Josh is well respected in the local skate scene for his abilities on a board. But what really sets him apart is his ability to explain and demonstrate the fine motor skills necessary to skate with speed and confidence. I have been skating with my son for almost 10 years teaching him myself. Josh has been worked with my son for only 3 sessions so far and my son’s level progression has dramatically increased. Josh knows what my son is capable of even when he questions himself. I highly recommend anyone looking to improve on a board to book a session with Josh. It is money well spent.

Homeschool 2020 has been a new experience this year and were so grateful for Josh and Jake for their skate lessons. My daughter worked with Josh this Fall and she had so much fun. She enjoyed the challenges of honing her old tricks and pushing outside her comfort zone to learn new techniques. Josh was attentive to her skillset and in six short weeks, she was cruising around Sunnyvale with confidence and smiles. Thank you!! :)

Jake and Ivan are great coaches. My daughter decided to get a skateboard and try it out at the beginning of COVID and she has gained so much confidence and ability these last few months working with them both. They are patient and great teachers, I so appreciate them.

Josh had been great, so thankful I had found him. The kiddo was trying to learn tips and tricks from the videos but it had been a frustrating struggle. Josh, during the very first class, patiently corrected, smoothly guided and made the kid actually enjoy the experience of skateboarding! Josh helped my son to build confidence and skills with positive encouragement as well as teach general skate park rules and etiquette. Since I have to drive with the kid, I had been able to observe my kiddos lessons but also generally observe the interactions Josh has with his students but also with parents and other skateboarders. Josh is well liked and respected, but the thing that strikes me most, Josh is always helping others, he is very aware what is going on at the park and if someone struggles in the skill, falls, etc., Josh is always there to extend his help and advise. Highly recommended!

I have been taking lessons with josh for about a year now, I assure you, you will have a great time while progressing at a very fast rate! He is very nice and supportive. Just last year, I could barely do any basics and now I am confident in skating both transition and street! He has taught me so much!

My 7 year old daughter loves taking skateboarding lessons with Jake and Josh. Jake has been very friendly, patient and has keep my daughter safe while giving her confidence as she is building her skills.

Josh is amazing. He is one of the most credible, authentic and trustworthy people I know. But, most importantly, my son trusts him. He says, “Josh is a great teacher. I trust him and what he asks me to do. He pushes me. I trust that when he says I can do something, then I can do it, even if it seams scary at first.” The best thing for me is seeing the smile on my son’s face and the sense of accomplishment he has from skateboarding with Josh.

Josh is awesome! He has worked with my 5 year old son for a few months now and his skills and confidence noticeably improve every session. Josh is an awesome skateboarder and has a true gift for teaching - he is always enthusiastic and engaging and knows exactly how to challenge his students regardless of what level they are at. We were so impressed that he takes the time to teach how to slide and fall safely, skatepark etiquette, all at the same time as having fun and learning new tricks. We feel so fortunate to have found Josh; my sons lesson with him is the highlight of his week!

Josh and Jake are great instructors who knows how to work well with the kids. Keeping it fun and interesting for kids but firm when needed. I highly recommend them to any parent interested in getting their kids started in skateboarding or progressing their skills to the next level.

Jake is am amazing instructor. Hes very patient, eager, and makes my daughter feel very comfortable on her board. Jake has brought my daughters confidence level to an all time high, and we truly appreciate all the time he has put in with her, to make her a better skater.

Absolutely the best in the biz!!! Josh has the gift of being an exceptional instructor paired with an expert understanding of the body mechanics involved with all aspects of skateboarding. Josh will push you to improve your abilities through positive and motivational encouragement!

My 10 year old son has really enjoyed his skateboarding lessons with Ivan. Joshua, Ivan and team are wonderful teachers and make sure the kids are learning but are comfortable doing it at their own pace. In just a few weeks, my son has gained the confidence to be independent and looks forward to his sessions with Ivan. I would recommend these lessons for any beginner or intermediate skateboarder.

Josh has the gift of teaching. He is able to break it down to steps, explaining using good examples that anyone can get and has a ton of patience. Definitely recommended if you are new to skateboarding and also have seen his tips to those that have been skating fir years. Thanks josh.

Josh is a true professional, extremely patient and a natural teacher. My son has taken lessons from Josh and I can see him advancing and gaining confidence rapidly. Id recommend Josh to anyone!! A++

My girls have been taking lesson with Jake for a few months now and he is an awesome instructor. They have learnt and progressed so much on skateboarding, I cant be more proud. If you are looking for an instructor to teach your little ones how to skate, I would highly recommend Jake!

Josh and his team are fun driven, people/kid friendly and highly skillful who will focus and guide your little one to skateboard in notime. Their class is not like an ordinary gym or swimming class where they have a list of achievements and if they dont finish one they cant move forward with another one. Their class is very personalized which I really like.

Coach JB is the coolest! I remember he taught me how to do my first stylish 180 on my skateboard when I was a kid. Ill never forget that moment. Hes incredibly skilled and patient when dealing with his students and I couldnt recommend his lessons enough! Watch his tutorials online, but if you can, make sure to get the real deal in person! You wont regret it. Keep it up JB!

Josh was great! My 12 year old really enjoyed the lesson. Josh looks like he can take my son’s skating to the next level. Thank you!

Josh is a fantastic teacher. After just one lesson I was already progressing and had learned new tricks. I would highly recommend taking a lesson from Josh or anyone on his team.

Josh is a great teacher whos fun, and focused with your progression.If youre looking for fast improvement with your skateboarding (no matter what skill level), and your not afraid to push yourself, I can easily recommend Josh Balogh as an instructor.

Josh is the best skate instructor in the Bay Area! Great for kids and adults, he knows how to guide you so you get to a maximum of fun while avoiding painful mistakes. And a super nice guy to boot.

My son has been getting lessons for a few weeks now, he has improved immensely and is have a great time. I would highly recommend Proskatelessons.com.

Josh Balogh is an awesome instructor. My daughter has absolutely enjoyed the private lessons and summer camp. Josh keeps the classes fun! Whether you are beginner or need to refine your techniques, you should definitely call Josh!

Fun! Kids love skating with Josh and Jake！And they taught me some tricks also!

If you want to be a great skater take lessons from JB!

Jake nailed it by inspiring confidence and make it super fun!

Patient and friendly skate instructors that have taught my kids a lot.

Little did I know when I took my daughter to the Sunnyvale skate park that I would find her next coach.Josh has been awesome with my 10 year old daughter. She has been skating for just under a year and has had lessons from 4 other instructors. She also attended some skate camps. Sometimes the instructors were nice and quite friendly but they were not skilled in the art of teaching skateboarding. They all pale in comparison to the instruction she had received from Josh. I tend to hang nearby and listen to what he saying so that I can reinforce some of this stuff when we go back to the park near our home. I hear him break things down, explain things clearly and demonstrate it in an easy to digest style. He has the ability to be nurturing when necessary while pushing her to progress with every lesson.If you ask our daughter who her favorite skate instructor has been, she says without hesitation - Josh.I wish I would have found Josh a year ago. I know my daughters skating would have been so far more advanced. With every lesson I can see growth in my daughter as a skater and as a confident young lady. I love the look of pride and happiness on her face when she lands a new trick. It is priceless.

Josh is the special blend of an incredibly talented skateboarder and also a positive role model who is great with kids. My son loves private lessons with him and learned so much right from the start. Having a mentor to help him progress to the next level is really inspiring to my son and Josh was the perfect choice.

Josh is an amazing teacher. He is not only an amazing skateboarder but also knows exactly why things happen. When you make a mistake he can spot immediately what you did wrong and knows how to explain to you how to fix it. Besides having had a great lesson with him, Ive seen him teaching everyone from 5 years old to middle age and I can say confidently that he is the best.

Josh Balogh is hands down the best Skate Instructor I have witnessed. He stays engaged with the group or person, keeps them motivated and works on their weaknesses until they become strengths. He instills etiquette, proper form, and safety into every lesson. With that said, skating is not for everyone, but whether you want to learn how to skate, or step your game up for the 2020 Olympics, Josh is your man. He has been working with my son for a year now, and he is getting the most out of skateboarding he can. Pure fun. I am watching him develop style, creativity, and technique under Josh unmatched.

Josh is the best skateboarding coach I have met. I did not have a lot of confidence coming into the sport, but with Josh, I knew that I was safe during all training lessons. Under his coaching, I progressed quickly! He is professional, fun, and motivational. He believes in you before you believe in yourself, and can help you improve your skills drastically with even just a few lessons. I don’t think that there is another coach out there like him in the world of skateboarding yet. How he understands skateboarding is how every coach should understand their own sport. He is great with both kids and adults!Yes, I highly recommend that you contact Josh and book a lesson!

Both Josh and Jake are excellent coaches! My son (11 year old beginner) has had lessons with both Josh and Jake and has learned a lot in a very short time. I highly recommend private lessons with Josh or Jake for anyone at any age and at any level of experience!

My daughter really enjoyed her first lesson. Josh adjusted her board which made turning much easier for her. She is super excited about continuing on with Skateboarding.Josh also recommended new pads for safety. Basically he paid attention to the necessary details to make skateboarding as fun and safe as possible.

I had lessons with both Josh and Jake, and they are awesome! I never skateboarded before. In fact, I didnt have any board sports experiences before and my balance was terrible. Sessions with Josh and Jake are highly personalized with good balance of challenges and fun. I am still a beginner for now but Ive learned to practice and have fun skateboarding. Another side benefit is my balance improves a lot when trying other sports! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to add a little fun/balance to his/her life.

My son has been skating with Josh for only a few lessons and he has progressed more in that time that he would have in a year without him. Josh is great at finding out what you want to get better at and moving you in that direction. Josh is very patient and encouraging. Additionally, I have seen some other kids skating at the part who Josh has taught and they rip!

My daughter has been taking skateboarding classes with Josh and Jake for the past 2-3 months and she is loving every single bit! Josh and Jake and they are extremely professional and friendly in their approach to teaching a 5 year old. I would definitely recommend them for lessons if you looking for one.

Josh is just awesome. He is not only a super skater, but also the most amazing teacher, ever.Due to his unique teaching method, every time my son had a lesson, he made remarkable progress.He is patient, tolerant, and a reliable person.Thanks to Josh, my son could find something to love in this Bay Area.My son is really lucky to meet a person like him.I really appreciate him, and my son really likes Josh!!!So, yes. Highly recommended(but don’t take our slot. ; ).

Josh is great! I am 27 years old and I’ve never skateboarded before. But Josh is helping me a lot and I am making great, quick progress after his lessons. He is not only good at transmitting all his knowledge, but also he can quickly spot what I am doing wrong and fix it to improve my technique. I really enjoy skateboarding on his classes and I’d definitely recommend him for both kids AND ADULTS!

Josh has been teaching our son for a few months now. Josh is by far the best skateboarding teacher weve met! After the first lesson, our sons skills improved noticeably, and that has been the case after every lesson since. Josh has a natural ability to read a skaters confidence level and work with it, so the skater will grow and push themselves at a speed that feels comfortable for them. His wisdom about specific changes a skater can make to develop his/her skills is unparalleled. No other teacher noticed the minor movements that our son was making that inhibited his progress. I would recommend Josh to anyone who is committed to the sport and eager to take their skating to the next level!

Friendly teacher that can relate to kids and build their confidence. Hes been training kids in the area for over a decade. Ive watched kids including my own go from not knowing how to stand on a board to going in bowls, doing jumps, and racing around the park with new friends.

Josh is a great teacher for all ages and levels of skaters. In particular, he excels at inspiring students to go beyond what they think they can do by giving them encouragement and support. He is also very personable so that adults, other skateboarders at the park and kids who want to learn naturally seek him out.

Josh and his crew are true experts at the skateboarding craft, and really have a way with getting kids to learn skateboarding. Ive been taking my son to see Josh for three months straight and he always has a great time with Josh or a member of his team (shout out to Jake!). Josh makes learning fun and brings an encouraging approach, mixed with physics and mathematical concepts to aid in understanding how things work. Hes even given his old man a few pointers to step up his skateboarding game. I cant recommend Josh Balogh enough, hes a top notch coach and my kid looks forward to every weekend when he can skate with him.

My 12 year old son has been learning skateboarding from Josh at Fairoaks skatepark for a couple of months. He teaches him lots of tricks in a very safe manner. Soon after Josh started teaching, my son became very comfortable even in the deep bowls at the skatepark. I totally recommend going to him if you don’t want to keep falling and learning the hard way.

Josh and Jake have been coaching my son (8) for several months. He’s learning quickly and developing so much confidence. My husband and younger son are now taking lessons too. I guess that just leaves me ;)

It is pretty unbelievable how quickly kids progress under Josh and the level all the kids are able to achieve. My son has been taking lessons from Josh for over a year, and he has skyrocketed. Josh focuses on the fundamental building blocks and how that leads to all other skills. He has a positive and encouraging teaching style and builds relationship with each kid and their families. I am super excited when it comes to his monthly skate clinics that encourages community and natural progression that comes from skating in groups.

Josh rocks! He’s super great with kids. He took my 7 year old son who was totally scared and timid and got him to drop in the big bowl and love skateboarding! Now he dreams of “dropping in!l

It’s lit

Josh is a great teacher[*]!Ive been skateboarding for quite some time but Ive never seriously approached ramps and pools.Josh got me into the pools at Sunnyvales skatepark, and I cant be happier. Hes opening a whole new world of skateboarding to me.You can definitely see that Josh has a teaching method.I have seen other lessons or skateboard camps where all that happens is free skateboarding and teachers hold your hands where you dont feel comfortable doing something.With Josh, you learn correct positioning, correct movements, correct posture (weight, balance) as well as how to fall safely (which trust me, its a great confidence booster and probably the most important thing when you get started).All in all thumbs up.Book a lesson, its worth it regardless of your level.[*]: Josh is also really good at skateboarding, no kidding.

My son Keegan fell in love with skateboarding about 5 months ago. We met Josh at our local skatepark where we would see him teaching kids .My son has been taking lessons from him for a few weeks and the progress is amazing. Josh has the ability to give simple advice that can easily be digested . He then adds more concepts to build on.He also has a natural ability to connect with kids. My son is not very trusting so I was amazed to see how at ease he is with Josh .Through this trust he has gotten my son to really push himself and as a result my sons confidence has gone through the roof.In my sons words You should ask Josh to get lessons because you will have fun!!Honestly I cant recommend Josh enough, contact him, you will be glad you did!!
