Jason    Biography | Testimonials


Biography:
Personally devoted to a lifetime of fitness, I strive to share my passion for health with others. Currently in my tenth year of training, I enjoy educating my clients about living healthy and feeling great. I have been fortunate to watch clients adopt healthy lifestyles and live more enriched lives. My success stories range from children who once led sedentary lifestyles and now enjoy the benefits of fitness to senior citizens building confidence in their balance and strength again. In 2006, my experience and passion for health led me to develop a company called Fitness 805.
Seeing the need for quality health care professionals, Fitness 805 connects individuals with the most appropriate professionals. As president of Fitness 805, I can now reach more people to educate on the importance of health. This devotion has landed me recognition in numerous publications regarding my expertise within the fitness industry.
I currently hold certifications through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), and my past work experiences are extensive. I have provided personal training services for clients around the world and have worked as a personal trainer for the following establishments: Four Seasons Biltmore Resort, Santa Barbara, the Coral Casino Beach Club and Cabana, Santa Barbara, and the Santa Barbara Athletic Club.
My personal training programs are detailed to help any individual attain their fitness goals. These specialized programs incorporate many forms of exercise focusing primarily on core stability, balance training and strength training. These beneficial forms of exercise decrease the risk of injury and help the body to physiologically function better. This, in turn, leads to healthier living and increased confidence.
Most importantly, I make working out enjoyable and I guarantee results to those who commit to making a difference in their lives.





Testimonials:
"I was looking for a trainer who had the knowledge and expertise to help me develop my total body strength, balance, and flexibility without causing me any major damage along the way! Not only is Jason Baker all that, he has a wonderful sense of humor.
I like all the comments I get about being cut and I'm stronger for all my other activities. Being in top condition protects me from getting hurt when I play tennis and mountain climb.
My only complaint is that I'm sure I'm up to 30 reps and he's saying, "That's 25...keep going."
-Dr. Laura Schlessinger

"It is a privilege to be writing a letter of recommendation for Jason Baker.
During the last year, on a three session a week schedule, I have enjoyed training under his dedicated and very qualified guidance. As a sixty six year old man with arthritis I have been secure with the program he tailored for me. I know that his broad knowledge will also benefit others with special needs. In addition to his educated skills he has also proven to be an engaging friend."
-John Saladino

"I have been working out with Jason Baker for over a year and my body and attitude towards working out have been totally transformed. Jason makes it fun and easy to stick to a routine that is always fresh and innovative - adding and altering it as one progresses and gets stronger. I can't sing his praises high enough. He's challenging and encouraging. He's helped me looked the best I've ever had but most importantly I am the healthiest I've ever been."
-Roger Durling

"Jason is the "creme de la creme" of trainers. His professionalism, training ability and ability to motivate are without equal.
Jason is in a class by himself. I have never had a trainer so professional, who understands the body so well and can motivate me the way he can."
-Elaine Dine

"My training experience with Jason Baker has been excellent. He is extremely knowledgeable, and communicates very clearly. The workout focus results in better body movements and strength that I use for daily living not just for working out. I have noticed significant improvement in my sports activities since training with Jason. I have never felt this physically good before. I give Jason Baker my highest recommendation as a trainer and a person."
-Michael Trambert, MD

"I have been working out with Jason Baker for a couple of years now… That in itself is a miracle! He is the only trainer who didn’t try to push me too hard at the start so that I injured myself and lost enthusiasm. He incorporates weights, strength training, cardio, and balance and has increased my core strength significantly. Six months ago after injuring two disks in my lower back, my Doctor told me I would never play tennis again. I am not only playing now but winning! Jason customizes your workout, really listens to your concerns, and encourages you to be the best you can be. I give him my highest recommendation, he’s the best."
-Corinna Gordon

"Jason Baker of Fitness 805 is by far the best trainer I have ever encountered. Working with Jason has created a lasting and sustainable approach to a fitness program. His knowledge and experience have and continue to have a lasting impact on my fitness and lifestyle. He is completely attuned to my individual needs, which have reduced my BP and Cholesterol as well as enabled me to eliminate many of the aches and pains that come with the “maturing” process.
He has changed the way I exercise and take care of myself for the rest of my life."
-George Orteig

"It has been my good fortune to have worked out with Jason Baker as my trainer for 8 years. I have known Jason since he began Fitness 805 and have seen his continuing devotion to his own development as a trainer with his certifications and ongoing self training. I attribute a large part of my good health, vitality and appearance to his training. He always provides a varied workout which keeps the routines fresh and the motivational level up.
I look forward to many more years of working out with Jason!"
-Anne H. Rojas

"When I first started with Jason, I let him know I really don't like to exercise, yet with my bad back and knees, I had to. He expertly chose exercises that not only strengthened the muscles to support my back, and knees, but also didn't aggravate any other joint problem I had. Over the past two years I have had so few back problems I don't have to go to my chiropractor nearly as often, nor do I have any of the aches and pains I used to have. I have lots more energy, amazing flexibility and can easily do the exercises that once were too challenging. He makes the hour go by so fast and is always encouraging, which makes me actually look forward to the sessions. The fact that he comes to my home makes it doable for me with an already full schedule since I don't waste time driving to and from a gym. It has been one of the best things I have done for my health."
-Juli Shulem

"I have been working out for most of my adult life and I thought I knew enough to accomplish my goals. Boy was I wrong! After hitting a wall with my workouts, I wanted to quit. A friend of mine convinced me to give Jason a shot, so I did. I have to say its probably one of the best decisions of my life. Jason has helped me reach my goals, and taught me so much about working out and keeping fit. He helped make working out fun again, which is just what I needed. I have to say; Jason is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and personable trainers around. Now at 35 I'm in the best shape of my life physically and mentally thanks to Jason. Thanks for everything."
