Hi, I’m Jake Mauermann, a personal trainer based in Portland, Oregon, passionate about helping clients of all backgrounds unlock their full athletic potential. I graduated from Corban University in 2012 with a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and a minor in Health Science. During my time at Corban, I played basketball for four years, which laid the foundation for my approach to training—focused on strength, discipline, and resilience.
Today, I’m also a competitive sand volleyball player, and that competitive spirit drives my training philosophy. Whether you’re an athlete or someone simply looking to improve their fitness, I believe in creating personalized programs that are balanced and sustainable, with an emphasis on building strength, flexibility, and overall athleticism.
I train at PDX Fitness Zone, where I work with a diverse range of clients—ranging from athletes to individuals who may not be training for a specific sport, as well as those recovering from injuries or managing physical limitations. I’m dedicated to combining my knowledge of injury prevention with a strong focus on rehabilitation and prehab to ensure clients train safely while progressing toward their fitness goals.

About Me:
​
​
My journey in fitness began at an early age, shaped by my love for sports and my commitment to training. Growing up as an athlete, I played basketball throughout college, which not only developed my physical abilities but also taught me the importance of discipline, teamwork, and pushing past limits. Now, as a competitive sand volleyball player, I understand firsthand what it takes to stay at the top of my game, and I bring that same dedication and mindset into my training approach.
After earning my degree in Exercise Science and Health Science from Corban University in 2012, I initially pursued a career in physical therapy. However, my passion for personal training soon took over, allowing me to combine my knowledge of rehabilitation with the practical aspects of athletic performance. This shift has allowed me to work with clients of all backgrounds—whether you're an athlete looking to improve your performance, someone without a sport-specific goal, or someone recovering from injury or managing physical limitations.
At PDX Fitness Zone, I train individuals both 1-on-1 and in group classes. My approach to training includes a balanced mix of strength, flexibility, cardio, speed, plyometrics, and core conditioning—tailored to each client's unique needs. I believe that creating sustainable fitness programs is key, which is why I emphasize a holistic approach to strength-building, injury prevention, and long-term health.
My mission is simple: to help you bring out your inner athlete and build a strong, resilient body—no matter your background or fitness goals. Let's work together to unlock your full potential!
