I met Jon at DIAKADI, where his positive energy, and enthusiasm to help others immediately got my attention! I approached Jon to help me discover the most accurate metabolic rate training that I needed to enhance my body composition for a show! I scheduled both EMR/RMR tests with Jon & he created an online program for me to follow using the results! As a result of working with Jon, I understand my optimal training protocol, prevent injury/metabolic damage, and maintain longer workout periods rather than feeling burnout or quit due to over training or under eating, which is what I experienced in 2010 when I hired another coach to train me for a bikini contest. If you want to bring a healthy balance back to your training, desire more accurate & optimal levels of fitness, I highly recommend Jon & both EMR/RMR tests!

When I first met Jon, I was training with another personal trainer. However, after spending just one hour with Jon, I knew he was the one who would get me to my goal: qualify for the Boston Marathon. My best marathon time was 4:20 and I just couldn’t figure out how to get my time down. With Jon’s plan, I accomplished my goal within 4 1/2 months (twice! 2 separate marathons). I also lost 20 pounds and have never felt stronger. Jon is very knowledgeable about what he does and so supportive. He personalizes each workout plan to the individual. Even when I have a bad day, I leave our workouts feeling like all is right again. With Jon leading the way, I know I will make it to my next goal: running the Western States 100. I have no doubt!
