Start where you are. See what can change.
Patty did not need an extreme reset. She needed a plan she could live with and a coach who knew when to push and when to listen.
Pick the support that fits your life.
Some people want every rep watched. Others need a plan they can follow from anywhere. Start with the format that makes showing up easier.
Private training
You want someone paying attention to the details.
One-on-one sessions give Jacob room to watch every rep, make adjustments in real time, and keep the plan moving at the right pace for you.
Talk through your optionsSemi-private training
You want personal coaching with a little more energy in the room.
Train alongside one or two other clients while still following your own program. You get close coaching, shared momentum, and a more accessible format.
Talk through your optionsOnline coaching
You need structure that travels with you.
Get a custom plan in Trainerize, progress check-ins, and direct feedback from Jacob. It is a practical fit when location or schedule makes in-person training harder.
Talk through your optionsStrength can mean more than one thing.
For some clients, progress means moving without fear. For others, it means feeling capable again after a difficult health chapter.
Moving with less fear and more confidence.
Talk with Jacob“I was dealing with chronic back pain and sciatica. In three to six months, I was moving better, building muscle, and feeling stronger than I had in years.”
A way back to strength after heart surgery.
Talk with Jacob“After three heart surgeries, I was nervous to exercise at all. Training with Jacob gave me my life back. My strength and energy are higher than they were in my 20s.”
Every person responds differently. These stories describe individual experiences, not guaranteed results. Exercise coaching is not medical treatment.
A coach should push you and pay attention.
Jacob has a master's degree in exercise science and an ACE personal training certification. He pays attention to how you move, explains what matters, and adjusts the plan when your body or your week changes.
You will be pushed, but you will also be heard. That balance matters when you are new to training, returning after time away, or carrying a history that makes exercise feel uncertain.

Questions before you start.
You are allowed to be unsure. Here are a few honest answers before you reach out.
What if I feel out of place in a gym?
That is a completely reasonable place to start. Jacob explains what you are doing, watches the details, and builds the pace around your current ability. You will not be expected to already know the equipment or the exercises.
How do I choose between private, semi-private, and online coaching?
You do not have to choose before you reach out. The free consultation is a chance to talk through your schedule, comfort level, and how much hands-on support you want. Jacob can help you decide what makes sense.
Where does in-person training happen?
In-person sessions are offered in Irvine at 16782 Hale Avenue, Suite A. Your booking confirmation will include the current visit details.
What happens during the free consultation?
It is a 30-minute conversation about what you want, what has made progress difficult, and what kind of support might help. There is no pressure to have a perfect goal or commit on the spot.
Do I need to get in shape before I start?
No. Getting started is the point. Your plan begins with what you can do now and builds from there.
Not sure you are ready? Let’s talk anyway.
You do not need the perfect goal or the right words. Tell Jacob what has been getting in the way. He will listen and help you decide whether coaching makes sense.
