Adam is an elite-level athlete having achieved podium finishes in triathlon races, the most notable being the USA Triathlon Regional Junior Long Course Champion. Having been an active youth, then competing at the collegiate level, the natural progression for Adam was to coach youth track and field. There he discovered that incorporating CrossFit methodologies and principles made his athletes stronger and faster with more stamina, and nearly bullet-proof when it came to injuries.

He and his wife Heather opened the doors of Oak Strength. Today, Adam is driven by the results the members of Oak Strength achieve and being entrusted with their faith in the program.

Growing up as an athlete, sports and fitness were always a part of Jenna’s life. It was not until several years after college that she got back into fitness and it soon became a staple in her life!

Along Jenna’s journey she came to realize that she also loved watching the athletes alongside her grow and accomplish their goals. Jenna loves to share her passion with others and watch them crush their goals and accomplish what they thought was impossible. Oak Strength has given Jenna the opportunity to grow as a coach and an athlete.

Andrew realized that his motivations for coaching is driven by maximizing people's health and performance. During his senior year in high school, his dad collapsed at work from an apparent heart attack. After some testing in the hospital, we found out on April 1st, 2008 that my dad had massive blockages in/near his heart and needed open heart surgery, ultimately ending with a Sextuple Bypass (yes, 6 bypasses). 

Andrew knowing what he knows now related to health, fitness, and performance, he realized that a poor lifestyle contributed to his dad's brush with death. So, Andrew’s ultimate goal is to provide the best knowledge and coaching related to movement, nutrition, and mindset to provide people the best opportunity to maximize their health and performance.
