In order to achieve something you’ve never done before, you must be willing to become somebody you’ve never been before

I work with my clients from the inside out, starting with nutrition and healthy eating habits to core functioning and stability. After working two years in Physical Therapy clinics I have learned rehabilitation basics, which helps me identify correct technique before progressing my clients to a more advanced exercise.

My clients workout in every plane of motion, to increase healthy living and decrease the likelihood of injury. My specialties are:

Weight loss, healthy eating

Field sports

Olympic weight lifting

Functional movements

Movement techniques

Education

B.S. in Exercise Biology from the University of California, Davis, 2009. Davis, Ca

Client Quotes

"Jared knows how to work every muscle in your body; he really puts a lot of attention into making sure we are effectively targeting each. I've been working out with him for 3 days per week for nearly a year now and enjoy it a lot."

− Nathan Blecharczyk, Co-founder and CTO - AirBnB

"With Jared, the focus is on your success. He has an open mind when it comes to program design and can help achieve your goals whether you want to use your own methodology or his."

− Shayan Zadeh, Co-founder and CEO - Zoosk

"Jared was able to successfully zone in on the very specific parts of my body I felt needed a bit of help to get my 'bikini body' on point. Fun, focused training sessions with real results. "

− Jamie Chambers

"I first worked with Jared one-on-one doing personal training sessions, and quickly recognized his deep knowledge for all things health and fitness. I have since invited him to come teach a boot camp class for a group of 10-15 people at my company. He is an excellent and motivating instructor in both settings."

− Adam Post

"Jared tailored a workout schedule that focused on my core which included proper form and circuit training; he also introduced me to new exercises that maximized my strength output. Within 2 weeks I started seeing improvements in my run, swim, and core."

Client Success Stories

    Product Manager, Software Company

    I trained with Jared consistently for over a year, and saw great improvements in my strength, flexibility, range of motion, and overall well-being. Jared does a great job of tailoring workouts to his clients' unique goals and needs. I had some pre-existing injuries as well as ambitious goals for endurance sports, and Jared was able to help me overcome my limiters and feel great when I was outside the gym. The workouts with Jared were varied and fun, and always challenging. Jared is a nice guy and I enjoyed spending a couple hours per week in his company. I would recommend him to anyone!

    My wife and I worked out with Jared for many months leading up to our wedding and then afterwards as we trained for a half marathon. He was terrific to work with and I definitely got in to much better shape, while also strengthening my back, which has been a problem area for me for several years. Jared was as invested in my fitness as I was. What more can you ask for out of a personal trainer? He created workouts that were varied, challenging and appropriate for my fitness level and my goals. Plus, he did so with a great attitude, so that it was a pleasant experience all around.

    I am the type of person who *hated* going to the gym; I found all of the equipment intimidating, and never knew which exercises or machines would give me the results I wanted (beyond the obvious, like using a treadmill for cardio). Now, I look forward to going to the gym, and to working out. I feel it when I don't go to the gym. Here's what I like about working with Jared: Jared finds a good balance between keeping things challenging and making them fun; he pushes me to do things that I would never do, and builds confidence by showing how my performance improves over time. He's consistently positive and always shows up with a smile.
