Hotte Bodies Personal Trainer & Wellness

I’ve been working with Jay as my personal trainer since Jan of 2016 and in less than 5 months, my physique has been transformed. As a mature (for lack of a better term) woman, my goal was to get back on track after having been derailed by an extended period of personal and physical difficulties. My plan was to take one month of private sessions and then return to my old gym and my previous routine. Instead, Jay has found a loyal client and I have found myself in the best physical condition I’ve been in since my twenties.
Jay is knowledgable, intuitive, and determined to see his clients reach their goals. He methodically prepared me for each new step, not allowing me to move further until I was ready. We discussed nutrition and worked out my diet. Fortunately for me, Jay was relentless.
Today I am strong and flexible, and my posture has improved significantly. I have met my initial fitness goal — give or take a few tweaks. Although I arrived with years of training and book knowledge, I had never managed to put it all together until now. And, I have not experienced any of the elbow or joint issues I’d experienced in my past training.
In addition, I attend Jay’s amazing but gruelling group classes where technique and good form is practiced and drilled.

Such a great place. will get you in amazing shape in no time. Jay is supportive yet pushes you to work your body efficiently and with proper form. He really knows what’s he’s doing and you’ll get a lean but defined figure from his workouts. The place is clean, boutique yet has enough space. It’s like having a personal trainer! Have been going here for less than 2 months and lost 6 pounds already

Jay Jacobo transformed my body, mind and spirit. When I started training with Jay I weighed over 210 pounds and my body fat was 33%. In less than a year I dropped down to 178 pounds and reduced my body fat to 17%. Jay’s philosophy is focused on training smart, not hard. Jay helped me to create a brand new exercise and nutrition lifestyle that I truly love and it’s a lifestyle that I can realistically maintain for the rest of my life. Jay is not about overnight weight loss. He’s all about long lasting, life changing health and fitness.

Jay is an amazing trainer, motivating, understanding and knowledgable!

I had a free consultation and personal training session with Jay– he is really nice! Great session =D The facility is really nice too!

Jay is a master. He is a full service trainer, attentive, motivational, and flexible especially for folks like myself who’s schedule varies from day to day and week to week. His dietary recommendations are creative but simple. If your looking for a new trainer and want a guru and not just another physical trainer I highly recommend Jay and Hotte Bodies.

I went to my consult today and I love it. I signed up and I can’t wait to began. I adore everything about this place. Jay is amazing and attentive. I’m looking forward to my new journey! :)

I’ve been working with Jay for 7years now. During the recession, he was the only one that survived the string of closures of other trainers on Ventura Blvd. That ought to tell you a lot about not only his popularity, but his professionalism and dedication to helping YOU achieve your goal. And that’s just it. Whatever you goal is, which is mine was losing weight under a time constraint, he helps you hit it and he’s never failed me. He’s there for every rep you do, every pound you loose, full of motivation and inspiration every step of the way. He’s the kind of guy you work with for years because you know he cares. Thanks Jay!

I have been taking a Body Works Plus Abs class with Jay for about 3 years at my gym. He provides these classes as a service to the community and I am so lucky he does! This is an extremely popular and well attended class for good reason. It is very challenging, rapid paced and fun. Jay is an excellent instructor. His instructions are clear, and he pays special attention to correct positioning, the choice of correct weights, and body movements that will enhance fitness and prevent injury. My work in his class has really paid off. I have noticed that my body is well-​toned and flexible. I have been astonished (and pleased) to be getting frequent compliments about how fit I look. Working with Jay is part of the reason! I plan to check out his studio!

I have been taking class with Javier at LA Fitness for the past 4 years. His class is the only reason I still have a membership at that gym! Just recently while I was in class, I thought to myself, «Wow, I wonder if Javier does private training?» No sooner than that, he made an announcement about his private gym! Lucky me! His gym is spotless, convenient, sunny, tons of equipment; free weights and several pilates machines. Now on to the personalized training, Javier always stresses, form and breath; his attention to the physiology and technique assures me that I will not get injured. I also feel that if I follow his technique and guidelines I will grow stronger and achieve my fitness goals… short and long term. I highly recommend you check out his private training studio.
