About
I'm a personal trainer based in the New York metro area ready to help you reach your fitness and physique goals. I have been training for ten years and enjoy working with a wide variety of clients: busy professionals, kids and teens, seniors, those with special needs, dietary restrictions and post injury rehab and strengthening. I love working with people and value all of my clients. I work both in gyms (semi private in Queens and Manhattan and building/home gyms) and virtually.
In my training I employ movements that build structural integrity, strength and a symmetric physique and scale them appropriately to the client's abilities. I believe form is paramount to training safely and effectively. As a type one diabetic and celiac, I also have a unique and extensive background in nutrition and various diets, and have helped create better dietary habits and strategies consistent with client goals and lifestyles.
Please message me for more details regarding rates, packages, training locations, or just to chat to see if we are a good fit.

John is an exceptional trainer! He has helped me significantly with my fitness, weight loss, functionality and nutrition. I am a type 1 diabetic and my blood sugar controls have never been better since I started working with John. Additionally, I had a reverse shoulder replacement in December 2023 and I thought this was going to impact my ability to do much in the way of upper body training. Thanks to John, I am now able to do full pushups and bench presses and my shoulder has strengthened. He takes time to explain the how and why of each exercise we do. John is pleasant, fun to train with and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.

Amazing! Truly an incredible trainer. Very hands on and patient and kind. He's very easy to talk to and knows how to explain the workouts in such a way that even the complete beginner can do them, and have the confidence to do them alone when need be.
Very good with working with your schedule and knows how to form the perfect workout regimen for your body and health goals. He's incredibly knowledgeable on the body and you can tell that he's passionate about what he does just from chatting with him for a few minutes. I can't recommend this trainer highly enough

Book with John! I used him over the summer (2-3 sessions per week) and he was fantastic in creating a routine that I could stick to and allowed me to build muscle! John is friendly, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. Regardless of your goal, he will know how to get you there and will motivate you to work harder than you could alone. It was an absolute pleasure working with John, and I would 110% do it again!

John and I have been working together for 6 months. I've worked with other trainers before with decent success, but I felt that after a little while it just became a routine and I wasn't moving forward. John always tries to keep me moving forward and I feel like he genuinely cares that I improve. He knows how to push just enough to make me work hard without feeling beat up. He always encourages me and it honestly makes me want to work harder.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My in person training rate is inclusive of some gym and travel costs. In certain situations where there is no fee I may be able to offer a slight discount and some gyms charge more than others so there is some variation. Feel free to message.
I offer discounts on packages as well.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we discuss goals, lifestyle and habits with regard to training, and past health and training history. After some assessments, I communicate where they stand and what my plan would be for helping them achieve their goals both from an exercise, lifestyle, and nutritional perspective. We then work out some short term goals to help us get there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am NASM certified, have liability insurance, CPR/AED certification, and specializations in youth and senior fitness, and nutrient timing.
