Jeff Tomaszewski is a graduate of Case Western Reserve University (Case) with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Sports Medicine and a master’s degree in Exercise Physiology. He is a certified Athletic Trainer through the National Athletic Trainers Association and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

He began his career as a clinical Athletic Trainer for Ohio Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine and served as the Medical Coordinator for the National Youth Sports Program at Case.
Jeff then left his career in physical therapy to pursue a master’s degree and become the Assistant Athletic Trainer/Professor at Case in 2000. Shortly after obtaining his master’s degree he formed MaxStrength Fitness in May of 2007 in Westlake, Ohio, which has grown into Cleveland’s premier personal training facility. A second facility was opened in May of 2017 in Willoughby, Ohio and the MaxStrength Fitness Franchise was launched in 2022 to help fulfill his life’s mission of helping as many people as possible live a high quality of life into their golden years.

Jeff is a graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Cohort 5 and has been an active member in the Entrepreneur Organization’s Accelerator program and served on the board.
He is a student of marketing, world-class customer service and providing the most efficient, effective, and safe mode of exercise.

Along the way Jeff has also obtained Professional Status as a Natural Drug-Free Bodybuilder solely using the methods and systems implemented at MaxStrength Fitness and he continues to use these systems to help countless clients achieve their health and fitness goals.

In 2021, Jeff established The JLT Fund, to honor his late wife, Jodi. The JLT Fund seeks to endow women who possess the drive, passion, and altruistic spirit of its namesake by giving them access to financial resources to pursue the powerful tool of a law degree.

Jeff has three beautiful daughters Emma, Chloe, and Paige. When he is not busy transforming his client’s lives through health and fitness Jeff enjoys spending time with his family splashing in the pool, taking walks and bike rides or any other adventure they can dream up. He also loves golf, skiing, and many other outdoor sports! Not to mention, rooting on the Browns, Cavs, and Guardians.

Sarah Holub

Chief Xperience Officer

What is the best part about training the clients at MaxStrength Fitness?
Being the Chief Xperience Officer is hands down the best position at MaxStrength Fitness. Everyday I get the opportunity to engage with the most outstanding individuals, YOU, our clients. Each client brings their own story, history, and uniqueness and getting the chance to learn those stories is my favorite part about being a part of the MSF family.

If you could be anywhere other than here, right this minute, where would you be?
In the Northwoods of Wisconsin with my two children and husband. Having been born and raised in Northern Wisconsin we spent our summers and winters enjoying the different recreational opportunities the state has to offer. The calm of the Northwoods is not only comforting but rejuvenating. It is so important to me that my two young children grow up experiencing the same comfort of the clear water lakes, fishing, skiing, snowshoeing and spending time with family around a campfire in the woods.
