Jay G.

I'm a retired US Army Special Forces Veteran with extensive experience in endurance and overall fitness training. My unique background combines over 20 years of military experience, endurance sport-specific training, and coaching, enabling me to train athletes effectively for peak performance. I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Speed, Agility, and Quickness (SAQ) coach, Youth Exercise Specialist, and USA Football Speed Coach. In addition, I have extensive experience training Special Forces operators on combat-related physical fitness and endurance. Beyond endurance sports, I've coached flag football at I9 Sports and served as a Freshman Football Assistant Coach. Academically, I earned a BA in Psychology from American Military University and Masters in Organizational Leadership from Norwich University.

I bring a solid athletic background with four years dedicated to track and field as a sprinter at the high school level, in addition to eight years of experience in football spanning youth and high school levels. Beyond traditional sports, I've completed the JFK 50 Mile Ultramarathon, numerous marathons/half-marathons, road/trail races, and extensive endurance events in the military and private sector.

Every client is unique. I can provide in-person, online, or hybrid training for endurance athletes from 5k to Ultramarathon. My approach focuses on the client's goals, rapport, physical screening, and program development with consistent re-assessment to ensure alignment with goals. For endurance athletes, mental preparation is a critical aspect and is included as part of the program. In addition, consistency, dedication, and athletes' expectations are key factors in athletic development. Realistically, it takes 4 to 6 weeks to see initial changes or improvements, while long-term changes may take 8 to 12 weeks. Given this, I recommend committing to multiple sessions to monitor progress effectively and to achieve your goals.
