Meet Jarek Crew | Pro Athlete & Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jarek Crew and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jarek, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
One of the biggest habits that’s helped me succeed is consistency—especially in the small things. I built my life and career on showing up every day, whether I felt like it or not. From training to nutrition to business—it all comes down to doing the work, even when it’s not glamorous.

Another key habit is intentionality. I don’t just go through the motions. Every workout, every meal, every client interaction—I’m asking myself, “Is this getting me or my athletes closer to the goal?” That level of focus has kept me aligned with my purpose and elevated the standard at J.Crew Coaching.

Lastly, I’d say discipline in self-reflection. Every night, I take time to review how I showed up—as a coach, an athlete, and a leader. That habit keeps me accountable and evolving. Success isn’t just about pushing hard; it’s about constantly adjusting, learning, and leading from the front.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
That’s what sets me apart. I’ve lived the highs—standing center stage with a trophy in hand—and I’ve battled through the lows, where just getting out of bed felt like a win. I’m not here just to build a physique. I’m here to build a legacy rooted in discipline, health, mindset, and impact.

What makes me different isn’t just the muscle or the medals—it’s the depth of experience, the lessons from pain, and the refusal to quit. I’ve coached under the best, competed against the best, and overcome what would break most people.

Now, I move forward with clarity, with a team behind me, and a vision that extends beyond the stage. I’m not chasing validation—I’m building a movement. One where health, performance, and purpose coexist.

The Olympia dream still burns, but my mission is bigger: to lead by example, to elevate the standard, and to show the next generation that real success in bodybuilding—and in life—comes from mastering yourself first.

The journey continues. And the best? That’s still ahead.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I gotta give a big shoutout to some real ones—Cameron Cheek, Ruff Diesel, Nick Gloff, Dom Kuza, and more. It’s athletes and coaches like them that raise the bar every day. The way they show up, the way they lead, and the way they stay locked in on growth—it’s something I respect deeply.

They’ve each played a part in shaping the standard, and that energy pushes all of us forward. At J. Crew Coaching, we’re committed to that same mission—leading with impact, living with discipline, and building a legacy bigger than ourselves.
