I've tried almost everything in order to get fit; yoga, zumba, kickboxing classes, running, gym personal trainers, etc...but they all fizzled out.
Working with Jose was the first time I got excited/passionate about my fitness. He is so much more than a "personal trainer". He has a wealth of knowledge at his disposal and is one tough fighter. He quickly learned my strengths and weaknesses, creating intense, fun and challenging exercises tailor made for me. His sessions are semi-private, which was perfect for me since I hate busy gyms. I felt there was open communication inside and out of the gym if I ever had questions or wanted to share my progress. I felt like I had a voice. Last but not least, he genuinely cares about his clients and their health/wellness.
It is incredibly hard to have the motivation to do things on your own, having someone there to push you and hold you accountable is one of the only ways to reach your goals. Jose never let me give up, truly believing in my potential.

Jose is the real deal. I have been with Jose for 7 months. I have lost over 100lbs. He has pushed me in ways I never expected. I had to have brain surgery while working with Jose and he was there to help me with PT. The PT from my doctors actually added some of the moves Jose had me do to her plan. To me that says he knows what he doing. Go see Jose and be prepared for a life changing event. ##NO EXUSES##.

I started training with Jose only 3 months ago, but I've already seen a huge difference in my strength, mobility, body fat percentage, and weight. I can feel myself getting stronger and fitter every week!
Jose customizes every workout to fit your personal needs, and is readily accessible all the time to answer questions, provide help and support relating to diet, nutrition, or post-workout soreness.
10/10 would recommend!

Starting to feel discomfort after three years with a sedentary, desk job, I decided that if I was going to feel discomfort, it made more sense for it to be a product of physical conditioning - improving myself - rather than the product of staring at a computer screen. Finding APE Shape Fitness, I appreciated that images of the gym did not show a workspace lined from wall-to-wall with cardio equipment and strength machines, but designed for personal improvement and achievement of goals led by the knowledge, skill, and competency of a well-qualified trainer/coach - an understatement of who Jose is.
Quality personal training is not typically considered low cost, but my time with Jose has been an incredible value. As other reviews mentioned, Jose takes the time to do a fairly thorough health and nutrition assessment. Presenting Jose with an atypical health and nutrition profile, he assembled initial nutrition and training plans specific to my history, my strengths, my deficiencies, and my needs. Since that initial assessment, he has continued to alter, adapt, and evolve these plans as necessary to ensure continual, forward progress. For example, soon after I started training, working on basic conditioning, I started experiencing some additional discomfort issues due to my long-term, sedentary lifestyle for which I needed medical care to correct. Jose took that information and adopted the training to mitigate the discomfort and help me correct and push past the issue.
Jose and his assistant, Sean, are both very observant during training sessions, providing quick, beneficial feedback during movements, scaling weights during a movement based on capability and fatigue, and using what they observe to plan out future sessions. As he mentions, Jose is going to plan each training session to push the client toward his or her goal, and he succeeds in a way that allows the client to realize progress even if he or she does not feel like they had their best performing day.
The real value, however, training with Jose is his willingness and interest in interaction outside of scheduled session times. He is interested to know about successes and struggles with physical conditioning and nutrition choices, encouraging clients to always improve. He shares new health and nutrition research and topics in which I might find interest. He is willing to answer questions about an exercise movement or circuits, home gym equipment, food and nutrition, metabolic processes - you name it.
There is nothing else for which I pay money that I can say is a better value than training at APE Shape Fitness under Jose. The quality of training, the quality of results, and the personal attention and relationship with his clients is absolutely unbeatable.
Thank you, Jose!

I came to Jose obese, never having worked out, minimally active, and embarrassed to even be there. Jose did not give me patronizing consolations, nor did he shame me for my current state. Instead, he said he could relate, and he gave a plan to make my goals a reality. He said it would be hard, and, honestly, it has sucked at times... But rather than my previous attempts at exercising where I quickly felt like a failure and quit, I now look forward to my workouts and feel empowered, even in the moments where I feel like collapsing in a sweaty mess on the mat. I enjoy my sessions with Jose, which are never the same. Jose does not give fluffy praises, but he is very attentive during the session. When I do receive a positive comment, I feel like a rock star because I have done something to earn it. Jose works with you to develop an eating and workout plan individualized to you and your goals. While he expects you to commit and follow the plan, he does not leave you on your own to flounder. In between sessions, I often receive texts to see how I am doing, offer any needed support, and even an occasional article for further education. My relationship with Jose feels more like a partnership where he is educating and empowering me, rather than keeping me dependent on him. He is always open to questions and encourages me to take advantage of his knowledge. I am still far from my goals, but I can see steady progress and for the first time in my life, I feel like my 'dream' goals are attainable. With Jose, you will work hard, you will sweat, you will have periods of soreness, and it won't be easy; however, he has a knack for pushing you hard, but not past your breaking point. I am so glad that I took advantage of a Groupon on a whim, and am now on my way to meeting my health goals. I cannot recommend Jose highly enough.
