“Every so often you come across an industry professional who has all the right stuff (integrity, emotional intelligence, work ethic and respect of his team members). That special person is Jay Graves.

Jay and I have had a great client/vendor relationship for years now. In every situation he has shown incredible judgement, integrity, responsibility and leadership. He treats his current place of employment like it is his own and always seems to get the job done. I highly recommend Jay for consulting, general industry discussion or guest speaking arrangements. Jay is a true leader and knows how to get the most out of his team staff and members. He knows how to identify and develop talent and truly cares about his people and clients. He is very special industry advisor who I hold in the highest regard.”

– Sal Pellegrino, Senior Strategic Account Manager

“ABSOLUTE SUPERSTAR!! I have known Jay for over 30 years. While serving together as U.S. Marines, I observed Jay’s persistence, enthusiasm, and leadership during training and while facing some of the most challenging situations one could imagine in combat – always calm, cool, and collected – always motivating, inspiring, and setting the example for others – consistently filling positions of greater responsibility. After leaving active duty as a Sergeant of Marines, Jay leveraged all his leadership, management, and problem-solving skills to succeed as an entrepreneur and become a highly respected corporate leader. Jay’s integrity, self-discipline, and dependability is unquestionable and unmatched - Always ensuring his teams make mission and accomplish organizational goals. However, his dedication is combined with sincere respect, compassion, and empathy… along with a great sense of humor!”

It is absolutely my pleasure and personal honor to share with you a recommendation for Mr. Jay Graves, a former client, a colleague, now a mentor to myself and many others that have the opportunity to engage with Jay. We have had the pleasure to spend many hours exploring various solutions to issues and opportunities the fitness industry presents. Jay is just one of those individuals that if he reached out to me for any reason that I would always take time for. He is one of the most respectful and trustworthy people I know. Things like honor, trust, and believing in people are in his DNA. Leadership is more than just a title and Jay without question is an outstanding LEADER and I’m so grateful for Jay Graves.
