Hello, hello! My name is Jay (they/them/she/her), also known as Jake. I am the founder of Inclusive Functional Fitness (IFF), where my background in competitive diving, CrossFit, and mental health shapes our unique approach to fitness. I believe in blending athletic rigor with holistic well-being to create a nurturing environment for all.

In my coaching philosophy, I prioritize integrating physical fitness with mindfulness, safety, and inclusivity. This ensures a comprehensive approach to health and wellness that supports each individual's journey.

My personal journey extends beyond the traditional bounds of fitness. I actively engage in adult gymnastics, boxing, dancing, and other activities that challenge and excite me. My daily life is enriched with spiritual practices, including meditation and sound baths, alongside my passions for reading, journaling, and connecting with nature.

In 2023, I made a pivotal shift from clinical psychology to focus on developing IFF into a sanctuary that fosters respect, love, and kindness. This decision was driven by my desire to create a meaningful impact within the San Diego community and beyond.

Looking ahead, I am dedicated to dismantling barriers to fitness access, particularly for the trans and LGBTQ+ communities. My vision for IFF is to transform it into a Wellness Center, a haven of support and safety for everyone, reflecting my commitment to nurturing the highest version of ourselves and our community.

Through IFF, I am blessed to share this holistic creation and journey with you, inviting you to grow and thrive with us in an environment that celebrates authenticity and well-being.
