J.E.T Fitness, Bellefonte PA

I have a psoas muscle that gets tight and causes some discomfort and pain in my legs. This is a challenging muscle to work on because access is difficult. Jake had no problem getting to the source of the tension, and releasing it. He also worked on many of the related muscle groups to make sure everything was in sync working together as it should. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable and skilled when it comes to restoring the human body back to proper form and function!

I have been searching for a good massage therapist for many years and now I have found an exceptional one in Jake. He not only has great touch that works well for my individual needs, he is knowledgeable about anatomy and physiology as a whole. This allows me to better understand how my body functions and how to set appropriate fitness goals. Jake promptly returns my messages and is on time for appointments. In addition, he is kind and thoughtful. I recommend him to everyone of all ages (I’m71) and a variety of physical needs.

I really enjoy working with Jake. He is passionate about helping his clients achieve their physical fitness and wellbeing goals. He recognizes everyone’s body is different, and will listen to your feedback to work with you and get creative with exercises to fit your unique needs. He knows how to balance this while still pushing you, and I have been very happy with the results I’ve seen in my own progress so far!

The level of personalized, 360-degree care Jake provides is unmatched! The option of being able to pause during a workout to get assistance with stretching out a particular muscle group or the way he’s able to translate a relaxing massage into a hyper-specific workout session make his range If skills uniquely beneficial. If you can get an hour on his schedule, you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve trained with Jake since before he was finally able to get his business off the ground and can’t wait to continue! His workouts are always tailored to the goals you have in mind. I recently had hand surgery and he’s adapted workouts to fit my current restrictions. From gym workouts, to boxing, to outdoor cardio, he knows his stuff more than well enough to ensure you’re never bored and even excited to workout with him. I will follow him wherever he goes for sure!

I have been Jake's client for a number of years. Three days a week we work on lower body, upper body and core with boxing. At my age agility and balance are key for good health and the work that we do keeps me moving forward and centered. His massage skills are needed periodically when I experience lower back or neck pain. Boxing has been the best for me. The moves keep the mind on task and the arms and legs responding to the count. Balance and coordinator are key to the work. All in all, adding boxing to the workout improves my attitude and appreciation for my life and gives me confidence that I can get up if I fall.

I started working with Jake Schiffer about three years ago. I had been discharged from physical therapy after a torn meniscus (related to osteoarthritis). I was not back to my pre-injury level of strength or range of motion (or pain management) and wanted more professional help in regaining strength and use of my kness. Jake has been simply great. From the beginning, he listened to my concerns, building workouts to helped me build strength and return to my level of activity before the injury. I've continued to work with Jake and am now stronger with more range of motion and better pain management than I've had in the 10+ years since my arthritis diagnosis.
Jake is an excellent trainer. He has a wide knowledge base about exercise and training, muscle and other body structures, injury and motivation. He is always ready to adapt when I have concerns about an exercise (I try to avoid kneeling) and also encourages me to safely push beyond my comfort zone.
I am in my late 50s and am grateful to work with Jake in keeping active and fit. He is always professional and positive, respectful and pleasant and makes the workouts interesting. I've very grateful to work with Jake!

Jake Schiffer is an excellent teacher and coach. Through his professionalism, extensive expertise, patience, warmth, and good humor, he has built my trust and kept me motivated through injuries and setbacks to achieve a new level of strength and fitness, an enhanced self-image, and increased confidence in my ability to meet the physical challenges of aging.

Jake is a fantastic trainer! He has helped me through a shoulder surgery by providing workouts and training to strengthen and speed up my recovery by weeks!

Jake's personality is the one of the many reasons I've stay with him all these years. He is more than a trainer he is like your best friend cheering you on to achieve all your goals and dreams.

I continued to work with Jake to further my career in ultimate frisbee with intense workouts that fit my goals. With the bonus of his sport massages for recovery

Jake and the Jett Fitness team are truly professional! Jake has been able to put me on the path of a heathier lifestyle while keeping me injury free! I highly recommend!
