move. belong. thrive.

 

Mission

I know what it feels like to walk into a space that says everyone is welcome and discover that doesn’t include you. That experience didn’t discourage me. It clarified exactly what I needed to build.

Endeavor with Jase exists because belonging shouldn’t be conditional. Not on your fitness level, your background, your identity, or who you know. Everyone gets a real welcome here. That’s not a marketing line. It’s a promise I make from personal experience.

In the fitness studio, on the race course, in the commission chamber, and in every community space I touch, that promise doesn’t change.

how i show up

Building inclusive communities doesn’t happen in one room or one role. Here’s where you”ll find me.

fitness class

A free weekly class at Demuth Community Center built for people who’ve ever felt like fitness spaces
weren’t made for them. Because they weren’t.
This one is.

race warm-ups

Leading warmups at some of Palm Springs’
most beloved community races. Bringing energy,
inclusion, and a whole lot of movement to race
day crowds of up to 1,900 people.

civic leadership

As Vice Chair of the Palm Springs Parks &
Recreation Commission, I work to make sure
inclusive spaces aren’t just something we talk
about. They become policy.

community events

School supply drives, Pride activations,
ERG leadership, backpack giveaways. Showing up
consistently for the people and causes that
make Palm Springs worth fighting for.

Testimonials

“Jase has a special way of encouraging folks of all ages to be active and create wellness in their lives. Representation is important to Jase – he endeavors to create an all inclusive environment where everyone, especially minorities and underrepresented communities, can feel seen and welcomed by seeing someone they can relate to leading a class.  He is a very good instructor and contributor to our local community.”

Steven Henke

Director of Brand Marketing, DAP Health

“Jase is a dedicated community member with a great energy. His ability to bring a diverse group of people together and make them feel welcome align perfectly with his talents as a fitness instructor. I am excited to be a member of Endeavor.”

Raul Rodriguez Landeros

Development Manager, LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert

“Exercising is, of course, about putting your energy and spirit into the effort, but that is a two-way street when you’re in a class trying to follow an instructor. Jase has a radiating, positive gentleness that puts you at ease, motivates you and makes you feel warm and welcome!  I have seen and felt this wonderful combination in action during his classes. I actually experienced joy sweating my butt off!  Ha!  He encourages you to participate at whatever level you are comfortable at the time, yet helps you strive for your goals. I have found his workouts to be great for my body and my mind.”
