Coach TJ and Jess have been a phenomenal support throughout my fitness journey. When I started training about 3 years ago, I had no idea how different a person I would have become through fitness and exercise. TJ has taught me so much about the dynamics of exercise, continually pushes me to challenge myself, praises me when I kick ass, and gives me pep talks when I need them. TJ and Jess are very good at telling you what you NEED to hear (not what you want to hear) and doing it with care and compassion. Everyday I train with them I walk away feeling more confident, even if I am having a bad day.
TJ also works with me to develop an appropriate exercise plan suited to my own goals. As an aerialist, I need to focus on core strength and flexibility to achieve certain poses and drops for competitions and shows. I know without TJ, I would not be as far along in my journey.
I highly recommend 4F Coaching to anyone! Whether it’s for fitness, nutrition, or just lifestyle, TJ and Jess have the tools to help you improve many aspects of your life. They value community, hard work, self-responsibility, faith, and family. No other gym I’ve trained at before has been so encompassing. So if you are looking for a fitness coach/trainer, give them a try. You won’t regret it!
Evern (my husband) had his first official appointment with TJ & Jess at 4F training. We have known them for years - friends then turned family really.
Evern had 3 major spine surgeries within a 3 month period and has not been able to live a “normal” quality of life for almost a year. It has greatly affected his physical and mental health and he was ready to get back on track after getting the all clear from his surgeon.
Evern went over to the gym, and by the time he got home, TJ had text us his food plan, exercise routine, current physical breakdown (weight/bmi/etc) and expectations. Although we are close friends and we knew what they did for work, we never realized how “in depth” personal training was and how it extends out much more than just showing up to the gym and lifting weights. Everything was tailored specifically to Everns success and presented in a way that was understandable to the client, which was nice. It wasn’t overwhelming and made us both feel like the goals set were not only achievable but maintainable.
We are looking forward to learning from TJ and Jess and watching 4F evolve and change others lives, like they are doing ours.
Hands down two of the Best Fitnesses and Health Coaches in the industry! I can not speak Highly Enough about 4F Coaching. Passion, Faith and Strength are a few traits I have found working with 4F Coaching. Look no further! I recommend calling today for a better you tomorrow, I did.
Coach Jess is exactly the trainer I need! She understands my busy mom life, my level of fitness needed, and has a clear vision on where we are headed. She has identified problem areas for us to focus on so I can work on muscle imbalances, plus areas I would like to improve in to achieve the physique I'm looking for. I highly recommend 4F Coaching to get the personalized results you want!
Started training with TJ. A man dedicated to his craft. A man of his word.
4F has been extremely helpful on getting my goals back in order. With a busy life TJ makes time to get our sessions in. He coaches on more than the fitness part, he has helped with wrangling in my nutrition and got me on some great supplements. Looking forward to the future of training at 4F. New location coming soon and with the support and dedication that TJ and Jess show it’s going to be a great place to work out. Well worth the investment!
Over the past year and a half I've trained with 4F coaching and Coach TJ is the most amazing, knowledgeable and driven coach I've ever had. I've seen major improvements in my overall fitness and health ever since I've started working with them. I really love the personal approach taken with my training and the attention to my specific body type and goals. I have never felt like I was on some blanketed program. Everything has been made to fit me and where I am at each step of my journey. There is no doubt in my mind I wouldn't be where I am today in this life long journey if it wasn't for the expertise and just overall care taken by TJ to make the most out of every session we've had together. I'm a client of the 4F family for life!
TJ and Jess have been awesome people and coaches through my entire time knowing them. Not only do they coach you well in fitness but also in life perspectives as well. They genuinely want the best for their clients and friends alike. Love it here 💪🏾
Words will never be enough to express how grateful I am to have found Coach Jess and 4F Coaching. Coach Jess has helped me in ways I could never repay. When I first started my fitness journey, I had a small understanding of what I needed to do, Jess pushed me to create the plan and actually act on it. She’s helped build my confidence in my own capabilities and silence the parts of me that tell myself I can’t. From helping me advocate with my doctors through what felt like crippling health setbacks, to celebrating the small but significant overcomings. Jess never gave up on me and never let me give up on myself. 4F Coaching comes with more than just fitness instructors. Get you a 4F Coach. You won’t regret it.
I have had the pleasure of knowing the 4F family for several years and I am so excited the gift they’ve given me can now be shared with a broader audience. They are truly the best and care deeply for their clients. They go above and beyond living up to: Faith, Family, Fitness and Freedom! Give them a try! You won’t regret it!
When I got started with 4F Coaching, Jessica tapped into everything that shaped me as far as who I was. Where tears rolled down my face and sense of relief filled my lungs. As I thought to myself wow this woman is REAL and cares about me as a whole. Not just to add a client to her schedule but so I could make REAL changes. She listened not to respond but to hear my habits, my injuries and where I was at mentally. Little did I know I would fall in love with the whole family. TJ who is also a trainer, shared tips and stories and words of encouragement. To just having her beautiful daughters cheer me on as I sweat. This is more than coaching, it’s family structured with realistic fitness goals. Along with the freedom to be who you are at any stage of your fitness journey and life period. I’ll be forever grateful for the knowledge , non scale victories and the family I am now apart of. I can’t even describe the passion and devotion they each pour into each client each session, ITS PRICELESS! Thank you 4F coaching.
Myself and my husband have been clients for a while now. We went into this journey with little to no experience and knowledge. We may still be at the first leg of this journey but they have helped us learn what we need to be optimized, learn our bodies, fuel our bodies, listen to our bodies and even rest our bodies. The non scale victories are the biggest victories. 80/20 lifestyle eating more food then I ever have and feeling better then I ever have. 14 years of a desk job with extreme low back fatigue and pain and plantar fasciitis ---> in five months I have become so much stronger I no longer suffer from these aliments holding me back, my posture is so much better and I have ZERO pain. Keeping up with two young kids and very outdoorsy lifestyle. My body is an asset and is worth the investment. So much more then coaching its a family and a community. I also have found a LOVE to lift, and my oldest son with sensory integration disorder has found much relief with some of the exercise equipment we have added to our home (approved by his therapist) Blessings all around. Thank you 4F coaches for being a leader of lifestyle.
Incredibly professional and friendly
With their training and dedication to my success as their client I was able to find new wings.
Thank you Jess, thank you TJ. God bless you guys!
I've considered driving from Everett to go to them considering the level of quality help you will get.
Coach TJ and Coach Jess are amazing people and have help me through so much! Their program is truly amazing. I went to them to lose weight but that wasn't the only thing that happened. I made made some wonderful friends that helped me achieve my goals beyond measure! I truly recommend going to them for helping you accomplish and conquer your goals!
This isn't a normal gym. This is where you go to change your life back to what you want it to be. I've been going to this gym the last 5 months, i've lost 75 pounds and counting from March to December of 2022. I'm up seven pounds in muscle. My health has drastically improved. Its been 10 plus years since i've felt this good about myself. If you are wanting to get back that old awesome body you used to have, this is the gym you need to be going to. You will get results.
Two of the most honest and knowledgeable coaches I’ve meet. Will find ways to help you improve you and not just a copy and paste plan. Genuinely care about each and everyone they work with and want them to hit every goal you set.
These guys are awesome! Jess really helped me find a love for fitness and the values these guys have are incredible. They really care for everyone and the 4F message.
In late March of 2022 I collapsed at work. I wasn’t in great health. My commitments to my businesses were a higher priority than my health. The years of three unhealthy meals a day from fast food and other unhealthy restaurants have caught up to me. After eating and drinking some water I was able to function enough to head to the doctor’s office. I was told that my 350 pound body was pre-diabetic and suffering other nasty health issues. I needed to make some changes, or I feared my family of seven would become six and loose their primary breadwinner.
I’d remembered that the prior year I had met this incredible family by chance at a restaurant. TJ and his girlfriend Jess and I hit it off and we became quick friends that evening. We talked fitness, life, relationships, and drive to be our very best selves. Even though I had become very successful professionally, I’d yet to apply that same discipline to my health and wellness. That needed to change. I messaged Coach TJ: “What can 4F do for me?”
I continued, “I’m struggling to find the motivation in weight loss. I’ve gained about 150 pounds since I’ve gotten married. I’ve gained about 75 pounds in the last three years. I’m the CEO of a company and struggle to find the time and motivation to work out. But I’ve got to do something. Really starting to see negative effects on my health.” He promptly replied back and we had a consultation appointment two days later. We talked working out, nutrition, and evaluated my starting fitness level. It wasn’t pretty, but it was a start. As in poor of shape as I was in, I couldn’t thank that guy enough for making a change. It was uncomfortable. It was new. But it was all necessary.
We began three weightlifting sessions a week. I was sore, but felt fantastic. Before too long I started feeling my strength improve. My clothes feeling looser. My biceps getting larger. My willingness to have my activity level increase. My wantonness to watch my nutrition. And I was making changes for the future. This wasn’t a fad diet or temporary change. I tracked macros and goals to hit every day and every week. Making everything manageable in bite sized easy to digest chunks. Changes that were repeatable for the rest of my life. All along the way, Coach TJ was there for me. Answering whatever questions I had. Increasing my weights as necessary. Building my training plan from start to finish. Holding me accountable with my nutrition.
The weight began to fall off. Not in an unsafe temporary way either. Changes for a lifetime. 2-3 pounds a week. Week in and week out. Sure I wanted those biggest loser results, the 12 pounds lost in a week type of results. But those results don’t stick. Those biggest loser contestants don’t have much of a history for keeping the weight off. I needed a change for life, and got it.
From April to the beginning of October I lost nearly 40 pounds. I felt so much better and got noticed everywhere. Things were working out great. And as great as it was, I wanted a new challenge. I was introduced to 75 Hard from Coach TJ. A program meant to challenge your discipline. A skill that was improving, but needed to continue to make large improvements in order to reach my goals. I desperately needed this mental toughness challenge. It’s 75 days straight of two forty-five minute workouts a day (1 of which has to be outside), gallon of water a day, 10 pages read of a self development book, take a progress picture, follow a diet, no cheat meals, and no alcohol. No days off. No substitutions or deviations to the program. And if you don’t do one of the tasks in a day, you fall back to day 1 of the program and start all over. It’s a pass or fail challenge meant to test you to your core. It was like steroid shot of discipline over 75 grueling days.
It was not easy by any means, they lie to you about it being hard. There are lots of days you don’t want to work out, let alone twice in a day. Alcohol sure sounds nice some days, those temptations don’t go away. But your discipline to defer that gratification sure increases. Before long I started tearing through books, I read more books on this challenge than I did in the previous 15 years. I worked out in the rain, the wind, the freezing temperatures, the 90 degree days, and the freezing rain days. It all got easy as my discipline to follow through increased. That skill that so many of us wished came easy, but because it is hard makes it worth it. I completed the challenge Christmas eve, and after ditching the scale for most of the program, I checked in and found that I had lost another 34 pounds. Nearly 75 pounds down since I started working out the beginning of April. An incredible feeling of accomplishment. I spent the entire week between Christmas and new years getting compliments everywhere I went for the very noticeable difference in my physique.
I’m more disciplined than I’ve ever been in my life. I’m in the best shape I’ve been in for a very long time. My family has joined suit and has begun working out and watching their nutrition. I’ve changed the trajectory of not only myself but my entire family by the way they approach working out and nutrition. Not forced either, I set the example and they followed me. An incredible change for the future of my family. I can’t thank TJ and Jess enough for their friendship and dedication to me and my better self. The very least I can do is share my experience in hopes that it propels another person whose looking for the same type of journey.
That is what 4F did for me….. in just nine months. This is absolutely what 4F can do for you. It’s time to get disciplined. It’s time for you to join the 4F mission, to not only change your future, but your family’s future as well.
Are you intimidated by the big name gyms, and the crowded machines, not sure what to do, or how to do certain movements? You won't get that feeling here. The owners will know you by name, will make you feel at home and teach, and guide you to your health and fitness goals. Spend 5 minutes talking to TJ and Jess and you'll see their passion, and you'll be all in. Don't take my word for it, go in there and see for yourself. 4F Coaching is the real deal, and the future of health and fitness.
For example, I have bad hips. I’ve already had one hip surgery and will be having plenty more in the future. TJ builds my workouts around those limitations to help recover and strengthen the muscles around my hip impingements and arthritis. He and Jess both can do that for you too, no matter what history of injuries you may have.
If your looking for somewhere to train on your own, this is still the perfect place. They have three squat racks, three separate dumbbell racks and other equipment that many gyms in the area don’t have. All purposely placed for a member to get their workout in and not feel crowded.
Again, if personal, one on one coaching is what you need, then 4F coaching is where you need to be!
4F has been extremely helpful on getting my goals back in order. With a busy life TJ makes time to get our sessions in. He coaches on more than the fitness part, he has helped with wrangling in my nutrition and got me on some great supplements. Looking forward to the future of training at 4F. New location coming soon and with the support and dedication that TJ and Jess show it’s going to be a great place to work out. Well worth the investment!
