Feel Stronger, Move Better & Feel Like You Again
If you're tired of losing weight, gaining it back, and feeling like you have to start over again... you're in the right place!
You probably already know a lot about what you "should" be doing.
Eat better. Move more. Drink water. Get enough sleep.
But knowing what to do usually isn't the hardest part. The hard part is making it work with your job, family, travel, dinners out, stress, injuries, busy weeks, and everything else life throws at you 😜 That's where I come in!
I'm John, and I've spent over 12 years helping people build strength, improve their health, lose weight, and feel more confident in their bodies.
With a Master's in Exercise Science and a Bachelor's in Human Nutrition, I combine the science of exercise and nutrition with a practical approach that works in real life.
My philosophy is simple: Your health and fitness plan should fit YOUR life, not the other way around.
Whether you're working out at home, in the gym, or somewhere in between, we'll build a personalized plan around your goals, fitness level, schedule, and what your body needs.
And we're not just focusing on the number on the scale.
We're working on building strength, improving mobility, increasing energy, moving with confidence, and creating habits that help you feel like YOU again ❤️
My 1:1 coaching gives you the structure, guidance, accountability, and support to make lasting progress, without feeling like you have to figure everything out alone.
For clients focused on weight loss, my coaching program includes a goal of losing 10-30 pounds in 6 months, guaranteed. We'll discuss the details of that guarantee and what makes sense for your individual goals!
No crash diets. No extreme workouts. No starting over every Monday 👊

My Commitment to You 🙌
If we agree on a realistic goal together and you fully participate in the program, I’m committed to helping you reach it.
If you haven’t reached that goal within the timeframe we set together, I’ll continue coaching you at no additional cost until you do.
If we decide to work together, my goal isn’t just to sell you coaching. My goal is to help you succeed ❤️

Coach John is amazing! I have been working with him for the past several months and I would recommend him. I started this training journey during one of the most difficult times in my life, plus I am very busy with traveling, and he has been so very patient with me. He asks questions, he’s compassionate and checks-in on my progress without being overbearing. He’s very encouraging and making sure that I have all the tools and information I need to succeed. He has provided training to accommodate not only my crazy schedule but also modified workouts when I had an injury. Since starting the program, I have lost weight (didn’t have a lot to lose), but I did reach my 1st goal and very close to the 2nd! I have started working out more consistently, making better choices with food and I’m seeing a change in how my clothes fit. Most importantly I am building my confidence back. Thank you, Coach John!

I loved working with John - I did a four-month program with him, and not only hit my goals (down multiple sizes, several inches, 20 pounds lost and composition improved!) but also felt the mindset shift it takes to make the changes permanent. I liked that he'd change up my workout routines regularly to keep them interesting and fresh, and he was quick to update things when I had scheduling / life conflicts to help me stay on track even when things were busy and complicated. He was also very encouraging and helped answer my questions, especially as I was off-boarding and needed help with the "future state" planning to go solo. He also had good recs when I was looking for equipment, food options, etc. to upgrade my process. Highly recommend! TrustPilot 5 ⭐️ Review

I can’t say enough great things about John as both a workout and nutrition coach. He goes the extra mile continuously. He’s introduced me to ideas and approaches I had never even heard of before, and the results speak for themselves. He always is sending me links for things that can help with sleep, tiredness after work, etc. He even made a recommendation for my dogs for their skin problems. Haha What really sets John apart is how personable and positive he is. He takes the time to listen and genuinely understands what I’m experiencing. Every time I think I’ve learned a lot overall with health and fitness, he continues to teach me even more. He does an amazing job explaining how my body reacts to different foods and why I might feel certain ways after eating, which has been incredibly helpful. His workouts are also excellent challenging but doable and tailored in a way that works for me. Since working with him, I’ve lost 34 pounds and I’m still making progress. Beyond the physical changes, this journey has made me more active as a parent and has boosted my confidence in a big way. I actually look forward to continuing to work with John long-term. He is a 10 out of 10, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to make lasting changes. TrustPilot 5 ⭐️ Review

I worked with John last year on the start to my wellness journey. He took the time to get to know me,my life and my habits to be able to get the perfect work out routine and diet that worked for me abd my life style. Its the first time i have actually stuck with something. Our weekly touch bases were very important and I didnt feel like he was just checking boxes, but really wanted to be involved and supportive. For anyone who is looking to start their health/weight loss journey or even better the one you're on now.... I would totally work with John. Also: it works I lost 40 lbs now. TrustPilot 5 ⭐️ Review

He’s not only shows that he cares but he’s always willing to help you and always willing to take any advice. Needed to get you on the right path to your weight loss journey. I started off with 275 pounds and I am down to 161. I feel great more energy and I challenge myself every day. John shown support and also helped me with a great meal plan to continue with my weight loss. He is amazing. TrustPilot 5 ⭐️ Review

A Knowledgeable, Flexible Trainer Who Truly Listens John is an outstanding personal trainer who consistently goes above and beyond. He is incredibly accommodating and adaptable, always willing to adjust workouts based on my goals, schedule, or how my body is feeling. His knowledge really shows, he explains the why behind what I am doing, which helps me stay motivated. What truly sets John apart is his openness and creativity. He’s always willing to entertain (and thoughtfully refine!) my crazy ideas while making sure everything is safe, effective, and aligned with my goals. His flexibility, expertise, and positive attitude make working with him both productive and enjoyable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who truly listens and collaborates.

Fitness Coaching that Meets You Where You Are I can’t recommend John enough. He helped me build a sustainable routine with meal planning, workouts, and supplements tailored to my goals. What impressed me most was how much he listened and took my medical conditions into account when building my plan. It never felt like a cookie-cutter program. Everything was personalized and thoughtful. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your health and long-term success, he’s the real deal. TrustPilot 5 ⭐️ Review

I look and feel like my best self! I worked with John for a little over a year. I feel like he always understood what my goals were. He never made it too difficult on me. He challenged me every day and told me when to rest when I needed to. I’ve lost almost 20 pounds. I look and feel great. The biweekly check-ins and the app tasks kept me consistent. I feel like I have the tools to stay consistent and walk away, knowing that I can keep going. John is super supportive, friendly and energetic. TrustPilot 5 ⭐️ Review

Coach John has helped me lose over 20 pounds, but what truly sets him apart is that he focuses on overall health, not just nutrition. He genuinely cares about what’s going on in your life and how it impacts your goals. He’s encouraging, follows through, checks in throughout the week, and always responds in a timely manner. Our bi-weekly meetings are incredibly helpful, and he adapts everything to what actually works for you. As a working mom, planning can be really hard, but he meets you where you are and walks with you every step of the way. His recommendations are realistic, affordable, and effective.

John works with what I’m comfortable with and what I can do. He puts together very doable workouts that I’ve enjoyed. I don’t have a gym membership, just some equipment at home and he builds the workout totally around what I have. Lately, I’ve been on a running kick, so he’s been working with me in how to maximize my runs and improve my effort and time. His suggestions have been game changers on my improvement. I went though a rough patch last year and feeling down on myself/exercise and he helped me get past it and I was able to get back on the saddle because of him. I really love working with John.

I have given myself zero time to fit workouts and nutrition in, I wasn’t even getting enough sleep…working two businesses took a huge toll on my body and John has been so gracious during the whole process! I have learned to be kind to myself and that I need to celebrate the small wins! I would have never turned over a new leaf, if it wasn’t for John, and I am just so grateful for his knowledge and most importantly, his patience!!!! TrustPilot 5 ⭐️ Review

John has been super great to work with. He always has suggestions/alternatives that work best for me and my specific situation.

Top Tier Coach John is amazing! He truly cares about his clients and their success, whatever success looks like. My vision changed maybe 3 times over throughout my time with him, from losing weight to training for a half marathon to hiking 100+ miles on a backpacking trip. John is so knowledgeable and would be so amped to answer any and every question I had. If he didn’t know the answers, he’d find them for me and have a mini presentation about my questions and how we could apply stuff to my routine. He’s worth every penny and some, I would highly highly recommend him. TrustPilot 5 ⭐️ Review

Coach John is the best ! So, what can you say about Coach John? I was looking for accountability, and Coach John gave me that. He listens to what you have to say and makes suggestions based on what you’re saying and what you need. Not just on working out but on what your body needs. Changing vitamins or adding in stretches to accommodate your bodies needs . He makes you part of his family and genuinely cares about you. Highly recommend him! TrustPilot 5 ⭐️ Review
