I’m Matt, I’m the owner and head trainer at Jag, the king of brutal jokes (like my Jay-Z
reference above), and a self-proclaimed “New Age” CrossFit Coach. I found CrossFit in 2014, a time at which I was 100% meathead. I could bench 315, had some visible abs, had never done a set of squats in my life… but thought I was the fittest person alive. I walked into that gym thinking I would be amazing at this relatively new style of exercise, but fast forward 60minutes and I’d gotten steamrolled by the workout and everyone else in the class. It was right then that I realized what true fitness can be and that I wanted to chase it. As I progressed as an athlete I found that each year I spent more time nursing injuries and

more time stuck and not making progress towards my fitness goals. This sent me down every fitness rabbit hole I could in an effort to uncover what was missing from my CrossFit workout regimen. I read books, I took certifications, and I traveled all over the country learning the methodologies of everything from unconventional training, to sports performance, and traditional strength & conditioning. I founded Jag on the grounds of taking the science of the strength and conditioning industry and applying it to the grit and intensity found in CrossFit. I believe in working harder AND smarter and training with a purpose. I want to learn every single thing I can about the human body and how to make it better both for myself and all of our members.
