It gives purpose, goals and a drive to not only look better, but also feel better and be better. We call you to move because it leads to health, wellness, and life-fulfillment. It prepares you for the future and enables you to attack whatever life throws your way. Every second, every minute, every day we are either moving forward or backward; choose to progress.

Co-Owner of MOVE Austin Fitness (Austin, TX)
Coach Jarrod is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, Level 1 Sport Performance through the USAW, Crossfit Level 1 Certification, and Crossfit Gymnastics certification.
"I started with soccer and baseball. Then I picked up basketball and organized football. I played premier soccer and football through high school and college. During all of that, I have always found comfort in a weight room and gym and probably why I have gravitated to owning my own.
The following are some of the things I’m most proud of: Middle School Athlete of the year in 1998, helping my dad quit smoking, helping my mom drop 50lbs and finding the love of my life, Katy!
I graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Nutrition and Foods from Texas State University"

"In Mississippi I grew up playing on a traveling select soccer team. I wanted to beter my game and decided to participate in ODP (Olympic Development Program). I also played high school baseball and football. My junior and senior year in high school I was picked 1st team All Metro and 2nd team All State in football. I was picked to play in the Alabama/Mississippi All State Game in Mobile, AL. I went on to play college football at The University of Mississippi as a wide receiver.
After college I became an avid runner and began to train for marathons. I completed my first marathon (Austin) last year under the goal I had set which was 4hrs.
I have turned to bicycling since then due to the wear and tear that running can put on your body.
I also enjoy water sports and hiking the greenbelt.
I attended Ole Miss where I have a bachelor’s degree in Management & Marketing.
I work in the residential mortgage lending business with Mortgage IQ in Austin TX. I also work on the side as an actor."
