Meet JC – Your Dedicated Personal Trainer & Coach
With 15 years of experience, JC has devoted his life to helping others become the best version of themselves, both physically and mentally. His journey began with a personal mission: as a young man, JC was often bullied for being skinny and weak. Determined to transform himself, he turned to weight training after high school with the goal of gaining size, strength, and confidence.
What started as a personal challenge soon became a passion. JC fell in love with the process of strength training and eventually went on to compete in CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting, and powerlifting. His dedication to self-improvement led him to open Fuerza Gym, where he now empowers others to achieve their own fitness goals.
Whether you're looking for in-person, 1-on-1 training or remote coaching, JC offers flexible programs tailored to your needs. He's always ready to take on new clients who share his passion for growth, strength, and self-improvement.
