From the reviews
I recently moved to Durham, NC and amidst the hustle of settling in a new city, I found Jae's Personal Training/Boxing Training through a late-night online search. Being overweight and yearning for a lifestyle change, I decided to enroll. This decision, it turns out, was one of the best I've made in a long time.
I began working with Jae and Forrest in Nov 2021. Jae helped get me on the right track with nutrition and meal prepping. Forrest has been my trainer for 2-3 sessions weekly focusing on strength training, muay thai technique, and cardio in order to help me with my overall goals of weight loss and general health.
I started working out with Jae in 2019 while pregnant. I was looking for an effective workout that was safe and would challenge me throughout my pregnancy. He delivered! His nutritional guidance and workouts kept me feeling great during my pregnancy.
Have been working out with Jae for over a year. I really enjoy my workouts with him and he knows what areas I need to target. He always has something up his sleeve new for me. He is very professional, appropriate and I feel extremely safe working out alone with him. Don’t walk, run to work out with Jae.
New to kickboxing? Start at Jae’s Boxing Personal Traning
Jae’s Boxing Personal Traning comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Jae’s Boxing Personal Traning
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
