About CFS
Hello! My name is Vinny Cruz, I am a Fitness Expert, Motivational Life Coach and Reality Based Self Defense expert. At the age of 57, married 30 years and father to 3 beautiful girls, I know the difficulties that life brings on while trying to live a healthy life style. But, that’s life! And that is why I feel a sense of accomplishment when people say, “You’re in great shape or you make that look so easy.” Well, with God’s help over the years, I just put in a lot of hard work, and many hours of blood, sweat, sacrifice, tears, and faith in God to make it look that way. So, you better believe that I am overjoyed to show the success, victory and blessings that God has given me. I am my own worst critic, and I demand the best from myself. No one else will do this for me, except me and God Almighty! Fitness and Martial Arts have been a part of my life since the age of 12. My desire to pass on the knowledge that I’ve acquired in these fields over the years to others, eventually led me to making training, guiding and motivating others to reach their fitness goals my lifelong career. So in 1983 at the age of 16, I started Cruz Fitness and Self Defense Systems. Helping people to change their lives is all I do. Being a personal trainer and self defense instructor is an important part of my life. It is not a hobby or a part time job as it is for many others. I live it every day, and will probably die with this lifestyle of always reaching my full potential, and motivating others to reach theirs as well. It is what I do, it is what I do best, and it is what I know. I have trained and worked hard to achieve what I have, and so will you as my client! I live INTENSITY!
I have worked in the health and fitness industry for over 40 years. I am currently certified under the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), I am also a TRX Certified trainer. I have worked at many prominent New York City and Los Angeles Health Clubs, such as: The New York Health and Racquet Club and Equinox. I have helped hundreds of men and women achieve their health and fitness goals, and looking their best, ranging from bodybuilders, power lifters, Boxers, Kickboxers, MMA Fighters to the average soccer mom or dad, pre and post natal women, to the elderly. My specialty is integrating Kickboxing with High Intensity Interval Training because MMA fighters have incredibly strong and ripped bodies and while recreational kickboxing alone will not make you an ultimate fighter, it can sure help you get a physique like one!
Part of my job is helping you answer a very important question: Why do I need a professional fitness trainer like Vinny Cruz to train me? To start off, having a one on one personal fitness trainer is the proper way to learn about nutrition and exercise which will then help you to become tight, lean, radiant and healthy! It also helps to have someone who understands that many people such as you work in the corporate world. And that making time for your health and peace of mind in a world of unending demands can be difficult. But, the bottom line still stands that even with all of these demands you still need to make the time and space because: Fitness Matters! The health benefits of moderate exercise are substantial, including improved mental health and physical conditioning, plus a reduced risk of numerous chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and colon cancer. Physical exercise also increases your confidence, stimulates your ability to think and reason better. With all of these benefits, how could you possibly pass on the opportunity to take advantage, of looking out for the greatest asset you have: YOU! And truthfully, You will NOT train yourself and reach your goals faster without my help! That is my challenge to you. I am looking for those who are willing to take that challenge! The question is, “Will you choose to be one of them?”
The sessions are $80 for the hour if you live in the North Hollywood, Valley Glen, Valley Village, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Toluca Lake, Burbank or Glendale area. If you are outside of these locations and need me to travel to you and train you in the comfort of your home or outside area, the rate is $100. for the hour. And if you enjoy the training session and I know that you will! You are not obligated to buy any amount of package sessions. You only pay for the amount of sessions that you train for on a week to week basis. That’s it!
The question is, “Will you CHOOSE to be one of them?” It all starts by making, A CHOICE, to start, TODAY!
So get excited! This is not a temporary fix, but a change for life! Expect success!
