“I live in Los Angeles but I grew up in Nelson. Martial arts has been a big part of my life no matter where I live. When I come back to visit my family in Nelson, I always look forward to the Kickboxing and Cardio Strength Training Classes at Transcendent. Joey is an excellent instructor. The programming is right up there with the “big city” martial arts gyms I’ve studied with and the Transcendent Community is welcoming, respectful and fun. No big egos, just very cool people looking to better themselves in the most positive ways. Thanks again for the awesome workouts and making me feel at home! I look forward to training with you guys again! ”

“Joey is one the best trainers I’ve ever worked with. He is the definition of consistency. Always happy to see you, always creates a good workout, never missed a session or cancelled an appointment, always supportive, always learning and bringing fresh workouts. He is great at modifying exercises to deal with my body’s particular issues and old injuries. He focuses on the right form to avoid and prevent new injury. He will push me when I need to be pushed. Love it. Thanks Joey”

“As an out of shape couple in our late 50’s we started training with Joey over 4 years ago and right from day one we knew this was something we could continue doing. The atmosphere is always very upbeat and inclusive and you always leave feeling great about yourself. As a trainer Joey is as good as they get! We have never felt better.”

“So much fun. Great work out. I look foreward to this every week. I can’t believe I waited so long to try it. I always feel super pumped and energized after class. Teachers are so fun and friendly, didn’t matter that I wasn’t super skilled they still made me feel like I belong there. I get stronger every time. So glad I am doing this.”
