Jeff Yeager began doing business as Body by Yeager in 1994, but the real beginning goes back almost 40 years.
Jeff Yeager is a multi-certified personal trainer and a martial artist. He began a serious weight training program when he was 12 years old under the guidance of an all natural bodybuilder who went on to be the head instructor for the San Diego Police Department.
At the age of 14, Jeff began taking on students of his own, teaching friends from the neighborhood what he had learned. By high school graduation, Yeager was responsible for many outstanding physiques and had prepared
several people for various fitness tests. While attending college (later going on to be a Summa Cum Laude graduate) Jeff was sought after to be an instructor in the gym that he worked out in. At the age of 17 he began working at Holiday Spas.
Jeff’s innate ability to understand the uniqueness of each person quickly led him away from the “one size fits all” approach to program design that was in use at the club at the time (and is still typical of many health clubs today). Yeager knew at this early age, both instinctively and from his lust for knowledge of strength and bodybuilding, that what worked for one person wasn’t necessarily the best approach for another. He began implementing personally designed programs based on his own assessment of each individual. The unannounced birth of personal training.
Fueled by his passion to help others get fit and stay healthy, Jeff spent the next 15 years expanding his knowledge in exercise, nutrition and natural health.
In 1990 and 1991 Jeff traveled to Chicago to be educated and certified by The National Academy of Sports Medicine. He is also among the few to receive a Gold Certification from the American Counsel on Exercise.
Jeff has worked in many clubs on Long Island including Holiday Spas, Jack LaLanes, Greg Buttles, Hollywood Health Club and Sportset in RVC.
In 1994 Body by Yeager was born and it’s proud owner continues to gain knowledge and help his clients achieve their health and fitness goals.
Jeff introduced youth fitness training in 2004 and began his first annual Body by Yeager - Kids Summer Fitness Camp in 2005. The Youth After School Fitness Program was the next evolution and continues today.
The Body by Yeager Teen Fitness Advantage is the latest endeavor for Jeff to help share the benefits of an active and healthy lifestyle, to enhance sports performance and to ward off the epidemic of weakness and obesity being brought upon us by the new electronic age. The Teen Fitness Advantage is here to bridge the gap between youth and adult fitness.
Jeff lives and loves the active lifestyle he teaches. Jeff was a high school athlete, a semi-pro ball player and an all natural competitive bodybuilder. He is a musician, a good swimmer, an avid skater, a talented archer, an expert skier, a martial artist and a kickboxer.
