I have guided numerous clients toward achieving their fitness goals. Understanding the challenges of maintaining motivation and consistency, I am dedicated to creating personalized programs that are both effective and enjoyable.
My passion for fitness began when I overcame my own body image issues. I always aspired to look and be as strong as a superhero, longing for the day I would meet a wise old sensei to teach me how to accomplish that feat. However, they never appeared, so I became that for myself and now for others.

I started training with Jake and the IEP team in 2023 and initially knew their approach to movement, training and performance was on a whole different level. No one in the LE or Mil training world was addressing this critical need in the way they do. The IEP team has the education, experience and individual hard skills to enhance any individual or departments training program. The practical performance based approach is something I support 100%. The way they address not only performance but combine it with individual hard skills is something that anyone can benefit from. I’ve been using their methods and programming in my own training and am extremely happy with the improvements I continue to make.
Xray Alpha LLC
I’ve trained with hundreds of instructors from all over the world, seen what they bring to the table, and while there are many good ones, Jake and the crew from IEP have truly found a niche that was lacking and filled it with solid knowledge. Despite being at the pinnacle of their craft, they’re still pushing their own growth and constantly evolving new ideas, drills, and training strategies... Plus, they’re just good dudes.
Instructor/Professional Shooter
Even having been athletic all my life and playing on a nationally ranked college lacrosse team, there were still many valuable pointers, tips, and lessons to be learned while working with Jake at In Extremis Performance. Regardless of your previous athletic experience, it’s well worth attending a course and tapping into their expertise on the topic of movement with a rifle or handgun.
CTT-Solutions LLC
IEP provides a unique framework for firearms and tactical mobility training. Their top notch instructors are able to effectively and efficiently show the correlation between efficient movement and effective firearm performance. I highly recommend this training to all law enforcement officers.
Persident, TTPOA
Jake has been working diligently to bring the training industry something it’s never seen before and it’s very interesting. Instead of a shooting coach that can move, he’s a movement coach that can shoot. And I love it.
JBS Training Solutions
The guys at In Extremis Performance understand efficiency and movement from a high level. If you are serious about improving your skill set with not only shooting, but in any athletic endeavor. I highly recommend training with In Extremis Performance.

"I've been training with Lucas for the past 7 years and he's probably the most knowledgeable and understanding trainer out there. Everything he does is catered to your success and he'll do everything in his power to help out. From understanding nutrition to learning when and how to exercise effectively, he'll make sure you'll be set up for success."

"I’ve been training with Lucas for about 13 months now, before that I had no Idea what I was doing in terms of a formal workout plan, proper form, or where to even begin with a dietary plan. Lucas has been incredibly helpful in everyone of those aspects. He will create a routine that really helps you work towards your fitness goals and adjust it as those goals change. A lot of my training with Lucas has been web-based and my schedule has me working out at odd hours a lot of the time. Even with such an off schedule, Lucas is always very quick to respond to any questions I have either about form or the best way to optimize a specific exercise.
When I started working out I wasn’t expecting results anywhere near where I am today and I attribute a lot of that to Lucas! He really Goes Beyond your expectations for a personal trainer!"

"Lucas Karabel may seem to you as another personal trainer like everybody else. However, if you get to know him a bit closer, you will understand his unique personality and energy. Working out with him has been a game changer for me. He will guide you step by step to your goal regardless of your fitness level. Close look inside your personal situation to figure out what you need and what you did wrong if tried , makes you understand how things work. That includes nutrition advise and exercises tailored specifically to you. His “easy words” explanations of what muscle to activate for specific exercises provide crucial mind-muscle connection which not everybody points out. He is always positive and calm, always will help to keep your spirit and motivation up, He's always there for you to answer any question. Another great feature Lucas has, he shows how to use your fitness skills in real life."
