Diesel Athletic Academy 
Discipline Through Kindness,
Strength Through CommUnity

At Diesel Athletic Academy, we believe that fitness, wellness, and empowerment are interconnected.

We’re more than a gym—we’re a CommUnity. Our programs are designed to help every individual thrive: from wrestlers chasing championships, to adults building strength and resilience, to families exploring yoga for balance, and to athletes of all abilities, including those with special needs.

Alongside training, we give back through the Sentinel Athletic League, a non-profit dedicated to empowering veterans and youth through athletics and mentorship.

Led by Coach Gerard Perez, Coach Angelina Dawson, Coach Jilian, and Coach Nicolas Cabrera, our wrestling program builds discipline, confidence, and competitive excellence. With classes for youth, girls-only, co-ed, and private sessions, wrestlers of all levels find their place on the mat.

Yoga, Massage & Wellness

Led by Coach Claire Heudes-Cabrera, our wellness program is focused on private sessions and special events designed to restore balance and support recovery. Claire uses Yoga as a form of physical therapy to relieve tension, reset the parasympathetic system, and help the body heal from injury. These highly personalized sessions integrate yoga, massage, and mindful movement to promote well-being. In addition, Claire teaches two weekly yoga classes at Hush Studio in Milltown, NJ, where community members can also experience her approach to restorative practice.

At Diesel, we believe performance, recovery, and overall well-being start with proper nutrition.

 

Our guidance is rooted in research-based practices, not fad diets. Whether for wrestlers managing weight or individuals seeking better health, we emphasize eating real, wholesome ingredientsfueling the body instead of depriving it.

 

Our goal is to help every athlete and community member find balance, strength, and confidence through sustainable nutrition choices.
