Services
Over the past 12 years of being a personal trainer, I have had the great pleasure of helping transform people's bodies, minds, and lives. I do this using a combination of everything I have experimented and educated myself with, including but not limited to CrossFit, kettlebells, TRX, pilates, physical therapy modalities, HIIT, Spin, and more.
Strength training with Jordan was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There's not only a transformation in my body composition, but also in my own self-confidence and self-image. As the old saying goes "you get what you pay for" and with Jordan, you're paying for a trainer who has a million certifications, is aware of your specific needs and goals and plays an active role in being accountable in helping you reach your goals.
Ensuring the health and safety of my clients is my greatest priority, but you can still take it to the next level with virtual workouts. I work with clients who have full home gyms as well with clients who have what ever is available in their homes, including bags of kitty litter, couches, and soup cans.

Jordan and I go started working out back in 2018. I came to him looking to get into better shape and to lose some body fat from two pregnancies. I love running and this was my main mode of exercise but I wasn't getting the results I wanted. Working out with Jordan 1x per week and following workouts he provides during the week has gotten me great results, body fat down, feeling stronger and generally more fit.
Jordan is super knowledgeable about all aspects of training and fitness, providing nutrition recommendations, PT advice etc. He is great working around injuries, general aches and pains

Jordan is the best-of-the-best when it comes to personal trainers. I have really high standards for anyone I work with when it comes to fitness, having had lots of great and not-so-great experiences in the past. I've done my fair share of cardio boxing, indoor climbing, HIIT classes, crossfit and personal training and I can honestly say, I've never made performance gains like I'm making with Jordan. I am getting stronger and fitter every day at a pretty unbelievable rate. I've only been working with Jordan 3 months (2x per week + 1 day on my own where he gives the workout),

I have been working with Jordan for a little over 3 years, having been paired off with him at a gym in downtown Oakland just before he went independent, and feel so lucky to have found him. I'd had worked with trainers before but never anyone as knowledgeable about body mechanics and anatomy, nor one who could advise me so well on my cardio training in addition to strength training.
Despite Jordan's history of extreme endurance sports (Ultras, centuries, Iron Man, etc.), he stresses strength training not just for performance but in cutting down on body fat and increasing lean body mass. His goal

After several months of being in quarantine and doing little to no activity, I needed to start moving again. My main mode of exercise was through Core Power Yoga. Since all of the studios were closed, I decided to hire a personal trainer for the first time. I found Jordan through a little research of the professionals in my area.
In our initial screening, Jordan was very thorough, testing out my core and functional strength, cardiovascular baseline and joint stability. He was able to put together a very comprehensive plan for how to get me from remedial movements to full on squats, bench presses

I am a non-binary individual who started testosterone therapy a year ago. I am also a trainer who works in the same facility as Jordan. For years I had been working out on my own but mostly gravitated towards outdoor activities such as hiking, backpacking, surfing and running. I lifted weights but the motivation was not as high.
After starting testosterone therapy, my body started to change as did my aesthetic goals. I wanted to be use nonbinary pronouns but have a more masculine body. I knew that what I was doing for my fitness wasn't going to cut it for what I wanted to look like

I have trained with Jordan off and on for the past several years. He is, by far, the best trainer I have had. Not only is he in the best athletic condition but he is more knowledgeable than anyone I have met with regards to athletic training and fueling your body. Part of his expertise is identifying body mechanic deficiencies and weaknesses and helping you correct them. He will help you achieve your fitness goals and motive you forward and beyond!!

I have trained with Jordan for the better part of ten years, and, in addition to being a great friend, he’s been the best of the roughly half-dozen trainers I’ve worked with by a country mile. Jordan’s extremely knowledgeable about his profession, staying up to date on the latest fitness science and always incorporating new exercises. I love that he’s been able to customize workout regimen’s for me as my goals have evolved, be it a focus on strength, cardio, or overall fitness. And for those days when the energy level is wobbling or that last set is looking a little daunting, Jordan’s

Jordan’s expertise and supportive attitude have kept me coming back as a training client for almost two years now. I especially appreciate how he ensures that all muscle groups are addressed across workout sessions and that he documents in detail each circuit along with tips to perform them at home.

Shelter-in-Place Corona Virus updates: Well, since my last review, there's been a lot of changes in the world as well as in my progress. Jordan now does virtual sessions -- and while I miss going into the gym and lifting heavy, his sessions have been keeping me accountable and motivated. Since February, I've lost another 17 pounds. (I've lost a total of 30 pounds) I'm also no longer overweight and in the normal BMI range!

I've been training with Jordan for about a year with in-person and virtual sessions. Before I started working out with Jordan, I had no idea how to properly strength train or use the gym equipment correctly. With him. I've seen noticeable results and we always have fun while working hard. I appreciate that he is so knowledgable and can explain the biology and science behind our workouts. He also goes above and beyond and holds me accountable. Highly recommend his sessions and will continue going to him for a long time.

I started training with Jordan in mid-December. I don't know why it took me so long to decide that my body was worth spending money on! Jordan is really encouraging and knowledgeable, and pushes me so much harder than I would ever push myself. I'm learning so much about working out and about my own strength and am already seeing great results. Jordan has a really individualized approach to his training. I really feel that my sessions are tailored to my abilities and goals. I can't wait to see where I go with Jordan's help and would encourage anyone who is considering a personal

As a Physical Therapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist I completely trust Jordan with any of my patients. I have seen first hand his results and how extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated he is to his clients' success. On top of all of that, he pays extremely close attention to detail and I know that if a patient of mine is training with him that they are safe in his care. I have come across very few personal trainers such as Jordan and I can 100% recommend him to anyone looking to lose weight, improve strength, or just improve their overall fitness in general

Since my last review, Jordan trained me for my powerlifting competition in February 2019. I placed 1st in the 125lb/57kg weight category.
It has been fantastic preparing for competition under his guidance and support. Jordan is not only an amazing, devoted coach, but also a brilliant mentor and a kind friend.
Jordan is genuinely invested in the growth of his clients. I'm so thankful for all his time, effort and patience in training me so I could get back on the platform. Extra props to him for putting up with my incredibly stupid jokes and for keeping me focused when I'm tired, distracted

Before training with Jordan I was unable to lose the weight I had gained from my two pregnancies. As a runner, I had hit a plateau.

My housemate had been working with Jordan since March of this year and then invited me to come and join one of their sessions. I have mostly been a runner and dabbled a little bit in weights. Seeing the major improvements my housemate had made in both strength and muscle gain, I decided to join him and Jordan both for partner training.
I am pretty happy with the results - my body is getting more toned, my lifts are stronger and my mile splits faster. My housemate and I only see Jordan once a week, but Jordan gives my housemate and I very easy and comprehensive instructions of what to do for

As a private fitness studio owner, I really enjoy having Jordan working at our studio. His sense of humor and his respectful and positive attitude are a joy to be around. He is also very tidy and clean, and I always appreciate the way he treats us and his clients, the other trainers, and our space.
An excellent coach not only combines special knowledge and approach, they also listen and develop a program that engages and fits a client on multiple levels. Jordan exemplifies those qualities so well, and his approach is enjoyable while also helpful to his clients.
Trust and care are really important

I had done personal training before in Reno, where expenses are way lower than in the Bay Area. I liked his services and he helped me get a six-pack and a lean, chiseled physique. After a few years without the trainer and being in the professinal world, I decided that my job and age would be more fitting with a much larger build. Being in public speaking, I wanted to boost my confidence so I researched personal trainers in the SF area and found Jordan.
