“Extremely approachable, friendly, informative and fundamentally sound strength training - literally suitable for all levels. Jacob oozes individualized care, emphasizing safety, good form and enjoyment above all else, but he also gives you the tools to dial up the intensity/difficulty as much as you want. This class is a very special offering from a great teacher held in a remarkable setting - our north shore community is very fortunate to have it available to us.”

"Training with Jake has totally changed the way I think about fitness. Jake is all about longevity- teaching people how to move with care and progress with intention to ensure your body’s longevity. But that’s not to say he won’t kick your ass! As a woman I often stayed away from the weight room - due to a fear of “bulking up” and also a lack of knowledge. Jake helped give me the confidence to start lifting loaded barbells-I not only feel like a bad ass but I’m now stronger than I was in my 20s. Best part- thanks to his thoughtful programming, in the 1 yr + I’ve been training with him, I’ve never gotten injured.”

“Training with Jacob at JHC over the last couple months has been an inspiring and transformative experience. I’m a former college athlete (who used to spend a lot of time in the gym) with a lot of prior injuries. I’ve practiced yoga extensively for the last 10 years and want my body to work as well as it can so I can surf as much as possible. Within weeks of working out with Jacob, I wasn’t only stronger and surfing better, but made more substantial mobility and flexibility gains than I ever had after years of yoga. Jacob is incredibly knowledgeable and is constantly working to make sure his clients learn good technique to sustainably get stronger. He’s also just a solid human who’s great to be around. Mahalos Jacob and JHC.”

Jurassic is the best workout 10/10 every-time I attend a class. This is what truly changed the game for me working out- I used to be nervous to lift at the gym alone but the education that I gained through the very thoughtful and professional training atmosphere at Jurassic has transformed my mindset; not to mention my fitness journey! I had a really hard time kicking off postpartum weight gain and going to Jurassic classes consistently truly helped me get so strong again! I can’t speak more highly of the level of instruction and how the classes are really catered towards your individual skill level. Each instructor really knows their stuff not to mention it’s always the most fun workout! Can’t speak highly enough of Jurassic Health Club.

Some of the best strength training I have ever experienced - we are so lucky to have this facility on Kauai! Group classes are very approachable and Jake sets you up in a very clear and safe way so that you can focus and lock into the intensity of the workout without distraction. When I train consistently with Jake I notice overall positive shifts in my surfing and yoga practice. It just feels really good and it’s awesome to see and feel hard work paying off!

“Training with Jake is a game changer and the environment at JHC is conducive to a very focused session. The technical + physiological knowledge brought by Jake gives us a robust workout, without injuries, pulled muscles, or extreme soreness, all of which I have experienced with other trainers and facilities. I look forward to working out for the first time in my life.”
