"Jab Fitness has been a great improvement in my life since I started training. I have noticed an overall improvement in my energy level and enthusiasm for a regular workout routine. Most of all it's flexible with my ever changing work schedule. It's not like a set class with a certain starting time. I can go in whenever I want and Joe works with me. It's like having your own personal trainer for $45.00 a month! Thank you, Joe."

"All my life I have worked out the way most people have by running on the treadmill and lifting weights. I never knew what a real work out was until I came to JAB. 3 minutes doesn't sound like a long time but you don't realize how long it is until you do 3 minutes on the heavy bag or the speed bag. This is the toughest and the best work out I have ever done in my life and the results do show now that I am in the best shape of my life. Joe Cassano gives great instructions and makes the gym a place you want to come to. After a stressful day this is the place you want to come to and get out some of that aggression. I've been a member for over a year but I will be a member for life."

"I played football in high school and college. I wish I had a Jab Fitness routine while I was training. Last year, before starting Jab, I was overweight and struggling to stay awake when driving. Jab changed all of that. I am in the best shape of my life and cured of sleeping problems. This is the best training I have ever had and it has saved my life."

"Joe's encouraging, warm and supportive'It's like having a personal trainer without the cost. It has really toned my arms and is the main reason my husband has lost 30 lbs. in the first six months. He loves it. It's a sport that's appealing to any age group or fitness level - an outlet for women who usually don't participate in contact sports - INVIGORATING!!"

"Although our son, Louis, always enjoyed a pick-up game of football or baseball in the neighborhood, organized sports were something that did not appeal to him. We were looking for an activity to not only fulfill his need to keep fit, but to build his self-confidence'we found it at JAB!!!! The one-on-one instruction from Joe has motivated him to work hard and excel! Thank you, Joe, The Dazzos."

"Nothing describes a work out better than what I and the other members of JAB Fitness do. The jump rope, speed bag, heavy bag combination is the hardest work out I have ever done. When I joined JAB I was looking for a way to physically challenge myself-something other than a typical boring gym work out. What I get at JAB is unconventional, extremely challenging and best of all fun. I do not dread going to JAB like I did other gyms. Not only are the people friendly and the atmosphere fun but everyone has their own personal trainer in owner Joe Cassano. Joe is personally committed to seeing each and every member reach their goals. When I first joined JAB, Joe spent a great deal of time teaching me proper technique and providing tips on how to get the most out of my work out. Several months later, he is still challenging me and providing guidance that I could definitely not get anywhere else. I have not yet met my goals, but I'm positive that I will and I would not even think of doing it anywhere other than at JAB."
Brooke Damery, 23 yrs. Old

"I joined Jab Fitness looking for a new way to keep in shape as distance running was too tough on my knees and the fitness center machine circuit was monotonous. I was surprised at what a great workout you can get in 30-45 minutes. Between jumping rope, the heavy bag, speed bag and the Jab-Ab routine, you cover it all: cardio, strength, balance, ability, hand eye coordination and improving your core muscles and breathing. Joe has been very helpful not only with technique advice but also encouraging me to take my workouts up a notch when he sees me getting into a rut. The other members are a great source of encouragement as well. There's a good mix of guys, ladies, members a few years older than myself as well as the younger members. Age and experience doesn't matter, you get welcomed by the other members from Day One. Jab Fitness is the best workout investment I've made in 20+ years of clubs/classes! "

Kamarah Pasley

"JAB FITNESS has been the best gym experience! I am so used to boring, long distance running that JAB was a fun change. I get one of the best workouts in only 45 minutes, even though you could stay as long as you want. Joe is always concerned about you personally and it is almost like having one-on-one attention. I was a little nervous at first to be with all the guys boxing, but JAB is such a fun and great workout that I keep coming back! "

"Joe,                                                        June, 21st, 2007

You were busy when I left yesterday, but I wanted to tell you thank you. I started boxing and working out for this vacation in January weighing in at a flabby 198. I just weighed myself when I got home, and I was 168. That is unbelievable. I have reached all my goals I set for myself, and I even said once I've lost too much weight. Awesome. Without JAB, yourself, and the advice given along the way, I would have never reached those goals. The complements alone that I get daily are just wonderful. When I get back I have to start working for strength for my hiking trip.Thanks again for everything, Joe!"

"Before I joined Jab, I'd usually go to the gym and work out. Sticking to the basic and easy machines, like the treadmill and elliptical, was mainly my whole workout. I'd use the other machines in the gym, but was never sure if I was using them correctly without having to hire a personal trainer and additionally paying him/her by the hour. I've also tried the different classes offered at the gym, but would easily lose interest after the first break given.
Wanting to do something different that would keep my interest and motivation, I found JAB FITNESS. Knowing nothing about boxing when I first started, Joe Cassano made me feel comfortable, confident and motivated. He is very personable and supportive towards everyone. Now being a member for about two years, I've built up on my strength, skills and technique. There is never a dull workout which makes you coming back for more. I recommend JAB FITNESS to everyone!"

"Jab is a great place to train and work out. Joe is a really good trainer and friend."
Roy Salgado

"I first visited Jab after a friend recommended that I go try a workout. I hesitated as I had never boxed in my life. After the first 30 minute workout, I was hooked. The owner of Jab trained me over the next couple of weeks. From there the owner monitored my progress and introduced me to techniques as I progressed. Within the first month I lost 2 inches in my waist, which was my objective. I have been working out at Jab for over four months. I find it to be one of the most enjoyable parts of my day. It's fun, challenging and has put me in the best shape of my life!"

"You want to lose weight, get in shape, look and feel better---Jab Fitness is the place to be!!!! Jab Fitness is the "Cheers" of Illinois---a friendly place where every body knows your name, but unlike "Cheers" you're going to come away with a renewed physical vigor, and an enhanced enthusiasm for life.
Jab Fitness is owned, operated and run by the personable Joe Cassano. Joe is there to train, encourage, support and teach you. Using boxing equipment as the equipment of emphasis (there are ample weights available for those who want to incorporate weight training into their regime) you will challenge every muscle fiber to be involved. Hitting the big bags, jumping rope, and slashing away at the speed bags will not only improve your fitness, reduce that tummy, and trim the fat but will also instill confidence, and alleviate those daily frustrations.
Jab Fitness has a clientele that works hard but is very friendly. There is a real family atmosphere at the gym---throughout the year Joe has get togethers for the members, such as the club Christmas party, the summer barbeque and special events throughout the year.
If you are looking for a gym to improve your physical fitness, enhance your appearance, refresh your mental health and meet some great people---Jab Fitness is the place to be!!!!! Come join us!!!"

"I have been a member at Jab for almost a year and I can't say enough about the things it has done for my overall fitness level. I don't think that you can find a workout anywhere that offers as much benefit without taking up hours per week. The Jab workout helps you to improve speed, strength, stamina, power and hand-eye coordination. If you're serious about getting in shape, you owe it to yourself to come and take a look."

"I joined Jab Fitness looking for a way to get back in shape and lose weight. In the first 3 months I lost over 20 lbs thanks to Joe. There is no better workout, it covers it all: cardio, strength and your core muscles. Jab Fitness is a great place to work out. You have your own personal trainer in Joe. He is there to train and encourage you. It's the best workout you can get. I would recommend Jab Fitness to anyone at any fitness level."

"No Frills, Just Fitness.
Words worth their weight in gold, and you can take that to the bank! I have been with JAB for five years. I will be with JAB for life' JAB's circuit training is a workout for EVERYBODY. No age group, gender, or fitness level is exempt. When you walk through the door, you're with family and friends who will help you succeed not only in the ring, but in life. When I started, I was a puny sixteen-year old with an attitude problem. JAB quickly rid me of both. I am in the best shape I have ever been in my life. I hit harder, move quicker, and have more stamina and energy than I would have ever fathomed. The workout Joe guided me though my first day, and I will never forget this, whooped my ass better than my Momma ever did. And it STILL does! Whether I go in for three hours or a half hour, I leave happier and healthier than when I arrived. An hour on the heavy bag to distress and a few rounds on the speed bag is all I need to really feel alive! This is the only workout that will kick your ass, and keep you thirsty for more day after day. If you are looking to get in the best condition of your life physically, mentally, and emotionally ' this is the gym for YOU! JAB Fitness Training is not just a gym with a great workout: It is a way of LIFE. No Frills, Just Fitness' "
Chris Amlin, 21 Yrs. Old

"When I was younger, I was heavily into boxing and MMA training. I loved it, but with a career and family, the heavy sparring started to become impractical for me. I eventually had to stop training, but always missed the environment of a boxing gym. Recently, some minor health issues required that I find some sort of exercise program. I was reluctant because I was never a fitness club type and the thought of running on a treadmill or lifting weights did not appeal to me at all. Then I found Joe Cassano and Jab Fitness. Joe's program is the perfect program for me. When you are participating in an activity that you enjoy, it doesn't seem like exercise at all. With past fitness center experiences, I would sometimes find excuses not to go. With Jab Fitness, I am always motivated to get in there. Joe works very hard to properly show you the Jab routine and eventually you can do it on your own. Joe is a great trainer and motivator, and is always there to answer a question, or help personalize your routine. The workout is always challenging, the equipment is top-notch and the environment is friendly. My weight is down, my cardio is up and I feel in better shape now at 44, then I did at 34."

"Jab has been awesome the past few years. I always love going to the gym to get a few laughs, workout and have a good time. Jab is a great place to box because for one, it is not very costly and it is awesome obviously! Joe helps me relieve stress and anger that builds up. Joe has been an awesome friend and I love going to Jab because it's not frills, it's fitness baby!"

"I had been hearing about Jab from my Dad and how much he loved it for the past few years, so I finally decided to see why he loved it so much. After the first day I figured out what he was talking about. Joe taught me the right technique and continues to show me different ways to challenge myself. Jab is one of the few workouts that I look forward to doing. I have improved so much over the past three months. I can see and feel a huge difference in my endurance and strength. It is the type of workout that really challenges me, but I leave feeling really accomplished."
Katelyn Adducci, 18 Yrs. Old

"Jab Fitness has been the best workout experience of my life! After three months of training, I've lost 15 pounds (and counting) and starting to see that six-pack I lost so many years ago. Not only is Jab effective, but it's fun. I started out going 2-3 days a week, but now I'm disappointed if I go less than five. There are always new punches to learn and perfect as well as exercises to make the workout more intense. The owner, Joe, is not only a great trainer but also an amazing motivator and friend. He is always there, with a smile on his face ready to help you in the gym or just have a good laugh. If you're bored and/or unsatisfied with traditional gyms, you need to check out Jab Fitness Training. "
Nick Papadopoulos, 26 Yrs. Old

"At Jab Fitness, I have no problem finding the motivation to get myself into the gym. The series of exercises are higher in intensity and provide variation-two important aspects of a workout which most conventional gyms lack. Most times, I don't realize how long I've been working out, the time passes so quickly. I've had a great summer experience here-the environment here's truly unique; people here are friendly and positive and training is enjoyable. I encourage everyone to try Jab Fitness."

"Jab Fitness is not just a gym but a community. This is a place where you're not just a number, but a name. Joe makes everyone feel right at home as soon as you step through the door. Jab Fitness started out as a good workout and now it has become a way of life."
Jose Garcia

"Jab in a way is like 'CHEERS' where everyone knows your name! I used to be a P.E. teacher and am very familiar with traditional workouts that are marketed by other health clubs in town. Jab has afforded me a whole new type of workout that has produced immediate results that were evident from week one through this my third year! Joe is an exceptional trainer whose boxing and fitness knowledge rivals none. Over the past three years my workout has changed as my boxing skills have improved thanks to Joe Cassano's continuous instruction. No other type of workout rivals what you get from Jab day in and day out!"

Joel Medina 24 Yrs. Old

"Jab Fitness has been one of the best workouts I have ever done. I lost all my pregnancy weight, toned up and gained more energy. I went from jumping rope for 10 seconds to 30 minutes and hitting the bags with little force to real force. As a physical therapist, I really appreciate different forms of exercise. As a mom, I really appreciate having more energy for my kids and leading a healthy lifestyle. Thanks Joe."
Nikki Rivera 38 Yrs. Old

"I will always remember the first day I walked into Jab Fitness. I have previous martial arts experience (many, many years ago) and I always felt that something was lacking in the fitness club I had belonged to for the last few years. After my first workout with Joe, I realized what that was. Sweat, good old-fashioned sweat and the inability to complete a sentence because my heart was pounding and I was out of breath. Learning how to jump rope for 3 minutes straight is no easy task, yet Joe makes it look so simple. I found a workout that gets the whole body and mind involved. When I felt the power of my punch on the heavy bag, I knew I found my gym."

"Jab Fitness is a great place to have a great workout with great people. I have been to many different gyms and none of them offer what I can get working out at Jab.

"I recently turned 50 and was looking for a change in my workout routine. After 30 years of running and weight lifting I had gotten stagnant in my workouts and was looking for a jump start. JAB Fitness was a perfect fit! With no prior boxing experience I took the plunge and decided to try something completely new. I have been training at JAB for about 2 months now, usually 5 days a week. My endurance and stamina have increased dramatically and I feel better than I have in 20 years. I would highly recommend JAB Fitness for anyone regardless of their age or fitness level."

"As a Martial Arts Instructor, I'm always looking for new ways to stay on the cutting edge. There is a never ending pursuit of learning and developing my skills as an Instructor/Fighter. This is a way of life for me. Joe Cassano at Jab Fitness Training helps me keep that cutting edge. The aura of Jab Fitness is one in which you feel with all your senses that this is a place to workout to the max. You can smell the sweat, hear the blazing pops on the bags, see muscles rippling, and feel the quality of the equipment which is only the best. This is exactly my kind of place to train. Having a great facility is very important, although it means nothing without a great Trainer. As soon as the birds start to chirp in the morning to the time for the lights to go out, Joe is there. He is ready to motivate, instruct and challenge you beyond your expectations. He emulates patience, dependability, and most of all a true sincerity in helping people achieve there goals. He is the most personably person I have met and also a great friend. Thanks Joe for your ongoing support, and providing a service that everyone should experience and integrate into there life."

"I never would have thought boxing would be for me, but at JAB I feel like I fit right in. My Uncle Terry Quick told me about how tough this workout was, and boy was he right! JAB'S laid back atmosphere is one of its greatest qualities. I customized my own workout to fit my own fitness level and I can adjust it as I need to, to challenge myself even more. My overall energy and strength has increased tremendously. Joe is really there to push you to your limit and everyday I see improvement. JAB FITNESS IS THE BEST!!!"

"I've been with JAB for about 4 years now and it is by far the best thing I have ever been a part of. This boxing workout is the best physical training I have ever experienced. Over the years I have done numerous sports such as football, basketball and baseball and after everything, JAB Fitness has been the toughest, most intense and most fun I have ever had working out. It challenges you both mentally and physically and has put me in the best shape of my life. The people at JAB are great to work out with and motivate you as well. Joe Cassano is a great instructor and works with every single member to improve their skills. Joe is a great guy and he makes the boxing experience fun yet challenging. Get into JAB and try it out. Don't be intimidated by other members. Everyone starts out very slow but in no time you will be a natural who can't get enough. By far, joining JAB is one of the best decisions I have made and I plan on continuing for many years to come. Thanks for everything Joe!"

"I joined Jab Fitness about two years ago when I was looking for something different than my traditional weight lifting and running on a treadmill. I've always been a big boxing fan and figured I'd try something new to keep me enthused about my work outs. Man did I make a great choice. The Jab Fitness has provided me with an intense workout that combines both strength and cardio training. Now I work harder in 30 minutes than I did in an hour doing my traditional workout. Not only did I lose 8 pounds in the first month, I also increased my upper body definition and overall stamina.
If you're looking for a great workout that combines cardio, strength training and overall confidence, give the Jab Fitness workout a try.
You won't regret it! "

Gilly Torres, 35 yrs. Old

"For the last 15 years I have spent thousands of dollars on high end fitness clubs and personal trainers only to find the results mediocre. In my search for something different I decided to take a chance on Jab Fitness which was far from my comfort zone. The workouts are tough but the results have been spectacular. In three months I have lost three inches in my waist and my fitness level has been the best it's been in my adult life."
Terry Quick, 44 yrs, Old

"I've been at jab for about 2 years, and at the beginning it was tough but once you get used to it it's the best! What I love about Jab is Joe's help.

"I joined Jab Fitness to add variety to my exercise routine of running. Jab Fitness is a great place to train and it all starts with Joe. From the moment I joined Jab, Joe was there to welcome me to the club and start me on the Jab boxing circuit. Joe continues to provide training, support and encouragement every time I train. Even on days when I don't feel like working out when I get to Jab that all changes. It provides me with an overall workout that is invigorating and provides me with renewed energy. Jab training has definitely improved my overall fitness level both physically and mentally. I have improved my cardiovascular health, core strengthening and muscle tone. I am slimmer, toned and I feel great working out at Jab. I find myself wanting to go to Jab to train and Joe provides an atmosphere at the gym that encourages me to do better, train harder and work to improve myself. The clientele is friendly, encouraging, and great people. Joining Jab is the best decision I made. Friends and family have noticed a change in me and ask what I do - I say 'Jab Fitness!'"

"Joining Jab Fitness has gotten me back into shape. I never liked regular gyms because I never had a partner to go with regularly. So if I went, I wouldn't push myself. At Jab, you don't need a partner, plus Joe is there to push you or if you need assistance. You catch on pretty quick to the workout and it becomes addicting. Joe makes it enjoyable to be there and knows what he is talking about. Jab Fitness is the perfect place to go to relieve stress. I've gotten addicted to working out at Jab Fitness and have started to see results in a rather short period of time. I would recommend Jab Fitness to anyone who may be stressed, looking to slim down or just looking for some fun."

Eric C. Borden

"When I first started at Jab I couldn't jump rope for a minute, I couldn't go a full round on the heavy bag, and I seemed to miss the speed bag more than I hit it. A year later and 40 pounds lighter I can honestly say that Jab has provided me with the most challenging workout I have ever had. Not only does Jab provide you with a warm and welcoming environment, it also has a personal, hands on approach to boxing. Joe is capable of training and customizing a routine for boxers at every level of skill and age. Working out at Jab has increased my muscular endurance and strength and provided me with a fun outlet for my cardio."

Joe,

I wanted to let you know how grateful I am for finding JAB Fitness. I joined the first week of October with 42 days until my wife and I left for our Hawaiian vacation. My goal was to trim some weight and tone up before hitting the beach. I came in weighing 190 pounds of flabby and I am proud to say that after 2 months of hard work and lots of fun, I am weighing in at a lean 179 pounds. This is the first time in 6 years I've weighed below 180 pounds and the best part is, I've rediscovered that I have abs!! Finding JAB was a gift for me. Not only was I looking to lose weight and tone up, but I was looking for a stress reliever and believe me when I say hitting the heavy bag does the job. My wife agrees that I look better than I have in years and am more relaxed than I've been in months. Anyone considering JAB needs to go ahead and commit to bettering yourself and join. I was hesitant at first, but I have to say Joe Cassano is great with everyone and treats every person exactly the same'with respect and care. Thank you Joe, my wife and I are very grateful for JAB and what it's done for me so far. Unfortunately for you, you'll be seeing a lot more of me as I plan on working out at JAB for a long time to come!"
Brad Tracy, 29 yrs. Old

"I have been going to Jab for about 18 months. Let me tell you - I hate to work out. I don't like gyms or fitness centers. But Jab is different. I do not consider this a gym or fitness center. I consider Jab a club where you see friends. I have some laughs and workout. And what a workout it is! By eating right and the Jab way I lost 35 pounds. I have not felt this good in 3 years and I owe a lot to Joe and Jab. Keep up the good work."

"I've been a member of Jab Fitness for 3 years and still loving it. The workout routine never gets old, it gets better. Once you learn the basics of boxing conditioning, you then improve on technique, speed and endurance. Joe is always around to challenge you and never misses greeting you as you enter the gym. Jab members come in all shapes and sizes and are all very friendly. I have never felt self conscious or out of place at Jab. Boxing is a great workout- Try it and you'll be hooked like I am."

"Those days where I feel like I'm about to start crashing into other cars and maybe plow down some pedestrians from built up frustration, or hell even robbing a bank because I feel like a walking psycho that day, I remember that special place where the heavy bags are hanging and the speed bags are being hammered like the sound of 20 death metal drummers in a drum competition. Having a workout place like Jab utilizing boxing can really regain your sanity along with getting one of the best physical workouts you can imagine. It's also great having a guy like Joe Cassano to show you the ropes to get you going. He has the patience and is more than willing to show you stuff and work with you with no awkwardness. He's one of the best! Jab Fitness is a place where you can walk in full of rage, workout, do some boxing, exert some energy and walk out with a smile feeling rejuvenated."

"I found out about Jab through a fellow coworker. After my first meeting with the owner Joe Cassano I knew this was the place for me. As soon as you walk through the door, Joe gives you a greeting unlike any other place can. While you train, he provides you with all the support and knowledge you need to succeed. In less then four months, Joe has helped me get into shape and boost my confidence. In that little time, I can't believe I've lost 30lbs! Thank you so much Joe! "

"A couple of years ago I was in search of a gym, but not just any gym, a 'Boxing Gym' something different from the day to day workout factories. So I searched on the web and found Jab Fitness. I was a little intimidated at first, so I asked my husband to join first to see how it was. He loved it, and I joined a month later. Joining Jab Fitness has been one of the best decisions my husband and I made. My normal day at Jab Fitness starts with jumping rope then hitting the heavy bag, followed by hitting the speed bags and ending with a series of floor exercises to build my core muscles. One thing about Jab Fitness is that everyone is so nice. Joe is always available if you have questions or need assistance with your workout. I believe that your most important asset in your life is your health. Jab Fitness is definitely an excellent way to loose weight and stay healthy."
Maria L. King, 36 yrs. Old

"Jab Fitness is a great place and the owner Joe is a great person. On the weekends, I stay active by frequently playing basketball, baseball, or hockey. By working out at Jab, I'm able to stay in shape which helps me to play at a competitive level and remain injury free."
Mark Rivera

"I started a year ago at Jab and weighed 170lbs at only 5'2". Now, I step much lighter at less than 150lbs. The only disadvantage comparing now to then is that it feels colder during the winter but I'm more than happy to live with that."

"Jab Fitness is a great place to be. Joe is very friendly and he is very helpful and is always there. Boxing is very fun and intense. It feels so good after a great workout at Jab Fitness."
Mike Cancelliere

"I have been a member at Jab for 3 years. Jab has helped me become a better person both inside and outside. Since the first day at Jab I can't get enough of this place. I am more confident then ever and in the best shape I have ever been in. Joe is a great friend and mentor. Joe never gave up on me and always has great things to say on improving my routine to just how my day went. Jab has turned my life around and will only get better as time goes on."

"I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge and endorse Joe, from Jab Fitness Training. This facility is one of the most exhilarating places I have ever worked out. The motivation that Joe provides is great. You can work out at your own pace but Joe is always available to give a positive push. Consistency, above and beyond anything experienced in other gyms, working out 3 to 4 times a week with new and innovating techniques wrapped up in the basics of boxing. I feel I can overcome anything I put my mind to, I feel totally satisfied every time I complete my workouts. I've been a member for less than a year but Joe really makes me feel "like an old shoe", right at home. I strongly encourage anyone who wants a tough, consistent and exhilarating workout to join. Come see and feel the difference at JAB Fitness Training, but only if you want to work hard and get results."

"Boxing is one of the most fun and most rewarding activities in my life. I'm glad I chose Jab Fitness because it gives you a great sense of belonging and couldn't ask for a better trainer than Joe. The amount of cardio and exercise you get in training is amazing and thanks to it, I am in better shape now than when I started. Maybe when I'm his age, I can only hope to be at Joe's physical level. Train hard!"

"Jab is great. I'm a hockey player and after only 4 months of working out my coaches and I have noticed lots of improvement with not only speed but even my shot has gotten better. Joe is a really great guy and really knows what he is doing, so thanks Joe for all your help."
Ryan O'Hara, 16 yrs. Old

"Before coming to Jab, I use to go to a typical gym with free weights, machines, treadmills, etc. It didn't take long for me to realize that I wasn't getting anywhere on an exercise bike. So I checked out Joe's place and the next day I cancelled my gym membership. At Jab, I feel like the exercises I do are not only building my body and making me more fit; I am also building a useful skill. At a health club, you have to pay a trainer to show you what to do and how to do it. But after 3 days, he is gone unless you fork over more cash. Well at Jab, Joe is always watching. It's as though he is on quality control at all times and if he sees something that you can use to improve your routine, he comes over to let you know. Jab is also informal and flexible - unlike strict martial arts schools. I feel like I can move at my own pace and advance naturally here. So far, after about 2 months, I have lost over 15 lbs. and have gained a very practical exercise routine."

"Jab Fitness is an intense, efficient, challenging work out. I have been working out for 20+ years and this has taken my fitness level up in a very short period of time. I recommend it to anyone who isn't afraid of hard work."

"The boxing circuit at Jab is the best cardiovascular workout I have had since I left collegiate wrestling. Prior to working out at Jab I never had any experience boxing. Jabs owner & operator, Joe Cassano, personally trained me how to do this workout. In a few simple months I obtained the skills needed to maximize this boxing workout. When I master one skill, Joe introduces me to something new so it never gets boring. I have now been there for two years and still love to go to the gym."

"I have worked out for many years, but no other workout has changed my body the way the Jab workout has. It is a great combination of aerobic and muscle-building exercise, and I am stronger, but leaner, in my core, arms, and legs. I have tried everything from running to weight-lifting to step classes, and no other workout has made me feel better and look better than this one has. I started boxing to escape the monotony of treadmill workouts, and now I really enjoy the physical and mental challenges provided by my boxing sessions. It is a tough workout, but you can progress at your own pace and comfort level.
Joe is a friendly person who makes the workouts fun, and he made me feel welcome even though I knew absolutely nothing about punching a bag when I started working out at Jab Fitness. Joe has transferred his enthusiasm and love for the sport of boxing to me and his other clients."

"If you're looking for a great workout with a friendly environment, JAB Fitness is the place to go! Joe will show you just the right way to complete the exercises so they will be as effective as possible. There are always people of all ages there, so even if you're a kid, there will be other kids, too. Some of the exercises are even fun, so I guarantee you that you won't find a workout better than boxing at JAB Fitness Training."
Andrew Merkley, 11 yrs. Old

"Never have I endured a work out as physically demanding yet emotionally and socially rewarding as the boxing workout at JAB Fitness. The fitness routine, broken into 3 minute rounds varying between jump roping, speed bag work and heavy bag work trains ones body to not only be a good boxer but also to be a better athlete and a more healthy individual. I, being a runner for high school cross country and track teams, used to lack the muscular strength exhibited by my football playing peers but that is no longer an issue due to the workouts at JAB Fitness. Boxing serves as a great cross training aid that will supplement ones performance in any sport. I have also made a lot of new friends at the gym which is a nice social facet of the work out. Don't worry about being too weak or too young or too shy or too old; Joe Cassano, the owner, is one of the friendliest guys I know and I know he treats all of his members with the utmost respect. I would most definitely recommend JAB Fitness Training to anyone"

"Jab Fitness has helped me lose weight incredibly fast and it is as fun as heck. It's addicting and I can take out my steam on the heavy bag. If I couldn't make it to boxing I would die from disappointment!"

"I've always wanted to learn how to defend myself. I've tried it all; wrestling, Jui Jitsu, Karate'you name it. However, I always found myself having a hard time getting motivated and there was just too much to remember with all that.
Ever since I started coming to JAB, I have felt that there is NO BETTER WORKOUT! I'm learning how to throw punches and I'm getting stronger and more fit in half the time I spent with all the other stuff. Not only that, Joe Cassano (God) is always there to keep pushing me and teaching me new things. I couldn't be more impressed with the results I've seen thus far. Do yourself a favor and learn how to get in shape and kick some ass in only a couple of hours a week as I have done."

"THANK YOU, JOE! Since I joined in April I've lost 20 pounds of fat and gained nearly 10 pounds of muscle. I've improved my overall health and eliminated the knee and back pain I used to suffer from. At age 43, I'm in the best shape of my adult life thanks to your personal instruction and coaching. I really enjoy the boxing regimen and you've created a great atmosphere for your members to workout in. As an added bonus, I'm ripping the golf ball and softball farther than I have in 20 years. I give you the credit, Joe, as I've vastly increased my core strength and hand-eye coordination. Keep up the great work!"

"I have been a power walker for many years. I had tried other exercising places and they were just "okay". A year ago, the walking stopped, but the food intake didn't and boy - quickly came the extra pounds. So, I decided to get myself together'old fashioned way - diet and exercise. I walked into Jab Sept. 1st, '05 and have never wanted to do anything else. Many members will say, "It's addicting." I never think, "I have to go to the gym - yuck." I WANT to go.
The first reason is Joe. He's your personal trainer, a guy who always brings you up in spirit. His "don't worry, everybody gets it" phrase is a constant reminder. He's not a pushover, though. He'll work with you and for you. He's everybody's mentor and friend.
The second reason is how I feel and look. My head is soaked most often when I leave. My arms and legs often have that exercise burn, but I have never looked this fit. I have never felt this good either. I'm healthier, starting to see some definition, 15lbs lighter and have never been happier. I always recommend Jab to people I meet. You'll love it too."

"Jab Fitness Training is inspiring. I wake up every morning anticipating my workout. In just 6 weeks, I've trimmed my body enough to purchase a smaller sized swimsuit. This is the lifetime fitness program I've been waiting for'I'm hooked!"
Angela Stirn, 38 yrs. Old

"Training at 'Jab' has increased my overall fitness level to a point I once thought unattainable. The combination of cardio and strength training will definitely boost your metabolism while improving muscle tone and overall cardiovascular health. The intensity level is so high that all I need is a 45 minute workout, about half the time I would spend at a conventional gym. With each week, I have noticed improved strength and stamina. 'Jab' is great!"

"Finally, I found a workout that I really enjoy! After years of going to other gyms and not really getting anything from it, I decided to join JAB. I have been a member for over two years now and I look forward to my workouts. The workout is tough and intense'definitely the hardest training I have ever done. Joe, the owner of JAB has helped transform my body and get me into great shape, and for that I thank him! I would highly recommend this workout to anyone who wants real results and a change in your life."

"Since leaving college flabby and overweight, Jab has quickly gotten me back into shape. Never since playing sports has a workout like this gotten me excited on a day to day basis. By putting in a few days a week and eating decently, you will see results. I never get bored with this workout because there is always something new to learn, whether it be a different combination on the heavy bag or a new trick on the speed bag. After seeing differences in yourself, both inside and out, you will be hooked. Outside of the instruction Joe gives you during your training, he is also an awesome friend. Thanks again, Joe!"

"The No Frills, Just Fitness concept at JAB works perfectly for me. With Joe's one-on-one assistance, I hit my first two goals and am on my way to the third. The workouts are customized, challenging, and unique. I really enjoy training here in the fun and laid-back atmosphere at JAB."

"I've tried many different workout classes, even had my own personal trainer. Jab is by far the toughest, greatest workout I've ever done. The best part about working out at "Jab" is only needing 45 minutes or less and you've had a killer workout!"
Norma Wagner, 34 yrs. Old

"I came back from college and was looking for a place to work out at a reasonable price for the summer. A friend of mine introduced me to JAB and I've loved it ever since. Joe is always there to push you harder and always makes you feel important with the one on one attention he provides. It's by far the best 30 minute workout I've ever done! Thanks Joe!"
