About Jake Novak

Jake Novak is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with 12 years of experience training everyone from D1 athletes to desk-bound dads. As Discrevolt's physical performance lead, Jake writes about building a body that's not just aesthetic — but functional, resilient, and built to last.

Background

Jake grew up in rural Pennsylvania, played linebacker at Penn State, and earned his CSCS before opening his own training facility in Austin, Texas. He's trained 500+ clients, competed in powerlifting, and recovered from a serious back injury that changed his approach from "lift everything" to "lift smart."

Areas of Expertise

• Strength training and progressive overload
• Injury prevention and mobility
• Bodyweight and home gym programming
• Athletic performance for weekend warriors

Philosophy

Jake believes the gym should make your life better, not consume it. His programs are designed for men with jobs, families, and 45-minute windows — not professional athletes with unlimited time.

"Strong enough to carry your kids, move your furniture, and still play pickup basketball at 50."
