Jared Coon - Founder & Head Coach
I have spent most of my life dedicated to fitness. As a result, I hold several fitness certifications in many fields. The reason I cover such a wide variety of programming is because not all individuals respond to getting fit in the same manner. The key element in common with all training I do is functional movement. I want to make you better at everyday life. I have trained individuals from all age groups with a wide variety of goals. Some had goals to make sports teams. Others had goals to be able to move from a seated position to a standing position, unassisted. No goals is too big or too small. My sports background started in high school. I was the winner of multiple wrestling tournaments and earned all-state honors for Westerly High School. I am also the former head coach of the Westerly Wrestling team. The transition from coach to personal trainer was an easy one. My passion for fitness started when I was a 95 pound freshman who needed to bulk up for wrestling. After a shoulder injury ended my wrestling career, I switched my focus to CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting. As a competitive weightlifter, I have gone from a novice at local meets to competing and placing at international masters competitions. I have spent time at the U.S. Olympic Training Center working with coaches to help better myself as both an athlete and a coach. My passion for training and coaching grows every day.
