Meet Jake!
My background includes over 25 years of martial arts training, certification as a Power Yoga Instructor, professional training as an Assisted Stretching Specialist, and a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. I combine these disciplines to create sessions that are personalized, effective, and, most importantly, enjoyable.
Assisted Stretching
Assisted stretching is a personalized, one-on-one P.N.F. (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) session designed to improve flexibility, increase mobility, and reduce muscle tension. Using proven stretching techniques tailored to your body, helping you move with greater ease, recover faster, and feel more comfortable in everyday life. Whether you're an athlete, recovering from long hours at a desk, or simply want to move better, every session is customized to your goals.
Thursday appointments I come to you.
Friday sessions take place at our Arvada location.
Self Defense
Learn practical self-defense in a safe, supportive environment.
I train under Scott Pedersen at Gym Synergy Martial Arts in his Self Defense Decode system where the focus is on practical, real-world self-defense rather than flashy techniques. You'll begin learning skills you can use to protect yourself within your first few lessons, while continued training builds confidence, awareness, and the ability to respond effectively under pressure.
Whether you're new to martial arts or have years of experience, the training is adapted to your abilities and emphasizes techniques that work through leverage, timing, and smart decision-making rather than size or strength.
If you're close (about 5 miles or so) to the founding school Synergy Martial Arts and Fitness, ( 9001 Harlan Street
Westminster, CO 80031 ), you can train there in one of the many wonderful classes Scott offers. If you are a bit further, I can come to you for your training.
Personal Training
Personal training with Bendy Friends Fitness is about more than just working out, it's about building a body that feels strong, capable, and ready for real life.
Using the NASM OPT model as a foundation, I create personalized workouts that match your current fitness level, goals, and lifestyle. My experience teaching interval fitness and cardio kickboxing, combined with my background in martial arts, power yoga, and assisted stretching, allows me to take a well-rounded, movement-focused approach to training.
My goal is to help you find the joy in movement and make fitness something you want to be a part of your life, not something you feel like you have to do. Together, we'll build strength, confidence, and healthy habits that become something you look forward to and can rely on for years to come.
Let's get moving!
