Who We Are

Jay Naude

Phoenix Strength & Fitness - Personal Trainer (Jay Naude)

Biography

“I get a kick out of seeing people getting stronger, growing (personally and physically), and being better each day than they were the day before. Working with people to achieve their goals and walking with them on their journey to strength drives me to push myself further and to continuously explore new ways to support my clients and deliver results.

I have been doing MMA for 11 years with Bobby Karagiannadis from BJMMA. This keeps me sharp, calm and focussed. I enjoy lifting heavy and I love seeing others work hard too whilst having fun. I’m always up for a challenge. But I value and teach the importance of balance, fun and recovery as well. My other hobbies include music, reading (fantasy), learning and rock climbing.”
