Jason Clarke – Conditioning Coach/Personal Trainer

The world of sports, fitness and training have always been present in the life of Jason Clarke. Ever since the first time he picked up a basketball in third grade, he has been running, riding, playing, and competing in some kind of sport .

While growing up in Annapolis, Maryland, Jason was a permanent fixture on his neighborhood basketball and tennis courts. Competing in high school and college basketball made him aware of the type of physical demands that one needs to put himself though to succeed. Jason started to develop a passion for serious training while getting his A.A in Physical Education at Anne Arundel C.C. and it carried over when he transferred to Towson University.

While attending classes at Towson University, Jason realized that he wanted to make physical fitness and personal training the main focus of his career. Jason completed his B.Sc. degree in 2004.

In the mid 1990's, Jason made a slow transition from the hardwood courts to the off-road world of mountain biking, trail running and adventure racing.

Jason served in the U.S. Army as an infantry/airborne soldier.

Jason currently resides in Hunt Valley, Maryland.

He is originally from and still resides in the Washington, D.C. area.
