Founder. Coach. Athlete. Creator.

​

I’m Jerren Pierce — a lifelong athlete and performance coach who’s passionate about helping people push their limits and reach their full potential. Born and raised in Houma, LA, I turned my love for movement into a mission that’s guided me through every chapter of my life.

I played college football at Southeastern Louisiana University, and later served as a strength coach at Landry-Walker High School in New Orleans, where I helped lead the team to a state championship — one of my proudest moments as a coach.

​

Over 15 years ago, I founded Equip Fitness, a New Orleans-based gym built on community, resilience, and results. Equip isn’t just a gym — it’s a family. From pro athletes and entire sports teams to moms, teens, and grandparents, I’ve trained people from all walks of life. And every single one of them has a story worth building on.

​

My philosophy is simple:

Everyone is an athlete. Everyone has untapped potential.

That mindset led me to create Connective Sports, a performance tracking system designed to help athletes optimize their training with real-world data like speed, workload, surface, and environmental impact. It’s a tool to bring the unseen into focus — and create opportunities that change lives.

 

When I’m not coaching or building, I’m spending time with the best team I’ve ever had — my wife, Vanessa, and our two amazing kids. They’re the reason I go hard every day.

Let’s get after it.
