One-on-one personal training built on a degree in Exercise Physiology, a Master's in Exercise & Wellness, and thirty years spent doing the work — not chasing a weekend certification.
The fitness industry hands out certifications the way parking lots hand out tickets — some take a weekend, some take an afternoon online. There's no standardized bar to clear, so "CPT" alone tells you almost nothing about who's actually qualified to coach your body.
If you're over 40, that gap matters even more. A trainer in their 20s hasn't lived through the physical realities that come with age — recovery, joint health, sarcopenia. StrengthLab LLC has, and builds programming around it.
The approach here is evidence-based, not trend-based: current research, not headlines; what actually works over decades, not what's popular this month.
Every client gets a plan shaped by their goals, history, and stage of life — pulled from a full range of coaching disciplines.
From foundational technique to high-intensity, advanced programming — always one-on-one, always coached in person.
Programming that accounts for recovery, joint health, and the muscle loss that comes with age — built by a trainer who's studied it for decades.
Evidence-based, whole-food focused nutrition coaching, available in person or by phone.
Custom programs for runners, cyclists, triathletes, and sport-specific athletes at any level.
Hybrid, functional, and high-intensity interval training for clients who want real conditioning, not a class.
Heavy bag, focus mitts, and Thai pad work alongside Krav Maga-based self-defense strategy.
Sport psychology, mental mindset coaching, and exercise management for chronic disease.
Sessions at your home, plus consultation on building out your own home gym equipment and layout.
No mirrors-and-music big-box floor. Just the equipment and space needed to train properly, one client at a time.
Jerrod has been a full-time personal trainer for over 30 years, holding a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Physiology and a Master's in Exercise and Wellness. He's 55, married 29 years, and a father — and he trains his over-40 clients with the same standards he holds for his own longevity in the sport.
Before founding StrengthLab LLC, he served as Fitness Director at Park One Health Club, General Manager at The Fitness Institute & Clinic, Fitness Director at KNIX Radio Station, and Sports Camp Director for the YMCA. He's been featured on KFYI's "Fitness Talk" and on Channel 15 News as their fitness expert.
Outside the studio, Jerrod is a lifelong endurance athlete — competing in the Boston Marathon and dozens of others, ultra-marathons, the Leadville 100 mountain bike race, Half and Full IRONMAN triathlons, open-water swims, and Muay Thai, boxing, and Krav Maga.
