Jared Kallio, CSCS

Founder

This story goes way back to being an overly active kid that loved to play just about anything ranging from sports to video games. If there was a competitive aspect, I especially liked it! I loved being outside fishing, camping, riding my bike.

I played about every sport known to man except hockey (which I looked into). I still like to compete but most recently in Olympic Weightlifting where I plan to compete at a national level. I went to Nebraska Wesleyan with the idea that I would go into business administration but after taking the basic Health and Wellness gen. ed. class I was sure that this field was for me. I completed my B.S. in Exercise Science in 2004 and immediately became NSCA – CSCS certified in which I held for about 15 years before pursuing other certifications. Early in my career I wanted to be a strength coach…particularly at a large (Texas sized) high school where I could teach and coach. That changed after working at my brother’s chiropractic clinic in Colorado for almost two years. There I was able to experience the satisfaction of seeing a patient or client get out of pain and improve their general health. I moved back to Nebraska in 2007 when I got a job as an Exercise Specialist and Personal Trainer at York General. After about 8 years and a lot of encouragement from my clients I took the leap and opened RPE Strength & Fitness. Since May of 2015 we’ve been able to grow with our clients’ help and support. I have huge aspirations for our gym and our community and look forward to our growth in the future!

His most memorable moment was being best lifter at the 2007 USAPL North American Meet in Guatemala City, Guatemala! Jasen wanted to become a coach because he really loves working with new people and is excited to help you achieve your goals! He especially loves coaching clients that are learning weight training and has recently gained interest in Olympic Weightlifting.

State-of-the-Art Gym Equipment

We believe the best equipment is the kind that works with your body, not against it. That’s why we focus on free weights, kettlebells, dumbbells, and medicine balls-supported by elite conditioning tools like Rogue Echo bikes, Concept2 rowers, and Assault treadmills-to help members train hard, stay healthy, and keep showing up for years to come. Your coach will help you find what works best for you, every day of the week!

Unique Features and Facilities

Unlike traditional gyms, our facility is built around coaching-not just equipment. With 16 squat racks, ample open training space, and a coach present for every session, members never have to wonder what to do or if they’re doing it right. Our programming is structured, intentional, and scalable, allowing people of all fitness levels to train confidently in the same space. Choose one of our three “tracks” of training. Each of which prioritize movement quality and steady progress-so training stays effective and enjoyable long term.
