About Strive 5
To strive is to make a determined effort toward something greater—to work with purpose toward continued growth, improvement, and achievement. At Strive 5, that principle is at the foundation of everything we do.
Strive 5 is a multidisciplinary health and wellness company built around one clear belief: long-term health is developed through consistent, intelligent, and individualized care.
Founded by Jake Karam, Strive 5 brings together over 20 years of coaching, personal training, performance development, and wellness experience. The approach goes beyond traditional fitness by integrating five key pillars: strength training and performance, sleep and recovery, nutrition and supplementation, biomarker and hormone analysis, and mobility and joint health.
What makes Strive 5 different is the ability to connect these areas into one cohesive strategy. Every client is met where they are, whether the goal is improving strength, reducing pain, restoring movement, increasing energy, optimizing health markers, or building a stronger foundation for aging well.
Strive 5 also offers access to specialized services, including osteopathy, yoga, blood panel analysis, and biomarker-based insights. Together, these services support movement quality, recovery, mobility, joint health, flexibility, breathwork, body awareness, nervous system regulation, and a deeper understanding of key health markers related to performance, inflammation, metabolism, hormones, and overall wellness.
We work with executives, entrepreneurs, busy professionals, athletes, youth, seniors, and high-performing individuals seeking structure, accountability, and optimization. Strive 5 is not built around trends, shortcuts, or one-size-fits-all programming. It is built around education, consistency, accountability, and a deeper understanding of the human body.
The mission is simple: help people move better, feel better, perform better, and build sustainable health over the long term. Strive 5 exists to help clients build strength, resilience, and health that carries into every stage of life.
“ Jake is excellent at what he does. Smart, honest, kind and caring. I’ve been lucky to work with Jake for over a year and recommend him to anyone that will listen. "
