Jay Back

Coach | Pensacola, FL

Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Jay was raised in Montgomery, Alabama, and recently made the move to Pensacola, Florida to continue answering his calling of helping others improve their health and quality of life.

With seven years of full-time coaching experience, Jay believes fitness isn’t one-size-fits-all. He enjoys studying the science behind movement, strength, and nutrition so his clients don’t have to, translating evidence-based principles into practical, approachable coaching that meets each person where they are.

Whether working with someone stepping into a gym for the first time or an experienced athlete pursuing a new goal, Jay’s mission is to help people build strength, confidence, and habits that improve everyday life.

Jay's Philosophy

Fitness isn’t the goal—it’s the tool. The pursuit of fitness creates opportunities to enjoy life more fully.
