Your health

I started training with Jorden in 2019 and I can't believe the difference it's made in my life. I first started the process because I wanted to improve aesthetics, and while that noticeably happened, it was more of a byproduct of optimizing my lifestyle. I started off similar to many trainees: learning about the building blocks in nutrition and calorie cycling, training and progressive overload/adaptation.

The difference maker for me was the often overlooked areas of hydration, sleep quality, stress/anxiety, and the mental blockers that prevent people from establishing a long term healthy lifestyle. I've been able to manage a very hectic professional and personal schedule, complete with constant travel, and still maintain a healthy physique and a good balance in my sanity and fitness journey.

Just learning about the stress impact in my professional life and the link to the physical condition of the body (higher blood pressure, decreased gym performance, lack of mental focus) was important. Jorden’s approach was so specific to my health that he would change workouts or other protocols almost immediately based on feedback from the data.

This was important for me because the adaptive training prevented injury, helped me manage my lifestyle in a healthy way, but most importantly it prevented burnout. Jorden’s approach has helped me develop long term habits that have improved my mental acuity at work, my general physical health, and my energy levels for spending more time with family after long days at the office.

Jorden helps maximize ROI for my time in the gym. His workout plans are custom tailored. He keeps me focused on doing the right things. I still have to do the heavy lifting, but it's great to have a capable coach and accountability partner. He takes a holistic approach to building strength and optimizing health. Highly recommended.

When I started with Jorden I was lost and confused about how to get started losing weight. I was 220lbs and 28.6% body fat. Jorden helped me understand how to eat properly and get a balance of macronutrients. He also emphasized consistency over drastic changes to diet and exercise. At the end of the four month program I was 196lb and 16.2% body fat. Ultimately I'm the one that had to do the hard of work of changing my relationship with food but Jorden was crucial in helping me reach my goals by holding me accountable and always being available to answer questions.

Lots of coaches will give you a plan to lose weight or gain muscle. Jorden goes beyond that and considers the entire person and what's going on in their lives. It's going beyond body composition and getting to true health and that will add years to your life in addition to helping you look better. I love working with Jorden.

My number one goal was to start eating healthier on a daily basis (for the most part). With Jordan's help, I was able to look at food that was more beneficial to my every day life. I valued adding more protein, fats, and the right amount of carbs into my meals. I just felt better overall. I had more energy, I was sleeping better, and had more motivation. I still went to parties and went out to dinner. You can't eat perfect every single day. But eating better the other days of the week, allowed me to enjoy those special times with friends and family. Jordan was available whenever you had questions or concerns. The weekly check-in’s really helped me stay on track!

I've worked with Jorden for over 3 years now and what stands out most is his commitment to long-term health & results, no gimmicks.

I'm in my 50's now and still seeing gains guys half my age obtain. Given my demanding schedule running multiple business & monthly travel requirements, Jorden stays in front of the demands of your personalized plan and guides you through the maze of training updates & macro requirements, starting from where you currently are, but with an emphasis on long-term results, all the while monitoring your day to day health.

Jorden's greatest trait is he listens to what the client's needs are, then works diligently with you on a personal plan to get there. He’s done the research, applies what he knows and follows through with you to the end.

If you stay committed, and provide feedback each week, he will respond with equal dedication. This is not typical for most online training programs For that reason alone, I would highly recommend Jorden. You will see results and he cares.

My number one goal, like many people is to lose weight but my biggest challenge was being efficient with my time. I have a demanding job that since the pandemic, I spend most of my days strapped to my desk on Zoom. I enjoy working out, so that was never an issue, but I wasn't sure if my workouts were effective. I also felt pretty run down.

Jorden helped me manage stressors. If I had a few minutes or a gap in my schedule, I would go for a quick walk. Sometimes it was just 15 minutes and other times they were much longer. It allowed me to get out of the house, get some sun, and get a little movement in (I enjoy my workouts not being the only time of movement I get).

Jorden gave me some great workouts which were 35-45 minutes. It did not require me to carve out a whole hour to get a good workout in. His tempo lifts were a game changer. I started to see results in my arms pretty immediately. I was even getting complements! I was also able to increase my squat weight pretty significantly because of the tempo work we had done. I was someone that also thought you just always had to do more in the gym. Jorden taught me the importance of rest (whether it was between sets or literally rest days and sleeping). And if I have to skip a workout because I am traveling, tired, or not feeling good, it is not the end of the world.

Jorden really emphasizes bloodwork, which shows how thorough he is. Part of the reason I was feeling down was my testosterone and estrogen hormone levels were very low. I also had low Vitamin D. Without that bloodwork I probably would have still felt rundown no matter what Jorden and I tried.

Our first three months, I did not lose "a lot" of weight. But overall, I just felt better and not run down. And I was getting compliments on how I looked from friends and family, despite what the scale says. Jorden has shown me time and time again the scale is a metric, but not THE metric. Health is much more holistic than what the scale says. So understanding that my hormones were low, managing stress, lightening the load of my workouts, and focusing on rest made me simply feel better. It is amazing what you can do when you feel good!

Getting a coach who is detail-oriented like Jorden is important. There's more to fitness than losing weight and looking good. You need to be healthy. Having someone that understands fitness AND health can be a great tool. It allows you to collaborate with someone who will help you achieve your goals. Jorden is in it for the long haul. Nothing is short-term with him because health is not short-term.

I started working with Jorden Pagel in May of 2019. I had just ended PT for a small back operation and would be needing hip surgery in the near future. I didn’t know anything about a proper lifestyle that involved work, training, eating correctly, and supplements. Jorden quickly explained things like macros and how important rest was. I quickly went up in muscle mass without gaining fat.

Fast forward to 2020 and Covid hits. While most people gave up on the gym, Jorden worked with me to get a home workout program going and set up a competition between his clients on who could get the most steps in per day. Out of all my friends and coworkers, I was the only one who stayed in shape and ate correctly due to the discipline and guidance Jorden gave me. The step competition added a fun and unique way of adding a social dynamic to Covid and a habit that I haven't stopped since.

Lastly, since working with Jorden I have been getting sick and injured less. I haven't caught a cold since 2019. This can only be because he has taught me how to eat correctly, put rest before training, and proper supplementation. I used to crash every day around 2 to 3 pm. Previously no doctor had been able to fix this. Jorden had me get my bloodwork done and take a Dutch test. He quickly was able to address the issue and I haven't felt better.

Jorden has only improved my life. I am the happiest, healthiest, getting the best sleep in my life, and in the best shape of my life. I have recommended Jordan to friends and family members and will continue to do so. Jorden Pagel will make your life better in every way.

I began my health and fitness journey back in May 2021 looking to lose some postpartum baby weight, gain muscle, confidence and feel overall healthier.

Through weekly check-ins and a guided, easy to follow weight training program I was able to lose the weight, gain confidence in all aspects of my life and feel naturally more energized. Jorden is incredibly easy to approach with questions and quick to help, guide and resolve problems along the way, making my health and fitness journey overall, Seamless.

My biggest win is getting my confidence back and feeling excited about being in the gym. Learning new concepts and how to eat before and after workouts, along with rest days was huge for me.

To anyone on the fence about hiring a coach... you get one life to live, why not live it the healthiest and best version of yourself. Without the expertise of Jorden at Sustain Health & Performance I would probably still be spinning my wheels at the gym lifting too much and eating too little. I have been setup and guided for lifetime results!
