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.

His knowledge on nutrition is what I've been looking for. He's helped me with my meal plans, I'm starting to cut out all the snacking by eating more in tune with my body and workout. He is very informative. As I work out, he explains what muscle/s that particular exercise is working. He explains in detail certain muscle groups, which help me understand.

John was amazing! He was also my first trainer !!! I have always been very active & into keeping up with my fitness but never understood how to eat properly. In just a month John toned me up more than ever.. I learned new workouts that really focused on certain muscles in the body. I have always struggled with keeping my arms toned & now they have never looked better. John is also very responsive and answered all my questions. He makes working out easy, but the next day you will feel the sore!! I’m so excited to see my progress as time goes on. John made a great difference on my nutrition and working out properly. He’s a great man overall.

I was hesitant at 1st to use this online platform for my nutrition needs yet took the plunge into uncharted waters. John is an asset to anyone looking for a nutritional plan. We began working together in August. At the time I weighed 200-205lbs and really needed to get back down in the 180s. I had nutritional classes in college and had a depth of understanding but really need a solid program to keep me on track. John listened intently to needs and my exercise schedule. He then took that information to create a personalized nutritional plan that I am still following the logic today. Happy to report I walk around today, just 4 months later, at 180-185 and have tested myself all the way down to 174. If you are looking to shed a few pounds and keep them off you have to commit and follow closely-remember it is a lifestyle change. John can, without doubt help you achieve your goals. Stay Focused! :-)
