ABOUT COACH JESSE

Jesse is a New York City native and certified personal trainer, coach and mentor who has been boxing for more than 20 years. As a kid he'd sneak to Brooklyn (against his mom's wishes) from his home in the Bronx to learn from the legends at the world famous Gleason's boxing gym.

After losing both his parents to terminal illness as a teenager, boxing helped him survive and he knew he wanted to dedicate his life to helping people discover their path to wellness and inner and outer strength. 

Jesse has a passion for inspiring individuals of every age group and fitness level to become the best version of themselves. His coaching guides people through a journey that is both physically and mentally transformative.

Jesse knows first hand how the practice and discipline of boxing can offer so much more than a powerful workout…it instills a sense of confidence and empowerment that translates to all aspects of life.

Jesse offers the following programs at his gym in Charlottesville, VA

1:1 personal boxing and strength training

Youth mentorship and boxing training programs

Small group boxing and strength training

“Jesse is that guy that makes everyone around him feel special and important. His humor, warmth, and empathy are unmatched—- allowing him to connect with my 6-year-old son as easily as he does with his 70-year-old neighbors.
