"Words cannot describe the incredible transformation I underwent through attending Jason's weight training sessions. He has a strong focus on form and builds you from the ground up. My deadlift went from a measly 125lbs to 400lbs over the span of 3 months. He also focuses on your overall health, and makes sure that you can be the strongest you possible."

“Prior to working with Jason, I had been consistently weightlifting for about a year. Although I'd noticed muscle growth and distinct variations in my appearance, it wasn’t till I worked with him that I learned the fundamentals of weightlifting. He taught me proper form, a variety of exercises, proper nutrition, and key principles that I’ve never forgotten to follow: “form over weight” and “nothing happens overnight.” I appreciated and admired that despite him working with numerous individuals at a time, he customized a routine specifically catered to my needs and ensured my form was proper- without sugar coating it- in order to prevent any injuries. He not only focused on the physical aspects of training, but the mental too. He pushed my limits and gave me confidence I didn’t know I had. It didn’t take long before I began to feel better within and outside the weightroom. There was never a dull moment during training sessions and I am forever grateful I got such an opportunity. ”

“Jason was the reason I started to lift and take getting fit more seriously. I had no idea where to start and Jason made it very easy and explained everything in a way any beginner to understand. He helped create a program specifically for me that worked with my schedule as an athlete and a full-time student. Not only did he help coach me and train me in the weight room, he also helped me get my eating in check. Jason helped with creating an eating program that made sure I was getting all of my calories and certain amounts of macros in every day. I give all the praise in the world to Jason for helping me start my lifting journey and helping me build my foundation that I still use to this day!”

“I had been lifting for a couple years before I started working with Jason. Within a couple training sessions, he had identified some mechanical issues I had when performing certain lifts. Because of these issues, I couldn’t even get into position to perform a conventional deadlift. Jason had me work on my mobility shortcomings, which really opened up many other doors for me in my training. I now own my own fitness clothing line, and have competed in a body building competition. It’s hard to believe I would be where I am at today if I didn’t have the opportunity to work with Jason. The guy knows his stuff!”

"As a new mom, it was hard trying to find time to train. I started training with Jason and was immediately impressed by his knowledge and passion for foundation. He did a consultation to figure out my range, where I was at, built a program tailored specific for me and my goals, and worked with my schedule. After a few weeks of training with him, I could start to see the impact of foundational work and getting more flexible. We then started to up the weight I was lifting while also incorporating cardio. His knowledge around form built my confidence to start lifting heavy. In 3 months I went from being able to deadlift 100lbs to 285lbs. I learned how to properly bench press, squat, plank and worked my way up to doing push-ups without having to be on my knees. Jason was patient but knew when to push me.

I can’t recommend Jason enough, he truly is passionate about this field of work and has the knowledge to back it up. I don’t think I would have ever reached these goals if it weren’t for him."

"My name is Gary and my story with Monster Strength and Jason began in November, 2023.  I was 58 years old and had just attended my late father's memorial and was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease on the same week.  My family wanted me to do something to address my hand tremor and the gate in my stride which came with my PD.  My specialist team felt it would be a great idea to offset my tremor with physical activity.  Enter Jason.

I worked with Jason every week over several weeks.  My sessions were split into upper and lower body work each session.  I had done work in the gym and had done cycling and hiking among my activities.  I didn't have a scheduled program and was a bit disorganized in the past with not a specific plan to make improvements.  Jason started with simple assessments designed to uncover where I could make incremental improvements.  Over the past few months, I learned better technique in what I can do to improve not only my strength but my mobility.  When I go to the gym now, I am more thoughtful in how I workout.  I know that Jason helped me understand how to integrate strength training into my everyday life.  I would strongly encourage anyone to work with Jason.  You can be young or a 59 year old(now) like myself and gain better insights into your health and how strength training can give better quality of life.  Thanks Jason!"

“I want to thank Jason so, so much for training me. He not only helped me physically, but mentally as well. As someone who suffers from RA, Jason coached me in a way that allowed my body to perform the exercises with no pain. I can't wait for my next rheumatology appointment to show my doctor how strong I've gotten and how much my mobility has improved. I really can't thank Jason enough for helping me find my second passion.”

“One of the smartest decisions I have made as an athlete is selecting Jason Dowden to be my strength coach. I have seen immense improvement in my physical performance over the course of the past few weeks. As a new lifter, my deadlift increased from 65 lbs to 215 lbs and my bench went from the bar (45 lbs) to 95 lbs. Jason’s instruction and guidance is the core reason for this improvement. Heavy focus was placed on learning proper form before raising weight, which has given me a strong base to build from.”
