JAM FITNESS GYM (Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu)

To address to the needs of health and weight conscious individuals, Jam Fitness Gym offers Boxing, physical resistance training (PRT), Yaw-Yan or the famous “Sayaw ng Kamatayan” martial arts, aerobics and taebo with dances like hip-hop, latin and basic belly dancing, and the Tetada Kalimasada to provide variety of options for the clients.

Jam officially opened its establishment in December last year to cater to a wide variety of market in a strategic location. “It all started out as a hobby of boxing my husband and youngest son enjoyed during the summer of last year,” Maita Espinosa Co of Jam Fitness said, which inspired the proprietors to open the gym.

JAM owes its name to the proprietors’ children namely, Jefferson, Alfie and Mai-mai (Herzel).

Boxing is one of the programs that’s gaining popularity among the locals. Hence, it is considered as one of Jam’s highlights that lures clients because of the training style and its effectiveness in losing weight in less than a month.

“Boxing fitness is the training that guarantees weight loss. The circuit training and drills are structures to enhance” one’s “stamina and boost regimen for a good lifestyle,” the management said in a press statement.

Furthermore, it benefits the boxer because it builds up strength and endurance, burns fats and calories fast, conditions the body, and improve self-confidence, among others.

Though, the gym has only one boxing trainer, yet he is considered as one of Jam’s assets. Rey Cosep, a retired international multi-awarded boxer in the 80’s, “is very committed to teach the students, spending quality time training each of them,” Eddie Chua Co, Jam General Manager said.

Another edge of the gym is its Tetada Kalimasada, an inner energy cultivation and therapy, originated in Indonesia. Jam is the first in Lapu-Lapu and the third in Cebu that offers this unique program.

Clients will be able to benefit a lot from the program because it empowers them to be able to develop inner energy for a holistic well being, helps heal oneself and others, helps one to gain inner balance through concentration and controls one’s mind and emotions, among others.

“The exercises done during the practice stimulate the main nervous system and the seven major points of the body known as the charkas,” the program said.

With a fast growth in the number of clients, Jam management plans of expanding the venue in the future to be able to accommodate this demand.
