Meet the Trainers

A local South Floridian from Hollywood, Fl. Jamie grew up playing a variety of sports. By the time his high school career came (Hollywood Hills High) he was 14 yrs. old 6'0" and about 145lbs. After trying out for the junior varsity football team he realized that his lean frame wasn't strong enough to compete at this level. He was then introduced to an elective class known as Strength Training. In that class is were Jamie's life changed. Jamie was learning how to lift weights and was applying his strength in each sport he played. As he progressed, his strength coach ( Mr. Theo Ratcliff) saw how much passion he had in the weight room. Talking with Mr. Ratcliff Jamie expressed how he needed to gain weight and be stronger for sports. Mr Ratcliff worked with Jamie and showed him how to design workout programs to develop for each sport that he played. By his sophmore year Jamie had grown two more inches and was weighing 175lbs. He made the football team and was asked to join the varsity basketball team. Jamie joined the basketball team and dropped football all together. Focusing on just one sport allowed more time for him to focus in the weight room. By his senior year Jamie was 18yrs. old 6'4" and 195lbs. He was bench pressing 295lbs. and had a 38in. verticle leap.

     After high school Jamie enrolled at the University of South Florida. Where he was trying to earn an athletic scholarship. Due to unfortunate family matters Jamie was forced to come home and help his family. Having to push sports away and start looking for a job he watched all his hard work and opportunities slowly fade. After nearly a decade Jamie weighed in at 285lbs. He was out of shape and not livivng a healthy lifestyle. He suffered from sleep apnea and had trouble breathing. His confidence was decreasing and led him into depression. Finally he decided to do something before any major health problems occured. He went back to his high school roots and joined a gym. He then did some research and worked on a program to get him to lose weight and get back into shape. What started out to be a goal to lose 20lbs. turned into a 55lb. weight loss in 6mo. In one year Jamie weighed in at 225lbs and in shape. Jamie was back and so was his passion.
