Get to Know Jacob
Hi! I am Jacob. Exercise helped me overcome a rough period in my life so I went to college to get my degree in Exercise Science to be able to help others. I love all things strength training and being creative with exercises for my clients. In my spare time, I like to hike and play video games.
What made you become a personal trainer? I had taken a weightlifting class in high school and learned so much from it. It also helped me overcome a rough period in my life. I saw the physical and mental improvements that happened and it improved my quality of life so wanted to share its benefit with others.
What's your favorite exercise? My favorite exercise is the bench press, a simple exercise but an exercise where your mind and body must be in sync in order to successfully do it.
What's your least favorite exercise? Burpees, if I had to pick one.
What is your favorite part about being a personal trainer? I love seeing clients learning to love exercise. That it's not some scary, awful thing that they are forced to do to be healthy, but that it is something that they genuinely enjoy.
What are your personal training specialties? Older adults (and all things associated with this population, including balance and flexibility), cancer recovery, strength and conditioning and I am working towards pregnancy and postpartum
​
What is a fun fact about you? I can speak Spanish

"I spent the last few years working with Jacob to get stronger after dealing with Chronic pain for years. He was incredibly patient, always modifying exercises based off my needs, and very knowledgeable on different ways to strengthen each muscle group. Before finding Vitality I was so discouraged but within 3-6 months I felt stronger and a lot of my pain started to go away. I’m so grateful to have found Vitality."
