When I first started working with Jake, I really didn’t have a clue what I was doing. I’ve been working with Jake for a year and a half now. He’s taken me from competition for fun to a serious competitor. He’s easy to talk to and always answers questions in a way that you can understand. He always makes time for you, like you’re his only client, and actually listens to and addresses your questions and concerns.

Training with Jake has been an amazing experience. While training with Jake I have
done several powerlifting meets setting state, national and world records. He has
always made me feel that my goals are as important to him as they are to me. Jake is
very knowledgeable and has always taken the time to explain things to me in a way that
I can understand. He really loves what he does and it shows in every training session.
Because of his training, I feel stronger and more confident in my abilities than ever.
Jake is by far the best trainer around. If you aren’t training with him, you should be.

Coach Jake has given me so much and more! I reached out to Jake right after I had back surgery at the age of 30. I have scoliosis and had a burst disc that needed repair. Prior to receiving coaching from Jake, I had to stop all of my sports, weightlifting, even running. I was absolutely crushed. I lost most of my muscle and a lot of my joy. I am not one to just sit out on life and Jake knows that about me. He wanted to not only get me out of pain but absolutely thrive in my sports and life! I am
so overjoyed and thankful to Jake because today, back to weightlifting, running, skateboarding, trying new sports and pain FREE! He gave me my life back! Being that I have scoliosis, he programmed specific workouts just for me to specifically strengthen my body to best support my back and get me into great shape! He also made me this promise to get me to a place where I wouldn’t need epidurals for my back pain anymore and within 4 months of training with him, he kept that promise. I have not had an epidural in 2 years! I’m faster, stronger and happier than I’ve ever been! Thank you, Coach Jake!
