I’m Jake, and I was first introduced to CrossFit in 2013, but I didn’t fully commit until 2022. Growing up, I played sports and always loved being active, especially the sense of community that came with it. When I moved back home to Watkinsville from Atlanta and started working from home, I realized how much I missed that community—so I joined Triad to find it.

What began as friendly competition with friends soon grew into a true desire to get in better shape and live a healthier lifestyle. Along the way, I’ve built lasting friendships, created healthier habits, and even met my wife here at Triad.

The coaches have pushed and encouraged me to become the best version of myself, and now I’m excited to step into a coaching role. For me, coaching is a way to give back to the community that has given me so much, and I look forward to helping others on their own journey to strength and growth.
