Jacob Sanders

One Performance Institute

Jacob earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia. Having overcome numerous injuries himself, he understands the rehabilitation process firsthand and is passionate about helping clients return to activity while building strength, confidence, and long-term performance. His goal is to empower individuals to take control of their health through evidence-based training tailored to their unique goals. Jacob’s research in muscle physiology at UBC informs his practice, allowing him to deliver measurable, objective, and individualized programming grounded in science. He has a particular interest in strength and conditioning, specializing in the development of power, speed, agility, and vertical jump performance. He enjoys helping clients bridge the gap between rehabilitation and high-level performance, whether they are returning from injury, preparing for sport, or striving to reach new athletic goals. His experience with heart rate–based endurance training also allows him to support runners and endurance athletes in training more effectively. A lifelong athlete and competitor, Jacob has completed the BMO Marathon, raced in triathlons, and continues to compete in basketball. Outside of the clinic, he enjoys strength training, mountain biking, hiking the North Shore trails, and is currently training to improve his 10K race time. His personal experiences in sport, injury recovery, and performance allow him to connect with clients through both empathy and expertise while helping them perform at their best.
