Sean Jacobs is a human performance specialist who strives to help his clients master a holistic approach towards health, fitness, and life. He believes that becoming better versions of ourselves is so much more than counting calories, sets, reps, or miles, and that our progress is deeply rooted in considering all of the body’s systems and how they fluidly work together. His training philosophy is root cause-focused rather than symptom-focused, and his business and personal life development are fortified by a psychology background, a love of people and the planet, as well as existential, introspective, and eastern philosophies.
