MEET JAKAE

16 Years of Coaching. Thousands of Workouts. Still Finding New Ways to Move.

I've spent the last 16 years teaching fitness classes, personal training and helping people discover just how capable their bodies can be.

Throughout my career, I've pursued extensive professional education and previously held certifications through ACSM for 12 years, USA Weightlifting (USAW), and CrossFit Level 2.

But some of my most valuable education didn't come from a certification.

It came from doing the work.

I competed for 10 years. I've run more races—and more distances—than I could possibly count. I've developed and led running programs, trained athletes preparing for Ironman events, coached group fitness and worked one-on-one with people with completely different abilities and goals.

All of those experiences shaped the way I program today.

I don't believe a great workout should feel like someone copied a list of exercises from the internet. I believe in purposeful movement, intelligent programming, creativity, variety and finding ways to challenge the body that keep training interesting.

That's exactly what you'll find in these programs.

Unapologetically Next is about continuing to evolve—physically and otherwise. Because there isn't an age when we're supposed to stop getting stronger, trying something new or discovering what we're capable of.

Whatever your next chapter looks like, I hope these programs help you walk into it a little stronger.
