Fast-Track Your Fitness With Our Professional Coaches

Jarred Santos

I have been boxing my whole life. I grew up in a boxing family: My grandfather is a professional boxing judge, and my uncle boxed for UNR,

I boxed for UNR as well. I was a 3 time NCBA (National Collegiate Boxing Association) all American and a 2015 132 pound national champion. I also received fighter of the tournament for the light weight division. 

I am currently an assistant coach for UNR's boxing team, and an assistant trainer for JJ Mariano, a professional boxer from Reno​.

I started combat training in 1998, at Goju Sabudo-Kai Martial Arts Academy, which led me to coach and train in  boxing at Elite for the past 6 years. I chose to train in self defense for discipline and to have a better fitness foundation. I have been training and coaching for 24 years collectively.  

I love the diversity of my clients, I have worked with the special needs community, (physically and mentally disabled) along with kids, women and men. I am a TEAM USA registered coach which allows me to work with TEAM USA boxing athletes and coach them into competition. I thrive on empowering people to believe in themselves through discipline and offering my skill set to anyone willing to put in the work. The reward over the years that I have gained through coaching and being with the team at Elite is pure gratitude. I also train in CrossFit and have done both aspects of Elites classes for over 5 years. The combination of what we have to offer under one roof is unmatched.
