Tidewater Fitness

When I started my fitness journey, I found that my biggest roadblocks were just getting started. Understanding what I needed to do to reach my goals and staying consistent. I also felt like I was not getting results fast enough, which was frustrating, particularly when the numbers on the scale went the wrong way.nJarred at Tidewater Fitness really helped with all of that. He worked with me to develop a weekly plan of nutrition targets and exercise habits that were easy to comprehend and fun for me to complete. Also, through weekly accountability check-ins Jarred helped me stay positive and on track. When there were weeks that I didn’t hit a goal or target, Jarred was there to help me stay focused on the end game. He helped me understand that changes do not happen overnight. And instead of chastising me when I had a setback (and there were many!), he made me feel better about them, which gave me the confidence I would need to refocus. He also helped answer the many questions I had about fitness, nutrition, and at times, he helped explain how even though life can sometimes interfere with our goals, those moments are temporary, and my goals are still obtainable.nTidewater Fitness no doubt has made my life better. Jarred has helped change the way I think about what is possible and to not be so hard on myself. It is clear now, thanks to Tidewater Fitness, that my journey doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be started. If there is a bump in the road, that is okay, just keep going. Tomorrow is always a new day that will bring me closer to my goal!nWorking with Tidewater Fitness has helped me loose over 20 pounds!!! But more importantly than the weight I think, is the knowledge, understanding, and confidence I gained through our time. I will forever be grateful. Thank you Jarred. Thank you, Tidewater Fitness. 10 Stars!!!!!

Prior to working out with Jarred at Tidewater fitness, I struggled with core strength and proper techniques/body mechanics for doing basic daily tasks. This weakness, combined with fear of injury, kept me from getting out and doing not only the necessary things in life but also the fun things. I have worked with Jarred for over two years now. He has patiently and methodically increased my strength, flexibility and confidence. It has dramatically improved my ability to perform daily activities and my sports pursuits. I have recommended him to many of my friends. Can't say enough good things about Tidewater Fitness and Jarred English!

I've always been an extremely active person, but as I got older I realized walking, biking, kayaking weren't enough to maintain the muscle strength I wanted and was actually losing. The individualized coaching with Jarred has been the key to creating a weight training habit and developing the strength I want. He's beyond professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. His facility is clean and comfortable. COVID19 forced a pause on our in person training sessions and he quickly provided an at home alternative via the Trainerize app. My training program was individualized and doable at home, making it easy to keep up with the progress we had made. I highly recommend Tidewater Fitness and Jarred!

My biggest struggle with weightloss was consistency and lack of intrinsic motivation. I couldn't stick with exercise let alone healthy eating habits. I was so frustrated and stressed with major late night cravings. It was affecting me mentally, I just wasn't strong enough to overcome. My stomach was my biggest focus area. Jarred's program helped because he kept it simple and he even sends reminders. He asked me to keep two new habits and that was all I had to focus on. I feel empowered now; over defeating cravings and I feel set free from the vicious cycle. In just 90 days I've lost 11 pounds and my waist has decreased by 2 3/4 inches. I definitely recommend him because he wants to see you succeed, he is patient, kind, and flexible with your schedule. Let Jarred help you!

Very professional and knows the science and correct techniques.nI trained with Jared for about a year after have trained many personal trainers before. I learned quite a few new stretches, exercises and techniques because of his passion for how the body all works together. I highly recommend checking if our for yourself if you are a novice at weight training and just want to get stronger or an athlete needing more structure.
