JD’s 38 inch Single Leg Box Jump
We are all so fortunate to have JD’s excellent instruction and guidance at the IC everyday (often beginning at 5:45am). Some of you may not know that prior to his athletic career at the IC, he was a Cal Berkeley football player and also a pro skateboarder. JD can still do many of the amazing feats of strength/power he performed at that time.
To celebrate our sparkly new IC website, we asked JD to jump start its debut. Enjoy! HUGE thanks to Brian and Lisa Meckler for redesigning both the IC site and blog. It was no small undertaking and they worked very hard behind the scenes to make it happen!
JD- you always amaze us! The web site looks wonderful, congratulations!
JD is so awesome.
Wow JD that is amazing. I’m guessing that this kind of strength/balance isn’t common amongst your average football player… are you sure you weren’t a gymnast or something in a past life? We are lucky to have you as a trainer!
Big thank yous go to Lisa and Brian for designing / developing the new website. They even missed Saturday Core class to get this up in time! It’s still a work in progress as we gather more content and keep this fresh.
Maybe someone can bring a skateboard to class and we can have him do some tricks. The kid is pretty sick (no pun intended).
JD you’re amazinG! I miss you guys! love the new website
we’ve got all different sizes of skateboards! we’ll bring some this week.
JD, this is just another reason to adore you. You never talk about the incredible things you can do–instead, all you give us is your heart and positive energy week after week. I’m so impressed by mature young men like you, Dado, and Kenny. You may work with the IC professionally, but you also inspire me as a parent of a young son.
Thank you Brian and Lisa for pouring your technical and creative genius into our new site. Just love you guys!
Brian, Lisa, kudos on the new website!
I agree with Maya. JD never talks about the incredible things that he can do. He is incredibly modest. Instead, he always finds ways to encourage us or praise us for the work that we just put in at Boot Camp, Core , or IS. We’re blessed to have JD as a trainer at the IC!
JD – How is that you can always make IC members feel like we’re the ones who are the incredible athletes? It’s your Jedi mind trick. On top of that, the kids completely adore you. My son fully believes you are there just for the kids, despite my telling him that you’re actually a trainer for adults.
Thanks for the comments. The IC community is such an integral part of our lives and our happiness that helping out on this site doesn’t feel like work at all.
I witnessed this in real time. Unbelievable. JD is a great coach, trainer and just an all around good guy. Respect.
Thx, Lisa & Brian!
Great work on the website it looks fabulous!!
I heart JD!!!!
I had no idea he was a PRO skateboarder. I think he may have made some offhanded comment that he “used to skateboard….” But PRO, never.
OK JD, time to ‘fess up. What the heck else have you done?
Brilliant new site Lisa and Brian!
Jonathan, nicely done! That’s just a little bit too crazy… you’re awesome! Thanks for sharing your talent, strength and inspiration with all us “commoners” Your ability to focus and inspire goes beyond your years – thank you. And Mecklers! Beautiful job – I know a lot of work went into this w. your collaborators Maya and Steve. Happy Launching!
Hot stuff.
Maya – I could NOT agree more. JD is such a class act and so modest. He is the best. He does an excellent job watching out for me when my form gets jacked up. And, Joe loves him, so that means he’s pretty much perfect;-)
Holy Moly JD! That’s a secret superpower!
sick ups JD!!
Hey – Big thanks to everyone for the comments it means a lot, you know the IC is great because of all of you members! I’m very fortunate that I am around people like you guys…Thanks again.
Great work on the website Lisa and Brian it looks great!

love the new look on the website Lisa and Brian, fantastic job!!!
Very cool…JD. Looks super-human.
Thnx for your support and encouragement in Boot Camp.
