About
I LOVE what I do because it's not a job, it is my passion. I truly care about what my clients want to accomplish and I want them to go above and beyond. I get my clients fit and healthy for life. With a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Fitness & Wellness from Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama and a Master of Sport Science degree in Sport Fitness from the United States Sports Academy in Daphne (Alabama), and as a Master Certified Personal Trainer Phase II with AAA/ISMA, I have over 25 years of experience in the Health & Fitness Industry—both as an educator and as a consultant. I am that guy that helps people reach their fitness goals and specializes in bridging the gap to the next level.
Seeing the smile on my clients faces and knowing they have fought hard to lose weight or gain healthy weight gives me the greatest joy. I love the 'high fives' of accomplishment, conversations, and the trust my clients have that I can get them where they want to be.

I met Jovon through Thumbtack after searching online for several days for a personaltrainer. I was ready to get back into a workout routine after leaving a local gym 6 months prior. I knew that I needed accountability and someone with professional knowledge to help get me into shape.
The first time I met Jovon, I came to the gym where we talked about my goals and how long I wanted to work with him. I was so hesitant to commit to anything longer than 3 months, but after working with him for 3 months now, I am so glad I did! I am really starting to see a change in my strength, my muscles are more toned, and I just feel better in my skin. Seeing results only motivates me more!
The first couple of weeks were tough because I was so out of shape. The fist day, I was ready to quit after the first 5 minutes. Jovon always pushes me to the limit, but encourages me every step of the way, and that is exactly what I needed. I work with Jovon 3 times a week, and never know what to expect the next time I come in. He is very innovative with the various exercises, and I look forward to what he has planned the next time.

I just started with Jovon. But the experience has been wonderful. I can already tell a difference. He pushes you when you want to give up. I need that person telling me I can do 5 more. I workout on my own in between our sessions and he noticed. Which of course made me feel good. Every time we meet it's different and we are always having fun. He has advised me about my nutrition too which has helped. If you need a friend in your corner Jovon is for you!! I highly, highly recommend him.

I just began a new job out of college and was experiencing a lifestyle I was not used to. Working a long day was causing me to snack more, and turn to the couch when I came home. I was always tired, and always hungry. I started to have trouble fitting into my clothes and noticed my thighs werent always that big. I tried to get into a workout routine but couldnt stick with anything. My roommate, who was already a client of Jovons, suggest I attend a few sessions with her. Jovon was offering the first 8 session for free so it was something I couldnt say no to I had nothing to lose. After my first session I was exhausted yet proud, I felt like I had never worked that hard. I felt great after, I saw the beginning of something that could help save me from the cycle I was falling victim to. I noticed an increase in energy, a willingness to get off the couch, and to put the cookies down. I had found a new way to work out my stress. I will admit, I was not thrilled about driving 20-25 minutes out of my way to the gym, but it was worth the cost at the end of the day. It was a great service that would usually cost a fortune in Charlotte. I am stronger, healthier, and happier. And I dont have to do girl push-ups anymore!

After purchasing a monthâs worth of training sessions on Groupon, I met Jovon for an initial consultation. At that time I was finally determined to take charge of my life and make a commitment to doing something for ME. I was tired of feeling sorry for myself and accepting that I had to continue in my âcurrentâ state. I realized I needed an accountability partner in my weight loss journey. Needless to say this conclusion came months after starting a weight loss program and once again falling off â a typical roller coaster ride for me â followed by several months of doing nothing at all. I decided I wanted to live and live longer for me and for my child. That day I said when I die, let it not be because of something that was within my control to change about me!
I almost didnât become one of his clients because I didnât want to start something again and not follow through with it. Thus, I was doubting tenacity and commitment before I even gave it a shot. However, Jovon called to set up the consultation, so I had to go. My first session with Jovon was exhilarating and excruciating at the same time!!! After a few weeks, I told him that I looked forward to coming and was excited about leaving, but I was still on the fence with that in between stuff!! Honestly, I do love the difference I feel after every session with Jovon.
He has helped me developed a daily schedule to ensure that Iâm moving every day. He also has given loads of advice on nutrition along with modified exercises for my specific issues. Itâs not easy, but it is so worth it! I could not have found a better trainer for me â and Iâm something to deal with. :-) Great Job, Jovon!!!!
