3 ways to train with Jake
Personal Training
Train one-on-one with Jake at Dirty Water Fitness, a private training studio in Cambridge. He builds your plan, teaches you the lifts, and keeps you progressing week to week.
Best if you want in-person coaching. Beginners and experienced lifters welcome.
Assisted Stretching
Jake takes you through a full-body stretch in a private treatment room at Dirty Water Fitness to improve your flexibility, especially in the hips, back, and shoulders.
Best if you feel tight and know you should stretch, but never get around to it. You don’t need to be fit or flexible to start.
Online Coaching
Jake builds a new training phase for you every month and reviews your lift videos, with feedback within 24 hours. Train at your own gym or home gym.
Best if you train on your own and want to know exactly what to do to keep progressing.
Results from Jake’s clients
“In my first session I literally laid on the ground after struggling to deadlift a 45 lb bar. Last week I deadlifted 315.”
“I’ve been the most pain-free [in] the past two months of [working with Jake], most pain-free I’ve been in years.”
“Each session, I experienced a noticeable improvement in my flexibility and overall mobility.”
I coach the way I wish someone had coached me.
I fell in love with lifting as a teenager, but I struggled to put what I read into practice. Twelve years of ice hockey left me feeling uneven in how I move, and a nasty low-back injury from doing power cleans made me cautious and led me to overthink my lifts.
I read books, studied the best coaches in the world, and hired coaches of my own. I found positions and cues that helped me feel the intended muscles working, and I built the flexibility each lift needed.
Today, I lift pain-free, I’m stronger than ever, and can do heavy barbell lifts without fear.
Now I coach people to do the same, with a clear plan from day one instead of years of trial and error.
