From the Bat t l e f i e l d to t h e Gy m LOCAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS GURU JASON SANTIAGO IS THE OWNER OF FITREV, A HIGH-QUALITY WORKOUT AND TRAINING FACILITY LOCATED IN HENDERSONVILLE. Throughout his life, he has overcome a lot of adversity that has helped shape him into becoming a highly-motivated fitness entrepreneur.

WHAT IS YOUR BACKGROUND? “I was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut in one of the rougher areas of town. After graduating from high school, I wanted to go to college, but I couldn’t get any scholarship money, and my mom couldn’t afford to send me. As a result, I decided to join the Army in order to earn the money to pay for college through the delayed entry program.

A couple of years later, I was stationed at Ft. Lewis in Washington and subsequently deployed to Iraq. After I returned from Iraq in 2003, I applied for flight school training to become a helicopter

Jason Santiago works out in his gym.

pilot. After finishing my training, I spent the next several years flying Blackhawk helicopters in a variety of different duty stations ranging from Egypt to Afghanistan.

During 2013, I was injured during my second deployment to Afghanistan. After I returned to the United States, I was able to retire from the Army after 16 years of service.

NEVER DOUBT JASON SANTIAGO

HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE FITNESS BUSINESS? “After retiring from the Army, I needed an outlet. I was used to serving others, and I knew that I wanted to keep helping people.

So, I started training people to improve their health and wellness. Initially, I started doing personal training and teaching group classes. After a while, I came to realize that I have a gift for training. I was able to book private training sessions at a rate that was higher than any other trainer.

Soon afterward, I decided it was time to open up my own gym, and I started FitRev in Hendersonville.”

It’s been that way my entire life. People doubted me when I joined the Army, when I decided to fly helicopters, when I earned my MBA and when I started my gym.

As a result, I began to struggle with my health and well-being. I began to take different medications to try to help with the symptoms, but they only got worse. After a while, I realized that I needed help, and I began to reach out for assistance.
