At 40 years oId I had trained relentlessly. Battling 4 years of chronic daily Achilles Tendinosis, 5 years shoulder inflammation I push harder than most. My body fat was on the cusp of clinically overweight. That’s when I was introduced to Jacob Zemer.

Jacob simplifies everything. It’s just back to basics but with modern, sustainable ways of doing it. 8 months in the plan has worked. My Achilles pain disappeared, I sleep pain free for the first time in over 5 years. My body fat is down 17.5% and I’ve lost 38 lbs. I now train to compliment my nutrition. I’m putting in 50% the work in the gym and getting 10x the results.

I decided to work with Jake after about a year of being vegan. I was healthy but softer than I wanted to be. The Goal was to drop body fat without dropping muscle.

I went from ~21 percent body fat to ~10 percent while lean muscle mass remaining constant. Jake has a directness about him that makes him a very effective coach.

My whole life I’ve gone up and down from being in incredible shape, to really out of shape from decisions of my own leading to bad habits. I’ve always been able to get back on track but never found something long term until I learned my macros and Jake’s philosophy with accountability.

Joey

I thought I knew how to train after 20 years of doing it. I can truly say, Jake taught me how to lift weights and how to eat. The importance of training volume, mobility work, massage therapy, and how to fit a diet into my demanding life. I am now 42 and in the best shape of my entire life. I am stronger and more aesthetic than I was in my twenties, and Jake is responsible for it.
