Jennifer Romm
After spending over 20 years in the food and beverage industry, I made a career change and became a personal trainer in 2018. As someone who was always involved in fitness, the move felt very organic and natural! My specialty is functional strength training because movement is so important especially as we age.
I take great joy in helping people to unlock and achieve their true potential in a safe and supportive environment. I love incorporating a mix of cardio, strength and conditioning, and flexibility training into my client’s fitness plans to create truly individualized routines that address their unique needs. My mission is to provide my clients with the tools and knowledge they need to experience sustained success. My favorite exercise: deadlifts!
John Ives
Originally from a small farm town in Michigan, I found my first love for movement through music—playing drums with my brother and friends. That passion for rhythm and control eventually led me to rock climbing before discovering my true calling, strength training. Once I was introduced to powerlifting-style resistance training, I never looked back.
Over the past 5 years I’ve coached more than 150 clients, ranging from beginners learning safe and efficient movement patterns to experienced lifters seeking to refine their technique. My approach is highly technical, emphasizing evidence-based strength training with a focus on proper form. I ensure clients develop precise, efficient movement patterns as a solid base for building strength. I prioritize the major compound lifts because they are the most effective for transforming body composition while building well-rounded strength and mobility.
But strength training is more than just lifting heavier weights—it’s about resilience, patience, and discipline. True progress comes from persistence and determination. That’s the long game- it leads to a deeper understanding of your potential.
My coaching philosophy is simple: master your basics and then make them harder. Progress doesn’t come from complexity; it comes from refining fundamentals and pushing yourself to do them better. Keep it simple and effective. Eat healthy, sleep well, stay active, and trust the process. My goal is to help you move better, get stronger, and live pain-free for the long haul. Strength is for everyone, and I’m here to help you build it.
