Trainers in Chico

“I trained with Master Chuck Duran, and his brother Al Duran in the early 2000's. I started when I was 10 years of age, which at the time was rare as the school did not allow many youngsters to train due to the intensity and formality of the traditional style being offered. Many years later, the only things that have changed are inclusivity (all ages are welcome and taught to at their individual level), a nice new padded floor, and the skill level of Master Chuck. I cannot say enough about this man, and so will leave it to you to explore his genuine heart of kindness, and firm depth of knowledge and skill in this art. Let me be clear YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER INSTRUCTOR or a better school for that matter in the Chico area, or anywhere I've been, and I've lived all over the country and world. If you are seeking the magic you've known exists in the martial arts as part of the internal development of qi (energy) and how that cultivation actualizes in a master, you will not be disappointed. The power of internal qi cultivation is not to be downplayed, although, admittedly, it is very rare to actually find as an expression of a very functional martial art. If you are looking for more than a workout (although you will certainly get one), if you are a seeker that knows one must look inward in order to see anything outward, you have come to the right place. Welcome home.“

“My son is working on strength training with John for baseball and football. He has been loving it! He jumps out of bed early those days which is not the norm for a teenager. He is excited to report his gains to me and I'm excited to see him making healthy choices.“

“My family and I have lived in different places within the State and out of the State, and We have always visited health club, but never seen anything like Emotion fitness in Chico is the I ever seen and enjoy as health club has very many amenities, it is a resort of luxury and the is friendly, we love it and highly recommend it to anyone!“

“Went for my second visit today and so far so good. I go in off times so it's not that busy and other gym goers are fairly friendly. The guy who checked me in first day was super nice and explained everything. Only issue today I put my Adidas Zip up in a locker for 30 minutes, kept my valuables but figured a light jacket was safe. Came back to an empty locker so make sure to lock the lockers. Front desk didn't care at all which was disheartening. It's my own fault but frustrating. Bring a combo lock.“
