Austin DeCotiis – Founder
Hello, my name is Austin DeCotiis and I am the founder of Aktive Athletes. My goal upon creating Aktive Athletes is to serve YOU the athlete, and give you everything you need to succeed on the field and in the fitness facility. As someone who is passionate about training athletes, I feel it is important to for me to train and continue to work hard and get better. In my fitness/athletic journey I have accomplished many things I at one time believed wouldn’t be possible for me to do. These things include making my college baseball team as a walk on, dunking a basketball, cutting 4 tenths off of my forty yard dash time, Squatting 2.25 times body weight, bench pressing 300 lbs, deadlifting 565 lbs, and losing over 60 lbs, most of which was body fat. For some, I understand these things may not be impressive, but I am proud of the progress I have made since I have started and continue to reach goals I set for myself. I work hard and expect nothing less from my athletes. I have been coaching various athletes since 2013 and have helped them achieve their goals both on and off the field. I promise if you choose to work with me I will help you as much as I can and give you all the guidance needed to get to where you want to be. Also be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel for video content and to follow my athletic journey as well. Lets get to work!
Jeremy DeCotiis NSCA-CPT, CPPS
What’s up! I’m Jeremy DeCotiis and I’m co-owner and coach at Aktive Athletes. I am a former all conference college baseball player for Misericordia University. In my tenure at MU I was a four year starter and am also the school’s leader in hit by pitches. One of the things I pride myself off of is my ability to outwork my competition. At the end of the day we can’t always control the situations we’re put in but rather than dwell on it, I would rather make up the difference with my work ethic. Since college I have continued to train and have competed with my brother in sports like powerlifting. Since 2018 I have been coaching athletes competing in various sports and my goal is to help them unlock their athletic potential. I am also a Certified Personal Trainer through the NSCA and a Certified Physical Preparation Specialist under industry legends Jim Smith & Joe Defranco.
