Jake Power: my first coach
Spent time incarcerated, upon release he worked hard to obtain his CPT License, started his own business,and created a second chance for himself through fitness. He is an inspiration to me and I believe Franklinton FIT can provide opportunities such as this for their formerly incarcerated community.
