Jake quickly got his first of many certifications and began coaching at CrossFit Love, one of Philadelphia’s premier CrossFit gyms, and along the way earned a B.A. From there he moved onto P90X, and in 2012 found CrossFit. The weightlifting part of his fitness journey began like many other young men, working the glamor muscles bench pressing and doing bicep curls in his bedroom. Jake has been active his whole life, playing soccer, other team sports and becoming a top level Breakdancer for many years on the East Coast. Now, he is the sole owner and operator of Box Programming, as well as CrossFit REP in Austin Texas. Quickly, he started working with Jason, and went through all of the courses he had developed, learning the Conjugate system, and the innovative way that Jason had combined it with CrossFit. He wasn’t planning on outsourcing his programming, and had only met Jason through social media, but he liked all the things Jason said and decided to get on a call with him. Jake started as a client of Box Programming in 2018.

From 2013-2016 clients of theirs were consistently inside the top 50 in the CrossFit Open, they had close to 20 women that could deadlift 300 or more pounds, and their clients had incredibly low injury rates.

He also recognized there was a huge gap that he could bridge. He began to make connections between the Conjugate Method and the emerging CrossFit. In the military, he was introduced to CrossFit. He started working part-time in personal training, and was introduced to and learned the Conjugate System popularized by Louie Simmons. His father strongly encouraged him in athletics and to be his best, and his mother was a powerlifter, so he was inside weight rooms at a very young age. Jason’s fitness journey began in high school.
