This is my first personal trainer and he is doing a superb job. John is attentive, patience, knowledgeable and has a passion for fitness. I am pleased with our training regimen thus far, I am not at my goal weight yet, but I have noticed my progression so far.

I’ve really been enjoying my time working with John. He is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and flexible. With his support, I’ve already seen weight loss and strength gains in a short amount of time. I love his tailored meal prep and his understanding of the fact that I’m starting from the very beginning—he has never made me feel bad about that. He’s patient, encouraging, and always brings a positive attitude to every session. His workouts are challenging but still doable, and he explains every exercise clearly, making me feel confident and safe as a beginner. I’ve noticed my energy levels improving, and I’m finally excited about fitness. John is reliable, professional, and genuinely invested in my success. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs that extra motivation to get started.
