Jay G.

I'm a retired US Army Special Forces Veteran with extensive multi-sport athletic and coaching experience. My unique background combines over 20 years of military experience, sport-specific training, and coaching, enabling me to train athletes effectively for peak performance on and off the field. My qualifications include NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Speed, Agility, and Quickness (SAQ) coach, Youth Exercise Specialist, and USA Football Speed Coach. I currently coach youth flag football and served as a Freshman Football Assistant Coach. Academically, I earned a BA in Psychology from American Military University and a MS in Organizational Leadership from Norwich University.

As a young athlete, I developed a solid foundation of relentless physical preparation, drive, and discipline from outstanding coaches who also served as influential lifelong mentors. This foundation prepared me for a decorated career as a US Army Special Forces Veteran with five tours in Afghanistan. I bring a diversified athletic background with eight years of experience in football spanning youth and high school levels. I achieved all-league honors as a defensive back during my senior year in southern California, where I also competed in track and field. Beyond traditional sports, I've completed the JFK 50 Mile Ultramarathon, numerous marathons and half-marathons, road races, and extensive endurance events while in the military.

Every client is unique. Whether in-person, online, or hybrid, my programs enable clients to achieve peak physical performance, mental fortitude, and optimal nutrition—fostering success in competition and a dynamic, active lifestyle. My approach focuses on the client’s goals, rapport, physical assessment, and plan development with consistent re-assessment to ensure goal alignment. 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.
