Real Words, Real Results

  • Asuka knows his stuff. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, positive, encouraging, and knows exactly how to motivate you to push a little harder than you think you can. Every workout is challenging and also rewarding and he makes it welcoming for everyone. Highly recommend taking one of his classes or booking a PT session.

  • “After breaking my femur and struggling to regain strength and mobility on my own, I started training with Asuka at JAX. He’s friendly, knowledgeable, dedicated, and built a program that helped rehab my leg while teaching me how to train safely and effectively on my own. I’ve gone from being unable to stand on one leg to skiing again. I highly recommend JAX Fitness and Asuka.”

  • I’ve been seeing Asuka for a few months now for off ice training and help with shoulder issue. I’ve seen massive improvements to my agility and movement on the ice ,I feel like Crosby out there. As for my shoulder he assisted my physios game plan and I’m able to comfortably play again. Highly recommend him for athletes or anyone looking for performance.
