The first step is a free consult so I can assess your current situation and goals. I offer packages ranging from 24/7 virtual access to a fully immersive approach where I handle all food, all workouts, all coaching talks, etc. I love watching clients begin to enjoy life more as they achieve their goals.

I worked with Jon-Michael for a 5-day private training intensive before the holidays. He helped not only jumpstart my new year fitness plans but also provided education on how to approach my specific goals and how to progress after our private sessions.

I started working with Jon-Michael about a month and a half ago. I had been eating poorly, hardly drinking any water, and was generally lost health-wise. I had a long history of different confused attempts at weight loss that left me realizing that I needed help, someone to guide me and keep me accountable. I called him when I was turned off by a local gym's pressure and dishonesty regarding their training program. From the start, he was interested in what my current habits were, what my goals were, and what I was open to learning. He was and continues to be patient, supportive, and encouraging while giving me the tools and weekly motivation to keep going, make daily small changes to feel better, do more physically, and make progress on my overall health. He has a genuine interest in helping people, and offers help regarding your daily habits (water intake, breathing), as well as nutrition and fitness counseling. Although my journey to health has only just begun, I've already noticed a difference in my body and ability, and feel nothing but optimistic and excited about the future.

I am a motivated person, but I found myself in a rut. Unlike some people, my situation was not that I didn't know what to eat and what not to eat. As a vegetarian for more than 25 years, I have always known what I should eat. But, I had fallen into bad habits of eating too much of even the "right" foods and I had gained a lot of weight. I originally contacted Jon-Michael hoping that he could come stay at my home with me and whip me into shape. I live alone and I was concerned that left to my own devices, I would continue to make bad choices. Unfortunately, Jon-Michael had already accepted another in-home type of situation at the same time and he was unavailable. However, he said we could work remotely, via text, e-mail and phone. Being a very "connected" person, I thought it was worth a try. My interactions with Jon-Michael were beyond my expectations. He is an incredibly kind and caring person, yet he is capable of calling out destructive habits and behaviors and re-directing one in a straight-forward and brutally honest kind of way at the same time. Speaking to Jon-Michael and hearing his voice in the audio-messages he sent to me was so beneficial, because it is in his voice and tone that one finds the power behind his thoughts and ideas. I have worked with a lot of trainers in my day and there is no doubt that Jon-Michael is a different breed. In the course of one month, Jon-Michael and I made enormous progress never actually seeing each other face to face. He was responsive, instructive, insightful, kind, supportive, brutally honest and no-nonsense all rolled up into one. Now, many months later, I am well on the road back to the old me in both the physical and the mental sense. If you are looking for an out of the ordinary experience with a personal trainer or someone to help you in some aspect of your personal life, I unqualifiedly recommend Jon-Michael. I instantly felt connected to him and it is hard for me to imagine that you wouldn't also.

I've been working with Jon-Mike for about five years. He has been a great coach. He is extremely knowledgeable in both physiology and nutrition. Jon is really inspiring. He is an amazing athlete and incredibly strong. He is motivating but at the same time sensitive to my limitations. I feel like I'm working out with a friend, not a drill seargent. I always look forward to our sessions and hate when it's over. Jon-Mike is very reliable and always on time, unlike many other trainers I've worked with.

I was always an athlete growing up, and didn't think a trainer could offer anything I didn't previously know. However, I came to a point in life where I began gaining weight despite the fact that I had trained for and run a half marathon. Obviously running alone wasn't cutting it, and I decided to give Jon-Michael a try. Through our training sessions, I began working parts of the body I had been neglecting on my own. He taught me a breath and mental peace that made vigorous work outs far less daunting. Through gaining muscle tone, I'm happy with the way my body is functioning.
