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.

John is a great personal trainer in large part because he's an excellent teacher. His personal training sessions have taught me how to create a varied and effective workout. John consistently explains why we're doing what we're doing. He is very proactive too! He provides good information about healthy diets that is useful in everyday situations Very punctual and reliable, I've enjoyed every minute with him. After several sessions with him I have more energy and feel great! If you are based in San Diego, please contact him ... it could be your first step towards a better YOU.

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.

John is an outstanding trainer - he is helping my husband to lose weight and time up. It’s great that he comes to our house and has a flexible schedule. Plus he’s a very nice guy. Highly recommended.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Presently, I charge $50 per session for personal training. My specials include $70 for couples and a 5% discount for 20 sessions. This pricing includes a nutrition plan and ongoing nutritional counseling.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After you agree to work with me, we will schedule our first Zoom session. I use the first session to assess your limitations and strengths. It is also a time for you to get to know me and get comfortable working with me. I always proceed according to your pace. From that point on, we work together to reach our goals. I have been on this journey with many clients. So, I help can you through the rough spots and celebrate your victories.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a former champion athlete. I have two bachelor degrees from San Diego State Uni. and Grand Canyon Uni. I am state certified as a nutritionist. I am a licensed herbalist and I am a certified personal trainer. I'm constantly increasing my knowledge and sharing it with others.
