Jake Willems
Personal Trainer & NutritionistI’m Jake! A dual-certified nutritionist and personal trainer who loves strength training. Alongside Rachael, I also help manage the studio to ensure that everything is running smoothly and that our clients are happy.
I originally fell in love with strength training because I wanted to feel a little more confident in myself. Throughout the process, I began to see progress not only in my strength and physical appearance, but also in my confidence when tackling challenging tasks. Strength training has also helped me stay resilient as an adult who picked up sport in my 30s. Taking up Jiu Jitsu, which involves challenging physical skills and carries a relatively high risk of injury has been much smoother with a solid foundation of strength. Seeing these tangible benefits for myself sparked a desire to help others experience them too.
My aim is to make strength training more accessible to everyone, and I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to be healthier and stronger. Results are driven from building a lifestyle of health promoting habits which include regular physical activity, resistance training, eating a wide variety of nutritious foods, engaging in meaningful activities and having strong social connections. It’s not about extremes, but consistency.
A gym can be a scary and intimidating place, but our studio is the opposite. We’ve created a welcoming and purposeful space where have the opportunity to engage with our clients and serve their current needs and goals. The process of becoming a healthier person needs to be sustainable, relevant to each individual and integrate with (not impede on) their lifestyle.
Outside of the studio, I enjoy spending time reading, painting, playing bass guitar, hanging out with mates, and chilling with my cat, Luna!
