FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
As a fitness professional who knows and appreciates hard work. You will get someone who respects that you work hard for your money and appreciates it when someone is willing to take out of their finances to hire me. So it's important for me know that this is what you want and that we can work together before you make an investment, and that best investment is: YOU! So give me a call when you’re ready to get serious! So that we can set you up for your first trial session and workout. I look forward to hearing from you. Best in Health, Your Fitness/Self Defense and Motivational Coach, Vinny Cruz

- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Fitness and Martial Arts have been my love and passion 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, motivating and helping people to change their lives and to reach their fitness goals my lifelong career. So in 1983 at the age of 16, I started Cruz Fitness Systems. 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!
