Adele McDaniel

"Jesse is great! I checked out and interviewed a few options before I settled on Jesse at Central Athlete. I chose Jesse/Central Athlete because I felt that he really sought to know me, where I was in my fitness journey, and what my goals were when developing my program. I felt with other organizations there was a "box for success" that I needed to fit into. Jesse is extremely knowledgeable, and I feel that he takes the time to understand me—where I am—and my challenges, and he uses that knowledge to develop a program for my success. I couldn't have done it without him."

Henry Brewton

“In addition to the culture of CA and the holistic approach, I’ve appreciated the virtual aspect because it has allowed me the benefit of privacy while I worked through my awkwardness with physical activity, in my home away from the gym rats. Additionally, I feel the virtual aspect has made me more accountable because I don’t have Chris present to hold my hand ... I definitely recommend CA’s program. This has been the best investment I’ve ever made in myself.”

Eli Halpin

"I have been working with Coach Steven for 2.5 years and I have almost zero pain in my body most of the time. I’m 46 years old and seem to be aging backwards. I carried a lot of these sore tender spots around for about 30 years and it feels bizarre in a good way to have them evaporate."
