David Jack has been a good trainer, partner, fitness model for Men’s Health exercise videos, and friend over the last 4 years, and this video (done for Reebok) gets at why he’s so good. He’s about fitness, but more interested in connecting. And connection is what it’s all about in life.

Dave’s also a deeply religious guy who works with causes that marry his interests with purpose, such as the ActivPrayer Project, which hosted a recent event in which a man did 2,501 pullups over 15 hours.

Most of all, Dave’s a dad, a husband, a friend, a believer, an inspiration. Thanks, Dave!
