Jamel Ramiro Performance Movement

Jamel Ramiro is the gold standard when it comes to training. He’s not your average «rep counter» — he constantly keeps an eye on all his clients ensuring that form is intact while providing modifications for beginners and those with injuries but still keeping moves challenging for more advanced clients.
Though his classes are sweat drenched and heart pounding his humor makes a few appearances behind his intense bootcamp instructor façade. Make em apples, not apple sauce because if you don’t squeeze it nobody else will!

For the past two years Jamel has been training me at his own Performance Movement Bootcamp or via TRX. Jamel understands how the body is supposed to operate, the cross training needed to avoid injury and maximize results. My weaknesses always show in his class which proves that Jamel knows how to focus on the facets of my workout that need the most work. My favorite takeaway: sometimes it is liberating to execute my own workout outside of a class setting and because of Jamel — I always have new movements I can execute on my own after taking his class at Performance Movement. That education alone — is worth investing time with Jamel.

I’ve been taking Jamel’s bootcamp class for a few months now and I love everything about it! Workouts are challenging, fun and great for people at any fitness level. I started as a beginner and was surprised how much stronger I felt after only a few classes! There’s a good combination of strength training (TRX, weights, body weight exercises …) and cardio. Jamel is a great instructor — motivating, very knowledgeable and he always makes sure your form is correct throughout each movement. I never thought I would be capable of doing an intense workout at 7am, but now I can’t imagine working out at any other time — Jamel’s class is always the best way to start my day!

I train with Jamel at HitFit SF at least twice a week for TRX Circuit Training. Jamel is extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and well versed in TRX. I’ve had several trainers over the years and Jamel stands out as one of the best in the field. If you get a chance to be in his class, you won’t be disappointed.

So, I won’t lie, I have a Jamel bias as I trained with him a few different locations and think his workouts are the best, however, the boot camps at Performance Movement are NO exception. I consider myself to be relatively in shape, and yet, every time I leave his classes I’ve had my ass handed to me. That said you can go at your own pace and takes breaks as needed. His classes are a great mix of cardio and strength training. You will no doubt get an amazing sweat, learn some new moves, and leave feeling stronger. I am not much for committing to morning workouts but I will be adding the 6am or 7am Wednesday/​Friday classes to me routine (well, most weeks). Awesome workout with Jamel’s Performance Movement — HIGHLY recommended. Great way to switch it up and get in a great workout without all the frills.

I’ve been training with Jamel for over four years now. I joined Start Fitness, where he was teaching, to get in shape for my wedding that year, and loved training with Jamel so much that I’ve stuck with it ever since then. He helped me get into the best shape of my life! When Start closed, I continued with Jamel because he always has a challenging, varied and fun workout. He doesn’t want you getting up early for nothing! I highly recommend his classes… A++ trainer, one of the best in the city he has even been invited to competitions because he is one of the best!

Jamel is awesome. I’ve been doing his 6am W and F bootcamp on Bush St. for a few months and love it. I can feel myself getting stronger and the hour workout flies by. Workouts are always challenging and pretty varied so I don’t get bored. Also love that class is indoors in case the weather sucks.
Totally recommend to anyone who wants a kick ass workout to jump start the day!

I got introduced to Jamel through the TRX Training Center, where I have been working out for about a year. While I have great things to say about all the trainers there, I have to say that Jamel has been my favorite. He always pushes us hard, while taking care to check in about any injuries or questions we have.
Fast forward a year, and I’ve now signed up for his Bootcamp classes nearby. While admittedly, I’m still in my first month, I have to say that it’s been great so far. He mixes up the workouts each session, and pushes us both in terms of strength and cardio. The classes are smaller than the TRX center (nor now), so I definitely have enjoyed the added attention and support.
If you’re looking to have a great workout from an awesome trainer, don’t hesitate — try this out!

Jamel is a fantastic motivator. I’ve been taking his bootcamp classes for two and a half years. In that time I have gotten so much fitter and stronger. He runs an intense but fun workout that never gets easy and after which you will see serious results. He is passionate about high quality training, emphasizing correct form in everything from TRX to dreaded Turkish get-​ups to the proper push-​up. But most importantly he cares a ton about his students.

Jamel is the ultimate professional when it come to fitness training. I have had the pleasure of working out with him at the TRX training center for years. His attention to detail, form & individuals ability is the best. He checks in with everyone before the class and always asks about injuries. His class is fun, energetic and always pushes me to my limit. Never silly or annoying. Added plus is his great taste in music !!

If you’re looking for a trainer to completely change your life, Jamel is your man. He offers a full body, intense workout and will challenge you beyond your expectations. He’s professional and courteous and is passionate about being the best. I speak from personal experience when I say I’m stronger and fitter because of him. If I can do it at 40 with a 6 year old, you can too!

I took a class from Jamel at TRX. He is a standard of what I would look for a group class setting: Clear verbal cueing, excellent demos, and most importantly, FUN!!! Stop reading this and take his class. Now.
