MEET THE
TRAINER
FRANK RUIZ
My name is Frank and I got into boxing in 2012 in order to lose some weight. I fell in love with the sport after only one class and now I get to instruct a class and pass on the skills that I have learned. I use a series of boxing mitt drills to teach a client self defense, gain some confidence in one's self and get a great work out.

"Jake has improved my skill set in many different areas. Being a professional athlete I need to have great hands, great footwork and even better endurance. Jake has increased all of those areas. If you are looking for someone who is all in on training, he is your guy. "
Chad Mertens
Professional Mixed Martial Artist
"I first started training with Jake Wilson in 2012 a little ways into my Amateur MMA career Jake noticed my boxing could use some serious work, so that's what we did. Jakes attention to detail and workouts took me from a below average striker to later competing in 2 boxing matches, the first I won by TKO early in the second round. The 2nd match I went to a sudden death OT and lost a split decision to a now top tier bantaweight in the UFC. As I ventured into my professional career, I traveled to multiple high level gyms across the US, 20 MMA fights later and the onne thing that everyone seemed to say stood out was my hand speed and boxig abilities which all traslate back to the beginning where coach Jake embedded the proper fundamentals to build off of, thanks coach Jake!"
CJ Copeland
8 yr old Client
"My son has been training with Jake since he was 4 years old. He's now a star on a nationally ranked football team at 8 years old. Jake told me on the first day of training he would have my son performing at an elite level and he delivered on that promise!!! He's a great trainer but a better person. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!"
Lana Le
University of Arizona Student
"Jake has been my first personal trainer, ever, and I couldn't imagine myself working with anyone else. He truly cares about your goals and works with you to achieve them. Everyone always raves about how skillful I've become with boxing and it's all because of Jake's persistence, experience, and motivation. My fitness achievements have surpassed what my goals were from the start."
Kara T
University of Arizona Student
"I've known and worked with Frank for a number of year now doing everything from conditioning, weightlifting, boxing and kickboxing. his knowledge and expertise are fantastic, and even better are his patience, understanding, and commitment to delivering satisfactory results to his clientele. I'll continue to work with Frank for as a long as possible."
Patty Morales Guzman
Boxing Client
"I do not have enough space here to commend Jake and Frank as my trainers for the last 6 years. They are dedicated to their clients' needs, they are patient, knowledgeable, motivating, kind. Their training skills have driven me to strive to be in the best physical and mental shape I can be! You've GOT to do it!"
Max Gardner
Boxing Instructor
San Diego, CA
"Coach Jake is long overdue for his limelight as a premier and world class boxing coach. His knowledge and experience in the ring is a testament to itself, but his dedication to seeing his clients succeed in much more than boxing or athletics is what sets him apart. I could not recommend coach Jake enough to anyone of any level of experience."
