Jared Aguilar

As an undergraduate kinesiology student at Louisiana State University, he refined his study by focusing on optimizing the biopsychosocial mechanisms of such movement and how an active lifestyle can combat chronic health diseases. After receiving his bachelor’s degree, Jared relocated to Austin, TX where he earned a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine. Around the same time, Jared became a Level One CrossFit Trainer and a USA Weightlifting Sports Performance Coach. His dual-roles as physical therapist and coach allow him the unique opportunity to teach athletes how to take care of their bodies, not just in response to an injury, but all the time. He is fortunate to have the opportunity to fulfill this dual-role every day at Crossfit Austin, where he and the other coaches work to cultivate a community of resilient athletes. Education is one of Jared’s most powerful tools in helping clients achieve their goals without falling for the fads and misinformation that run rampant throughout the health and fitness industries. As such, it comes as no surprise that Jared finds another professional home in academia. Mentoring physical therapy students by serving as a clinical educator and musculoskeletal lab instructor at the University of St. Augustine has become a true joy. And as a lifelong learner, Jared is currently enrolled in an Orthopedic and Manual Physical Therapy Fellowship to improve his clinical reasoning. When he’s not coaching or studying, you can find Jared co-hosting one of his many podcasts, listening to Star Wars fan theories, doing impressions of his favorite comedians, or jamming out to some classic 90s hip hop.
