CLIENTS ON JAKE
"Programming is always specific to your ability. Programs always arrived on time. Not only did I build my strength but his guidance also gave me confidence in every day tasks. His approach is simple, clear and effective."
— Mauricio Reyes
"Jake helped me take my strongman training to the next level and corrected some bad forms I had. I've enjoyed getting to progress in the sport with Jake's help."
— Tobius Jameson
"He didn't just hand me a generic program, he identifies your specific weak points and builds training that actually addresses them. That attention to detail made a real difference in hitting my goals on meet day."
— Jordan E.
"I was hesitant at first because I went to school to be a personal trainer and figured I could just do it myself. I decided to work with Jake because he has a lot of experience I did not have. He has been everything I could have hoped for in a coach and mentor, and now I consider him a big brother. Forever grateful for Jake and the whole Brits Brothers family."
— Mike Thompson
