  • Sean Jacobs - Taking one step back to take one giant leap forward in your Performance
    Jun 29 2021

    Sean Jacobs is human performance specialist striving to help his clients master a holistic approach towards health, fitness, and life. He’s passionate about helping his clients understand the why and the how of his instruction, rather than simply what to do, separating himself from the masses in the fitness world.

    A collegiate athlete and CSCS, with a master’s degree in exercise science, Sean has noticed some deficiencies in the current strength and conditioning world, and has focused the growth of his two businesses on evolving the best ways for his clients to piece their own personal development puzzle together. He strongly believes that performing better as a human is so much more than counting calories or sets and reps. 

    Jacobs Fitness, based in Tampa, Florida, builds individualized training and nutrition programs for clients across the US; and Shujaa Performance, an international sports performance company based in Nairobi, Kenya, seeks to level the international athletic performance playing field by bringing multidisciplinary educational resources to athletes and coaches around the globe.

  • Jared Coffey - How to optimize your joint & tissue function to increase your athletic performance and train pain-free.
    Feb 5 2021

    This week on Optimize Me I had the pleasure of speaking with an amazing friend and great guy Jared Coffey. Not only is Jared super smart and a plethora of information on all things biomechanics, he also has one of the nicest beards I've seen. 😂

    Jared is a Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist, Fascial Stretch Therapist, and Performance coach who believes in helping others achieve quality human movement while increasing athleticism. All of his programs stress the importance of optimal joint/tissue function needed for athletic performance as well as life’s activities. Jared believes that each person he works with should learn the basic functioning properties of their joints so they can get strong and healthy at the same time.
