The Pistokache Gym

Review №1

Rating: 1

**Review:** Leaving this 1-star review because Pistokache Gym seems to have no regard for the surrounding community. Blasting music at 6 AM every single morning is not only inconsiderate, it s downright disrespectful. It s clear they don t care about the people living nearby who are forced to wake up to their obnoxiously loud music. This has become a daily nuisance. If you value peace and quiet in the early morning, stay far away from this place.

Went for info so I can take my 10 year old. Met the owner and his mom. Great people. Showed me around. Answered all my questions. Very nice, clean gym. The family history is very interesting. Signed up my son. He is pretty excited.

The manager is cool and allowed me to sign up for a day. I was convinced to enroll due to how amazing the equipment was. This is considered an authentic gym if you want real weights. I have been to many gyms and that is nothing compared to the weights this gym has. Iron weights over rubber weights any day. It was a great experience for me!

They said they had an open gym for free I waited a whole hour just to not play anything with my friends. All because the stuff were not keeping track and when they came they told us to leave.

This has been the best decision I have ever had. I joined because of the reviews as well as their mission statement. The coaches have been very welcoming and helpful! I joined as well to break out of my shell; to get healthy. This is my first week attending and it has been the best. This is completely different to a regular gym, the coaches correct you and let you know how to do the exercises correctly. I highly recommend anyone wanting to try out a gym to come here first. You will not regret it! Don t think about it just come and see for yourself.

Just try it and you ll never want to train anywhere else. The staff is amazing! They provide instructions/tips whether you are in a class or just working out. If you find the gym scary, they teach you how to work out. Honestly, it s the first time in years that I finally see my body changing. Every week, I get stronger. PS just try it! you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

If you recognize iron sharpens iron, you ll love this place. If you wanna create sweat puddles in the squat racks you might have what it takes to be part of the tribe.

This facility is awesome. Personal growth, mental challenge, physical endurance and development of a work ethic to carry throughout your life. Jesse and Joaquin have true balance of spirit and excel in sharing their talent. A true community working towards the same goal. Wanting is not enough you must do, willing is not enough you must apply.

Pistokache Training Facility offers great training and excellent coaches. They provide a unique and wonderful training environment for their athletes that is unique to the Rio Grande Valley. Basketball training improves ball handling skills, footwork, and overall basketball IQ. What I enjoy most about Pistokache is that the coaches encourage their athletes and provide positive feedback on how the athlete can improve. I highly recommend PTF!!!

Pistokache Training is an outstanding training facility with phenomenal staff. The staff is professional, experienced, and extremely dedicated to the training and success of the students. They take the time to fine tune movements and with repetition they ensure the students gain the muscle memory needed for basketball. Thank you Pistokache Training Facility for the self confidence you have provided our son.

I ve been going to Pistokache training since my Junior year in high school. Training there has put me at an elite level and i have grown so much as an athlete. I have become stronger, faster, more explosive for my sport. PTF has truly gotten me ready for the next level, i appreciate all they have done!

One of my favorite hobbies is racing my motorcycle. But that was very difficult to do after getting hit with the virus, as many of us did. After a few weeks, I tried to recover my strength and breathing on my own with home workouts and thought I was ready to ride again. I almost dropped my bike twice and I wasn t even on the street with it. So I asked for help at Pistokache Training Facility. Joaquin was patient with my training and worked at my pace, but pushed me to do more. I stuck with him for several months until I felt ready to hit the track again. Eventually I was back on the track, I performed better than I ever have and felt lighter on my bike as well. My racing suit ended up fitting so loose from the workouts I was doing with Pistokache, that I ended up having to get a smaller size. Distance now keeps from attending but one thing is for sure, I will forever be grateful for the new strength and ability this tribe committed to give me. Chief (Joaquin) earned that title in my book because of it. And the Tribe itself stands for so much that I believe in. Therefore, my support will always be on Pistokache Training Facility.

Was very impressed with the knowledge and skills the trainers had pertaining to basketball. They provide feedback through out the session and afterwards. They are professional and always return messages. Have been to several basketball facilities and this one is by far the best one. Your child will gain knowledge and skills. My daughter is playing college ball and comes during the holidays to train and they always accommodate her. Love this place. May God continue to bless your facility and your vision to help these athletes.

Great experience! Hands down the best gym in South Texas. This gym has character, integrity and is truly dedicated to what it stands for. The coaches here work one on one with you, and are genuinely supportive of your endeavors. I ve let them train my son before and he has increased his speed and vertical. Not to mention he is much stronger than before. Occasionally I ll come myself to lift and workout. The gym has old school vibes to it. The owner is a very warm and kind guy. I had forgotten pre workout one day and he gave me some! This place is a must try!

HIGH QUALITY, AMAZING GYM with THE BEST trainers. My daughter started training at Pistokache Training twice a week (sometimes 3 times) since the age of 13 and has loved every session. I have seen so much growth in the year that she has been there and I cannot wait to see how much more she will grow. Joaquin and Jesse are so committed and involved in helping their clients. They make it a point to get to know you and what your goals are and help you not only reach but exceed your goals. They are especially supportive with the students they train, they will make time to attend their clients school games. If you are looking for top notch performance training, fitness training or elite basketball training, Pistokache Training Facility is the place to be. You will get the best and you cannot get any better than what Joaquin and Jesse have to offer. You re training with the best in the RGV #PistokacheTraining

I ve been going to this gym for a few years now and consider it the best gym in McAllen and the RGV area. I really like it s uniqueness; it reminds me of going to a family owned restaurant rather than always just going to a commercial one; you can tell there s a lot more care and pride put into the work and upkeep. My main interest while training is building functional and solid movement patterns, so I appreciate their extensive turf and wide range of weighted kettle bells, and steel maces. They re also adding an outdoor training space which is different for a valley gym, if I m not mistaken. Will be able to get some sun while I lift which is cool.

Ive noticed a change in my body composition and strength level over the past month that I have been working with Quino.
