I've been working with John now for around nine months and have been very pleased at the changes I've been able to make in terms of gaining muscle, developing strength and losing fat. He puts thought into his training plan for you but also integrates feedback along the way. John is very much interested in your success and as a nice plus is fun to work with.

If you want to use every ounce of energy and feel the most alive you ever have, John is you trainer. I started with a low level of fitness and over a year and a half, have been replacing pounds of body fat with muscle month after month and feeling better in every way. John is extremely knowledgeable about body composition, exercise and nutrition and puts together a plan that fits the goals you want, be it strength, speed or if you just want to look like him ;) Everything is tracked so you can see your progress which helps when it gets tough. It does take time but you have to trust the process, it works. He will push you to your best, you'll grow muscles you never knew you had but theres always fun and good laugh to be had. It doesn't get easier, you just get faster stronger and lift heavier. Flexibility is great, whether its your local gym or home gym (my preference) and if the session starts late, you'll go until your finished. If you are looking for a personal trainer that actual cares about your health/wellness/fitness, John is all that, and more.

I could not rank John higher. I HATED exercise before working with John. He makes it much better with fascinating conversation on any topic that is of interest to you. He designs an ideal workout -- the first thing all my friends say when they see me is how much better I look. He knows his stuff and will use his expertise to advise all aspects of your life -- not just the workout but also give you tips on sleep and nutrition tips. I literally have been blown away. I could not imagine a better personal trainer.

I had an amazing month long routine with John as my very energetic trainer. The exercises were always exciting, new, and challenging as I also appreciated that it was tailored for myself as I was dealing with a pretty hardcore injury. In a span, we were able to achieve great objectives as well as strengthen my knee which has helped me get back into shape for work, as well as bring my cardio to a whole new level with his continuous motivation and push!

I've worked with trainers on and off over the past 10 years and never had a trainer that I actually wanted to continue seeing for a long period of time until I started working with John. In full transparency, I used to be a colleague of John's back when he was in corporate America - and when I was looking for a trained, I remembered that he had made this career move - so it was a no brainer to reach out to him. John's positive attitude, pleasant sense of humor, reliability, and intelligence are all factors that make him "not your average trainer." It made our sessions enjoyable, even when he was kicking my ass to help me achieve my goals. I'm super pleased with the results I got from our time together - tightening up, increasing strength, and learning how to structure workouts - and people around me were noticing the difference in my body as well which is always an added bonus. 10/10 would recommend
