I’m Jake Bonacci, Xtreme Couture’s strength/conditioning coach. I grew up in Ironwood, MI. I graduated college from the University of Wisconsin Superior. After receiving my bachelor’s degree, I was fortunate to intern under Chris Bell (owner of Impact Sports Training in Duluth, MN). Chris helped me out greatly, teaching me his philosophy of athletic performance training.
After my internship with Chris, I moved on and received my Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology from the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN. After graduate school, I came out to Las Vegas and did my internship at Xtreme Couture. During that time, I had the privilege of helping Randy prepare for his title defense against Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 74. After my internship, Randy and Kim decided to hire me as the strength/conditioning coach of Xtreme Couture. I give thanks to them for giving me the opportunity to do what I love to do.
Currently, things are going great here at Xtreme Couture. I’ve been privileged to train some of the best fighters in the world like Gray Maynard, Jay Hieron, Dennis Davis, Joey Varner, Chris Horodecki, Sam Stout, Mac Danzig, Mike Pyle, Johny Hendricks, Tyson Griffin, Gina Carano, Kim Couture, Alex Shoenauer, Josh Haynes, Martin Kampmann, Goran Reljic, Karo Parisyan, Phil Friedman, John Alessio, Jay White, James Thompson, Ray Sefo (K-1), Phil Baroni, Vitor Belfort, and UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture.
