Personal Training
“Jin has kept me on track with workouts and exercise for the last 8 months — a record for me. Starting regular exercise after age 50 is not always easy, but I’m much stronger now than 20 years ago and have noticed a real reduction in backaches and a real increase in flexibility.”
–Irene K.

We at Barebones Personal Training realize that all people are busy with work, family and life in general. Trying to reach health and fitness goals can be a daunting challenge.
Those that do find the time to exercise usually follow a standard routine that they may have seen on TV, read in a magazine or made up on a whim. These routines inevitably become stale and the body will plateau. Discouragement follows and then training is abandoned.
We implement traditional methods of personal training along with some unconventional forms that our clients are finding to be more efficient and effective, not to mention more fun. We constantly change up the training to challenge our clients. Some of our fitness methods are:
- Kettlebells
- Medicine balls
- Manila ropes
- Traditional free weights
- Innovative use of treadmills and stairclimbers
- TRX suspension training
Whatever your health and fitness goals, be it fat loss, muscle gain, better sports performance, Barebones Personal Training can help you achieve them.

Sports Performance Coaching
“As a member of the USA Fighting Team, it is key for me to be on point at all times. Jin has helped me grow physically and mentally. From an old school method of training such as Kettlebells to the infamous Manila Rope, Jin and his training have helped me to win multiple titles throughout the world.
Due to Jin’s poise, precision and audacity, he has helped build the strength in not only my national karate team but the confidence levels in over 750 of my own personal students.”
–Kyle Richards, WORLD CHAMPION 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008
