Jake Steinfeld was a shrimpy Long Island native who had a major problem with stuttering. Moreover, Jake was terribly overweight as a child. Fortunately, thanks to excellent mentors and a steely determination, Jake was able to mold himself into a masterful fitness professional. He created a cottage industry out of professional fitness training and became one of the most popular fitness authorities in the world.

If you are interested in learning the techniques that Jake used to personally train the likes of George Lucas, Michael J. Fox, and Harrison Ford, you can purchase DVDs from his superior program. His motto 'Don't quit!' has been a rallying cry for thousands of out-of-shape Americans. In addition to recording his superior training regimens on DVD and cassette, Jake has crafted a professional lacrosse organization (Major League Lacrosse), committed large amounts of money to adolescent fitness centers in innercities, and supported Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Chairman of the CA Governor's Council on Physical Fitness.

Jake has produced a Body by Jake DVD on everything from cardiac workouts to post and prenatal workouts to yoga and sculpting. Jake is also a motivational speaker with a long record of successful engagements at universities and special foundations.

Body by Jake markets motivational DVDs to help out-of-shape and overweight individuals find the will to tackle their fitness issues. Jake's company, Body by Jake Global, also puts out fitness DVDs in Spanish and several other languages.
