Hi I am John!

I understand that your busy schedule, physical limitations, and other obstacles have prevented you from reaching your goals.  This has driven me to work harder and come up with more creative solutions to create nutrition and exercise plans that are excuse-proof.

Meet John

I've been immersed in exercise, health, and fitness since I was seven years old, managing the sports teams my older brothers played on. I started working out at 13—that’s 40 years of chasing my passion for getting and staying as fit and strong as possible. Two of my first jobs were at a health club and GNC when I was 18, and I’ve never looked back. For over 35 years, I’ve worked, trained, and learned alongside thousands of clients, dedicating tens of thousands of hours to making fitness my full-time career. And to this day, I’m just as hungry and invested in helping you build confidence, health, and vitality.

​

No failed acting career here. No waiting for another opportunity to come my way. This is what I was born to do. The gym has been my laboratory—a place to test, refine, and develop programs that work for anyone, at any level, regardless of limitations, abilities, or experience.

More About John

I’ve made it my mission to pursue knowledge in every way possible (college courses, webinars, seminars, books, research journals, periodicals, and a variety of mentors and educators, and fitness professionals). There is no prejudice or narrow-mindedness in my approach which allows me to be supremely flexible and versatile in program design and to see and correct problems before they arise…

 

The list of my client’s success stories is too numerous to count and includes every demographic and goal type imaginable. An athlete living the college dream, a super busy corporate type, a mom with a never-ending to-do list, and a grandparent who wants to get down on the floor with the babies are treated with the same efficiency, expertise, professionalism, and get-it-done mentality…

I only know one way… that’s any and every way that leads to your success…
