Jared Markiewicz is the founder and CEO of Functional Integrated Training, Madison’s go-to strength and performance facility for people from all walks of life. Since opening in 2012, Jared has worked with a wide array of athletes including middle schoolers, collegiate and professional athletes, as well as adults – all looking to find the best version of themselves. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with emphasis in Exercise and Movement Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He’s also a Certified Personal Trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM-CPT), an Advanced Sport Performance Coach through USA Weightlifting, a Level 2 Functional Movement Screen Specialist, a certified IYCA High School Strength & Conditioning Coach, a Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach (PN1) and a golf fitness instructor through Titleist Performance Institute. Jared sits on the advisory board for the IYCA and is a professional member of both the National Strength and Conditioning Association and USA Weightlifting. He also loves to smile and make people happy, both inside and outside the gym. Having young daughters allows Jared to be a kid again himself, making him realize the need for the opportunity to feel young and playful. He feels everyone should make it a point to laugh HARD and do something fun every day, especially if it involves your spouse and kids! Jared enjoys spending quality time with a barbell, relaxing with a good book and qualifies himself a coffee, beer and bourbon snob.
