Meet the Coaches Behind Perform24
Perform24 is home to one of Tampa’s most experienced strength and performance coaching teams. Our staff includes Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialists (CSCS), former collegiate athletes, and professional performance coaches who specialize in helping athletes and adults build strength, improve movement, and achieve long-term results through structured, individualized training.
Levi Jaeckel, CSCS
Founder
Levi Jaeckel founded Perform24 in 2014 with the goal of bringing elite-level performance training to athletes and adults who want to train with purpose.
As a standout multi-sport athlete in high school, Levi’s performance opened the door to Division I athletic opportunities and introduced him to structured strength and conditioning for the first time. That early exposure sparked a lasting interest in the process of performance and athletic development.
Levi went on to earn his Exercise Science degree from the University of New Mexico, where he continued developing his understanding of strength training, movement, and long-term athletic preparation.
After graduating, Levi continued his professional development through the nationally recognized Athletes’ Performance Institute (API), now known as EXOS, widely regarded as one of the gold standards in athletic performance training. During his time there, he worked extensively with elite athletes, specializing in NFL Combine preparation and contributing to the development of multiple first-round draft picks including the #4 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
While working in professional performance environments, Levi saw firsthand the power of structured training systems. But he also recognized that the same principles used to develop elite athletes could benefit adults striving for strength, longevity, and performance in everyday life.
That realization led to the founding of Perform24. Perform24 is built on the idea that elite training methodology should not be limited to professional athletes.
Since opening Perform24, Levi has continued to work with elite level athletes across nearly every level of sport — from youth athletes to professionals competing in the NFL, MLB, NHL, USA Volleyball, and USL Soccer. Additionally, his coaching experience also includes preparing candidates for elite military selection programs. Levi has helped individuals successfully prepare for and pass U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Beret) Selection and U.S. Navy BUD/S.
This performance based training has happened alongside the efforts to help Tampa adults build strength, improve movement, and solve long-standing physical challenges.
His coaching philosophy is built on a simple principle:
Performance begins with quality movement.
Repeatable, efficient movement creates the foundation that allows strength, speed, and performance to develop safely and consistently.
“Anyone can make progress. If you are stuck with your training, if you’ve had a setback, or if you are already a highly performing athlete, there is always a path forward.”
A Team Built on Experience and Organized to Work Together
Our coaching staff includes professionals that have built careers as strength and conditioning coaches.
But what truly sets Perform24 apart is not simply the experience and credentials of each individual coach. Our coaching staff operates as a cohesive unit.
We do not function as isolated coaches working independently. Every program, adjustment, and progression is built, tracked, and refined within a shared training system. Our coaches collaborate daily, we regularly review progress, update programming, discuss modification options and maintaining consistent standards across the entire gym.
This means that on any given hour of any given day, a member may work with any coach on the floor and experience the same level of attention, structure, and training quality.
The result is consistency — not guesswork — and a training experience built on teamwork, communication, and shared responsibility.

Jessica Jaeckel
Director of Operations and Community Relations
Jessica Jaeckel played a critical role in building the operational foundation that allowed Perform24 to grow from its early stages into the structured performance facility it is today.
While Levi led the coaching and training systems, Jessica focused on building the business infrastructure behind the scenes. From administrative workflows to client systems and operational processes, her work helped establish the structure that allowed Perform24 to scale during its most important growth phases. Many of the systems that run Perform24 today were originally designed and implemented under her leadership.
Jessica brings 15 years of corporate experience from her career with E. & J. Gallo Winery, one of the largest and most respected wine companies in the world. During her time there, she developed expertise in operations, logistics, and business systems which translated directly into building efficient, reliable backend operations for Perform24.
While many of the foundational systems Jessica designed continue to support Perform24’s daily operations today, her role has naturally evolved alongside the growth of the business. She remains actively involved in shaping the long-term health of the organization and serves as a strong public representative of Perform24 throughout the Tampa community. Jessica is deeply engaged in professional networking groups, volunteer initiatives, school PTSA leadership, and currently serves as a Board Member of the South Tampa Chamber of Commerce, helping strengthen Perform24’s connection to the local community.
Her work behind the scenes has helped create the stability and structure that allow the coaching team to focus on delivering high-level training experiences to every client who walks through our doors.
A System Refined Through Hands-on Experience.
Perform24 was founded on performance principles first developed through the nationally recognized Athletes’ Performance Institute (API), now known as EXOS, widely regarded as one of the gold standards in athletic performance training.
Those early systems created the foundation, but they were only the starting point.
Over the past decade, Perform24’s training methodology and client experience has continued to evolve through hands-on coaching experience, mentorship from respected professionals, and years of working with athletes and adults across every level of performance.
While many facilities rely on fixed systems, our approach has been shaped by real-world coaching. We have never stopped adapting, improving, and expanding beyond traditional training models.
Today, the Perform24 training system reflects more than a single methodology. It represents years of refinement, innovation, and practical application — designed to meet the demands of athletes, professionals, and everyday clients who expect results.
