP EVER!!! ME!!!! Yes. I have been a year with YNV and it's something I do for myself. I wake up for the morning workouts with a good attitude. "I wake up today for myself; not for work, not for someone else.... for ME!" A year ago I decided to go out for a run by the beach when I saw a group of people working out and Jaiya (YNV) invited me to join... after the first exercise I felt nauseous and was about to faint. Jaiya helped and took time to explain why my body responded that way. I found it very interesting and decided to continue. At first I was working out to fit into a silk bridesmaid dress but then I stayed because after a couple of weeks I noticed an attitude change in me. I noticed my body felt so much better, my mind was clearer and I felt so happy all the time! When I tell people that I work out with a trainer they think there goes half my paycheck. But they don't know YNV, price is so reasonable! I couldn't believe I was able to fit it in my little budget!!! Even on days that it seems so easy to cut it, I then remember that this is MY thing - I can't let go and give up on myself. This is for ME! read more

I started this work-out this summer due to the fact that my school gym was unavailable. I signed on for the one month promotion to keep myself in shape, but little did I know, this program ended up being one of the best decisions I've ever made. First of all, after the first day I immediately felt better about myself, granted I was so sore I couldn't walk, but that was the beauty of it. I work out regularly, but never have I ever felt such a surge of energy and potential in myself. Jaiya (our trainer) pushed us to our ultimate limit, he made us reach our goals straight off the bat, and he single-handedly made me feel 10 times better about myself within just one week. After a week I was eating healthier, making healthier decisions in my lifestyle, and working out regularly 4-5 times a week. I lost 12 lbs in the first two weeks there. Needless to say, I stayed on after (even though my school gym is readily available). However, my school gym can't push me to reach my goals and potential as much as the wonderful trainers at Your Next Victory can. They have your best interest at heart, and you can tell. I've never been in better shape, and I refuse to give up now. read more

I quit my sport about 2 years ago and got a little lost with a training regiment. I hated going to the gym by myself and then only found time to run a couple of days a week. I felt awful because I used to work out a couple times a day almost 6 days a week. One day running at the beach Jaiya asked me to jump in, I said I had to get to work. Then I continued to complain about my lack of training. So, finally one day I stopped when I saw Jaiya and asked about the training, and as before he suggested I finish the work out with him. And, I did. It was great. I loved the variety. The intensity reminded me of my old training and I thought I've found a new home for me workouts. No work out is ever the same. My body always feels the work out. I love that Jaiya adjusts the work outs for each individuals abilities. Now I'm trying to find out how I can find more days to fit in a work out. My energy feels great and my body feels like it is back in shape. I highly recommend YNV for anyone that enjoys a great work out that will push you to do better and better! read more

I have always been a pretty active person, but I get bored with exercise programs really quickly and therefore never lose the weight I really hope to. With YNV, I have been training in boot camp style-workouts and groups workouts and throughout the hour, I never once wonder when time will be up. Jaiya keeps us so busy, doing different circuit training, running, boxing and many types of exercises I have never performed before. This keeps me into the workout all the way through, and always feeling successful afterwards. Besides the training, Jaiya really cares about his clients and wants to know what your health/fitness goals are, and what has stopped you from reaching them in the past. He is extremely knowledgeable on how the body works and his passion is eminent. He has brings positivity and really stresses the need to change your mind, and the body comes next. His website is also very helpful, with all the online tools needed to help boost tour results. www.yournextvictory.com. Definitely a way to go if you're looking to change your lifestyle!! read more

Well where do I begin. The last time I saw Jaiya was almost 20 years ago when we were in high school together. I think there was a higher power that reunited us as friends again, because when I ran into him in Long Beach while driving, I was laid-off going on a year! Jaiya must have seen it in my eyes and he called me up and told me about YNV. He said that I needed to get my body right again so my mind can follow. Well, 6 months has passed and I'm still looking for work, but YNV has been a great experience for me. The work outs are extreme!!!! The attitude is great! and the trainers are at the top of their level. Classes are friendly yet intense! I recommend YNV to everyone I see. It really helped me get my body stronger and my mind straight. Going on 6 months now, I've lost 2 inches to my waste and feel twice as strong as before. Above all, there is nothing but positive stimulation at YNV. They really helped my body and mind. I'm still going today. IF YOU WANT YOUR LIFE TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER, JOIN YNV!!! SEE YOU THERE! read more

Before I started working out with YNV I felt like I was always working out but never getting results. I was about 35 lbs. over-weight, going for long periods of time without eating and wondering why I couldn't get the extra weight off. After meeting with Jaiya from YNV, I learned how to eat correctly, exercise wisely and I started to lose weight. Over a period of 4 months I saw the pounds shed off. This was the first time I had been able to lose weight by changing my lifestyle and adapting to a new routine that was sustainable. Never before had I lost weight in a healthy way. Although simplistic changes had to be made, they were very important changes. And the coolest thing is that I don't have to starve myself anymore. If you really want to lose some weight - or just get into great physical condition, you need to give YNV's work-out and nutritional guide a try. If you follow the advice, you will not only get results - you'll learn how to live a healthy life. read more

I started with Jaiya 6 months ago, and his workouts have completely changed my life!!! I used to go to the gym, thinking I was getting a great workout and boy was I wrong!!

Jaiya and Sage are AWESOME. Knowledgeable, supportive, TOUGH, embodiments of what they coach, creative, funny, likeable, I can go on and on re: their qualities. I'm an athletic person and I've worked out with personal trainers before. GROUP training blows personal training OUT OF THE WATER. We never do the same workout twice. I am ALWAYS sore. It's inspiring and motivating to see a small group of other like-minded individuals sweating (you WILL SWEAT) and moving right along with you. Whether you're in kick-a** shape or a couch potato, Jaiya and Sage will work with you on any level. I'm addicted. I loathe my 2 days of the week when I go to the normal GYM and workout solo now! My friends and coworkers are amazed at the results that they've seen on me, too. I'm fitting into my in-shape clothes again. If you're thinking about it: JUST DO IT. read more

YNV changed my life! In the year and a half since I started I have seen a huge change in not only my body, but my attitude as well. I have muscles now and I feel stronger and in better shape than ever. Jaiya switches things up all the time, so no two workouts are the same. He challenges us physically and mentally. These are not traditional generic workouts. We get dirty all the time so this is not for the princess athlete. YNV requires you to be a warrior, inside and out! I have a better attitude about my self, my body and my life. Traditional gyms and workouts are nothing compared to YNV. I am so grateful for YNV and Jaiya, especially for helping me become a better, stronger, more confident warrior! read more

I love Jaiya and Your Next Victory! After a month of the living social deal I knew this had to be a permanent fixture in my life. Not only do I look different, but I am excelling in so many aspects of my life. I am an artist and have unleashed so much creativity in the past few weeks it blows me away. I definitely link that with the workouts and my changing state of mind. I have also taken huge steps forward in my workplace as well with a new found confidence. If you are considering a personalized workout plan this is the place to go. The group workouts help me push myself harder than I would alone. PLUS if you often feel stressed or anxious even depressed this is the best remedy, nothing beats it. read more

I have been training with Jaiya (Your Next Victory) for 1 year. He has given me the tools to get in the best shape of my life. I'm 34 years old and in better shape than I was when I was 18 and playing high school football. His cross training techniques have also helped me greatly improve my running times in the 5k 10k and half marathon distances. I've improved my stamina, endurance, speed and strength. Not to mention that I am sleeping better, and more mentally focused on my other goals in life. If you need a change ion your life.....It starts here. Sorry for sounding like an info-mercial, but this is really how I feel about Your Next Victory. Chris G read more

The exercises and tips that Jaiya has taught me, allow me to stay in better shape during my extensive travels on the road. It has really helped me to build up my endurance and strength and it has been very beneficial for my other athletic pursuits. I have improved my skills a lot. I feel fit all all day after my work out and it is the greatest way to start my day. read more

YNV! This work out changed my body and opened up so many opportunities in my life! My husband is a big outdoor enthusiast, and for many years I only went on the moderate trips with him and wanting desperately to join him on some of the advanced getaway's. After spending only a few short months training with YNV my stamina and strength not only gave me the courage, but I charged it in the middle of winter! This was a goal of mine and Jaiya and YNV helped me get there. Ps. I joined The Roller Derby and that would have never happened! Thank you Jaiya for your amazing encouragement and constant support.
