Porter Fitness & Health

I came to Porter Fitness and Health with a goal to lose 15 lbs and become more lean. After talking with Jake Porter about my goals he gave me a personal workout plan to achieve them. About two and a half months later of consistent exercise on his plan I lost 17 lbs and felt much better overall. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to lose some weight or gain muscle mass. He was also super helpful, kind, and informative throughout the whole experience which was great since I knew very little starting off. More...

A few years ago, I was exceedingly skinny to the point that I (and my doctor) were getting concerned about my health. I have an absurdly fast metabolism, so just trying to eat a lot wasn't helping. A lot of people told me weightlifting could be the key to getting back into healthy shape. I'm not someone who likes to rush into things if I don't know what I'm doing and I hadn't stepped into a gym in my life, so I wasn't about to start repping heavy dead-lifts out by myself. I started training with Jake and it was actually life-changing. I only trained with him for about a year because I moved out of his area for college, but in that year I gained 30 pounds of muscle, learned the form for all staple lifts in a way that has set me on a so-far completely injury free workout journey, and learned to tackle my absurd dietary needs (4,000 calories a day bare minimum, usually closer to 6,000) in a healthy, sustainable way. Obviously, I also learned that Jake Porter is an awesome trainer because that was all thanks to him. He's a great, funny guy who teaches valuable workout lessons in a way that's easy to understand and remember and he encourages a discipline in his clients that will keep them in charge of their own health even years after their training with him has concluded.

I had hurt my back 4yrs ago and was in constant pain. I went to chiropractors and nothing helped. I thought I’d never be able to lift heavy again. Started working with Jake and he knows every little detail about the human body and how small adjustments make a huge difference. I have gotten back into seriously lifting and my back has never felt better. Still being careful, but I give all the credit to Jake for getting me back into the gym. More...

After 50 years of trying my own plans to be physically healthier (with less than great results) I began to work with Jake. Jake’s educated and encouraging approach to making small changes, incrementally has made a significant difference in my flexibility and strength, as well as endurance. I have lost 12 lbs and am looking forward to continued improved health. Thank you, Jake! More...
