Our Story
Over 100 years of farmers have laid the groundwork for what is now the 5th Generation to live on the Jasper Family Farm. While the type of work may have changed from farming to personal training, the principles haven’t.
In farming, you can’t just wish for crops to grow, you have to put in the hard work, to over time reap what you have sown. The same rings true in your health and fitness. There is no magic pill and results will only come with hard work. The “harvest” is different but the rewards are plentiful. Whether you are looking to lose weight, add strength and muscle, add athleticism or sports specific training. Or simply work on you to be in better shape physically to get off that prescription medication and chase kids and grandkids, we are here for you. Helping you set goals and achieve goals!
At 5G Fitness we are committed to changing and saving lives. Helping clients change habits to create a healthier lifestyle and achieve your fitness goals and enjoy life.
With one-on-one personal training and coaching, we will provide the same family relationship and principals the farm here has always had. We will provide the workouts, nutrition coaching and accountability. You just need to bring the hard work and desire to make a change! In the meantime, we will be building relationships and together being leaders and examples to change even more lives in health and fitness- something we need more of in our world. Be that example. Be the best you you can be. We can and want to help!

Meet the Trainer
Matt Jasper - Owner, NASM CPT, CNC, & PES
I became a personal trainer in 2013. After getting certified through NASM, I worked for two years out of an Anytime Fitness. I learned a lot during these two years helping manage and train out of two locations. Life pulled me away but 6 years back into the corporate world, I’m back and for good!
I spent those 6 years using my two degrees in Accounting and Finance, bouncing around after calls pulled me to the next job. All were good jobs, but I knew something was missing. After my daughter was born, you could say I was reborn - she provided a new lease on life. I read her books daily about dreaming big, working hard and achieving your goals. I realized I don’t want to be the dad who just tells her she can be whatever she wants if she works hard. I had to show her. I want to lead by example and follow my passion. So I left a C-Suite job to start 5G fitness in May 2021. Focusing full time on changing lives through building relationships and helping people on their health and fitness journey.
With over 10 years of experience in training, many more years in my own fitness journey, certification and daily studying devoted to always expanding my knowledge in the industry and a passion and care for others, together we can get you to your goal. Through specific training programs tailored to you, check-ins, and nutritional coaching, I will be here to hold you accountable, keep you safe, teach/coach, and push you every day.
My goal is to do everything I can to get you to yours!
Personal Life: Most important thing to me are all my titles: Christian, Husband, Dad, Brother, Uncle, Son, nephew, grandson, cousin, friend, and business owner/personal trainer. I love all those titles and spending time in each role. I love health and fitness, hunting, fishing, sports, video games and movies (huge Star Wars and Marvel fan!)
What got me into fitness: As a kid, I played all sports and loved all sports. I never got into training, I just wanted to play! Looking back, I wish I had the knowledge I do now. After I was done playing sports, I needed that outlet, I needed to be physical. Not to mention, I was also tired of being the skinny kid. So in college, I started going to the gym and it was love at first lift!
What is my inspiration: Outside of leading by example and providing for my wife and daughter, its my parents and grandparents. They set the tone. They set the standard of hard work, routines, rules, beliefs and responsibilities. I may go about it in a different way than their farm lifestyles, but its the same ideas and standards. Not to mention family health issues, that due to my sweet tooth, I saw myself potentially falling into one day and wanting to make sure everybody lives the healthiest life they can.
What is my go-to cheat meal: any fast food or chocolate, especially Reeses!
What keeps me going: My family and seeing our country fall deeper and deeper into unhealthy living and habits. We need change! I am going to keep working every day to keep inspiring and coaching these changes one person at a time. I want everyone to live their happiest and healthiest life and prevent untimely/early deaths that can be preventable. Until this is solved and I know it never will be, I’ll be driven to keep going to help the next person.
Favorite Sports Teams: Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Cubs, Detroit Red Wings, and Liverpool FC
