Bio
Jason Spencer has a tremendous enthusiasm for all facets of health, fitness and
physical performance that stems from an athletic lifestyle from childhood. Jason
was fortunate enough to compete collegiately in football and learned to love the
challenges that physical activity placed on the body.
As Jason progressed through his higher education and became increasingly
aware of how science is applied to physical activity and how it reveals the
benefits of exercise, he realized very quickly that he wanted to pursue a career
that gives him the opportunity to teach others to compete, challenge, and push
themselves towards something more valuable to them than anything else; health,
fitness and self worth. Being a fitness professional allows Jason to do this for
them and he is always incredibly grateful for that.
Education & Experience & Certification Jason has a Bachelor of Science degree in Neuroscience from
Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA. Neuroscience and his acquired knowledge
of the nervous system and muscle stimulation techniques has been extremely
instrumental towards building a unique ability and feel for training the
body for optimal form and function.
As a personal trainer he is certified with ACSM (American College of Sports
Medicine). He's also a strength & conditioning specialist with NSCA
(National Strength & Conditioning Association). He has additional
certifications in both kettlebell principles & techniques (Equinox), and
Flexibility & Corrective Exercise (Swedish Institute of Health Sciences in
NY).
Jason has worked as a trainer and conditioning specialist in a variety of
fitness facilities over the years such as: LA Fitness in Piscataway, NJ, the
YMCA in Metuchen, NJ, and Equinox Fitness Clubs in New York, NY. He
also does private in-home sessions all over the Manhattan area.

/ Lean Muscle Building My approach to muscle building combines a Neuroscience background of
muscle stimulation and intensity manipulation, with a detailed focus on
technique and range of motion... The body and how it works is definitely a
science, and the only way to bring forth the type of results you need is to take
that same mentality when performing the exercises. In short, my philosophy for
