Caio Terra Academy Fitness

- 871 Park Ave, San Jose, CA 95126

For many in the fast-paced Silicon Valley and throughout California, achieving true, sustainable fitness requires more than just access to a room full of machines—it requires expert programming, high-quality equipment, and a supportive community. Caio Terra Academy Fitness (CT FIT) in San Jose is the premier destination that merges world-class martial arts philosophy with elite functional fitness training. Located on Park Avenue, CT FIT has carved out a unique space that challenges members to achieve a higher level of wellness, embodying the philosophy that nothing truly worthwhile comes easy, but the rewards are undeniable.

Founded by 12-time World Champion Professor Caio Terra, the facility initially gained renown as the headquarters for the Caio Terra Association, focusing on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. However, in 2020, recognizing the need for integrated strength and conditioning, the academy expanded by 4,000 square feet to launch CT FIT. This expansion was a strategic move to provide members with a comprehensive fitness program designed by top industry leaders, including CrossFit Games World Champion Jason Khalipa. The resulting "Functional Fitness X" program is known for its combination of resistance, cardio, and timed High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts, ensuring a holistic approach to fitness that improves strength, flexibility, aerobic capacity, and overall wellness.

What truly sets CT FIT apart is its professional and friendly 'One Team' culture. As noted by members, "the boss and anyone is friendly, super recommend," fostering an environment where people feel inspired to push harder and sweat with purpose. This dual-focus gym—offering a top-tier gym environment alongside martial arts mastery—makes it an exceptionally powerful resource for anyone in the San Jose region looking for a complete physical and mental transformation. Whether you are aiming to work off the "pandemic pounds" or enhance athletic performance for the mat (or for life), CT FIT provides the programming and coaching to get you on the path to success.
