I can't say enough about Jared, Sophie and Ki Fitness! I started working with Jared several months ago and he's been so instrumental in my journey back to a healthy and strong body. He's extremely knowledgeable, focused, passionate and supportive. One of the many things I appreciate about Jared and about Ki Fitness on the whole, is the well-rounded approach - everything from yoga, to strength training to martial arts - you can't find a place or person that offers more. I look forward to every session with Jared and I look forward to each workout I do on my own. They've created a very special place, I highly recommend Jared and Ki Fitness.

I have been at Ki Fitness & Health for over three years. When I started with Jared, I was on the waiting list for a hip replacement. With Jared's guidance we worked on strengthening my hip muscles and my over all alignment. I feel because of this, I was able to recover from surgery far faster than normal. The doctors and nurses were very impressed! I also enjoy his humour and his ability to push when needed. Overall, I am please with my level of fitness and strength and look forward to continuing with Jared. Thank-you, Jared.

Training with Jared has been a truly rewarding experience, and I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a Personal Trainer. Jared has a comprehensive understanding of both the body and the mind, and he has helped me improve my fitness regime and my daily nutrition.

Jared’s personal style as a trainer focuses a lot on education and technique, and I’ve learned a lot with him. And, unlike other trainers I’ve worked with in the past, Jared is really encouraging in helping me achieve my goals, both fitness and otherwise. You won’t be disappointed!

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Jared as a personal trainer. I trained with Jared for about 2 years and thoroughly enjoyed my time working with him, he is a truly valuable asset to absolutely any kind of fitness. He's honest, dependable, and incredibly hard-working, all with a sense of humor and his vigorous drive is inspirational. Beyond that, he is an impressive knowledgeable person who will give you results. His knowledge and philosophy of fitness was a huge advantage to me, he put his skill set to work to help me achieve my goals and it went beyond all expectations that l had. Along with his indescribable workouts and undeniable talent, Jared has always been an absolute joy to train with.
I would not hesitate to consult with Jared for any future projects and I am pleased to say that he would be an asset to anybody's fitness program.
NOTE* Moved to Halifax...if only there was a way to clone him!
Cheers Dawna

I never thought I'd higher a trainer and I never thought I'd enjoy it! Now I'm hooked. Jared has helped me with my posture, correcting old stubborn injuries, and in gaining strength and endurance. Jared has a very comprehensive understanding of how the body works and is attentive to making sure you create the best possible habits while working out. He is great at creating workout programs to fit the individuals needs. With the right amount of patients and push, Jared knows how to challenge me in a supportive way. I also really enjoy using the Ki fitness space as a rental. Its very clean, is nicely laid out and operates efficiently. I highly recommend Ki Fitness to anyone.

Working with Jared at Ki Fitness is life changing. He helped me overcome chronic back pain through gentle strength and mobility movements that worked with my body. In the process I've learned, and continue to learn so much about my bodies physiology and how it should actually be working! Things improved quickly for me as soon as I started training with Jared. He provided ongoing support and adjustments towards more advanced movements that not only brought me back to a pain-free baseline, but helped me surpass my previous strength levels, which helped improve my overall athletic performance and quality of life. Jared really knows his stuff, has a keen eye for mobility issues, and makes you feel comfortable while providing encouragement and pushing your limits for improvement while staying safe from injury. He's a trainer that not only walks his talk, but you can tell he's truly passionate about his work and stoked to help people improve. If you want to improve your fitness, mobility, flexibility, strength and confidence in your body, then working with Jared will be the best choice you can make in the Comox Valley. We're very lucky to have such a world class trainer here in our community.

Jared is an exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced coach and trainer whose personal attributes and incredibly well laid-out and equipped gym spaces ensure that I receive the maximum benefit from all my training time, both in and out of the gym. Jared has a unique combination of knowledge, insight and experience that have allowed us to successfully overcome a number of difficult training challenges. After 2 years of training with Jared, my training results and physical capacity have far exceeded what I had previously thought possible.

My last review was 5 years ago AND : still training two days a week.
That’s a total of ten years. That surely be enough to witness to the effectiveness of Jared’s training skîlls. For someone who used to find training a chore, after many years disliking the activities dislike has slowly morphed into Enjoyment of my twice weekly gym visits.
The gym is small not overwhelming , bright and always spotlessly clean.

Jared’s training is compassionate and attentive.
