Experience: Jesse has been personal training for 7 years.  His inquisitive nature has expanded his knowledge base through the latest research of the past decade.  He applies everything he learns to his own fitness then shares this knowledge with his clients as he trains their bodies and minds.  His interpersonal communication skill augments his training since educating and connecting with the client is half the battle.  “Every client is an individual.  You can’t take a magazine article and apply it to everyone nor can you just train someone the same way the biggest guy in the gym trains”.
