Real People, Real Results, Guaranteed!

My initial goal of just losing “the last 10 pounds” was accomplished quickly and was surpassed as I lost almost 15 pounds and gained much more muscle tone/definition.  I can say that I genuinely enjoy coming to workout with John every week.  He pushes me harder than I would ever push myself.  Even when I feel like I can’t keep going, he knows how to encourage me to continue. John stands out with the amount of knowledge about personal training.  He is also very down to earth and I like that he sincerely cares about his clients and what is going on with their lives.  During the sessions, it’s nice to be able to talk to him to keep my mind off of whatever it is that I’m doing in that exact moment or even in my life.

I would definitely recommend starting training!  Training with John has made me more confident in myself and happier overall.  I have much more energy and balance in my life.  Eating well and working out has been such a huge part of my life and more of a habit than a chore.

I was 40 pounds overweight, had recently broken my leg and didn’t know how to get started.  In my first session I told John that “just keep me coming” was his only goal.  Now I know how to maintain an active lifestyle for the first time in my life - I love to work out.  I'm doing activities I couldn't do ten years ago! 

The best of all for me is that he’s a great motivator and he does it all with great feeling for each of his clients.  Not all of us want to do a boot camp and he doesn’t need to employ fad-inspired “drill sergeant” techniques to get you and keep you motivated and working hard.  It is hard at times, but I always feel tremendously better after training. It’s a new emotional attachment that is anchored in me because John taught me how.

He is also incredibly knowledgeable.  I’ve asked him just about every question you could imagine about food and exercise.  He’s patient and very helpful.  I consider John an incredible trainer and recommend him all the time and without reservation.

I initially had reservations about starting, but after nearly 2 years, down 40 pounds with proper training and eating, I feel tremendously better.

I started training with John 8 months before my wedding and my initial goals were to lose weight and become toned.  I achieved both of these goals under your direction and was so happy with my results and genuinely enjoyed going to the sessions that I couldn’t fathom cutting back on the training sessions after the wedding. 

In fact, I was still attending 2 personal training sessions per week up until this October when I stopped training 2 weeks before having a baby.

When I first started training with John, I had never really lifted weights and felt that doing so would make me bulky and was scared I would hurt myself because I didn’t know how to lift properly.  Now I look forward to certain lifting exercises like deadlifting, which I never thought I would do, let alone enjoy.  In fact, learning how to do exercises that I have never done before is one of my favorite parts!

My only fear with recommending you to family and friends (which I would do!) is that you would become too popular and I wouldn't be able to schedule training sessions anymore.

Training has become an important and regular part of my life.  I now care more about working out and am more conscious of what I eat.  After having the baby, I stopped training for 2 and a half months and I felt like a part of me was incomplete because it has become such an integral part of who I am.

John really educated me on the benefits of lifting weights and how they would help me reach my personal fitness goals. I was surprised by how much of a “fitness nerd” you are.  In my past experiences, trainers I had worked with did not know as much as I would expect them to given that personal training was their livelihood.  You are on a whole different level.  You know the technical science behind the fitness and nutrition and you are educated about the psychology and wellness aspects of a healthy lifestyle.  It isn't one-sided training with you, it is all encompassing.  

As a mother of 3, I never really felt like I had the time to workout, but I’m glad I just started.  John has taken the time to show me proper technique and has pushed me further than I would push myself. He knows what I am capable of and uses that to push me further. I’ve seen amazing results!

You know those last 5-10 pounds you “can’t lose,” well I lost them working with John!  

I finally hit my ideal weight and now have a toned back and arms and have much more endurance, although we never did any jogging.  Through hard work, I can complete 20 push-ups, 3 pull-ups and deadlift over 175 pounds! In addition to those results, John has taken the time to offer additional advice on diet and taking supplements while working around my crazy schedule.

Training with John has changed my life for the better, not only in terms of bodily changes, but with increased self-confidence and a lot more energy.

I feel and look better now, at 40 than I did at 30!

As I was approaching my next milestone birthday, I wondered if it would be possible to lose weight, get rid of the nagging fat around my abdomen and thigh area, while achieving more of an overall sculpted and muscular physique, especially at this stage in my life.

As of now I lost all the weight I wanted to lose/decreased my body fat, achieved my desired sculpted look by adding definition to my waist/abdomen, back, arms, glutes, and legs. I’ve learned how to eat better and healthier foods. I look fit, feel stronger and more energized than ever.

With his positive approach, John worked with me consistently twice a week on a great strength training program coupled with an appropriate effective meal plan.

John has always been encouraging by pushing me to do more than I realize I can, even when I whine.  He always seems to know how much you can really do and is really genuinely interested in helping you to succeed as you progress every step of the way. I even managed to deadlift up to 200 pounds.  Wow, I never imagined I’d ever be able to do that!

One thing that has really impressed me, about John, is his deep understanding on the physiology of the human body, from body building, effects of injuries, metabolism, hormones, fat burning capabilities, effects of food and environmental factors on the body and much more. It’s nice to know that you can ask him anything and get a detailed full answer from him.  It’s not all about just how to do exercises, there is more involved in achieving overall health and fitness and John can certainly educate you on that. John is a true Professional and Master in his field.

At 115 lbs., 5’ 1’’ tall, I’m definitely where I want to be.  If you want to make a change to look and feel great and healthier, then John is the man to see. You won’t be disappointed."

When I started working with John, I had an initial goal of losing 10 pounds and ended up losing 15 pounds while achieving so much more!   

After hitting that initial goal, and working with John for about a year and a half, the changes I see in myself is more than I could ask for.  I have lost fat, gained muscle, toned up more than before and beyond that, I’ve learned to eat healthier while being more conscientious of my overall nutrition.

Many times I walk into the studio tired, not in the mood and grumble through the workout, but in the end I am always happy that I showed up.  John is encouraging and pushes you to do more than you ever thought you could without being aggressive.  I am truly grateful to have John as my trainer!
