The Fitness Code

Cody Jensen is the owner of The Fitness Code. Since 2017, he has been helping hundreds of individuals achieve goals ranging from weight loss and muscle gain to injury recovery and improved mobility, but his journey into fitness truly began with what he thought was the end. He started weight training at 19 while attending UCLA and approached it with the casual confidence one would expect from a young athlete. However, when he was 28 years old, he started experiencing debilitating back pain. The subsequent MRI revealed that he had severe disc degeneration in his lumbar spine, and doctors told him his weightlifting career was over. Determined to defy expectations, he devoured every bit of information he could find related to his condition, nutrition, strength training, and recovery. After close to three years of careful research and application, he found that not only had he achieved pain-free movement, but he was also stronger than ever, and his physique had greatly improved. Coming from a career in education, he also realized that he had the skills to teach others what he had learned.

​

His mission is to help his clients crack the code to health, fitness, and longevity. He is dedicated to providing his clients with the tools, guidance, and support they need to reach their fitness goals while balancing the demands of work, relationships, and other aspects of their lives. He believes that everyone should have access to high-quality, affordable fitness coaching that empowers them to take charge of their health and well-being. Through personalized workout programs, nutritional advice, and lifestyle coaching, he aims to help his clients cultivate lasting habits that lead to greater vitality, strength, and happiness.

 

Cody is committed to continuous learning and growth alongside his clients. For that reason, he continually pursues knowledge, seeks out different perspectives, and hones his craft. In addition to being a certified personal trainer through the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) and PTA Global, he is a certified instructor of TRX, Stick Mobility, and Landmine University.

 

In addition to his love for fitness, Cody has a deep passion for travel. In 2011, he made the bold decision to move to Japan to teach English, where he spent two years before embarking on a nine-week backpacking journey through Europe. He then moved to South Korea to continue his teaching career, spending another two years there until the wanderlust struck again. Cody bought a one-way ticket to Cartagena, Colombia, and set off on a six-month backpacking trip across South America. After more than five years abroad, he decided to return to his roots in Southern California to be closer to his family and friends. Though San Diego is his home base, Cody still seizes every opportunity to travel and explore new places.
