Meet Your Coaches

JESSE & CLAIRE

Hey everyone, Jesse here! I have been in love with fitness ever since I was 12 years old. I grew up playing sports and spending most of my free time outdoors as a member of the boy scouts. I received my Eagle Scout shortly before my 18th birthday and used my leadership skills acquired throughout that process to better myself in the United States Army. The military taught me many life lessons and gave me the honor to serve with many amazing men and women.

Real Reviews from Real People

I was looking for a trainer who would get me motivated and Jesse did that. I’m a mature woman who has suffered injuries in the past so that was a concern for me. Jesse listened to me and was able to successfully train me without re-injuring myself. He knows his stuff and as a result he makes you want to push yourself. Jesse’s genuine and friendly attitude will make you look forward to getting back to the gym every week.

I can't recommend Jesse enough! From day one, he took the time to understand my goals, strengths, and challenges, creating a personalized plan that kept me motivated and on track. His expertise, encouragement, and unwavering support have helped me achieve results I never thought possible. Not only has my fitness improved, but I’ve also gained confidence and a healthier lifestyle. Jesse is more than just a trainer—He's a true coach, mentor, and inspiration. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your progress and pushes you to be your best, look no further!

I would highly recommend Jesse Carter as a personal trainer. When I first met and trained with Jesse, I weighed around 286 pounds. With Jesse coaching and encouragement. I lost 60 pounds, gained muscle, and also gained a friend in Jesse, in less than 5 months time period.

I have been training with Jesse Carter for 2 years. I choose to work with Jesse from a long list of recommended trainers. The reason I chose Jesse was because of his background, expertise, his breadth of clients and his commitment to individualized training. He immediately contacted me when I reached out to him and we talked on the phone about my goals, background, (see more)

I felt from the beginning, he was interested and focused on me and what would work for me personally and I was not going to be put into a "cookie cutter" workout routine. Our first session was a full assessment of my abilities, strengths, areas needed for improvement and again my goals for training. I have been an athlete my entire life and fitness has always been important to me. I worked with trainers when I lived in NC, but had not worked with a trainer since moving to FL in 2019, so I was hesitant and apprehensive. Being a bedside nurse, I knew at 60 years old, even though I was in "good" shape, I needed an expert to help me build strength and capacity to continue to do the work I love and enjoy the many outdoor sports I like. Jesse built me a customized workout program to help me achieve my goals. After 2 years, I am stronger, have more endurance, and overall feel better about myself. My sessions with him are one of the highest priorities in my life. I got my husband to start working with Jesse a year ago, as he saw how pleased I was with Jesse and how great the results were. I have never worked with a trainer like Jesse, who is so committed and passionate about his work. For him, it's more than a job, it is truly a desire to help people meet their individual fitness and wellness goals, so they can live a more healthy and happy life!!

It’s a delight to be able to write about Jesse who is the most professional, considerate and empathetic trainer I have had the pleasure to work with. He has gone out of his way to accommodate my needs. I’m a 72 year old woman who needed to get back into strength training. I’m really self conscious about my lack of co-ordination and weight gain. (see more)

Jesse has been so kind: he never makes you feel humiliated or embarrassed and works with your individual strengths and psyche to achieve results. Jesse’s knowledge of rehabilitation techniques as well as overall strength training have helped me immensely with my weaknesses. Believe me I’ve had trainers in the past who have been so uncaring and judgmental they have made me feel wretched. Jesse’s empathy and kindness are just what I needed to feel comfortable and I’m able to work out with confidence. In addition to Jesse’s work with me he has trained my 14 year old, Special Needs grandson, plus worked with my two younger grandchildren. I’ve never seen anyone more caring and patient whilst maintaining a great teaching atmosphere, with clear guidelines and effective discipline. Children just adore him. They listen to him and look up to him. Jesse is the perfect trainer for me plus I’m always impressed with his work ethic, manners and endearing personality.

I trained with Jesse for a couple of years and found that his technics, knowledge about fitness and professionalism really helped me obtain the health and fitness level I wanted. I had a shoulder injury and he was able to help me strength the area and the pain disappeared. In the beginning he evaluated my fitness level and started me on a program that fit my needs. He listens to your needs and answers any questions you may have with nutrition, exercise, meal plans, fitness plans, etc. Jesse is an asset to any company he works for because he truly cares.
