Editorial Summary

Why They Stand Out

"Jax Liberty Fitness in Avondale, FL, is a dedicated powerlifting and competitive strength facility equipped with competition-grade barbells, platforms, and racks. The coaching staff brings expertise in periodized programming and technique refinement for lifters at all levels. Observed strengths include a focus on progressive overload, safety protocols, and a supportive community. Uncompromising commitment to strength sport excellence with personalized coaching."

Community Feedback

"Rick is simply the best strength training coach I could've ever hoped for. I've always known how important strength building is, but I've never felt as comfortable or as inspired before I met Rick. The off-putting culture of it all doesn't exist in Rick's space and you'll find yourself looking forward to training sessions just because Rick is a great person to be around. I haven't met a lot of personal coaches, but I would imagine that Rick's warmth and encouragement is unmatched. He genuinely cares about each of his students and you can 100% feel that. 10 out of 10 recommend as a coach and a friend."

"Rick has been my strength coach for nearly a year and my progress with him has been wonderful as well as measurable. I am seeing results with consistency and patience… it’s hard work!! Rick is not intimidating and has been easy to work with (even though I sometimes can’t do what we hope!), he is extremely knowledgable and eager to share and help me in my fitness journey. Also, I love the environment at his gym, very low key, not intimidating at all… very homey. I just cannot recommend Rick highly enough."

"How do I being to express my gratitude towards coach Rick NesSmith of Jax Liberty Fitness? He is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the art of strength training and it shines constantly through his coaching. Rick has helped shape me into the strongest version of myself and has shown me that I am capable of so much more than I ever thought possible. Upon meeting Rick, I had a basic foundation in strength training but through our work together he has assisted me in taking that knowledge and skill set to a whole new level. Because of his expert coaching I now feel better equipped to move towards my goals confidently and with a new found passion for strength training. Thank you!"
