Jake is a life changer. I’ve worked with a couple different personal trainers in the past, and no one has helped me as much as Jake. Not only have I lost weight and gotten stronger, but Jake has given me fitness tips to utilize for a life time. I can’t recommend Jake enough. If you’re looking for a professional, educated personal trainer that cares for his clients and keeps you accountable, he is the personal trainer for you!

From zero to hero!
Jake is a spectacular all-around fitness coach. By following his instructions and guidance, I managed to lose over 15 pounds and a significant amount of body fat in just a few months. I can’t recommend him enough for what I was able to accomplish under his watch. A+ sir!

I was working out aimlessly before I started working with Jake. He gave me direction and purpose with workout and nutrition guidance. I have continued to lose steady weight and get in great shape, under his guidance. I highly recommend his services if you are looking for a great product.

I hired Jake back in April and in just a few months i feel like a completely different person! As someone who didn’t have a consistent gym routine, Jake has made the learning process fun and creates an environment where you’re learning comfortably while being held accountable.
One aspect I wasn’t expecting is the nutrition coaching that comes with the personal training. He’s been great at providing feedback, providing solutions to help you meet your macros and nutrition goals, and again holds you accountable for your progress. The changes I’ve seen in myself have been very motivating.
It’s also a plus that the in-person sessions take place in a semi-private gym. So you really get to train in an environment where you can focus and efficient with your time.
Thanks Jake, looking forward to continuing to work with you!

Simply put, Jake’s instructions and custom tailored programs work. Not only do they work, but you will get visible results.
Do what is asked and required on your as I did and you will see results as soon as 3 months.
There isn’t much else to say, other than to hire Jake as your trainer if you want to lose weight, build muscle, and start seeing changes in your health and fitness.
Attached are my 3-month progress photos.

I have not been in a gym in years. I wanted to get back in, but didn't know where to start. This is the place, Jake is the man. I went for a consult at his gym. He walked me though several exercise with light weight. This allowed me to understand how the exercises should feel. He walked me though his training program that I could sign up for. Anyone on the fence, just call and get started. No matter your skill level, you will be welcome here.

Thanks Kevin! Great to see you back in the gym💪🏻

Jake is an amazing trainer that will get you results. The training is done in a semi-private gym, which is nice.
He’s extremely well organized, tailored a program for me after our initial consultation. Helped to work on my diet, sleep, activities outside of his gym hours and was overall very motivational.
He’s also very careful about form and ability to do each movement correctly, so as to avoid injury, no matter what your current fitness level.
I completed my first series of sessions with him and am signing on again.
If you want to lose weight, gain muscle, get stronger or just become a better version of yourself - contact him. You won’t be disappointed.

Jake is awesome. I do not like trainers and avoid them like the plague. Meeting Jake remotely at first and then in person at his gym in St Petersburg Florida was absolutely fundamental to my current training routine.
At first he gave me some pointers remotely and directed me to a book for guidance and routines to follow. These made a huge difference and gave me the understanding and method for my growth.
The in-person instruction (a few months later) was fundamental to my current routine, sharpening the sword on technique which has made a huge difference in my gains in muscle mass and certainty that I can avoid injury in the future.
Certain exercises are scary if you don’t get the right instruction from the right trainer who has that attention to detail.
Jake has that detail down and can help. He discussed the routine, took videos and discussed technique. A huge help and I feel certainty in the gym. Thanks for all your help!

Before working with Jake I had been struggling to lose weight. Jake identified where I needed to change my diet and made adjustments to my workout routine. Now the pounds are coming off and I am heading in the right direction working towards my goal weight. I appreciate Jake’s attention to detail and I highly recommend Jake as a personal trainer. Thank you, Jake!

Working with Jake has been a game-changer! After struggling with a low back and hip injury, I wasn’t able to run like I used to and move like I used to. But Jake’s thoughtful approach made a difference in getting me back to my normal routine. He created a personalized plan that prioritized recovery while steadily and safely building my strength. He helped me build proper form and gave me confidence to go to the gym and do the workouts myself. Every session felt super purposeful, and I’ve seen real improvements in my strength and even aesthetic results. Now, I’m stronger, pain-free, and more self-assured in the gym than I’ve ever been. And I’m back to my true love: running. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares and has the knowledge and expertise it takes to make moves in your health, Jake is your guy.

I’ve been working with Jake from Florida Strong Fitness for about a year now, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Jake is a fantastic trainer—he’s easy to work with, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly invested in his clients’ progress.
I’ve never been much of a gym person, more into cardio and yoga, but after losing some weight, I realized I needed to build muscle. Jake made that transition seamless. From the very first consultation, he’s been attentive, supportive, and mindful. He remembers the little details, like any issues or pain points you mention, and always tailors workouts to suit your needs and preferences.
One of the standout aspects of Jake’s training is how holistic his approach is. He doesn’t just focus on workouts—he’s also on top of nutrition, which is included in his program. If you use tools like MyFitnessPal or other trackers, he helps you stay accountable and offers great recommendations to keep you on track.
Thanks to Jake, I’ve gained significant muscle mass and am in the best shape I’ve been in years. The progress is consistent, and I feel stronger and more confident every week. I’m so glad I found Jake and highly recommend him to anyone looking to take their fitness journey to the next level!

Doing the nutrition accountability calls with Jake is absolutely necessary. He will help you learn to measure macros and stay on track with your food intake. Be honest with yourself and your coach about your food intake and exercise regimen. Your health goals are attainable, take baby steps and be consistent. Best of luck!

Jake has been great to work with, he listened to what I would like to work on and results that I was looking for , he then customized a workout plan with me. Always answers quickly if I have any questions or need help. Has also given great advice on how I can adjust my diet to help me get the results I am aiming for as well. Highly recommend.

Jake is amazing! We started my weight loss journey in August of 2023 and so far I’ve lost over 30 lbs!! I’m the type of person where I’m too lazy to count my calorie's, but just by eating smaller portions and working out with Jake twice a week I’ve made a lot of progress! Since I’ve been having back pain recently he always asks how I’m feeling before our sessions and will create a workout plan that tailors to my specific needs! I will always recommend Jake to both men and women!! (:

The owner Jake Anders is training me to show up the best I can for fitness challenge that I joined. If it wasn’t for Jake, I wouldn’t be at the gym. He messages me throughout the week to ask me how well I’m doing and if I feel good with the program that he set up for me. I kept asking for alternatives to certain machines if they were busy and he always replied promptly with an alternative. He talked to me about nutrition and provided a lot of guidance that was helpful. I’m feeling good going into the fitness challenge “grading” and I’m feeling really good about out my transformation. I would not have made this much progress if it weren’t for Jake’s consistent messages and fitness and nutrition coaching and advice

Jake is very organized, pays attention to detail, personable, and resourceful in his field. He shares lots of different ways to eat healthy but still eat your favorite meals and he’s able to accommodate if you have any injuries. I started with Jake in April and lost 10% of my body fat mass in 6 months! Great experience!

I have been training with Jake for three months now. This is the first time in my life that I’ve made a real commitment and spent the money on myself to get in the best shape I possibly could. So thankful I did!
Jake has been there for me by being attentive to detail when it comes to my training and always pushing me to do my best and to strive to do more. He has a genuine concern for his clients and works hard to meet their training needs by going the extra mile above and beyond what most coaches would do. He’s always available to lend a listening ear, answer a question and to encourage!
If you are considering making the decision to invest in your health and physical wellbeing, no matter where you are in that journey, I would highly recommend Jake. You won’t be disappointed!
