I first met Jeff after reading the positive reviews online and decided to try training with him. Im glad I did. Its been almost 5 months now and I continue to enjoy our training sessions. Jeff is really positive and encouraging, and also accommodating. He listens and adapts his coaching to what you need. I came in as a beginner and immediately felt comfortable with Jeff. What I like most is that Jeff is passionate about fitness and is really knowledgeable in his field. This was important to me because I wanted to learn proper body mechanics and develop confidence and strong fundamentals when working out. With Jeff, I definitely feel that Im in good hands. He is also great at following up before and after workouts, so it keeps me motivated and engaged. Overall, I definitely recommend him!

A skilled trainer can help you with form, with objectives, with plans... But a partner works alongside you with the same physical and emotional investment youre making. Jeff is a shining example of both a trainer and a partner.Jeff has a remarkable mastery of body mechanics, and the experience to adapt that understanding to your needs. From young athletes who are developing into their prime, to those in peak shape but looking for accountability, to those in later years or working around injuries, Jeff is tireless in his commitment to his clients. He invests himself in your success the same way you do, and you WILL see steady, and long-lasting results with him as your trainer partner.Youve found who you are looking for, no matter where you are in your fitness journey. He is a consummate professional who isnt doing this as a side job, rather he is fully invested and always expanding his own personal education, updating his video training platform, and always makes himself accessible. When youre in the gym with him 1 on 1 or in group classes, he pushes you just to the point of discomfort you need, and not beyond. When youre away, if you think hes forgotten you, your phone will popup with a check-in text, and a training session specifically designed for you. I trust Jeff as a highly skilled partner whom I know will keep me right on track.

This review is long overdue. Jeff is a dedicated, knowledgeable, and charismatic trainer. If you’re looking to kickstart your fitness journey in 2024 or perfect your routine, I highly recommend Jeff as a personal trainer. I have lost around 24 pounds, feel and look better, and have never been more focused on my health.I began working with Jeff on my fitness journey in October 2022. I did one-on-one training for the first 12 months and then transitioned to his group classes.Highlights:Workouts: Jeff incorporates warm-ups, speed and power exercises, cardio, and lifting. No session is the same, and you have the opportunity to learn new exercises or achieve a new PR on a deadlift.Personalization: Jeff personalizes your workout plan to meet your nutrition, fitness, and weight loss goals. As someone with health limitations, this was crucial for me. Due to my health and COVID, I stopped working out consistently and had gained nearly 30 pounds. Jeff’s knowledge of rehab and his emphasis on proper form and technique helped me establish a routine and learn barbell lifts I never thought I could do.Game Planning: It seems simple, but Jeff goes over your goals and progress at the start of every month. This is a helpful reset when you find yourself off track with your routine. It is also an opportunity to reflect and set new goals for the month.Schedule: For my one-on-one sessions, Jeff accommodated my work schedule and understood when I needed to cancel or reschedule a session. Now that he has a mobile app, scheduling his group sessions, which are in the morning and evening, is super easy.Mobile App: This has been a great tool! It has tons of workout videos, recipes that Jeff has tried himself, and the group class scheduler, which has worked out great for me.Community: Engaging in group sessions is a wonderful way to connect with others. Its been great to meet new people and see their progress.

I first met Jeff when I was on Dialysis (7 years in at the time) in 2020. He would come to my home and help me with my strength. Unfortunately, my body could not keep up. I received a kidney transplant on 7/2021, and in 10/2022 I was given the okay to start my workout adventure. Jeff followed every guidelines given to me by my doctors that a year later, 10/2023, he got me in the best fitness shape in over 10 years and Im still improving.

Jeff is a training dream come true! He is so knowledgeable about the human body and knows what is necessary to reach your goals. I initially worked with him in a sports-specific capacity and he was able to tailor my workouts so I could transfer what we did in the gym to moving well in my sport. This Spring I came to him wanting to increase fat loss for my July wedding. He built an amazing plan for me that quickly (and safely) got me to where I needed to be by my wedding date! It was a transformation that made me feel so confident walking down the aisle. He pushed me when I needed it and always helped me recognize the bigger picture when I wanted to let off the gas. I cannot thank you enough Jeff for your help and truly feel like you are the best trainer in the IE!

I was introduced to Jeffs zoom workouts about 2 months ago, and Ive been hooked ever since! I have always been one to love going to the gym, but these workouts are next level and I have seen an immense amount of progress in my strength and endurance over the last 2 months since working with him. He is extremely knowledgeable and always has modifications for you if needed. When you are working with Jeff, you know he is passionate about what he does, and truly cares about each and every one of his clients. If you are looking for an extremely personable trainer who is going to push you to get to your goals without feeling intimidated, then Jeff is your man!

What can I say about Jeff... simply put, HE IS AWESOME!!! Ive trained with Jeff for 2 years now. He has not only helped me lose 40+lbs, but more importantly I feel better, healthier and more confident than ever. Jeff is the type of trainer that really takes pride in his work. He is motivating, encouraging and friendly. He really makes the effort to go the extra mile, answering all my never-ending questions about fitness and nutrition. He would even follow-up with me when we were not training to make sure I was still on track! If youre looking for a personal trainer who will not only get you results, but make you feel hes personally vested in your success... Jeffs your man!!!

Jeff has been my personal trainer since 2011 when I met him at 24 hours fitness. We grew a strong bond as trainer and client, so when he started his own business, I followed. Now 7 years later, he is still my trainer! Jeff has succeeded in many areas of his career whether be fitness or body competition training. He has trained a wide variety of clients as well from athletes to beginners. I trust Jeffs knowledge and understanding of the human body and fitness programs he personalizes for myself and others. Ive gone through strength training and weightless all through Jeff! I recommend him 100% for any of your needs!! Keep it going bro!

Jeff is phenomenal at what he does. He tailors everything to his clients needs and abilities while still giving a challenge. Hes extremely knowledgeable on various types of exercises, nutrition, and movement patterns. He continues to improve his knowledge in this field so that his clients have the best experiences and results. He focuses on proper movement before progressing to more challenging movements or exercises. Jeff is one of the most knowledgeable professionals in this field, and I plan to recommend him to every person that I know who is looking to make a health or fitness change in their life. I highly recommend Jeff because of his knowledge, application, and compassion for his clients. He truly is amazing and worth it!

Best in the business. Jeff is extremely detail oriented and truly cares for his clients. No matter how many times you break your diet he will stick with you, adjust your plan and keep faith! All jokes aside, he really works with you through any situation and has a long term approach but with meticulous attention to detail in the short term with the nutrition and workout planning. Most importantly, he understands the lifestyle aspect of everything and doesn’t neglect the fact that people have lives and that progress doesn’t come over night.

Jeff is one of the most patient and knowledgeable trainers that I have met. His passion for what he does is evident & his energy level never waivers no matter how many other athletes he has helped before you. When he is working with you, his focus is on YOU. He enjoys the uniqueness of each person he works with & without a doubt incorporates the mind/body/spirit elements to assist you in reaching any goal that you have.With his background in athletic training, Jeff can not only help you reach your fitness goals but keep you healthy while doing so. Health is wealth, & Jeff will be sure to get you right!!

I had the pleasure to watch Jeff work with clients and I can tell you from the start is not like any personal trainer. He has a very qualified background in terms of his education and experience. Jeff does an amazing job applying that day in and day out of his workday not only is he very qualified as a trainer with his knowledge but he makes the personal training setting As comfortable as possible. Not many trainers understand the importance of explaining muscle movements and their functions. The whole training program that he applies for each client is 100% individualized for your wants and needs. Jeff not only focuses on fitness but in the nutrition aspect as well. Jeff is an amazing trainer and if you are looking to get in the best shape of your life I honestly recommend Jeff 100%!

I have worked with several trainers before. Jeff by far has been my favorite. He is very knowledgeable and breaks down each exercise in a way I understand it and can successfully complete it. He truly cares about his clients and he has a great sense of humor. If you are looking for someone to challenge you look no further. Jeff is your guy!

Jeff is a fantastic trainer who individualizes plans for his clients. Rather than taking a cookie cutter approach, Jeff makes well designed plans that meet the specific goals/needs of his clients. His vast knowledge in all modes of exercises (powerlifting, Olympic lifting, interval training, plyometrics, etc) also ensures that his clients are always on their toes! Jeff also focuses on quality of movements during his training sessions. Emphasizing the importance of moving properly helps prevent his clients from getting hurt. In addition to his personal training, Jeff is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition. Having someone to advise you on proper nutrition allows you to take your fitness to the next level. I can say, without a doubt, that Jeff is one of the best personal trainers I have ever met. If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares about your success and health, and will constantly push you to be the best version of yourself, I cannot recommend Grizzly Baird Fitness highly enough. Schedule an appointment with him, I promise you will not regret it.

Highly recommend Jeff Baird, Personal Trainer! I started training with Jeff a little over a month ago, and I am so glad that I did! Prior to training with Jeff, I was familiar with weight training, but I lacked proper form and fundamental knowledge about the mechanics of weight-lifting. This typically left me with injuries and little/no progression in the gym, which in turn led to be to become discouraged/unmotivated from lack of progress. I knew I needed guidance in order to make a significant change in my life. When I began training with Jeff, I quickly realized my form was way off. Jeff taught me the importance of building a strong foundation in order to lift heavier and properly train the correct muscle groups. Working with Jeff I have already seen a huge improvement in my training.Jeff set up a individualize plan for me based on my fitness goals, and we worked to achieve those goals/adjusted them as needed. Having weekly/monthly goals truly helped hold me accountable and keep track of my progress in the gym. Having someone with the knowledge to put together a fitness plan/nutritional plan based on your individual goals is a an investment for your personal well being that will last a life time.So thankful to have found Jeff. He is a genuine down to earth coach who truly cares about his clients and wants them to be successful in their fitness journeys. He is super dedicated and passionate about fitness and he has the knowledge and skills to help YOU be the best version of yourself. DONT hesitate to give him a chance! YOU wont regret it! Thanks again Jeff!

I’ve known Jeff for about 8 years now and watching his fitness journey is truly inspiring!! He’s very knowledgeable and cares so much about each and every one of his clients and is truly there for them in any aspect that he can help. He takes PERSONAL fitness to a different level, with his dedication and love for helping others. At one of the hardest times of my life when my boyfriend got into an accident and had to go to rehab to learn every day mobility again, Jeff was there multiple times a day helping. He’s seriously one hell of a trainer anyone would be lucky to have!

I recently moved to Chino and hadn’t been properly training and eating right for awhile. I knew I needed to get back on track. I was in need of a trainer who would not only train me but keep me motivated and accountable.I looked through all of the yelp reviews and met with a few different trainers. However, after meeting with Jeff I knew he was the right trainer for me. Jeff has not only been a trainer for over 10 years he knows how your body works, what to do when you are recovering from an injury and how to still workout while staying safe. I have worked with about 4 different trainers over the last 15 years and Jeff has by far been my favorite. He works me out hard enough to see results, physically and mentally. I find myself stronger and more motivated as the weeks go by.He also had amazing zoom workouts that are live everyday...and they are tough! In the best way possible. You end the zoom workouts, sweaty and feeling accomplished.One more thing you should know....he has to be psychic or something....he always texts me “How’s your nutrition?” right when I am about to eat a cupcake or drive-thru Jack in the Box! Lol, he always knows when I’m about to cheat and I stop myself!Overall, Jeff is an amazing trainer and an all around good guy, he is worth every penny!

I started training with Jeff six months ago after gaining about 15 lbs during quarantine. I was at the heaviest I had ever been, the gyms were closed and I needed help! Jeff gave me the accountability and structure I was lacking by putting me on a nutrition plan and a workout regimen. I always felt supported and cared about every step of the way. And along the way, my confidence came back as well.Not only did I lose my quarantine weight these past six months but I also feel I gained a friend. I highly recommend Jeff if youre trying to reach new health goals. Youll also have fun in the process!

Known Jeff for almost a year now and I continue to learn from him and get stronger. He has so much knowledge not just about how to get you stronger but how to get you to feel better all around. He is always willing to do whatever it takes to get his clients to achieve their goals and I have felt it first hand. I highly recommend him whether you are just a beginner or you have been lifting your whole life! Jeff can help teach you no matter where your skill level is at!

Ive had my fair share of different trainers, gyms, bootcamps, and I have been on both ends of the fitness spectrum, and can honestly say Jeff really knows his sh*t. Most trainers are doing their best to get you exhausted where you feel like wow, they are really good, but Jeff is different, he has a process and you can tell how knowledgable he is! I feel like I am making progress little by little, which isnt what everyone always wants, some want overnight results, but I definitely feel I am making concrete change, there isnt something Im going to fall off of.

Working with Jeff has been such a great experience! He has advanced training to work on the fundamentals for anyone getting into strength and conditioning as well as helping people get to the next level in their performance goals. He also has certification for hands on work for anyone dealing with injuries and needing additional rehab. Give Jeff a call because he will help you change your life in a positive way!

I can’t say enough about how amazing Jeff is! His training program and nutrition plans are perfect for achieving the goals you set.

I have been training with Jeff for about 3 months now and it has been great! Aside from always having a great workout planned, he created a personalized nutrition plan for me and always checks up on me to ensure I am following it. I especially appreciate the accountability part of our partnership and how educated he is about exercise science and nutrition. He uses a science based approach for each movement and modification and I fully trust his advice and the process to my dream body!

Ive been working with Jeff for about 3 months now. I was already a relatively active person but I needed someone to push me to the next level. I was looking to start lifting more seriously to get stronger and build muscle. I knew that I needed someone knowledgeable and someone I could trust to keep me from getting injured. Jeff is exactly that and so much more. The amount of care, attention to detail, and information he brings to the table has helped me gain confidence in executing exercises correctly/ safely to get the maximum benefit from them. He has a way of making the most intimidating looking exercises very accessible. I’m doing things (like cleans and jerks) I never thought I’d do. When I first came to Jeff I was concerned about some low back pain and a click in my hip that would happen during and after certain exercises. He helped me correct that within the first week!!! Mind blowing & life changing. You wont find this kind of quality training with credentials to match anywhere else. Oh I managed to lose weigh AND gain some muscle under his watch!

Jeff is THE best trainer around. So professional and well educated. I struggle with an injury from the past and have always needed very specific and attentive training.

Jeff is an inspiration and great person first and foremost. But secondly his vast knowledge, and the drive that he dedicates to his clients and to his work is phenomenal.I was in a motorcycle accident in 2016, after about a month in a coma, I had to learn how to walk again. During my rehabilitation Jeff helped me through one of the toughest times of my life. He really pushed me past my point of wanting to break. But with that Jeff helped me improve my walking and my balance.But most of all, didn’t give up on me when I needed that extra push to complete the routine and training. He genuinely wanted to see me improve, grow, and get stronger, literally every step of the way!Thank you Jeff for your amazing work, and never giving up on me!

Jeff is a masterful trainer who has great people skills. The best teachers never stop learning and Jeff is a dedicated student of his craft. Jeff helped me achieve my goal of adding strength and upper body mass by helping me understand my protein, fat, and carbohydrate ratios and teaching me proper form during my strength training movements. The insight and commentary he shared about why I was doing each moment proved insightful and helped me out understand how I could be the techniques to self train when our personal training sessions concluded. If youre looking for a trainer I highly recommend using Grizzly Baird Fit. You pay more for professionals but its worth it.

There isn’t enough words to describe this genuine one of a kind guy! Jeff is highly educated, personable, patient, and a humble personal trainer. Even through online coaching he is easily reachable and there when you need him. Jeff’s clients are his top priority & I have enjoyed working with Jeff over the years.

I was introduced to Jeffs virtual group training sessions a few month ago and have thoroughly enjoyed them. With my normal gym closed indefinitely, Jeffs training has been the best way Ive found so far to work out productively in my own home. Would highly recommend his help in reaching your fitness/nutrition goals.

I was introduced to Jeff through Azusa Pacific University as a guest speaker to teach one of my classes. I was astonished by his intelligence and ability to communicate his knowledge. He is now my preceptor and I learn from him every day as he is constantly asking me questions to test my knowledge and help me grow as a student. He displays amazing work ethic and ability to work with clients. I have seen first hand the transformation of the clients he works with, as he is pushing them to be their best while preventing any injuries through proper lifting form and techniques. Such a great person to work with and learn from!

Jeff is an amazing trainer! Hes dedicated, knowledgable and very passionate. Ive been with Jeff for about 6 months and Ive noticed improvements in my body and mind. I dont look at food or working out the same way anymore! I love being introduced to macro dieting and Jeff is a pro at it. Jeff listens and understands my limitation with an injured wrist and plans our sessions around that. Ive been getting stronger and my wrist doesnt feel like a limitation. Hes very considerate of that and I really appreciate it. I was a bit weary about working out with weights for fear of injuring myself, but Jeff is all about proper form, he talks you thru every step of the way. I highly recommend Jeff as a trainer! I am thankful that my friend introduced me to him. I look forward to continuing this path of change and an overall lifestyle change. Thanks Jeff!

If you’re looking for someone extremely knowledgeable with an outstanding educational background, Jeff is your man! He is always so helpful, understanding and down to earth. Jeff is so good at what he does and is so passionate! I’ve seen so many people including myself go through amazing physical transformations thanks to Jeff’s hard work and encouragement. It takes a lot to be great at what he does, but the fact that he is so caring and personable really does make the exeperience so much more inspiring!

There isnt much I can say about Jeff that his clients dont already know. He is very professional and knowledgeable about fitness whether it be powerlifting or weightlifting, he knows how to get you into optimal position to not only do the movement correctly but also reduce the chance of you getting hurt.Fitness is a gradual path that starts with consistency and proper form. So although some of the beginner stuff seems tedious it will most definitely show when you are lifting very heavy weights. And through his extensions school Jeff has the knowledge to guide you on whatever fitness pasty tou may have.

I have been training with Grizzly Baird Fitness for about 7 years now and his programs are hands down the best in the business. His work ethic and dedication to his clients speaks volumes to the kind of person he is. If you are looking to achieve your fitness goals with the help and support from a very qualified personal trainer, I highly recommend getting in contact with Jeff. His programs have helped me in my minor league baseball career and the current career I am in now. Thank you Jeff for what you have done for me!!!

I started seeing Jeff six months ago (roughly June 2017). Everything hurt, I hated the gym and I was consumed with self doubt and I was one bad day away from never working out again. From the moment I was a client, Jeff wasnt trying to push any other agenda then doing what was best for me in the moment. Together we strategized on how best to make myself successful in the gym and also in life. We started slow and over the course of this year I have found a new joy for Fitness and a new confidence in myself. I believe in myself again and I would be remiss to say that Jeff and his training program didnt have anything to do with that. Jeff is a great and compassionate trainer, but what hes even better at is a coach a source of inspiration. 15lbs lighter and pain free I am excited to continue to build a healthier me.

I came in looking for some help with my hips. I have a lot of flexibility and mobility issues that limit my range of motion in a wide range of exercises. Squatting, ab crunches, dead lifts, sitting at work, and even tying my shoe cause discomfort and a=sometimes pain. Jeff was great! He was able to stretch me out, identify the different issues contributing to the condition of my hips, and set me up with a game plan and how we are going to attack each one. He is a great guy and easy to talk to so it makes the experience that much more comfortable. I look forward to working with Jeff and getting my hips into better shape! Thanks Jeff! You are the man!-Cody Bills

I love this place, Jeff is awesome! He truly cares about helping you and reaching your goals. I love working out and he gives the best workouts, I love the variety of different techniques and workouts he knows. My program was based on learning how to properly power lift and following my macros. I would definitely recommend him and his place to anyone who is seeking a great personal trainer and getting results.

I never really write any reviews but I think this business deserves it. I just wanna say Jeff is truly such a kind hearted soul that truly cares about people and their health. He will answer all your questions from working out to eating habits, and I assure you, you won’t regret coming here. Besides being a great trainer, he makes sure you’re reaching your full potential in every single aspect of your life. Keep up the good work Jeff.

You do not just gain strength, a healthy lifestyle, being physically in shape but Jeff makes everything so personal. With every training session you gain confidence, friendship, goals and appreciation for yourself and all the hard work. I couldnt ask for a better trainer at Grizzly Baird fitness and i will continue training and recommend any person to train with Jeff!!

Jeff is a one of a kind trainer who cares deeply about each individual client, his programs are tailored to each individuals need and abilities and makes sure you are reaching your goals safely. What sets him apart from other trainers is his knowledge base he KNOWS what hes talking about, but will always discuss the why, he never talks down to anyone and can motivate like no other.I may not be the typical trainer that most PTs take on, but thats why I think hes so great, Im well into my fitness journey and yet hes still someone I can bounce ideas off of and work with, great at finding and developing plans aimed at fixing disfunction; Im honored to have found this man and seen what his business is made of.

Jeff and I have been acquainted for a few years and I am consistently impressed with his work ethic, ever growing knowledge and his desire to help his clients succeed (even being an impromptu babysitter so his client didn’t miss a workout)! When you’re ready to take your fitness to the next level, Jeff is your guy.

I began working with Jeff in January 2019 when I was about 270 pounds, unhealthy, and unhappy with myself. I gained a lot of weight over the six months prior and I needed big change. I picked Jeff initially because he had three sessions for $20, and I thought I would at least give it a try. It has been the best decision I made for my health! Jeff took my measurements, gave me a plan, and kicked my butt for the past 5 months since. I’ve lost nearly 40 pounds, become more toned, and feel so healthy! Jeff’s custom plans allowed me to eat what I normally would, and work out in a more focused way. I’ve made habits out of health, and that has been the best thing for me! This isn’t a fad program, it’s the real deal.

I was visiting SoCal for a month and was looking for a trainer that would help me learn weight lifting-exercises and proper technique. Following Jeff on Instagram, his post always consisted of him teaching his Clients and Follows the proper mechanics of specific weight-lifting exercises as well as teaching them the reasons why they should consider his advice. I considered myself an amateur when it came to lifting weights and explaining/acknowledging proper technique. Therefore, seeing his IG post daily caught my attention before my visit to SoCal.Upon meeting with Jeff 3-4 times a week/50 minutes sessions, the number one thing that I took away were his verbal cues for each exercise that he taught. Everyday his verbal cues would be the golden-nugget for me to obtain and perform the exercises properly and at my greatest strengths. For each one of my exercises he logged down my reps/weight, cues, and feedback for me to take note of and to practice. Reviewing his feedback was key towards progressing in our next session.Since leaving SoCal, training with Jeff as my Personal Trainer for one-month has been the it factor for me to continue to practice weight-lifting here in my hometown. Similar to what I mentioned earlier, his verbal cues have been so important for me at the gym. Reviewing them before my workouts is like having Jeff right beside me for each exercise. Im proud to say and share with my friends that Jeff was my Personal Trainer (Jeff). I highly recommend Jeff because of his passion to help me reach my fitness goal in very little time.

Jeff Baird is extremely professional in what he does and puts his clients first. He pays close attention to how my body reacts to our strength and conditioning sessions and adjusts plans, nutrition, workouts as we progress for optimum results. I have a nagging case of shoulder impingement and a previous L4-5 herniation which we are currently working through. He takes a step by step approach to finding the root cause of my pain and devising a unique and personalized program to fit my needs. We’ve made significant improvements in my mobility, range of motion, and pain management in the 1 and a half months together. I am now able to perform overhead activities with minimal discomfort. Looking forwards to being able to lift heavy again under the guidance of Jeff. Definitely would recommend to anyone who is looking for results.

Jeff Baird, is hands down one of the most important people to have ever come into my life. March of 2011 on my 21st birthday I weighed in at 303 lbs, was unhealthy and unhappy and didnt see myself as the person I deserved to be. I finally decided to make a choice to better myself and Jeff was there to help. He might be my personal trainer, but has also been my best friend as far back as I can remember. Over the course of the last few years. Ive dropped 105 pounds in total. Im stronger and faster than Ive ever been and feel great about my life. Jeff is motivational, inspirational, knowledgeable, but hes patient. Coming from where The person I was, having had someone whos patient means the world. Overcoming personal mental hurdles and knowing I have someone behind me who will push me past what I thought possible is very reassuring. Grizzly Baird Fitness is a noble and compassionate business venture and I encourage anyone and everyone to give him a call and start living your life in the best way that you can today. Trust the process, patience and you will see and live the difference.

Ive been working with Jeff Baird for about a month. This is my first time working with the trainer and I didnt really know what to expect. Its been amazing! Not only has he expanded my knowledge base a thousandfold every session, but he also manages my nutrition plan, which isnt easy as Im vegan.He always has a smile on his face and his coaching style is encouraging but firm. He doesnt let you get away with much. All in all I have enjoyed the experience and I would highly recommend him to other people who are looking to approach the re-formation of their physique and get educated on the science behind the mechanics of the body.

I have know Jeff since high school and can tell you that there are only a few people out there that has this much passion for health and fitness. His knowledge on anatomy and therapy is impressive, but what’s more impressive is how he applies it to functional movement. I sprained my AC joint a few years ago and have been dealing with pain since. Jeff has worked on getting my T spine to move again and has been working on proper movement with my left scapula. Everything on my left side was so locked up and I had no idea. You would think the doctors and chiropractors I’ve seen in the past would be able to assess this, but I guess not. Jeff figured this out in a 30 minute consultation. On top of that, I’ve dealt with chronic inflammation in my left lower back and was told by the doctor that it would never go away. It’s been 4 or 5 years with back pain off and on. Jeff spent 10 minutes assessing my SI Joints in my hips and decided to measure my legs. Come to find out that my right leg is a full centimeter longer than my left! I would imagine that is a huge contributing factor to my pain and inflammation. So now we are working on that problem and I’m hopeful that I can finally manage the pain on my left side. The point I’m trying to make is that I am beyond impressed with Jeff’s ability to assess a problem and apply therapy and movement techniques to find a long term cure for pain. It’s hard to find clinicians with this level of care and passion! If you’ve been dealing with long term pain or just wanna learn how to move properly and get a good workout, stop thinking about it and go see him!! Your health is worth every penny you invest into it.

Jeff is a wonderful trainer. Not only does he care about you and your results, he wants to educate you and make sure you’re given the proper tools for success. He goes beyond just teaching you how to exercise. He breaks things down for you, so when you do lift you know exactly what you are doing. Because of that, risk of injury is lowered and quicker results can be achieved. But if you happen to get injured he’s also capable of helping you recover. Seriously can’t go wrong with this guy. He’s passionate about what he does and you can tell he has an amazing heart.

Jeff really knows his stuff. I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing any type of pain or discomfort. I was feeling a lot of pain in my knee at the lock out of squats to the point where it was unbearable to squat. In just 1 quick session he was able to identify the problem and give me ways to fix it. Today I was able to squat with no pain lol

I just want you point out the fact that not only am I being provided workouts and nutrition but education as well. Being able to understand what Im doing and why makes a huge difference in training. Jefferey breaks it down so I can understand from a clients perspective. My body, my mind, my whole self has changed in ways I would never imagine. If youre interested in a lifestyle change this is where you need to be!

3.5 weeks in! I am SOO GRATEFUL that I’m starting to feel the difference in my shoulders and arms- I’ve had this thoracic issue for about two years now and seeing the progress (actually going through a workout without going numb) has been incredible! I’m so surprised at how fast it’s going. I decided to level up to 3x week instead of 2x to hold me accountable to my goals. Let’s do this 💪
