In this episode, I sit down with Coach, Personal Trainer and Owner of Personal Trainer U, Jason Colley.

With 15 years of unwavering commitment to the fitness industry, Jason brings an exceptional blend of academic expertise and real-world knowledge to every client he serves. Born and raised in Chicago, Jason’s journey toward becoming a premier personal trainer was not only driven by academic excellence but also a passion for fitness. 

Jason has a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and Human Performance and Fitness from St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. This academic foundation provided him with an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of the human body, biomechanics, corrective exercise, and injury prevention, which he seamlessly integrates into his training approach.

The crown jewel of his career is PersonalTrainerU (PTU), a fitness institution where he serves as the Owner and Head Personal Trainer in Nashville. Here, his commitment to excellence shines through as he mentors curious minds, nurturing their growth and providing the best possible guidance to their clients and the future of personal training.
