Coach Jay built out a beautiful gym for all fitness and kickboxing needs. It’s kept immaculate, has awesome equipment, and coach Jay himself is great motivator and it shows through the commitment of his team and clients.

We didn't say it... they did. Backed by the people, these are real words and real results.
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!

Jay’s Training Ground is the real deal for anyone serious about Muay Thai or just looking to level up their training. Jay is a fantastic coach—knowledgeable, patient, and able to push you while still making training accessible for all levels. His attention to detail and passion for the sport set this place apart.

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.

Taking this chance and training with Coach Jason Joseph in the community he creates at Jay’s Training Grounds is the best gift I have ever given my self. Physically, mentally, I am growing over the months and I see it show up in my life in and out of the gym. Confidence, consistency, focus, centeredness are just some of the mind set benefits being nurtured here at JTG’s that I practice throughout the day. I started at ground zero with no experience and that was the perfect place to start here. There are practitioners at all levels here but everyone here wants to get better. From Muay Thai to boxing to strength and conditioning, Coach Jay is paying attention to the details that you may not notice. Give it a try and let the experience speak for itself - is my suggestion.
