Meet Coach Jamal Powers, CSCS, FDN-P, USAWL-1

Father, Athlete, Holistic Performance Coach
With over 20 years of experience, Jamal Powers brings a seasoned, holistic approach to health and performance optimization. Whether you're an athlete aiming to avoid burnout or someone over 40 striving to feel lean, strong, and balanced, Jamal guides you safely and effectively toward success.

What I do, and what I don't. I'm not here to diagnose or heal anything, and I can't give medical advice. I'm an additional resource. I take in what you tell me about your symptoms, your lifestyle, your diet, your rest, your training, your stress, and what you're taking or not taking, and I coach you on the parts of that you can change. If you're under a doctor's care, keep seeing your doctor.

As Seen In

What Sets Me Apart

Jamal isn’t just a coach; he’s a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) and a former athlete who understands the importance of safe movement and injury prevention. His approach is personalized, science-based, and goes beyond typical fitness plans to address each client's specific needs:
Functional Lab Testing
If you choose to run functional labs, I'm trained to read them and bring them into your plan as one more input.
Body Fat Testing
Track your progress with regular body fat scans to ensure you're on the path to your goals.
Personalized Meal Plans
Customized, non-cookie-cutter meal plans tailored to your food sensitivities, metabolic demands, and body’s unique needs.
Holistic Health Approach
As someone optimizing his own health and hormones past 40, Jamal understands the challenges firsthand. He combines science-based nutrition and fitness strategies to help you feel stronger, leaner, and more energized than ever.
Smart Programming
Jamal has been the injured athlete and the coach bringing athletes back. His programs are built around movement quality, sensible progression, and load management.

Philosophy

Jamal’s method is comprehensive, integrating a clean diet, mobility work, and structured strength programs. By systematically reducing or eliminating factors that contribute to chronic stress—such as inadequate recovery, poor nutrition, and lifestyle imbalances—and integrating a structured training program (4x per week) tailored to the individual’s fitness level, we can optimize physical and mental resilience. Additionally, by using nutrition guidelines that are specifically aligned with the client’s metabolic type, we ensure that their body is receiving the right fuel to support energy, recovery, and hormonal balance. This comprehensive approach not only reduces overall stress levels but also enhances the body’s ability to adapt and recover. As a result, we see significant improvements in sleep quality, mental focus, and ultimately, peak performance in both training and competition.

The RTP Method™ Return to Play

Jamal’s signature program, the RTP Method™, is designed for athletes and individuals who want to move, feel, and function better while avoiding injury. The RTP Method™ is broken down into three phases:

Reset

Reset starts with a free 20-minute Performance Analysis Call where we take stock. We go through your symptoms, your food, your sleep, your training, your stress, and what you're taking. Many clients choose to run a food sensitivity test at this stage as one more piece of information. If you do, Jamal coaches you through a structured elimination phase: you change what you eat, you pay attention, and you decide what stays.

Rebuild

A 12-week strength program with hypertrophy, deload, and “lift heavy AF” blocks. Supplement suggestions are included as part of the coaching.

Return to Peak Performance

Progress is measured through improved flexibility, reduced visceral fat, and increased muscle mass. Adjustments and refinements are made to ensure you reach your highest potential.
At Powers Holistic Performance, we offer the best of the best—a unique combination of elite strength training from a CSCS and comprehensive health optimization from a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P). This powerful fusion is designed to reset your body, rebuild your strength, and optimize your hormones for peak performance. Whether you're an athlete or simply looking to feel your best, our hand-tailored protocols ensure you achieve success both inside and outside the gym.
