Jax Liberty Fitness

Rick is simply the best strength training coach I could've ever hoped for. I've always known how important strength building is, but I've never felt as comfortable or as inspired before I met Rick. The off-putting culture of it all doesn't exist in Rick's space and you'll find yourself looking forward to training sessions just because Rick is a great person to be around. I haven't met a lot of personal coaches, but I would imagine that Rick's warmth and encouragement is unmatched. He genuinely cares about each of his students and you can 100% feel that. 10 out of 10 recommend as a coach and a friend.

How do I being to express my gratitude towards coach Rick NesSmith of Jax Liberty Fitness? He is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the art of strength training and it shines constantly through his coaching. Rick has helped shape me into the strongest version of myself and has shown me that I am capable of so much more than I ever thought possible. Upon meeting Rick, I had a basic foundation in strength training but through our work together he has assisted me in taking that knowledge and skill set to a whole new level. Because of his expert coaching I now feel better equipped to move towards my goals confidently and with a new found passion for strength training. Thank you!

Before finding Jax Liberty Fitness, I found myself spending most of my time enduring heavy cardio sessions at the gym or piecing together a "weightlifting" workout last minute. Rick, the owner at Jax Liberty Fitness, invested intentional time teaching me proper form and gradual weight increase under the barbell. After spending a few months training in-person with Rick, I can now go to the gym on my own - confident in what I need to do and in my ability to use the weight rack (and more!). I've recently moved out of the Jacksonville area but still take advantage of Rick's expertise through his virtual coaching option. Rick programs my workouts and reviews video of my form to ensure I'm staying on track. I highly recommend Jax Liberty Fitness and am so grateful!!!

Rick is passionate, professional, and positive. His focus on strength for health works! I’ve seen it myself! And his focus on safe and effective technique helped build my trust and kept me coming back. The gym isn’t fancy. But it’s everything you need and proof that results are all about doing the work. Even though we’ve moved away from Jacksonville—for now—I still consider Rick a coach and a friend. And try to visit Liberty Fitness whenever I go back.
