J Bodyworks

Tif is highly qualified to be your movement coach! As a chiropractor, I have very high standards for trainers and give Tif the seal of approval. She listened to my needs, asked great questions to help us get on the same page with my goals and executed our session with attention to detail and expertise. Consider her if you are nervous about exercising after an injury or are a novice.

This place is amazing. I’ve never enjoyed working out more than when I come here for group training with Nan. The class is different every week; sometimes kettlebells, sometimes sandbags, sometimes TRX, sometimes just bodyweight exercises. All the trainers are super nice and really care about their clients.
The real star of the gym though, is Jorge, the insanely adorable French Bulldog that runs around in here and occasionally wears silly costumes. Nothing concludes a workout session better than playing with a cute dog!

Corey is a passionate and helpful coach. He helped get me to the next weight up in double jerk, and improved my snatch form. Highly recommended!

Corey Padnos is a bomb trainer. He’s supportive, encouraging, smart and driven. And he’s put me thru some of the most grueling workouts of my life! If you want a wimpy trainer that will listen to your BS, he’s not the guy for you. If you want someone who will push you hard to help you reach your goals, educate you along the way and encourage you to go the extra mile for real results, Corey’s your man.

Corey at JBodyWorks was my last resort. After more than a year trying every type of body work and therapy I was aware of, and a couple I had never heard of before, my Achilles pain was just getting worse. Then I found Corey. Within the first few minutes of working with him, I knew this process would be different and though I didn’t understand it fully, I felt real hope. That hope has been realized into actual results. I have movement in parts of my ankle and foot that had been stuck for years, decades likely. And other parts of my body injured over 20 years ago, after just minutes of gentle work, are moving like they haven’t in a long time. Corey listens to what you say, and what you don’t say; watches your body move and identifies connections you would have never dreamed of; makes you move and do exercises seemingly unconnected that have immediate positive results; helps you heal your injury while moving and getting stronger; and does all of that with supreme kindness, gentleness and presence. Not only is there light at the end of the tunnel for me now, it actually feels within grasp. I could not recommend Corey and the work he does more strongly.

I have been working with Corey and Jae to get my shoulder back in working condition. I suffered from an overuse injury and have been dealing with A frustrating situation and an inability to move through my normal range of motion.
Both Corey and Jae are masters at what they do. They quickly identified exactly what the problem was, and helped me identify simple exercises, movement patterns and vision exercises to help retrain my muscles but more importantly retrain my brain into developing better movement patterns that could minimize injury in the future.
The reason why I will continue to go back here is simple: nobody does what these guys do. These guys are Z Health practitioners, which means that what they teach is only taught by a select few individuals who truly understand the mind body and spirit connection. They have taught me how to move in ways that minimize pain and maximize performance.
In some ways, working with these guys is humbling because they retrain you on simple movement patterns that you think you should have already mastered from a young age. But what makes them so amazing is that they can identify the biomechanics of your movement patterns that most physical therapists would never see.
The result? Greater range of motion, improved confidence, knowledge about the way your nervous system interacts with your skeletal system, and a greater sense of well-​being.
Don’t even think twice about seeing these guys. Just go. Show up, have an open mind, and be prepared for AMAZING results.

I injured my shoulder from a handstand class. I couldn’t raise my left arm. I also couldn’t do any handstand, which I was pretty bummed about. I don’t know how Corey did it. He helped to get my shoulder back to how it was before in just four sessions. It’s strange to me because I didn’t even have to break a sweat. I really enjoy working with Corey. He is professional, nice, and very good at what he does. I’m very active. I hope I don’t injury myself again. If I do, I know Corey can put me back together. Lol

I have been working with Z-​Health coach Nan Luma for over three months and this has changed my life and body. I have a more serious form of Arthritis and partially
Fused spine which was causing me pain and limited mobility. I could list so much it has done for me! The biggest improvements are I can move and workout with out pain, I have been taught drills to use in my everyday life to move pain free, I have better posture, better balance, sleep better, happier, loosing weight and I am more mobile and active. Bonus there is an amazing team of three who work together, so I have access to a team. I have also had a manual adjustment using Hendrickson method with Jay which resolved some tension in my hamstrings. fantastic go to team! I know what and it means when they say Every Body Works! I believe! 10 STARS! Everybody needs this pit crew!!!

I recently started working with Corey Padnos, one of the personal trainers who specializes in Z-​Health in their Soma location at OmPower.
They had a special for small group training & I needed someone to help me because Ive accumulated so many injuries from work, overuse, age, etc. (tennis elbow, neck stiffness from neck surgery, torn wrist TFCC, low back issues, left arch plantar fasciitis, weak ankles from multiple sprains and more!) We have a few more spots in my group that meets at 630am Mondays & Fridays if you’d like to join.
It has easily been one of the best decisions Ive made all year!
The stretches he teaches me not only help release, but some have eliminated my pain. Ive done tons of PT before but this is totally different. Sports med doctors call it Neuro Gliding or Flossing I think but I dont know why they dont use it more. His coaching allows me to get better workouts and he helps me modify to keep me safe, but still get in a great workout!
6 pak challenge friends, watchout :)
Also Corey introduced me to all the other awesome classes they have at OmPower. TRX, Spin, Meditation, Restorative Yoga with hot stones! I cant wait to take them all!

I was pretty skeptical when my pilates teacher suggested that I try a session with Jae when my hip was in so much pain, I had trouble walking. I had been going to an osteopath, chiropractor, and acupuncturist for over a year, to help the situation, but I didn’t experience any big changes. I was desperate to walk normally again, so I gave Jae a try.
He is wonderful! He uses a method called Hendrickson method, very different from a regular massage. If you are searching for candles and aromatic body oil, this is not the therapy for you, but if you are looking for results, Jae is the way to go! He’s personable and so great at what he does.
I see him once a week, for an hour long session, and after the first session, I felt less tight, after the third session, I could feel a huge difference in my hip. It’s been a few months and my body isn’t completely healed but I can walk again, without feeling pain in my hip. Jae has also helped me to put my mind at ease, and letting me know that I am on my way to healing, not getting worse. I wished I had gone to him sooner, he changed my way of being bc I can move so much better now!
He used to work out of a pilates studio, but now has his own office, at 350 Townsend, ste 316. It’s nice to have privacy and quiet.

I’ve been in chronic pain for 15+ years as a result of vertebrae fracture. I could go down the list of things I’ve tried to deal with the pain but I don’t feel like typing that much. Bottom line is that they all provide a certain level of relief, but nothing that has lasted.
I’ve had four visits with Jae and have noticed quick and lasting improvement. He uses the Hendrickson Method which is fantastic for orthopedic injuries. I went in with pretty severe pain along my spine radiating from my original injury. In the past four weeks, the pain has melted away. Jae is excellent at identifying parts of my body that need more work and explains what is going on. His communication during the session helps me understand what parts of my body I need to be more mindful of.
Jae creates a pleasant, comfortable experience. If you’re lucky his sidekick (french bulldog), Pepe will be there to add some puppy cuteness to your session.

I received a bodywork session with Jae yesterday and WOW, I feel AH-​mazing! He assessed my issues (left shoulder tightness and hip imbalance) with quick efficiency and after an hour of work my body literally felt 10 pounds lighter. No joke! I walked out feeling aligned, energetic and FREE. Like that huge weighted down backpack had finally been thrown off my shoulders and I could stand tall again.
I highly recommend his work and can’t wait for my next treatment!

I’ve trained with Jae in stints over the last few years and have never hesitated to tell people that he alone helped me change my life.
The first time, my goals were physical: lose weight and tighten the booty. I surpassed those goals and went even further (quit smoking and binge drinking, started eating meals, etc etc)
Jae’s philosophy goes beyond the superficial, and working with him helped me make important life changes too, including quitting toxic jobs and boyfriends.
Almost 3 years later, all that has stuck and I’ve seen the ripple effect of training to make me a stronger person overall. Since eliminating so much unhealthy behavior, I’m going back to Jae to start building more awesome on top of the foundation we’ve built. Looking forward to seeing all the new life stuff that will undoubtedly manifest as a result of working with Jae…

Jae was my personal trainer as I was in the process of making some dramatic, fundamental changes in my life physically and in other ways. He was very attentive to what I was trying to do and he customized to exactly what I needed. I feel that he truly helped me holistically reset my body to do what I wanted to do. My 2 hour commute to see him was worth every minute!

Jae is a master at what he does.
I have been working with Jae for the last couple years, and each time I have a session with him it amazes me how multi faceted he is. He works energetically, and always gets into my super tight areas in ways I have never experienced with other bodyworkers. He has a knack for sensing what part of the body really does need attention, that may be causing pain in different part of the body.
My husband does a combination of strength training and orthopedic massage with Jae, and he always comes away from his sessions feeling at the same time worked out and super post massage relaxed.
He also is easy to schedule with and his rates are reasonable.
In addition to being a great bodyworker and trainer, Jae is an interesting and wonderful person who is always expanding himself and growing. He is pleasant yet direct, and always makes me feel taken care of.

I’ve known Jae for quite a few years now and have worked out with him ever since his days at Crunch. He is still just as great of a trainer now as he was a few years ago. Now with his own business he is able to bring in other elements of healthy living into his practice.
Jae’s bodywork uses the Hendrickson Method, which is a type of orthopedic massage. This type of bodywork has tremendously helped my recovery from an autoimmune disease where a lot of my nerves were damaged. His healing touch has helped the various neuro-​muscular issues and pain I was experiencing.
As for working out with Jae, he makes going to the gym (which can be very hard to do) such a fun, worthy experience. He keeps you motivated and listens to your goals to make his time with you as personalized as possible.
Jae has a wonderful sense of self and uses that to teach to his other clients how to live your life to the fiullest. I wouldn’t trade Jae for any other trainer! He is absolutely wonderful!

Do you ever have pain? Do you ever do too much, lift too much, run too much, etc. and feel like you need someone to put your sorry bones and muscles back into their rightful spots?
Do you love cute little French bulldogs who give smelly kisses?
If the answer to any or all of the above questions is ‘yes’ then J Bodyworks is for you.
Jae is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable personal trainer and does bodywork too! What is that you ask?
He figures out how your body moves, what movements are inefficient or out of balance and works on realigning, stretching, massaging, and gently manipulating the body to alleviate the imbalances. It felt like a mix of active release technique and massage and stretching… At least that is what he did for me. His friendly and fun personality is just the icing on the cake!
And what about the cute French bulldog you ask?
Pepe is a well trained dog and an absolute love bug who patiently waits for Jae as he works, keeps a watchful eye on the whole situation and sometimes even falls asleep and snores a little. If you ask for kisses, you might get a little French kiss.
Jae and Pepe are a great pair… Jae fixes your body, Pepe fills your heart with love.
