Jared is a remarkable public speaker. I have had the opportunity to hear him speak multiple times and, each time, he has shown tremendous skill in communicating complex concepts in simple-to-understand terms. Jared is knowledgeable about the topics he discusses––namely, fitness, professional development, and personal growth––and I always look forward to events in which Jared speaks as I know I'll have the opportunity to learn and I am confident that others who have the opportunity to listen to Jared speak also feel the same way. I emphatically recommend retaining Jared for public speaking engagements.

Recently, we had Jared from Functional Integrated Training come in to our office to speak with our office staff about how fitness can make an impact. He shared, if you are consistent, motivated and willing to put in a small amount of time it can make a huge impact. Jared’s presentation was not only enlightening, but very engaging. He kept everyone’s attention by providing very valuable information on fitness. His presentation was so good, that every participant, gave him high marks. I highly recommend having Jared come in to your business to share his insights and knowledge to provide benefit for your team.
