Coaching that builds on itself, month after month.

Groundwork is a small coaching practice built around long-term relationships, individual programming, and results grounded in evidence — not trends.

The Approach

Most coaching relationships are transactional by design — you book a session, you show up, it ends. The work resets. There's no continuity, no real accumulation, and no one who actually knows how you move, what's changed, or where you're stuck.

I work differently. Whether you're training one-on-one or as part of a small group, I'm not a service you book — I'm a coach who knows you. Your training, your schedule, your history, your goals. The work compounds because the relationship does.

Small Group

Group Coaching

$800 first month · $600 / month ongoing

  • Individual programming built around your specific goals
  • Monthly one-on-one check-in to assess progress and adjust
  • Direct access between sessions for questions
  • Onboarding assessment before the group begins

Jake Tipane

I've spent 20 years working with high-performing individuals who want results grounded in evidence, not trends. My background is in exercise physiology and movement — I care about why things work, not just whether they do.

Groundwork is a small practice by design. I take on a limited number of clients because real coaching requires real attention. If you're serious about the work, I'll meet you there.

Based in San Francisco. Working with clients in person and remotely.
