Testimonials
“I have been working out all my life. As I have gotten older, I seemed to be making little or no progress. I started working out with John about 5 years ago. The results have been significant. Through the core strength work we do, I have increased my overall strength, and improved my flexibility and balance. I have also achieved the body weight I desired.” — Frank
“I have been interested in health and fitness since college (nearly 16 years), with varying degrees of success. I started working with John 4 years ago, after my second child. I came in frustrated with injuries, back pain, and simply not being able to perform athletically the way I did before children. John and I immediately clicked and my mind was opened to an entirely new way of looking at my body and my health. John customizes each and every workout to meet my changing goals. But the work we do in session is a small part of the overall benefit I get for working with him.
The sessions get me focused on how I am going to eat, what other exercise I am going to do to supplement our sessions, how I will avoid injury and how to maximize my health on a holistic level. My body is stronger, faster, healthier than it has ever been and I have achieved all of the goals that we have set, from number of pull-ups, to time to complete a 5k, to fat content all while remaining injury free.
I was able to achieve these goals in part because of my hard work but I could not achieve them without the direction and inspiration of John Johnson. I highly recommend John who is more than just a trainer but a way of life.” — Jessica
“As I approached 50, the pounds crept up and so did my clothing size. I started doing boot camp with a friend a great way to do it, since we encouraged and ‘guilted’ each other into going. After making it through the first month, I started noticing my clothes fit better and an unwillingness to miss a class (it’s rather addictive). John was encouraging and VERY careful to make sure we were doing the exercises in a manner that would not hurt us and the group is all great! He even helped me overcome some of my mental obstacles.” — Rhonda
“Working with John at Boot Camp in the mornings is a great way for me to keep fit, and the personal instruction and group atmosphere make it fun and easy for me to maintain an exercise program. The workouts are challenging and varied so they don’t get stale. John is a terrific motivator and has excellent people skills so he knows just how to provide instruction while keeping you on track to achieve the level of fitness you desire.“ — Ken
