Founder of Functional Integrated Training | Host of The Human Athlete Podcast
Jared Markiewicz
Jared Markiewicz is a performance coach, gym owner, and leadership mentor who helps individuals and teams transform not just their bodies—but their mindset, systems, and long-term approach to sustainable success. As the co-founder of Functional Integrated Training (FIT) in Madison, Wisconsin, Jared has spent over a decade coaching high performers across industries to optimize how they move, recover, lead, and live.
At his core, Jared believes that physical fitness is inseparable from mental clarity, leadership effectiveness, and personal responsibility. Through his coaching, he helps people reconnect to what matters most—building consistency, resilience, and habits that outlast hype or short-term motivation. Whether he’s working with an athlete, a busy executive, or an entire organization, Jared brings a unique blend of strategic thinking and personal connection that helps clients bridge the gap between intention and execution.
Jared’s background combines deep expertise in human performance with firsthand entrepreneurial experience. He co-founded FIT in 2011 and has helped grow it into one of the Midwest’s premier training communities, serving everyone from college athletes and business leaders to parents and retirees committed to living with energy and purpose. Under his leadership, FIT became known not just for its smart, science-based training—but for its culture of accountability, education, and belonging.
Beyond the gym, Jared is a sought-after advisor and speaker on topics such as leadership development, personal discipline, team performance, and culture design. He has coached and consulted with executives, athletic programs, and corporate teams—helping them understand that how we train our bodies and how we lead others are often more connected than we think. He emphasizes ownership, energy management, and clarity as the foundations for lasting performance—whether in the weight room or the boardroom.
Jared also brings a strong focus to the often-overlooked role of recovery, nutrition, and sleep in leadership and mental wellness. He is passionate about helping people break free from burnout and performance plateaus by understanding their physiology, managing stress intelligently, and aligning daily habits with long-term vision. His approach is practical, personalized, and grounded in both research and real-world results.
A former collegiate athlete with a degree in Kinesiology, Jared blends academic training with lived experience. He has walked through the grind of building a business, leading teams, navigating change, and showing up daily for the people who count on him. That journey has made him a more intentional coach and a more empathetic leader—someone who understands the weight high performers carry and the support they often lack.
Jared is also a family man, mentor, and mission-driven entrepreneur who believes that greatness is built in the margins—in the small, daily choices made when no one is watching. His clients often say that what starts with “just training” quickly becomes much more: a recalibration of identity, priorities, and how they want to show up in the world.
At Shift Summit 2026, Jared will bring a grounded, evidence-based perspective to conversations around fitness, recovery, discipline, and leadership. His voice will speak not only to those in peak athletic form but to anyone who wants to live and lead with more strength, energy, and intentionality—day in and day out.

The current speaker lineup represents only a portion of what’s to come. Behind the scenes, we’re actively confirming more high-integrity leaders, coaches, founders, and subject-matter experts who align with Shift’s mission. Every speaker is intentionally chosen—not for fame, but for the clarity, experience, and value they bring to the room.
Check back soon as we continue to build a lineup designed to challenge, sharpen, and move you forward!
More Than an Event. A Mission.
Shift Summit isn’t just about gathering high performers in one room — it’s about supporting those we believe in. This year, we’re proud to partner with Talons Reach Foundation, a nonprofit that serves active and veteran Special Operations Forces who’ve been morally, mentally, or physically wounded. These men and women have carried the weight of elite service — often at great personal cost — and Talons Reach helps them reconnect, recover, and regenerate through mindfulness, community, and care.
A portion of all Shift Summit ticket sales will be donated directly to Talons Reach Foundation.
This is our way of giving back to those who never asked — but who always showed up. When you buy a ticket, you’re not just investing in yourself. You’re standing with a mission that helps some of the strongest among us heal with strength, clarity, and purpose.
