I met Jim Hooper in 1993 and about to open Balboa Fitness. I found his approach refreshing and innovative, so different from your everyday conventional " chain gym " work-out. He doesn't just use your typical gym equipment, he uses a unique style of training with unconventional tools, like different size balls, types of weights, ropes and balance tools. I am 65yrs. old, wasn't able to work-out for over a year, so when I got well enough to exercise i called Jim, he's the only person I wanted work with and i needed motivation to work -out. In 8 months of just one day per week, i am stronger and have definition in my muscles and I'm stronger in my sport of golf from the work-out Jim provides me. He works around my limitations, strength and tries to improve my weakness in a gentle but subtle way. He is the BEST in my book. Respectfully,Paulette Szayer  

 Jim Hooper and his staff, at Balboa Fitness, have developed a facility that meets the needs & requirements of the coaches and players on the PGA tour. While traveling, it's important to have the proper knowledge & equipment that allows us to keep up our intense daily practice routine. The coaches and players on the PGA tour recommend Balboa Fitness for all your biomechanic & golf specific training. Thanks Hoop! Joey Diovisalvi - Biomechanics Coach, PGA Tour
