My Muay Thai journey started back in 2014, and from 2014–2018 I was fully committed to training until life hit me with school, work, and relationships that forced me to step away. During that time, I gained a lot of weight and felt like I lost a big part of myself. When I tried to come back, I found that the gym where I originally started had closed due to rising rent costs. I checked out a few gyms in Oakland, but none of them had that same community vibe where people truly enjoyed Muay Thai for the art and what it represents, I didn’t feel welcomed Honestly, I felt lost and thought I’d never find that feeling again. I even considered driving far just to train because I missed Muay Thai so much. That all changed when I came across Coach Jay’s bio and saw that he had trained under the same coaches I had when I first started. I looked at the photos, saw the location, and instantly felt the same vibe I’d been searching for. From day one, Coach Jay was welcoming, helped me get my technique back, and I immediately felt the support from the entire team. Since rejoining, I’ve gone from 260lbs to 210lbs, building muscle along the way thanks to the strength and conditioning classes (something I never had access to before). On top of that, I’ve been training in boxing, improving and learning a lot, while of course continuing with Muay Thai. I’ve even competed in a PKB and plan to keep competing in the near future. For me, Muay Thai and boxing here have not only helped me get in shape but also pushed me to grow mentally, physically, and spiritually. The training is tough but motivating, and the team always makes you feel supported like family. Everyone trains hard, but there’s also real camaraderie and respect. This gym has given me opportunities to challenge myself in ways I never imagined, from sharpening my technique to stepping into the ring. It’s more than just a gym, it’s a community that keeps you accountable and pushes you to become the best version of yourself. I’m incredibly grateful to Coach Jay and the gym for helping me return to what I love and for improving my health. If you’re serious about training or even just curious to try something new, I can’t recommend Jay’s Training Grounds enough. - Manny
Joining Jay's is among the best decisions I've made in my life. Coach Jay is not only an amazing trainer and teacher, but also a wonderful, positive presence. This sets the tone for everyone present, and all who attend are friendly and great to work out with. I have learned so much about how to care for my body in the year I've been here thanks to Jay, and I go to and from the gym with a smile on my face. If you're curious, give it a class or two and see why we all love this gym and Jay so much!

There is no trainer like Coach Jay! I’ve never felt stronger or more capable. He takes pride in every single student and has built a unique community. I was really nervous to try Muay Thai and he, along with all of the members have been so helpful and welcoming. I’ve accomplished fitness goals I didn’t think were possible. Truly, there is no other gym like Jay’s. Thanks for everything Coach Jay!
