Turns out they have been running in the same circle most of their lives. Todd (Jess' dad) coached Jake in football when he was a kid, and they even went to the same high school. But they never met until 2017 when Jake became a volunteer at Pursuit Church where Jess works!

They work out together 5 to 6 days a week and have a huge community of people called “The Sanctuary”. On January 3rd there was a partner WOD called “Love X 2”. All of their friends came to work out and they were both so excited! They got to the last round and Jake ended early! Jess finished out the 45 minute workout and it felt like everyone was staring at her! Well Jake asked Jess to come into the garage and before she could catch her breath, he was on one knee asking her to be his wife! Best workout and day of their lives!
