“TL;DR: I have been with Jance for nearly eight years, and this place is truly life-changing. Even after moving across the country, I still train virtually with Jance and fly back when I can because there is simply no one better.

I first discovered 5 Rings via word of mouth -- like most people do -- because Jance's excellent reputation speaks for itself. As a highschooler living 5 hours away, I followed his educational content online and was impressed by everything I heard about his training. When I moved to Athens for college, I was excited to finally be close enough to check out his gym. At the time, I didn't even know what powerlifting was. I just thought I'd learn a few basic movements and move on with my life. I had no idea how much this would change my life.

From my very first session, Jance challenged everything I thought I knew about strength and fitness. It was overwhelming to realize I had spent years doing all the wrong things, but at the same time, he showed me what was possible with the right mentor and hard work. I still remember calling my parents afterward, in tears, because I knew this was going to be life-changing.

And it was. I can’t imagine my life without 5 Rings. Since starting, I’ve gained 15–20 pounds of muscle, nearly tripled my squat and deadlift, more than doubled my bench, and even set state powerlifting records—things I never thought possible! But more than the physical progress, this gym has given me a sense of community that adds so much meaning to my life.

I’ve trained with Jance through countless ups and downs in my life, but I’ve always made net progress. He combines years of experience with a constant drive to keep learning and refining his craft. His coaching is personalized to each client, whether they’re true beginners or national-level athletes (most of whom started here with zero experience). The gym itself is a welcoming, family-friendly environment for all levels and ages.

All throughout college, I drove an hour each way, 3–5 times per week, just to train here. Three years ago, I moved across the country for medical school, but I still train with Jance virtually and fly back when I can. That’s how much I believe in this place. I’ll be here for as long as they'll have me.“
