About Push Forward Be Better


Meet Jae Burgess, a resilient athlete whose journey from adversity to triumph is nothing short of inspiring. Jae discovered his passion for fitness while cycling through the bustling streets of NYC.

Jae's life took an unexpected turn in 2013 when he was hit by a van during his daily commute. The impact left him with injuries to his knees, hips, spine, shoulders, and neck, and doctors doubted he would ever cycle, walk, or run without pain or support.

Undeterred by the lack of support from his medical team, Jae took matters into his own hands. Determined to regain control of his body, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery and knowledge acquisition. As a devoted father, Jae saw his recovery as not just a personal mission but a commitment to leading an active lifestyle with his family.

In a remarkable turnaround, Jae defied the odds, recovering in just a few years and freeing himself from the need for supportive gear. A living testament to the power of resilience and dedication, he became an embodiment of the belief that we can all push forward and be better than we were yesterday.

Since 2020, Jae runs a minimum of 62 miles (100 kilometers) each month and has conquered multiple Spartan Trifecta races, relying on his unique training protocols and programs. Not stopping at physical fitness, he transformed his nutritional habits, embracing a vegetarian lifestyle to optimize his well-being.

Jae's passion extends beyond his personal journey; he's on a mission to empower others to enhance their fitness, health, and overall well-being. Armed with certifications as a Personal Trainer, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Nutrition Specialist, and Corrective Exercise Specialist, Jae is your dedicated guide on your fitness and wellness journey.

Join Jae Burgess in embracing a life where effort transforms into progress, and each day is an opportunity to push forward and be better than before. Let him equip you with the knowledge and confidence to take charge of your life through fitness and nutrition. Your journey to a healthier, stronger you starts here.
