Working with Jake has been a game-changer! After struggling with a low back and hip injury, I wasn’t able to run like I used to and move like I used to. But Jake’s thoughtful approach made a difference in getting me back to my normal routine. He created a personalized plan that prioritized recovery while steadily and safely building my strength. He helped me build proper form and gave me confidence to go to the gym and do the workouts myself. Every session felt super purposeful, and I’ve seen real improvements in my strength and even aesthetic results. Now, I’m stronger, pain-free, and more self-assured in the gym than I’ve ever been. And I’m back to my true love: running. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares and has the knowledge and expertise it takes to make moves in your health, Jake is your guy.

I’ve been working with Jake from Florida Strong Fitness for about a year now, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Jake is a fantastic trainer—he’s easy to work with, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly invested in his clients’ progress.

I’ve never been much of a gym person, more into cardio and yoga, but after losing some weight, I realized I needed to build muscle. Jake made that transition seamless. From the very first consultation, he’s been attentive, supportive, and mindful. He remembers the little details, like any issues or pain points you mention, and always tailors workouts to suit your needs and preferences.

One of the standout aspects of Jake’s training is how holistic his approach is. He doesn’t just focus on workouts—he’s also on top of nutrition, which is included in his program. If you use tools like MyFitnessPal or other trackers, he helps you stay accountable and offers great recommendations to keep you on track.

Thanks to Jake, I’ve gained significant muscle mass and am in the best shape I’ve been in years. The progress is consistent, and I feel stronger and more confident every week. I’m so glad I found Jake and highly recommend him to anyone looking to take their fitness journey to the next level!

Doing the nutrition accountability calls with Jake is absolutely necessary. He will help you learn to measure macros and stay on track with your food intake. Be honest with yourself and your coach about your food intake and exercise regimen. Your health goals are attainable, take baby steps and be consistent. Best of luck!
