I’m Jerren Pierce "JP",  born and raised in a small city called Houma, Louisiana. My path into coaching and training started through football, playing four years at Southeastern Louisiana University while earning a degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Sports Management.

​

What pushed me into personal training wasn’t a business plan: it was helping a cousin get better at high school football. That experience opened my eyes to how powerful coaching, consistency, and belief can be. It ended up being the best career move I ever made.

​

After becoming a certified personal trainer, I began building a client base one relationship at a time. That work eventually grew into Equip Fitness, which started in a small apartment complex gym and has expanded into a 5,000-square-foot facility where hundreds of people train every year.

​

Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of working with everyday people, youth athletes, NFL players, and even some of Hollywood’s top actors. But titles and labels have never been the point. The real reward has always been watching people gain confidence, discipline, and belief in themselves through training.

​

Today, my vision is simple:
to keep making a meaningful impact in as many lives as possible through movement, structure, and standards.

​

I truly believe in one mantra —
Get Better Today.

​

Not tomorrow. Not when it’s easy.
Today.
