History

Established in 2014.

Because there were no gyms or personal coaches in Chilanguera, El Salavador, Juan started training as a wee boy by making weights out of rocks and rope after studying hours and hours of Bruce Lee movies. He was known in the area as the Incredible Man. He loved when it rained because the slippery hills let him work on balance and flexibility. Since coming to the US he’s studied just about every form of martial arts known to man. Kenpo Karate, eight years of Japanese-​style Karate, Jiu Jitsu, Capoeira, Muay Thai, and Kung Fu. He has fought in kickboxing and boxing matches and has been boxing exclusively for the last six years at Polk Street Gym, as an amateur fighter, where coach Simon Redmond dubbed him The Animal.

Meet the Business Owner

Juan C.

Business Owner

Juan is a nice guy outside of the ring and an Animal inside. He holds a professional boxing license and a Boxing Coach’s license. He works out at least five days a week for hours at a time. And his doctor says he has muscles where no one has muscles. His style of teaching is much like his style of training: intense. «I believe every person can do whatever they want but they are their own enemy keeping them from doing what they want.» He loves to help people realize they can do anything – with hard work and pushing their bodies as much as possible. «Don’t let your mind tell you what to do, you tell your mind what you want to do.» If you can’t find Juan in the gym he’s probably out running the hills at Land’s End or doing 1,000 push-​ups in his living room. He’s available for personal training at Polk Street Gym or anywhere you feel comfortable.
