About Your Personal Trainer

Hi! I’m Jason.

I’m a certified athletic trainer and veteran of the United States Marine Corps with a bachelor’s degree in athletic training. I’ve had a passion for how the body moves for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by healthcare professionals who, from a very early stage in my life, instilled in me an emphasis on a holistic approach to my well-being. As a kid who just wouldn’t sit still, my energy was well spent playing all kinds of sports: basketball, soccer, baseball, lacrosse, football. You name it, I played it. Following high school, however, my love of body movement deepened when I spent five years in the military learning about different strength and conditioning programs and how accountability could be a helpful tool in reaching some of my goals.

My journey didn’t stop there.

I spent the next ten years exploring free weight and machine exercises; taking music-incorporated classes like Zumba, mind/body-focused classes like Yoga, core-focused classes like Pilates, and full-body HIIT classes like P90X and Les Miles Body Pump; and learning about different approaches to activating muscle groups. My love of sports, exercise, and body movement has been the throughline of my life, whether I’m out walking my dog, working with athletes on the court or field, or watching my sisters roller derby!

Let’s work together!

At Next Level Health & Fitness, I wholeheartedly embrace the principles of health, wellness, and fitness, as they extend far beyond mere buzzwords. My commitment is to your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It transcends the limited focus on weight loss, conforming to a certain image, rigid dietary norms, or pursuing "no pain, no gain" fitness. Instead, it's about nurturing the very best version of yourself, nurturing a deeper understanding of your body's mechanics and its incredible abilities.

Every individual embarks on a unique journey, marked by personal highs and lows. My aim is to guide you towards recognizing your own progress, not the pursuit of an unattainable ideal of perfection. Success, in your terms, becomes the true measure. My role is to support you every step of the way, from the first stride you take on this transformative path. I’m here to accompany you, ensuring that your journey is as extraordinary as you are!
