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.
Coaching Is the Foundation of Everything We Do
Perform24 is built to be a coaching facility. We are not an access facility.
Many gyms rely on workouts.
We rely on a unified coaching system. Our programs are structured, individualized, and specifically designed to support long-term physical progress.
From youth athletes to professionals to busy adults, our coaches are committed to helping every client move better, get stronger, and build lasting results.
Levi Jaeckel, CSCS
Founder & Head Coach
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 environments and introduced him to structured strength and conditioning for the first time. That early exposure sparked a lasting interest in the science 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 — built on the idea that elite training methodology should not be limited to professional athletes.
Since opening Perform24, Levi has worked with athletes across nearly every level of sport — from youth athletes to professionals competing in the NFL, MLB, NHL, USA Volleyball, and USL Soccer — while also helping 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.
Levi believes progress is possible for everyone — not just elite athletes.
Anyone can make progress. They just need a roadmap and a team in their corner.
A Team Built on Experience and Organized to Work Together
Our coaching staff includes Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialists (CSCS), graduate-level exercise professionals, former collegiate athletes, and coaches with experience across professional and collegiate sports environments.
But what truly sets Perform24 apart is not just the experience of each individual coach — it’s the way our team 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, updating programming, collaborate on modifications, and maintaining consistent standards across the entire gym.
This means that on 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.

Built on Proven Principles. 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 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.
