Before Jason starts his workout, is a subordinate clause (SC) which includes a noun and verb, but cannot stand on its own to become a sentence.

Explanation:

This is a clause (C) since it comprises the noun and verb, which carries it past a less complicated phrase (P) which is a collection of two or three words.

It is not an (IC) independent clause because if it were to stand alone, its meaning would be incomplete.

A subordinate clause (SC) usually indicates the why, when, where, who, or how when it is attached to the main thought of the sentence, as it does here.
