Jared Oliver Evan Stewart “Big Stew”

Jared Oliver Evan Stewart “Big Stew”

Jared Oliver Evan Stewart “Big Stew” was born in Oklahoma City. Attended Heritage Hall where I won a state championship in 2010 as a defensive lineman. After high school, I attended the offense-defense preparatory school for fifth-year high school students where I was able to get into the All-American game where I played alongside now NFL stars Lamar Jackson and Saquon Barkley. I attended Langston University where I was an offensive lineman. While at Langston University I injured my knee which caused me to end my football career.

After my career, I fell into a small depression and I got up to 475lbs, so I did whatever I could to go in the opposite direction. Working out was my way of getting out of it so training became my new love. I’ve lost over 160 pounds and have a new career. I got into fitness to fight my own depression originally, then figured out I liked helping people reach their goals.

I’ve been training people for 3 years and am certified through NCSF. “If your goal doesn’t scare you, it isn’t big enough!”
