Trainer Bios:

Owner / Chief Executive Trainer: Jason Speck
NASM CPT, NASM PES, AFAA CPT, NCSF CPT, Apex CPT, USATF Level 1 Coach, CrossFit Level 1 & 2, CrossFit Running and Endurance Sports Level 1

Jason is originally from a small town in upstate New York. When he left NY he moved to Las Vegas and began personal training full time. Jason has lived in Arizona for 2 years now, and loves it. He has over 4 years of training experience, and holds 8 nationally recognized certifications in Personal Training, Diet and Nutrition, and Coaching. He was one of 21 trainers selected, out of a group of over 4000 trainers, to travel to Beijing and work in the USOC High Performance Training Center during the 2008 Olympic Games. He did choose to pass on this opportunity in order to open Competitive Fitness but still considers it quite an honor.

Jason worked for the New York State Department of Corrections in a men’s maximum security prison for 5 years.  He understands the demands and stresses facing Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters, Soldiers, and all service personnel. He knows all too well that having one of these jobs means that you are not guaranteed to come home at night. He is dedicated to seeing that you are well prepared for whatever you may face during your shift, in hopes that you can fulfill the promise to your family to return home safe every night.

Jason maintains an athletic lifestyle.  Sports range from cycling, soccer and swimming during his youth, to triathlons and marathons in recent years. Athletic achievements include: 3rd Place finish Toughest Competitor Alive 2003 NYS Law Enforcement Olympics, multiple medals during 2002 NYS Dept of Corrections Olympics, and various triathlons, including the 2007 Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon.

Jason had the opportunity to work in the classic “big box” gym.  He trained moms, dads, athletes, morbidly obese, elderly, some local “Biggest Losers”, and everyone in between. During his time in the “big box” gym he noticed some key things missing. The lack of member focus is why he decided to open his own gym.  He realized that people often don’t make the most of their time at the gym.  It is not a lack of motivation that causes people to not succeed, but the lack of knowledge and help.  A personal goal is more easily achieved when done in a caring and supportive community. CrossFit Forever Strong is that community.
