Jay Sutaria

I’m Jay, the CEO and Founder of STF Houston.

My passion for training started in my teens, and it became clear early on that the fitness industry lacked real education and evidence-based standards. After earning my Bachelor’s in Exercise Science from the University of Houston and spending three years teaching at the National Personal Training Institute, I built STF Houston to raise the bar and bring true, science-driven training to the city.

My philosophy is grounded in anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics—training is a science, not a trend. Real results come from mastering foundational movement first: barefoot mechanics, controlled bodyweight tension, and clean patterns before ever adding external load.

When I’m not refining our systems or elevating the client experience, I’m usually traveling to work with clients around the world—often with my wife and two sons alongside me.
