Personal training with John is the most beneficial...

Personal training with John is the most beneficial health investment I ve made. When I first started working with him I was a little dubious since my prior experience with a personal trainer (several years ago at a different fitness facility) was not very helpful at all. Because of that but knowing that I needed some help improving the effectiveness of my workouts, I decided to commit to three months of training with him with a primary goal of learning as much as I could in that time and then continuing on my own.

During my initial sessions, John spent time assessing my areas of need and then tailored my workouts to address those specific needs. His persistence on perfecting my form helped create improvements very quickly. In those first few months, my workouts helped me gain strength, corrected imbalances, and reduced aches and pains which improved my sleep quality.

I have been a runner my whole life but a few years ago I began struggling with any run over 2 or 3 miles due to pain through my left hip and leg. Correcting imbalance and building strength in my lower body and core helped me become a runner again. In general, I just feel more capable now which has led to greater participation in activities that I enjoy.

Due to the benefits and improvements that I continue to see, it is a no-brainer for me to continue my personal training sessions with John. I strongly recommend visiting with John to discuss your goals.
