I worked with Jesse for over two years, increasing my training from 2 to 3 days a week because of the results I was seeing. With our boxing and weight training workouts, I built more lean muscle, lost inches and overall brought my weight down. Jesse is well versed in the health and fitness space, offering tips to keep clients motivated and on track to achieve their goals. I highly recommend working with him.

"I have been training with Jesse for approximately four years, and he is an incredible coach. He has taught me how to harness my own power and use it effectively for boxing, kicking and general fitness, with a strong focus on core, stability and endurance. As a result of working with Jesse on a weekly basis, I have gained significant strength and flexibility. Jesse's approach to training is holistic and he is steadfast about proper form for effectiveness and injury prevention. He has tailored a comprehensive program for me based on my individual fitness goals. Jesse pushes me just the right amount and through our regular sessions, I have been able to reach and maintain a high level of fitness. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to improve their fitness regimen."

Vanessa is a great personal trainer. She pushed me to do more than what I thought I could do and was always there to make sure I was performing the exercises properly.

Let's face it. Weight training is not easy at all. Vanessa makes this activity not only tolerable, but dare I say it, fun? She is an expert trainer. Her knowledge and care provide her with a laser-like ability to attune to my body, which is sometimes in pain and needs her nuanced skill to adjust. I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have found Vanessa.

I joined Lezama Fitness and had my first ever HIT workout by coach Vanessa. Being a mother of two and working full time in a dental office, it is hard to put my health first and get motivated. After joining the HIT class, Vanessa has given me the tools and confidence I need to get in shape. She pushes me and doesn’t let me quit. She makes me want to be better not only for myself, but to show my family a healthy life style. I’m so excited and grateful for this new journey with Vanessa as my coach.

Coach Vanessa brings out my inner strength I forgot I even had. I end up surprising myself in the process. Her sessions are intense and effective. You can tell by the way she coaches that her heart is in it. Her passion for training definitely shows in my results.

In April, I began working out with Jesse twice a week. I am amazed by the positive effects of these workouts! I am physically stronger, have more confidence, and have developed a better range of motion. Jesse has a vast amount of knowledge about the body and how it works. He has developed individualized routines that allow me to push myself while meeting my fitness goals. As a coach, Jesse is firm, encouraging, and kind. I highly recommended Jesse and Lezama Elite Fitness.

I was one of those people who paid for a gym membership and did not show up after 1 or 2 visits. I found the gym boring and monotonous. My preferred form of activity has been dance. After determining I needed more than dance as the aging process affected my balance and flexibility, I began working with Vanessa almost 2 years ago. Vanessa understood my goals and before long I looked forward to our sessions. Because of the depth of her knowledge, our sessions were diverse and progressive, never boring! Although challenging, I appreciated Vanessa’s support and encouragement which pushed me further than I thought was possible. With Vanessa’s guidance, I have learned how to exercise correctly and avoid injuries, and how to target and address issue areas from the past. Beyond her expertise, Vanessa is caring, flexible and fun.
