The Level Up! Arena is a transformation-driven fitness experience. Queer-led, mission-built, and powered by real progress.
We’re not a brand that “accepts” queer clients, we embrace them.
We’re a queer-owned, community-centered coaching system created by a proudly bisexual coach who knows how powerful it is to train in a space that celebrates who you are.
In here, strength is built, not judged.
Progress is personal.
And your identity isn’t a barrier. It’s part of your power.
You don’t need permission here. Just purpose.
The Level Up! Arena is a transformation-driven fitness experience.
Coaching designed like a retro RPG (role-playing game) and built to transform your body, mindset and discipline through structure, consistency, and personalized accountability.
Our full coaching program combines:
All wrapped in a retro-game aesthetic that brings the vibe:
Level-ups, hero classes, transformation arcs, side quests, boss battles and a coaching system that turns every win into XP.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or returning to the fight, you’ll train with intention, upgrade with purpose, and move toward the version of yourself that’s been waiting to be unlocked.
My name is Joshua V. Marron (he/him), but in the Arena, I go by Coach JV.
I’m the founder of The Level Up! Arena and a proud queer coach who believes fitness should challenge you, not box you in. This is a program built for results, not perfection. And while identity matters, it doesn’t define your potential, it fuels it.
Here, we train hard, own our progress, and never flinch from the work it takes to grow. Whether you’re LGBTQ+ or just looking for a coach who leads with clarity and compassion, I’m glad you’re here.
Before we dive in, here is a little bit more about me.
I’m based in Southern California and have spent over a decade transforming my life through movement, mindset, and plant-based strength.
But let me be clear, this hasn’t been one smooth, upward arc.
After a serious motorcycle accident, I was left with a metal rod in my leg and a long road ahead. I treated recovery like a quest; step by step, level by level; and it worked. But there have been setbacks too: injury, chronic pain, and more than a few battles with my mental health. Even recently, I’ve had to navigate a bulging disc in my lower back. And still, I rise. Because this journey isn’t about being flawless. It’s about being relentless.
That’s the heart I bring to coaching.
I’m a certified:
🎓 Health Coach (Institute for Integrative Nutrition)
💪 ACE Personal Trainer & Group Fitness Instructor
🧠 ACE Health Coach & Behavior Change Specialist
🛡️ Spartan SGX Coach (obstacle course racer at heart)
But more than that, I’m your co-op partner. That someone who’s been knocked down, gotten back up, and knows how to help you do the same.
If you’re struggling to start (or start again), I see you.
And I’ve got you.
Let’s get to work—and build something unshakable.
Now, Let’s Level Up together!

✅ You want real structure, not just inspiration
✅ You’re queer, trans, questioning, or proudly different and want a space that gets it
✅ You’re ready to train without code-switching (without hiding who you are) or shrinking yourself
✅ You want progress that’s custom, not copy-paste
✅ You thrive with coaching that sees all of you, body, identity, and drive
✅ You’re done trying to “fit in” and ready to Level Up!
❌ You want quick results without consistent effort
❌ You’re looking for community but aren’t ready for structure
❌ You need a one-size-fits-all plan instead of a personalized system
❌ You’re in a season where you can’t commit to regular check-ins (and that’s okay)
❌ You’re still exploring your readiness and want to come back later when you’re all in
Let’s get one thing straight. (Well… not straight. You know what we mean.)
Yes, that’s a pair of tighty whities on our logo. With a rainbow waistband. And we’re damn proud of it.
At Level Up! Arena, we don’t believe in playing it safe or covering things up. Those briefs? They’re about starting stripped down… physically and metaphorically. No armor. No hiding. No bs. Just raw, real you, ready to build your power from the ground up.
And that rainbow waistband? That’s pure queer energy. It’s Pride. It’s protest. It’s playful. It’s a wink that says, “Yeah, we’re a little sexy. Deal with it.”
Now about that green “L” and the arrow. The “L” stands for Level Up, but it also stands for Liberation. Living Loud. Loving who the hell you want. It’s reclaiming your space in a world that sometimes tries to box you in.
And that arrow? It’s not just pointing up for the gains. It’s about rising above shame. Above limits. Above fear. It’s growth, empowerment, and a reminder that you deserve to keep climbing higher, physically, mentally, emotionally, sexually. All of it.
So yeah… our logo’s bold, cheeky, and a bit rebellious. Just like us. And maybe like you, too.
Welcome to the Arena. Let’s get vulnerable. Let’s get sweaty. Let’s Level Up!
It’s okay to second guess and wonder if the time, effort and money investment is worth it. This program is built for those who aren’t sure yet.
It’s for the ones starting over.
The ones who’ve plateaued.
The ones who are scared to try again but know deep down they still want more.
You don’t need to be confident or consistent to start.
You just need a coach who actually sees you and a program that finally meets you where you’re at.
If that’s you?
You’re already ready enough. If you still have doubts though, know that The Level Up! Arena is a safe space where you’ll
never be judged for who you are or what your body looks like, only encouraged to become that version of yourself you are seeking.
Still on the fence? Schedule your free, no pressure consultation and let us show you why you already belong in the Arena.
You’ve made it this far for a reason.
You don’t just want a rainbow logo slapped on a workout.
You want a transformation guided by coaches who see you, structure that challenges you, and a space that honors who you are while leveling you the hell up.
This isn’t performative pride.
This is where identity meets discipline.
This is where training becomes a rebellion, a ritual, and a rise.
Most personalized coaching programs charge $200–$400 per month.
Many don’t include weekly check-ins, visual progress, or identity-affirming support.
The Level Up! Arena: Rainbow Edition gives you:
✔️ Full coaching
✔️ Weekly strategy
✔️ Nerd-coded vibes
✔️ Identity-centered design
✔️ A full transformation arc
All for as little as $41/month.
Same results. More heart. A fraction of the price.
🤔 Why is The Arena so affordable?
Look, coaching is expensive. And it’s worth every dollar.
Personalized training, weekly strategy, full support, that’s premium, and we know it.But here’s the thing:
We didn’t build The Arena to become luxury fitness for the few.
We built it to be accessible power for the many.Yes, our mission is growth. But our soul?
Our soul is in showing up for the community that needs us most, not just with rainbow banners in June, but with pricing that proves we mean it.Will our prices go up?
Yes, as we grow, as our costs go up, so too will the price, so by joining now, you are locking in the absolute best rate we will ever offer and once we grow, our offers to the community will grow as well.This isn’t a discount. It’s a declaration.
A choice to prioritize impact over ego.
And we stand by it.
Two paths. One legacy.
Pick your track, enter the Arena, and start building the version of yourself you’ve always known was in there—waiting to be unlocked.
