JAY FLEER
OWNER / CHIEF OF BADASSERY and HEAD COACH
Jay retired from the Mission Police Department after 30 years in law enforcement. He served his community in a variety of roles and was passionate about community outreach and education. During Jay’s career, he served as a field training officer and an instructor for numerous law enforcement disciplines.
“I’ve always believed that taking care of people is the most important job we have. As a cop, that often meant that I took care of people during their worst times. My hope as a coach and gym owner is to take care of people and make their time at my gym the best hour of their day.”
After living an unhealthy lifestyle, including shift work, poor nutrition, and smoking, Jay began his fitness journey in 2014 when he quit smoking cold turkey after 20 years. He replaced the smoking habit with a running habit … until the weather turned cold and he discovered CrossFit. Jay has loved CrossFit from that very first workout. He began coaching at Sky’s Limit CrossFit in Waldo in 2020. Upon retiring from law enforcement in 2021, he opened the Mission Barbell Club.
Jay is a CrossFit Level 2 trainer, an Adaptive & Inclusive Trainer with Adaptive Training Academy and has many additional training certificates from CrossFit.
