Fifteen ways John trains people, in his own words - from strength training and corrective exercise to kickboxing, TRX, sports-specific work and training around an injury. Most clients combine two or three.

Why our programs are better

Four reasons John’s programs work when the one-size-fits-all plans didn’t. Open any card for the full explanation.

01

Custom plans

The most popular trainers are not always the best ones. They are marketers who push the latest and greatest diet and workouts which many times have been purchased from other trainers.

They are also rarely designed to meet our individual goals or our body type. The program you’re getting is from someone who has been in the fitness industry for over 40 years and was a successful amateur bodybuilder and international cover model for Muscle & Fitness magazine as well as many others.

02

Limit plateaus

Many of us have tried workout after workout that have a one size fits all format with little or no results. Many of the programs are very basic and don’t have enough variety to keep your muscles “guessing”, which is what your muscles need and desire to grow and overcome the stimulus.

Many of the other “guru’s” workout plans can also be too long. “90 days” is the common phrase. Our bodies push back from boredom and over training or lack of motivation. Failure is almost guaranteed. Many time’s we under-train and limited results are seen.

That’s where my plan differs. First off, it’s 8 weeks long (56 days) instead of 90 like most. In the strength and conditioning world training cycles are usually 6-8 weeks long. Studies show this is the amount of time our body needs to adjust to the stimulus before it starts to plateau and we all know that word if you’re at all familiar with working out. By removing those last 30 days and switching to another training phase, you will allow your body to adapt and heal much more efficiently, smashing those training barriers. Also, many of the sets, reps and rest periods are varied to add more variety and exercise selection is very diverse.

03

Proven results

Many programs talk a big talk with non-stop advertising but very few can actually show you proven results. That’s why on my web site here I have success stories of clients who put in the effort and work.

They are featured on the landing page here and hopefully you will too if you’re ready to take the next step to building your best body.

Another thing to keep in mind is a phrase made popular by the late fitness guru Jack La lane. “Exercise is king and diet is queen, together they make a kingdom”. You can’t have one without the other. That’s why I also offer nutritional guidance as well. If you’re interested in my nutritional programs, click on the nutrition tab at the top and then click on the drop down menu where it says “what to expect. I also offer a great nutritional template in the “products” section which will help you understand how to map out your diet.
