Testimonials

"I firmly believe personal training can be an incredible boost to achieving your health and fitness goals. For the past 10 years I have trained with countless personal trainers at several different gyms but none could compare to Jeff Delgado of Chicago Kickbox. Jeff is more than just a trainer he is a lifestyle coach. My previous trainers focused purely on the physical well-being. Jeff with his background in martial arts focused on the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Jeff incorporated into our sessions nutrition, meditation, music, plyometrics, stretching, even breathing techniques to draw more energy. Most importantly, Jeff was genuinely interested in helping me make positive changes in my life. If you are looking for someone to count your repetitions and push you through your last rep those trainers can be found anywhere for any price. If you are looking to make a genuine change in your life, tap into your limitless "feminine" strength, and feel a true connection with your trainer, than I could not recommend any other trainer than Jeff Delgado of Chicago Kickbox." -Esmeralda Reyes

"I have known and worked with Jeff for a couple years. After the first couple workouts I was impressed at his ability to train in a way that not only made me feel comfortable but also pushed me to my full potential. Jeff has taught me never to quit in the middle of a set, and to always fully complete the workout, which built self discipline. Through many of his technique's and skills, Jeff has proved to be one of the most diligent and effective trainers that I have worked with. I look forward to continuing our training sessions in the future and would highly recommend his expertise to all. For more information, please feel free to email me at Dina.khamis@gmail.com." - Regards, Dina Khamis

Hey! I just wanted to say thank you again for the challenging and rewarding kickboxing lessons. I feel like you made a real effort to tailor the classes for my needs (aka alot of speed bag). I was worried when I first started, the lessons would be inflexible and rigid. I was wrong. Thank you for taking the time to develop a lesson that was fun and kept me sweating. I look forward to continuing training back at home and when I move up ill be able to start up again. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! -Aubrey Taylor

His diet that he helps you out with will help with targeting the maximum results. He is patient and will focus on you in an efficient and effective way to get you the best results as quickly and safely as possible. This is why you want a great personal trainer, fitness instructor, and kickboxing coach like Jeff to be the one to change your life around only for the better of course. - Evelyn Cajas

Nutrition and exercise has been an important part of my life in the last two years. Before, I didn't watch what I ate and I wasn't physically active. Two years ago I went to see a nutritionist and she taught me what a healthy, normal eating plan is. The plan helped me lose forty pounds. My next goal was to tone and shape up. At that time, I was working out at a local gym and that is how I met Jeff Delgado. I approached Jeff and we discussed my health goals. Our goal as a team was to build my core strength, tone up, and learn basic techniques in kickboxing. Working out with Jeff made me stronger and wiser about my health. Now I enjoy jump roping and doing push-ups which are improving based on my patience and practice. It has been a rough journey, but it has been worth it all with the support of my family and Jeff. - Lana Avakia

If you are looking for a diverse approach to boxing and well being Jeff is the man to call. I didn’t know that there was so much more to the sweet science until I began my training w/ Jeff his knowledge allowed me to incorporate my boxing seamlessly into my Jujitsu base. Thanks again Jeff. - John P.

About

Jeff Delgado is no ordinary trainer. "My goal is to better myself through martial arts. It is up to a newer generation of martial artists to preserve what is ancient and present it in a modern way. With time and patience, people can do anything." Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, Jeff had to learn quickly how to defend himself against the gangs, abuse and alcoholism that were a part of his childhood. Jeff was inspired to teach self-defense and martial arts by the death of his friend Frank. Frank and Jeff met in high school and had very similar backgrounds. Growing up on welfare, always without enough food and fathers that were absent for most of their lives; Jeff and Frank built a friendship that helped them endure these hardships. Frank decided to focus his energy on his own body and mind and began studying with Master Lee, a Korean martial artist with a simple Jung Do school on the north side. Jeff, no stranger to street fighting, became interested and learned what he could informally from his friend. Eventually, he too joined Master Lee's school and trained nearly everyday for over six years with Master Lee. In 2004, Frank was murdered and left behind three young children and a devastated and vulnerable wife. Jeff, the Godfather to Frank's children, was shook by his friends' untimely death and the troubles Frank's wife would face in the future raising three kids on her own. It was around this same time Jeff's best friend was raped. Compounded with his own childhood of abuse, Jeff's anger over these injustices to the women he loved got him thinking. Jeff didn't waste too much time being angry-he decided to create a program for women to give them the power to defend themselves and to fight back against the oppression they feel everyday. Teaching simple and effective techniques of street fighting, martial arts and western style boxing, Jeff began teaching and working out with his girlfriends. At some martial arts schools he visited, he saw how women were treated differently from the other students. This would leave the women frustrated and they would eventually leave the discipline. He also saw many women (and men) go through "black belt" factories, leaving them with a false sense of security when they hadn't trained enough to be promoted so quickly. Jeff Delgado is not an ordinary trainer looking to make a buck. His philosophy is deeply rooted in the Korean notion of Jung Do the true way to  inner strength, empowerment through knowledge of self-defense and a healthy lifestyle. He finds great joy in watching his students grow and push themselves to levels they never thought possible. "When you tell someone who has always been brought up to think they can't do it, they are amazed to discover they can." Written by  Erin Polley
