About Jake
"Don't
Quit!"
Jake is
a tried and true fitness authority, who is known for his exceptional
motivational abilities and his instinctive talent of making
the task of keeping fit seem simple and fun. Growing up in Long
Island, New York, Jake was an overweight kid who had a terrible
stutter. It was overcoming these adversities that entrenched
his new philosophy of living a fit lifestyle, adopting his personal
lifelong motto "Don't Quit!".
Creating
an Industry
Jake created
the industry of personal fitness training and was the first
nationally recognized fitness trainer. He was featured in newspapers,
magazines and was the "coffee talk" of Beverly Hills Cafés.
Jake's distinguished client list included Steven Spielberg,
Harrison Ford, Bette Midler, Michael J. Fox, Priscilla Presley,
Madonna, George Lucas and many others. His fee of $200 per session
created a national buzz, and spawned an industry of fitness
professionals to follow his lucrative and unique method of getting
people into shape.

network, owned by Fox Sports and Body by Jake Enterprises. Jake
has also authored several books, and has lectured to corporations
and Universities around the country. As Chairman of Body by
Jake Enterprises, his company provides products, programming
