“Back when I started working out with Your Next Victory Personal Training, I was at the lowest point in my life both mentally and physically. My whole life I had been active with sports and activities but in the years prior to my starting with YNV I ballooned up!

debbie
I was the heaviest I had ever been in my life. I wasn’t taking care of myself by exercising or eating right. A night out at the local club cocktailing it with my friends was much more appealing than lifting dumbbells. Not only physically was my life being impacted but mentally I found myself plummeting into a dark hole of depression. I reached the point where I knew I needed a life change.
I began working out with YNV in November, 2005. They designed an eating plan for me that is extremely easy to follow and I never felt hungry. Oh, don’t forget the water, it cures everything! Let me tell you it wasn’t easy by any means but mentally I was ready for the change. I was working out three times a week and my body was sore, like never before, but it felt great!
Around the three month mark is when I began to notice my body changing significantly. It was as if one day I woke up and my body had completely changed. My body was becoming more toned and I was losing inches all over my body. A new confidence had also come over me and showed. Mentally I was physically fit as well! I remember having two pairs of what I would call “skinny” jeans in my closet. You know the ones that you used to be able to wear and were saving for “some day”. Well that some day arrived about 6 months into my training. At the six month mark I had lost 40 pounds and dropped three sizes in clothing. I’m a new me and it shows both physically and mentally. Thanks YNV!

“Before I started this program I was stuck. Knowing I needed to exercise more again. I was in a relationship where I wasn’t being true to myself and frustrated mentally, personally, and physically. I was convincing myself I was happy. Working out with YNV has jumpstarted me. Everything in my life has fallen into place…incredibly my physical self feels the way I had hoped I would everyday. angie_kiel

The YNV coaches say it feels like a practice. Now at 38,I can appreciate “practice”. I feel amazing, happy and energetic everyday.
My favorite part of working with YNV is the group environment, personality, and energy. Expectation is not even a question. I leave the workout feeling better than when I arrived. If you’re a first time client, it takes about 3 weeks to see a noticeable change in your life.

You will know it’s different right away. Whether you come back to experience that feeling will be the question. I have experienced a better mental state, better eating habits, incredible circumstances, feel great, and the core of me feels stronger than ever at 38!”

“I saw a huge difference in my physical appearance in 3 months. My body had really made a huge change over that time.Long Beach Personal training
Mentally this program helped me deal with personal issues I was having and it helped me stay focused on myself.
Before I began this program, I was tired both mentally and physically. I wasn’t happy about letting myself go which therefore affected me in a mental and physical way.

I think most people experience a change right away. I noticed a change in a couple of weeks. The mental exercises have helped me to stay mentally strong as well as physically. They have also helped me to stay doing my workouts due to the fact that I have been going thorough many personal issues. I have really enjoyed this program. It has brought me back to working out as well as gave me motivation.

I want to go and workout because I am excited to see the changes week over week. This type of program never gets old or boring.

You always stay motivated.”

“As a whole training with YNV has transformed me into the best shape of my life both mentally and physically. Mentally I feel clear thinking, goal oriented and confident that I can take what ever my employees, customers and loved ones can put on my plate.Physically, I just feel better and better everyday.

Long Beach Personal Trainer

My favorite part is the constancy of change in the program. We do different things every time. I have been with the program since March of 2008 and have yet to do the same work out twice. My other favorite part is the customized motivation of the program. I would never ever do these things if Jaiya wasn’t in the background motivating me and giving me the confidence to keep pushing myself. As a new client, if you are not some pansy quitter, you will experience changes in 12-24 hours.

Long Beach Personal Training

When you wake up and all your muscles are sore as they have never been before you will notice the change taking place. The next work out you will be that much more ready for what life is going to toss your way and you will push through with confidence.

The following morning as you stand in your birthday suit in front of the mirror while brushing your teeth you will notice the beginning of the physical transformation taking place.

Mental and physical confidence will follow shortly in the next few months.

I have gained:

•Mental and physical confidence like never before.
•I am also a rock climber and the core strength and endurance exercises have made great changes to my climbing.
•I can run as long as I want now. I used to hate running.
•I gained 10 pounds of muscle.
•My shirt size is now a large where it used to be a med.
•I just can’t get enough!”

“You’ll never get yesterday back, so make it a better today. Start to change your body and mind from this moment.

laila-afterfront-1024x768
I was very depressed and tired all the time. My girlfriend recommended YNV for a Long Beach personal trainer and said not only did she lose a ton of weight but was always in better spirits. I gave him a try and completely trusted him. Before I knew it, my negative energy was gone and I had more energy than ever!

In the first three months I was given great structure from YNV to live a better life. I was taught how to set goals for myself and rid my body of acidity. I was given a great diet plan and learned how to take care of my mind and body.

After my mind got better, I started to see my body change. I started to lose inches and saw muscles in my body I never thought I had. I feel I got my mental change more through speaking to YNV Personal Trainers and hearing his positive reinforcement. I love the phone messages!!!

This program will change the most lazy, depressed, and unmotivated individual to someone happy and fulfilled with life. Your mind will change and your body will be rockin’ too!”

“This is not just a workout program. It is something that will help you to make life changes to get you where you want to be.
After 3 months of training I now think about my goals daily and it is amazing how on track I feel. Physically, I now feel like I look good. People ask me all the time if I have been working out and the amount of strength I have gained is unbelievable.
When I began this program, I was surrounded by a negative work environment and negative people.

Mentally, I was in a stagnant state. I was in a job that was not a career and was wasting the education I had earned. Physically, I felt like I looked good but felt very weak. By writing down my goals (not just physical) I made a major career move and completely changed paths back to what my goals had always been. It is unbelievable to see what the power of writing down your goals can do for you.

“It’s challenging, rewarding and fun. If you stick with this on a regular basis-you will be happy with what you get!

Copy of ana

I knew I needed to get back into a serious fitness program having been out for a few months. I was going through an unmotivated period and wanted something to help me get back on track to the goals I knew I could achieve.

I have seen improvements physically that I was hoping for and that I worked for. I definitely feel a sense of accomplishment looking back on the hard work I have put into training and have results as a reward. Mentally, I have started to change the way I think on a daily basis. I am grateful for what I have and I know that through setting my mind on what I want, I will receive those things.

Right away you start to feel better about yourself and even if others don’t notice, you can feel a difference. But I would say a good 6 weeks until you feel you are starting to achieve the initial goals you set.

I had begun to work on changing many aspects of my life by viewing potentially negative situations and circumstances as positive challenges and areas for improvement. The weekly exercises helped to remind me to stay on that track and know that I will begin to receive what I set my mind on.

Stick with it and do the best you can every time you are at the gym. If you do that, there is no way you wont be proud and happy for what you will achieve.”

“I startedYNV in Long Beach, Ca. on a lark…just happened upon the tail end of a trial offering…a few workouts and it was free, so why not?

darla_front

I thought I would do the program for a couple weeks then go back to starting my day at a more reasonable hour, like 9am or so, after all, I was already spinning twice a week and thought that was enough…wrong.Long Beach Personal TrainerI hadn’t noticed the changes to my body and hadn’t lost any weight, but about three weeks after starting the program I visited a group of friends I hadn’t seen in a few months and several commented on my fitness and asked if I had lost weight.

That was like throwing me a challenge. Now I’m committed.Since starting the program I found that I am becoming more productive because I start my day earlier, feel better, motivated and even my thought process is clearer.ynv-back-pix1YNV has great coaches and motivators, both physically and mentally.

Training sessions are never boring but they are effective. You really have to experience the workout. YNV really mixes it up. This is defiantly not your mother’s workout! I never thought I would look forward to a 6am workout but this one I do.

It’s great to be with a group of likeminded people for the best part of the day. I’m glad I took advantage of the opportunity.

“I had trained here and there in the years preceding but never made a commitment to myself as I have now. I have enjoyed sports such as skydiving, ground launching and sport bike racing. Being a part of these activities visually as a photographer and physically as a participant I immediately became fascinated by the human body navigating through space.

ynv-kelly-hudak

Pushing the nature of the human extension beyond boundaries and limits I came to a place where balance and focus play an important role in the exploration of absolute space. I knew I had to train on many different levels to achieve my goals.

YNV has given me the essential tools for my experience day to day. Three times a week I work on building skills that encompass my whole body. I enjoy working on various aspects that challenge me from all different angles.

Each day is different and provides the inspiration, clarity and awareness necessary for growth.
The exhilaration from the training sessions grew upon each visit. Though I do have to be honest in saying that my first session was grueling!

What I came to understand is that my body was going through a transformation taking on new information, releasing stored toxins and building from the ground up. As time went by I started to enjoy knowing that my core strength, balance and endurance were all growing.

The best part was that this was only a couple weeks in and I had so much more to look forward to! As a couple months went by I truly saw the results we had been working for and my athletic performance continues to grow as I develop muscle, coordination and see my body changing before my eyes.

YNV has given my body the confidence and preparation to excel physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally.
I move through life with purpose and strength inside and outside of my training sessions.
My goals are constantly evolving as new heights are reached and I embrace the challenges ahead. “

“When I have not been able to workout with YNV, I actually begin to have withdrawals. I miss it, being pushed to be great both physically and mentally and the way I feel when I’m finished, like I’ve added to my life and accomplished something for the day no matter what else might happen. I’m in a better mood and again, my whole demenor is better, not to mention the obvious physical perks with how my body looks.lyndseykyle

My favorite part of working with YNV personal training is the extra ab workout with all the laughter, the way my body looks, the way I feel mentally and proud of myself, the way I sleep better at night…the list goes on and on… It will easily take at least two months takes to experience a noticeable change.

If you are not used to working out or working out at a higher level, being that you are given more attention then you get when in the gym on your own, you will most likely experience some soreness, possibly get a little run down or sick, and experience your body telling your brain ‘don’t go back!’… lyndseykyle If you can get through that first month, consistently, that second month you begin to be positive and happier when you leave and by the third month, if you don’t go or get your YNV fix, you feel as if you’re missing something from your day.

Give yourself time to adapt because nothing happens overnight except more wrinkles…if you can get to that third month, cliche as it sounds, you will change your life for the better and long term!”

“By committing to this program you have taken the most important first step toward a really exciting time in your life. You will marvel at the changes physically that you will undergo. Mentally, it will open new ways of thinking about yourself for the better.

Don’t let excuses stand in your way. You’re never too old or too out of shape to start new. You can do it! I am a 48 year old mother of 2.
Married with a full time job. Exercise has always been a part of my life. I knew some changes were required for me to reach my goals.

I wanted more toned and defined muscles. Mentally I was frustrated-physically I felt stuck. I could not achieve my goals on my own.
I knew my food intake had a lot to do with it. Physically, I knew I was standing on the threshold to the next level. Through the help and encouragement of a very positive trainer-I was able to lose fat and build muscle. In the first 12 weeks I felt I had more energy-I was not starving by dinner because I had steadily maintained an even blood sugar level throughout the day.

I was eating much more food, but most importantly in the right combinations. At the end of 6 months, I was well on my way to achieving my goal. With a serious approach of commitment and dedication, you should see the beginning of positive results in 4 – 6 weeks. You must be willing to make the necessary alterations in your lifestyle that are mandatory for change.

There’s no looking back. You’re on your way to a much healthier and better looking you!

“You seriously have no more excuses to not be working out. If you always have a reason: lack of money, time, or energy, too out of shape, too old, injured, whatever…. this is the workout for you. It’s affordable and effective. I definitely had my excuses, all the while spending money on a gym membership, basically wasting my time and money. Seriously – quit your gym membership – you won’t need it after working out here, and use it towards YNV- you won’t regret it and it’s totally worth every penny!

It’s a kick-a** workout, that maximizes your time and energy so you’re getting cardio and weight training in one intense, compact 1 hour workout. Not a minute of your workout is wasted. All you have to do is show up and Jaiya directs you non-stop for an hour. It takes the thinking and planning out of working out so you can spend all your energy on getting the most out of your workout. Also, if you’ve hit a plateau or bored with your workout, then this is the workout for you. Jaiya keeps it interesting, challenging, fun, and adjusts the workout to your personal needs and abilities. Seriously, if you get injured, he will adjust the workout so you can still stay on your path towards your goals!

“When I first started working out with Jaiya at Your Next Victory last May, I had gotten busy and lazy and was really frustrated and down on myself for letting myself get to the place where I was no longer working out, eating right, and I had gained weight. long beach personal trainingI needed help to reach my goals and YNV definitely provided that. I have been going to 3 workouts per week (seriously only 3 hours a week!) since this past May and I am now back in my old clothes! I feel so good. I’ve seen results. The group format is an added bonus. I’ve definitely met some cool people through this too. You should definitely check it out!

YNV is the toughest workout in Long Beach. The workout themselves are not only amazing, but you are surrounded by incredibly inspiring people with lots of encouragement. I’ve been with the training over a year and it keeps getting better!

Jaiya Rocks!”

If you’re looking for an entertaining, effective, life changing work out – Your Next Victory (YNV) is the place! I’ve been going to 5 months now. The classes are never boring & it’s always something different. You leave the work out feeling great! YNV offers a variety of days/hours and inside/outside + you go as often as you like. This workout is fun & the people that attend and instruct are fantastic! Jaiya truly knows how to train and how to change your body and improve your way of life. I highly recommend this to everyone, no matter what your fitness level or age. Jaiya’s positive attitude is infectious! I’m addicted!

So much more than a workout for your body. long beach personal training

It’s a workout for the mind and the spirit as well. Jaiya helps to mold you into a warrior in your own life. The group support helped me to overcome personal obstacles to success that were impacting all areas of my life. The physical effects were certainly notable but the inner strength is something that continues to impact all parts of my life.
More like coaching than personal training. Three times a week I get to workout with a team of cool,… Read more »

“YNV! This work out changed my body and opened up so many opportunities in my life! long beach personal training

My husband is a big outdoor enthusiast, and for many years I only went on the moderate trips with him and wanting desperately to join him on some of the advanced getaway’s.

After spending only a few short months training with YNV my stamina and strength not only gave me the courage, but I charged it in the middle of winter! This was a goal of mine and Jaiya and YNV helped me get there.
Ps. I joined The Roller Derby and that would have never happened! Thank you Jaiya for your amazing encouragement and constant support. ”

Totally the most UNBORING workout. SO MUCH BETTER than the average training session. This is unique and will kick your a** into shape. cant wait till he forms his own 6 week bootcamp!!!

“Well where do I begin. The last time I saw Jaiya was almost 20 years ago when we were in high school together. I think there was a higher power that reunited us as friends again, because when I ran into him in Long Beach while driving, I was laid-off going on a year! Jaiya must have seen it in my eyes and he called me up and told me about YNV. artin

He said that I needed to get my body right again so my mind can follow.
Well, 6 months has passed and I’m still looking for work, but YNV has been a great experience for me. The work outs are extreme!!!! The attitude is great! and the trainers are at the top of their level. Classes are friendly yet intense! I recommend YNV to everyone I see. It really helped me get my body stronger and my mind straight. Going on 6 months now, I’ve lost 2 inches to my waste and feel twice as strong as before. Above all, there is nothing but positive stimulation at YNV. They really helped my body and mind. I’m still going today.
IF YOU WANT YOUR LIFE TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER, JOIN YNV!!! SEE YOU THERE!”

I AM CELEBRATING THE FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE BEST RELATIONSHIP EVER!!! ME!!!!

long beach personal trainer

Yes. I have been a year with YNV and it’s something I do for myself. I wake up for the morning workouts with a good attitude. “I wake up today for myself; not for work, not for someone else…. for ME!”

A year ago I decided to go out for a run by the beach when I saw a group of people working out and Jaiya (YNV) invited me to join… after the first exercise I felt nauseous and was about to faint. Jaiya helped and took time to explain why my body responded that way. I found it very interesting and decided to continue. At first I was working out to fit into a silk bridesmaid dress but then I stayed because after a couple of weeks I noticed an attitude change in me. I noticed my body felt so much better, my mind was clearer and I felt so happy all the time!

When I tell people that I work out with a trainer they think there goes half my paycheck. But they don’t know YNV, price is so reasonable! I couldn’t believe I was able to fit it in my little budget!!! Even on days that it seems so easy to cut it, I then remember that this is MY thing – I can’t let go and give up on myself. This is for ME!

“I have been training with Jaiya (Your Next Victory) for 1 year. He has given me the tools to get in the best shape of my life. I’m 34 years old and in better shape than I was when I was 18 and playing high school football. His cross training techniques have also helped me greatly improve my running times in the 5k 10k and half marathon distances. I’ve improved my stamina, endurance, speed and strength. Not to mention that I am sleeping better, and more mentally focused on my other goals in life.
If you need a change ion your life…..It starts here.
Sorry for sounding like an info-mercial, but this is really how I feel about Your Next Victory.”
