“After my knee operation five years, I was making little progress with the physical therapy program. So, I turned to John, and, within a few months, my knee was recovered.”

I continued to work with John and soon I was in the best shape since college. John understood my situation and created workouts that were focused on my needs. The sessions are fun and different every time. John has not only been able to provide me with a great training regime, he has shown his diversity and knowledge by also working with sons and spouse. They have really enjoyed their time with … [Read more...]

“I had gained a lot of weight due to a high stress job and working overtime instead of working out.”

So as a result I was physically weak and overweight, in fact obese the doctor said. I was horrified to hear that word, I had never been that heavy in my life. And now my daughter was getting married in a year and I was panicked. I decided to work with a personal trainer. The first personal trainer I worked with made me feel like I was so out of shape and that my situation was hopeless. I was so … [Read more...]

“John has helped me evolve from an “old school” gym rat focused on bench press and curls, to a guy who understands the value and power of a perfectly executed, simple push-up…”

I am in my mid-fifties (okay, I’m 57!), and I have been in and out of gyms all my life, with some lengthy absences spaced within that time. I came to personal training with a “well, it can’t hurt” attitude, and, I admit, a bit of embarrassment about this being an over-the-top luxury that I wouldn’t need to indulge in if I had an ounce of gumption. Well, one thing is true, it is a luxury…but it is … [Read more...]

“He helps you gradually grow into his program while increasing strength, balance, and an awareness of your body…”

Bone spurs around my hip socket stopped me from playing tennis. As a result, I lost the benefits of my primary physical activity and I quickly found myself gaining weight. I also was in increasing pain in and around my back. My doctors diagnosed “degenerative disk disease,” which it turns out, is another name for an aging back. They suggested strong doses of ibuprofen. The medication did not help … [Read more...]

“Nothing changed my game for the better as much as- or as quickly as- working with John on my core, stability, and strength…”

One of my greatest passions in life is golf. Over the years I have spent thousands of dollars on swing lesions, gizmos, gadgets, and dozens of clubs with the “latest” golf technology. Nothing changed my game for the better as much as- or as quickly as- working with John on my core, stability, and strength. With much less effort I am hitting the ball further and with much greater consistency. And … [Read more...]

“My core strength is better now than it’s ever been…”

When I first met John my back was aching regularly and my body felt like it was in knots. In the past I had enjoyed running, tennis, surfing, and other sports that I was no longer able to do. John showed me how to stretch properly and develop my endurance and strength. My core strength is better now than it’s ever been. I am able to do so much more than before…pain free. Even after rotator cuff … [Read more...]
