Jason Keigher CSCS, CPT, PES, CES
Certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor

Welcome to my website. My name is Jason Keigher. I was born on April 16 1975, in Knoxville, Tennessee. When I was 4, my family moved to the New York City area - and I'm STILL here! I attended private school in New York and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Touro College in 1998.

I am certified by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor; by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS); as well as by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) as a personal trainer, corrective exercise specialist (CES) and performance enhancement specialist (PES). Additionally, I am certified by The Sports Club/LA as a pre/post natal and integrated flexibility specialist. I am also a certified Power Plate, Kettlebell and Tupler Technique (pre/post natal) instructor. I have earned my CPR and AED certifications from the American Heart Association.

I began my fitness career over twelve years ago with Equinox Fitness Clubs and I spent over five years employed as a personal trainer at Reebok Sports Club/NY. I am available for personal training in your home, office, park or private gym throughout New York City. My specialties include weight loss/gain, body toning, shaping, strength and flexibility training, postural correction, kettlebell training, TRX/suspension training, core strengthening, bridal boot camps and pre/post natal workouts.

WHY I BECAME A PERSONAL TRAINER

Many clients have asked me "why did you become a personal trainer?" For me it was a simple decision. As a teenager I was very out of shape. After school I would watch TV for hours and eat junk food. I never exercised and I would avoid almost all physical activity. By the time I was 20 years old, I was wearing 38" pants and I weighed almost 200 pounds! I was very worried about my physical condition and lack of energy. I needed to do something!

I hired a personal trainer to come to my house and help me get in shape. (I was too embarrassed to go to the gym.) During the next few months, I met with my trainer 2-3 times a week and watched my diet. My weight slowly began to drop and my energy level began to increase. Within 6 months, I was feeling great about myself and I finally joined a gym. Over the next few years I continued to gain muscle mass while reducing my body fat percentage.

Because of my struggles with weight gain and physical fitness as a teenager, I knew that when I graduated from college I wanted to work in the fitness industry. I began learning more about fitness and nutrition and I became certified as a personal trainer. Since then, I have earned five additional fitness certifications and I have taught my clients the safest and most effective methods of exercising, while providing nutrition guidance to facilitate this process.
