Joey Jaimez, Trainer

Joey is simply amazing! I’ve had the pleasure of working out with Joey on many occasions: both at Valencia Muscle and Fitness and in my home. She is quite adept at creating workouts appropriate for one’s fitness goals and yet remain challenging. Every workout is going to be different, which keeps things interesting yet challenging. She works with kettle bells, resistance bands, medicine balls and free weights. You will see pretty fast results.
As a trainer, Joey is actively involved in improving her craft. She’s a proficient boxer and a student of Krav Magra. She’s will push you to stay focused and in remain in form in order to get the most out of her session. Lastly, she is very generous with her time.

I have had weight issues all my life. I never went to a gym, so this was a big change for me. I cannot tell you enough how comfortable I felt with Joey instantly. She is very calm and knowledgable in her training. I started out at 220lbs. and have maintained my weight at 175lbs. for the past 1 ½ years. I can’t seem to work out without her. I always look forward to going in the gym now. I highly recommend her and have started to get my friend to be trained by her as well.

For most of my life, I got away with good genes and never really worked out. However, at age 40, it was time for a serious tune-​up, and I worked with Joey for three months while visiting San Francisco.
I really liked Joey’s training style a lot. She works on creating functional strength and balance. I was amazed with her ability to immediately correct subtle issues with my form that might have resulted in a strain or injury. Also, her workouts are varied and fun, and she has a fantastic personality. She teaches you a lot of things you can do with minimal equipment, which is great for someone like me who travels frequently.
After 22 sessions … my heart rate is down, my endurance is up, and I’ve dropped a few pounds while toning up. I really feel like she’s added some years to my life, or at least quality years where I can be strong and healthy as I get older.
Could I have gotten the same result on my own? Perhaps, but it would have taken a lot longer. This was well worth the time and money, and it’s better spent on a trainer than plastic surgeon …
Thank you, Joey!!! You were awesome!!!

I have really benefited from working with Joey. I love the active workouts– I am always challenged, and I have fun. My body is stronger and I have more muscle tone.
Joey integrates kettlebells, weights, bodyweight exercises, core strength exercises, kicking and punching. I sweat a lot during the workouts. I’m often sore and I have seen amazing results. I just love how I feel!
Joey has a fun personality. Not a drill-​instructor type, but she pushes just enough that I am challenged with each session.

I’m so delighted to have Joey working with us at Valencia Street Muscle! When I had the opportunity to invite a professional personal trainer into our business Joey was my absolute first choice and I’m very enthused that she accepted. Her uncanny interdisciplinary mix of fighting, strength training, science, nutrition and empathy denote her superiority as a fitness trainer. She has certifications from both the highly esteemed National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA) and National Personal Training Institute (NPTI).
But don’t just take my word for it…

Joey is an amazing personal fitness trainer! Great in all aspects; she has some of the best certificates in the fitness industry and she’s a well-​rounded fitness professional and athlete. Joey is able to employ advanced techniques to help one become a serious lifter or train to complement specific sports. Her background in competitive boxing and martial arts is a huge plus.
Training with Joey, you can expect to do anything from kettlebells to speed and ballistics, core and balance or tri-​setted timed drills!
Lastly, besides her vast knowledge she’s also an amazing person who genuinely cares about her clients’ goals and always conveys utmost professionalism.
