Built From
Experience.

The Beginning

Athletic.
Undersized.
Motivated.

Growing up athletic but undersized, Jason found the gym early — not as a hobby, but as a tool. With the influence of his brother and a deep dive into every training resource he could find, he became obsessed with becoming the best athlete his body would allow. Hours in the gym, sprints, big lifts, nutrition dialed in. The playing field was secondary — the training itself became the point.

The Shift

When Big Lifts
Weren't Enough.

At Wentworth Institute of Technology — studying architecture and walking onto the baseball team — Jason got his first real lesson in the limits of traditional training. The wear and tear of baseball, college life, and years of hard gym work exposed the gaps. He could mask dysfunction under a barbell, but he couldn't hide from how he felt. That realization sent his focus in a new direction, and with it came a decision: leave architecture behind and pursue what had always mattered most. He transferred to UMass Amherst to study kinesiology — committing fully to a career in health, movement, and training.

The Career

Equinox.
Education.
Reputation.

Jason entered the fitness industry at Equinox immediately after graduating, building a client base and a reputation that grew around one thing: results for the people others couldn't help. The trainer clients came to with injuries, postural dysfunction, and chronic pain. Equinox provided a strong educational framework — and access to some of the top minds in movement, nutrition, and performance — while Jason kept pushing beyond the curriculum to find what actually worked.

He went on to train his managers and fellow trainers, mentor new coaches, and teach within Equinox's mandatory advancement curriculum. In 2017, he was recognized as a Top 10 Trainer globally — the same year he and a partner launched their own branded private training studio.

The Philosophy

Function First.
Then Load.

Over 15 years of working with athletes, executives, post-surgical clients, parents, and everyone in between, Jason developed a system built around one premise: most people are training on top of dysfunction. The body carries a history — years of sitting, compensation, overuse, and poor mechanics — and loading it harder doesn't fix that. Addressing it does.

Grounded Training is the product of that belief — a system that bridges physical therapy principles with performance training, built from the ground up, and designed to make clients feel better every time they leave the floor.
