OUR STORY
We are a family-owned and operated fitness facility, specializing in custom training programs and small group classes. Our programs are developed to encourage, motivate, and challenge you to overcome both physical and mental obstacles that prevent you from achieving your health and fitness goals - whatever they are.
WHAT SEPARATES US FROM THE REST?
Personalized Attention. Customized personal training programs designed specifically for your goals instead of a "one size fits all" approach.
Small, Exclusive Group Classes. Allowing our head trainer, Jon Varela, to better focus on each individual to ensure proper technique and movement and not forsake safety.
Professional. Jon holds a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science with an emphasis in Health and Physical Promotion (Kinesiology) & Muscle Development, not just a certificate you can get on the internet or at a day seminar. (Although he does have a lot of certificates, too!)
Experience. Jon has 20 years + in the industry getting people results.
We’re Athletes, Too. Jon's spent his life competing in soccer, endurance events, and strength competitions in multiple countries. Including the CrossFit Games and other elite competitions around the world.
Our Community Matters. We are a small family-owned business that truly cares for our clients and community. We believe in giving back to our communities by donating our time, energy, and money to causes we believe in.
We teach and support fitness as a LIFESTYLE, not as a fad or phase.
WHERE DID WE GET OUR NAME?
The word kurâ (ko͞orá), or "jaguar", derives from the language of the Boruca Indians, one of the eight indigenous tribes of Costa Rica, where our Jon was born and raised. The Boruca are known for their beautiful masks, many of which display the face of a jaguar. Much of the culture and folklore from the Boruca tribe focuses upon the strength and power of the sacred jaguar.
