ABOUT JON KAKER
Experience
My name is Jon Kaker. No one calls me Jon- it's Kaker or Kake $how. I don't even know why I tell people my name is Jon in the first place.
Anyway, I'm an NASM certified personal trainer (fancy way of saying I'm legit,) VertiMax Bootcamp instructor, basketball coach, a strength and conditioning coach.
​
I became a nationally certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) in 2011. For my first gig I trained at Gold’s Gym in Venice, “the Mecca of Bodybuilding” for two years March 2012-2014.
I also worked as a strength and conditioning coach at Pierce College in 2014. I got my Bachelors in Kinesiology: Applied Fitness at Cal State University Northridge May 2015.
In August 2016 I was hired as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Crossroads High School (Santa Monica). My first team, Girls Volleyball, made it all the way to the California State Championship.
​
In March 2014, I created #KakeFit allowing clients to receive personal training without a lengthly gym membership.
​
I've played basketball (collegiate and semi-pro), football and swim. As an athlete, I realized that Vertimax is an extremely effective way to jump higher and run faster. I created #VertimaxBootcamp to help athletes achieve their potential using a method I know works.

Philosophy
It takes an athlete to know an athlete. If you want to perform at the highest level possible, I can get you there. Because I've been there.
