ABOUT US
MISSION STATEMENT
At Nation Training we want to empower athletes through personalized strength and conditioning coaching while fostering a Christ-centered approach to excellence, discipline and character building.
Jacob and Kamryn’s story began in Eugene, Oregon, where they met in high school after Kamryn helped Jacob pass a math class he had no business being in. What started as tutoring quickly became a friendship — and that friendship grew into a lifelong partnership.
Both grew up playing sports — Kamryn in soccer and basketball, Jacob in football and baseball — and went on to study Exercise Science at Western Oregon University.
In 2022, they got married and took a leap of faith — packing up their truck and moving to Fort Worth, Texas ready to build a new life from the ground up.
Training for them is about a lot more than athletic performance — it’s about building relationships, mentoring young athletes, and helping them grow in character and confidence. Outside the gym, the two enjoy snowboarding, spending time with friends, and serving in youth ministry at their church — something that’s shaped who they are and how they lead.
Their journey has been anything but ordinary, but it’s been full of purpose — grounded in faith, built on friendship, and driven by a desire to invest in the next generation.

Jacob is excited to grow his love for training athletes and clients in the South Fort Worth/Burleson area of Texas.
Kamryn is a passionate and dedicated coach as she is driven by her passion and genuine care to every athlete she works with.
