About
@KakeFitStudios in Inglewood is now open!!!
Experience
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 gym membership.
In Jan 2021, I created @KakeFitStudios a private state of the art garage fitness studio to maximize human performance for athletes and general fitness clients!
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.
I love helping athletes achieve their fitness goals! I've helped turn over 50 HS athletes into D1 collegiate recruits in multiple sports!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I prefer prospect clients to schedule their first session online via https://calendly.com/jonkakerfitness
First session will include;
15 min athletic deep stretch program breakdown
40 min main workout using weights and vertimax
5 min abs / cool down
Will email pricing sheet over and never pressure for the sale for the first session. I enjoy teaching/training and not about being a salesman.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
NASM ('12), Kinesiology B.S. (CSUN '15), multiple HS state championships.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
There's a session type for everyone.
My hourly drop in rate is $85/hr, and that # can go down depending how many sessions you can pre-pay for upfront.

If you are serious about your developing yourself as an athlete, there is no better trainer and facility than working with me at @KakeFitStudios.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Q: What do you define as measurable goals?

Q: Can you do h/w such as warmups on your own to maximize time together per session?
