I have been training with Jay for about 30 years. Jay is a multi-dimensional, multi-disciplined, unique personal trainer. His experience in the martial arts as well as the fitness field is unparalleled. This unique constellation of attributes makes him a 'one size fits all trainer'.. You want to lose weight, gain strength or increase your endurance or flexibility? Jay is for you. Maybe you want to learn how to defend yourself or even fight in the UFC, Jay is the coach you need. Or maybe you have a sports team that needs an edge? Call Jay. Also, if you are having problems with your knee or shoulder or any other part of your body, rest assured Jay has the physical therapy knowledge to guide you to self heal, or he will help you select the best professional to help you. Believe me, you train with Jay, you get access to his network of friends that include physicians, physical therapists and acupuncturists! I'm proud to endorse him and give him this review.

I have competed at the highest levels of sports competition, and have trained with many fitness professionals. I can say without a doubt that Jay is hands down the best trainer I have ever worked with. Whether in self defense or in fitness training, he is certified to the highest degrees, and is able to adapt his workouts to any age or fitness level. I have done kettlebell classes, flexibility training, plyometric work, kickboxing, and self defense with Jay. His expertise is second to none, and his classes are an amazing combination of flexibility, strength and cardio training - unlike anything else I've done. Rest assured that students are training with the best of the best when training with Jay. I come out of his classes feeling energized, empowered, confident, and happy.
Jay breaks down the movements in his classes so that students can learn proper technique and get maximum benefit. He is very attentive, thorough, demonstrates the moves, and provides feedback and encouragement.
In every class I've taken with Jay, I've always felt challenged, which is not easy to find in a trainer. He has a very natural way of pushing students beyond their comfort levels to reach new levels of strength and fitness. This is especially hard to do when the fitness levels in the class vary, so it's a testament to Jay's ability to help everyone improve and be challenged. I have also experienced his training in a one on one environment and his affect is the same - he pushes you to focus, dig deep, and improve yourself every time.
I had a bad back for years. After consistently working out in Jay's classes, I have built core strength and increased my flexibility to the point that my back issues are nonexistent.
In terms of his self defense program: I am a young female who often travels alone in and around NYC, and to other cities. I have grown more confident since taking self defense lessons with Jay, because I now know how to defend myself. I had never taken anything close to self defense lessons before, and am now hooked! I've learned so much from him, and look forward to my lessons every week. The fitness benefits of his hands-on self defense training are enormous. I have more power, better endurance, greater flexibility, and more core strength. You would be hard pressed to find someone with more expertise in self defense training than Jay.
Jay has a heart of gold and genuinely cares about the people he trains. Over the years he has accumulated dozens of loyal trainees who follow him all over NJ just to take his classes - I am proud to be one of them! Hire Jay for your self defense and / or fitness training needs, you won't be disappointed!
