Hi there!
We're Jason Ackerman and Jason Fernandez.
We help Affiliate Owners and Coaches become the best in the world at what they do.
Jason Ackerman (CF-L4)
Jason is a four-time CrossFit affiliate owner (Albany CrossFit, CrossFit Soulshine, CrossFit Clifton Park and Best Hour CrossFit) with over 25-years’ experience in health and fitness. He rose through the ranks on the CrossFit seminar circuit to take a position as a Level 4 Trainer on the CrossFit seminar staff; an elite team of coaches who mentor aspiring trainers, CrossFitters and affiliate owners.
Jason graduated with a Masters in Psychology which has served to excel his natural aptitude in the art of coaching. Jason has helped thousands of people lose weight and create a healthier relationship with food. As a former competitive wrestler and bodybuilder, Jason not only knows how to achieve specific lean bodyweight and sports performance related goals, but he understands the psyche and mindset behind the process. Jason’s ability to empathize and connect personally with his clients is attributable to his own experiences and deep understanding of the psychology of nutrition.
DO THAT, BUT BETTER.
Jason Fernandez (CF-L4)
Jason is a Level 4 Trainer, the owner of CrossFit Rife in Virginia Beach, VA, a senior level CFHQ Seminar Staff instructor and Flowmaster on the CrossFit Level 1 and Level 2 circuit, has been a floor judge at the CrossFit Games for several years, and co-created the Best Hour of Their Day with colleague Jason Ackerman.
Jason is a huge advocate for professional development and helping educate our community! He runs a very organized, effective, and successful affiliate that pride themselves on the constant pursuit of excellence in self and others. Jason’s extensive experience as a business owner, coach, manager, father and husband, dramatically adds value to our program and community.
“I’m passionate about success. Success has many different forms and whatever that means to someone is what I’m passionate about. I love when someone tells me that they achieved a goal that they never thought possible.”
“Thank you for caring enough to help save our small business and others as well.”
-Randy Lauer, 3-46 GRIT CrossFit
