So I've lost about 9.5 lbs in 8 to 9 weeks, including a few days partying in cancun so not bad. I've also gained some visible muscle so I'm guessing I lost about 12-13 lbs of fat or about 6-7% in body fat percent. I wasn't perfect on everything, but definitely consistent and probably 90% or more on plan for diet, cardio, and weights. I came in eating pretty low carbs, low salt, and fairly clean so I didn't have a lot of water weight to give me the rapid 5-10 lbs off in the first two weeks. I lost 1 to 1.5 lbs/week very steadily. My conditioning is solid and I can run faster and easier than ever due to the fat loss. I've been making significant gains lifting as well. Jason gives you the plan, makes adjustments as needed and then it's up to you to plan ahead and be consistent. I'm thinking of doing another 8 weeks.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Jason for getting me (back) into shape. After years of yo-yoing between Weight Watchers and various starvation diets, Jason has finally gotten me on track. I called Jason at the beginning of July while in Maui with a Pina Colada in my hand, begging him for help getting into shape for my wedding. Since mid July, I have lost just under 30 pounds and feel better than I ever have. I have not only lost weight, but I have gotten into shape, feel fit, and am eating well (I rarely am hungry!). Jason has created the perfect work outs for me, incorporating upper and lower body weight training and TRX, without excacerbating my lower back problems/injury. So...if you're looking for a trainer who can keep you in line with tough love, get you results (despite any injuries!), and make you feel better than ever, Jason is your guy.

I really don't like exercising, but I found that as I get older, it's necessary to stay in some kind of shape, especially since I enjoy eating food. I tried out Jason and Terrence last May for two months and was elated how I learned how I could push myself, not to mention that I was able to eat a small, balanced diet according to Jason's restrictions. Alas, trying to enjoy the things I liked afterwards was a lost cause, so I came back for a month in Jan for a swift kick in the rear. I did well again and feel rejuvenated in my attempt to better myself thanks to them both. Biggest thing I learned about myself? I have a problem with food, especially portions. For the first time, I'm actually going out and declining certain dishes or maybe I am just eating with more purpose. I also learned that I could push myself more than what I thought I could....so the learning process continues. Another benefit is that the gym that Jason uses - Burn in SM - is a great place. It's never overly crowded, and the energy there is just right, full of like-minded people who are into fitness more than vanity. I wish I could go there all the time but for now I'm stuck with my LA Fitness membership, a place full of people leaving weights everywhere and not wiping down the machines. Now I'm on my own, trying to continue my regimen while having one "cheat meal" a week. It ain't easy, but I'm learning more about myself and my habits that I don't get down when I've indulged too much for my cheat - I'm still learning how I can maintain my goals and my desire to try new things. So far, so good, as I'm still on the wagon, following the cardio and weight regimen that was designed for me.

Jason is an amazing trainers, you ALWAYS leave know that you got your butt kicked but he does it in a fun way and the results only speak for themselves, if you want to your body and life to change then Jason is for you! Just be ready to work!

Tiffanei R.

Jason Kozma rocks!!! I lost 10 lbs and got very toned in 8 weeks. He's a real pro and gets great results. I've had many different "celebrity" trainers and Jason puts them all to shame with his professionalism on the topic of weight training and his ability to tailor make a program for the individual. I had a problem with my posture before and he trained it out of me by strengthening the correct muscles. He also made me look more feminine rather than bulky like some other trainers do because they apply the same technique to everyone. Highly Recommend!!!

Sarah E.

Jason continues to strive as the most ambitious and hardworking trainer that I know. He creates customized programs for each client and carefully monitors their progress (he must work 24/7). He also has a great sense of humor and positive attitude; he can really cheer you up.

Ana S.

Thank you Jason for changing my life for the better. Training with you helped me become a better person not only physically but emotionally. You changed my lifestyle and my outlook on life

John H.

You will absolutely get results working with Jason Kozma. He is no joke. If you don't get results, there is actually something wrong with you. I had worked with another personal trainer shortly after I had gotten engaged. After 6 months, I did not achieve the results I was looking for because 1.) I'm the type that needs strict discipline and they were more focused on developing a friendship with me 2.) I did not have a diet plan that complemented my workout regimen. He did a body fat analysis (monitored every 2-3 weeks), put me on nutritional plan (which he monitors weekly), and a cardio + strengthening regimen. You WILL start seeing a transformation within the first 2 weeks you start working with him. He will make adjustments throughout the process as needed. He is focused on your success, and he will motivate you to achieve your goals. What I couldn't achieve in 6 months, I achieved in 10 weeks working with Jason. He brought my body fat down from 21% to 15%. I now fit size 2 clothing & dropped 2 jean sizes. Most importantly, I never felt better and looked great for my wedding day.

M L.

Jason is amazing!! The coaching I got from Jason has been life changing and absolutely worth every penny!! Its not just about "getting thin", although thats what I came to him for, he has made me stronger and healthier then I've been in a very long time. I dont have to worry that the stress at work or in my personal life will crash my immune system, and I'll get sick at a critical time. I'm now strong and healthy enough to withstand stressful periods without crashing! I cant really put it into words but basically even if you are a relatively healthy person as I was, when you improve the health of your body, your life just becomes better. I noticed that I had gained 6 pounds over the course of a year and wanted to nip it in the bud before it became 10 or 20 pounds. I thought, no problem. I'll just start running again. For the next 3 months I gained and lost the same 4 pounds over and over (while injuring my knee). I became really frustrated and contacted Jason. To become a champion body builder, Jason had to become very knowledgable as to what builds muscle quickly and what causes very quick fat loss. He is really good at knowing just how hard to push you for maximum (injury free) results and modifies his methodology as your body adapts so you never plateau. Within 3 weeks I lost 8 pounds and looked much better then I would have had the running worked because I didnt just get skinny, I built muscle in all of the places that were flabby and needed sculpting. After 2 months, my body fat percentage was about 15%, I no longer fantasize about getting lypo, and I have a butt that defys my genetics! Jason is a master of his craft!

Julie K.

I used to workout with Jason when I lived in Los Angeles, but since then the Navy has sent me all over the world and the time away has made me realize what a VERY good trainer he is. Having worked out with others in the interim, I can say that what makes him great is his ability to vary your workout in a way that keeps gym time fun, his attention to your progress and his sense of humor. You'll look forward to going to to gym, if for no other reason than the witty banter while you're getting in better and better shape. Honestly, I was never in as good shape as I was when I was working out with him... unfortunately, I can't get the Navy to send me back there or I'd be working out with him on a regular basis!

Stephanie M.

I have been struggling with being too skinny my entire life. I had been trying to gain on my own for years but the results were far from impressive. Finally, I decided to invest in a trainer and I am so glad I picked Jason. He opened up my eyes to a whole new world of building up my body. He is very knowledgeable, instills motivation and discipline into my workouts and diet. He designed the workouts based on my specific needs. I gained 20lbs in just 2 months. It made me believe that with dedication I can achieve things I never thought could be possible. When I had to move and wasn't able to work out with him, he searched and recommended trainers he thought would be best for me. I would definitely go back to him whenever I can.

Fang S.

Jason is the real deal... it's no joke that he can truly transform your body and make the most of what you've got. The first time I worked with him, he whipped me into amazing shape in 8 weeks! He works with you to develop a workout and nutritional plan and makes sure you stick with it! There is no cheating with him because for some strange reason, he'll know if you have. He's a great motivational fitness trainer, and if you want hardcore results, Jason's your man. I'd recommend him for anyone serious about a body transformation

Marites C.

I just finished a 12-week online program and am writing to second all of the good things that reviewers have said about Jason. My work schedule is pretty unpredictable, so I decided to go with the online training option. Jason designed a plan for me and every week I would send him in my diet and exercise logs. He would read these closely and email me back with feedback and suggestions. When Jason noticed that my legs were my weakest body part, he suggested that I come in for an in-person session to show me the ropes. We came up with a new plan for legs that produced immediate results, which makes me wonder how much more progress I would have made had I been able to schedule live training sessions with him. Anyway, after twelve weeks, I've lost 16 pounds and my body fat percentage has dropped from 14% to a little over 5%. The only thing I wanted when I decided to sign-up with Jason was results, and he was able to deliver. That's really the highest compliment that I can pay him. If you're serious about getting results, give Jason a call.

Andrew

I've played sports and worked out all my life and Jason has helped me get in the BEST shape I've ever been in ... at 42.. with a broken back! I started with Jason when I felt blobby and injured, he tailored my workouts to my needs, and now I have 10 percent body fat and lean muscle. He can give you a diet plan to go along with your workouts and in about a month you will be the "after" in those before and after pictures you've been clicking on. I've worked with MANY other trainers, and it's not even close. He's trained Hall of Fame athletes, Hollywood actors and regular folks like you and me and treats us all the same. He pushes you with humor and you'll notice the results immediately. Look no further.. you do what he says, you'll get what you want.

Kara

If you are serious about getting in shape then Jason and his staff can help you achieve all your goals. His knowledge of fitness and nutrition are a testiment to the years of study and dedication that he has personally invested. I know a lot of people talk the talk, but this guy walks and walks as well. And he has a title to back it up. Make no mistake, he is the real deal and you won't be disappointed.

David

I was never heavy nor thin. Just blah. With Jason I went from 19.5% BF to 8.5%. It has been a lot of hard work but between Jasons knowlede of training, supplements and diet I am finally filling out for the first time in my 36 years. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AS A TRAINER.

Howard

I'm so happy I found Jason Kozma! I was looking for a personal trainer to help me with my goal of competing in a figure competition and I knew I found the right man for the job the first day we met. Jason is extremely personable and sincerely cares about his clients health. Jason catered a meal plan to help me reach my goals and was flexible with his busy schedule to fit my needs since my work schedule is also busy. In my short time with Jason, I have seen an increase in strength and a decrease in body fat. I'm excited to compete in my first fitness competition and plan on using Jason's nutrition plan afterwards to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I would highly recommend Jason Kozma if you're looking to be healthier, get ready for bikini season, or compete

Elaina H.

Jason changed my life! As a busy mom, I've always struggled with the extra 5 or 10 lbs. The moment I lose the weight, it kept creeping back. Jason helped me put together a nutritional and workout plan that worked magic! I didn't know I could look that good! All my friends tell me I look incredible, my husband can't keep his hands off me and my kids are proud of me. And it's not just the weight. I feel so much more energy and I'm also stronger than I've ever been. Thank you, Jason!

Jason is amazing! I've been very impressed with everything from how keen he is in identifying what I as an individual needed in terms of nutrition, supplements and exercise (one size does not fit all!), to just the integrity with which he manages his business. It has been life changing for me. I have been working out pretty vigorously on my own 4-7 days a week most of my adult life, but have never been able to achieve the results I got with Jason in just 4 weeks! I've recommended him to everyone including my parents. If you have a vision of what you want to achieve, don't mind hard work, but cant stand spinning your wheels, Jason is your guy.

Julie K.

Can I give 10 stars??? I hired Jason after deciding to take my fitness to the next level and do a bikini competition. It should be noted that prior to hiring Jason Ive had nutritionist, and trainers. Therefore, i know what and who I am comparing Jason, his skills and abilities to. I trained with him personally and also did the online nutrition and exercise program for the times that I wasn't training with him in Santa Monica. The minute I saw Jason, he was pretty much on point about how much weight and body fat I would drop in the 8 weeks of prep ( that's all the time I had!) Going to the gym wasn't something new to me, however learning to do proper exercises in the proper order to stimulate fat loss and muscle growth was something i learned from training with Jason. He knows exactly how a female body responds to training, how it should be shaped and sculpted (which is an important factor when it comes to serious training) . His nutrition program was simple and easy to follow. I went on and got 2nd place for my first bikini competition with 9% body fat. Bottom line is Jason is a pro he knows, exactly what he's doing. If you hire him you are guaranteed to SEE RESULTS, you WILL FEEL GREAT about yourself and your body, and you will get asked "WOW! how did you do that?"

Arsine .

Uber Trainer! I have to echo the plethora of extremely positive reviews posted by others regarding Jason Kozma's knowledge and abilities as a personal trainer. I started training with Jason when he first arrived in California from Tennessee back in the mid-90's. Even then, Jason knew more about weight training, physiology, muscle building, fat loss, and nutrition than anyone I had ever met (or have met since). Jason has built a loyal following of clients who have trained with him for years, who enthusiastically recommend him to friends and family, and who come back to Jason over and over again for one reason -- RESULTS!!! This guy knows how to get you in shape and how to help you maintain a high level of fitness once you get there. That's what it's all about, isn't it? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! A+++!! (And if that's not enough, Jason is a lot of fun to train with (even while he's kicking your butt!)).

Bryan B.

I will simply state that signing up for Jason’s training program is the best money I have ever spent on fitness. He gave me a compact distillation of the current state of the art in bodybuilding, diet, and fat loss methods, without me having to go read 20 books or try to piece it together. Previous to this, I had done a year of ‘Starting Strength’ to build up strength after a double knee replacement. It worked as advertised, and I ended up stronger in the squat than I ever was in my 20s the last time I tried lifting. I also ended up at 25% body fat, and when my noob gains slowed down, I decided to get rid of the belly and try working with Jason. What really shocked me was the rate of fat loss without feeling hunger. The diet is 5-6 smaller meals per day, with lots of protein and veggies. I found a couple of good recipes for baking chicken en masse, bought a food scale, and prep a week’s worth of meals on Sunday. Easy, fast, cheap, and most important — no hunger. I have an intense job so I can’t be thinking about food during the day, and I don’t. My workout is a 5 day split with about an hour of lifting per day, followed by 30 minutes of cardio. The cardio doesn’t seem that hard given the rate of fat loss, and I’m getting stronger steadily. There is some sort of weird magic going on that I can’t explain, but I’ll take it. I dropped 2 notches on my belt *the first month*, and am between 10-15 lbs down from where I started. This guy is really, really good. Highly recommended if you want to change your body quickly.

Eliot M.

Jason is the real deal! I've had personal trainers in the past but none that deliver results even close to what Jason has and in the shortest amount of time. Jason is a fitness expert but also understands and is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition, which was key to my body fat loss and muscle gain. Jason is a true professional and worth every penny. He's completely changed my life! Don't waste your time with anyone else.

tizita .

Met with Jason and he was very informational, fun guy. Got to train with one of his trainers and I feel like I got a really good knowledge on proper weight lifting and now I'll feel confident to do it on my own without having to worry and continue to get those results in that I aim for. :)

Jason Kozma as a child: - "What do you want to be when you grow up Jason?" - "Jason Kozma" Seriously, Jason is a true witchmaster when it comes to training, nutrition and making you realize what it takes to get the shit done. A genius!

Mattias

As a triathlete, stretching and weights are two of my weak areas. Jason has changed that and the results have shown on the bike and in the pool. He increased my leg strength and flexibility and this made climbing the Malibu hills just a touch easier. Jason is a great guy to train with and he gets results quickly. Everything he does is customised to you and your needs. Im already looking forward to getting back in the gm with him

A N.

Jason is dedicated and thoughtful in his training instruction. He offers an optional diet plan (a lot of trainers don't offer an education on this and diet is key!). He works with you each week on your diet and exercise routine. It took me a while to figure out exactly what I wanted, other than to "get fit." Jason worked with me each step of the way to help me identify my goals, and tailor my workouts and diet each time my goal changed. He is very straightforward and honest, he won't BS you in any way, and takes a personal interest in your health and fitness progress. He provides all the tools you need; it's just up to you to follow him. Jason's program is 100% with you in mind; he doesn't take a one size fits all approach, but instead factors in your gender, size, body type and goals. You won't regret working with him!

Training with Jason Kozma will be the best money you’ve ever invested in yourself. Jason will analyze your weight, bodyfat, and measurements to create a custom meal plan and exercise program based on your fitness goals. While training if he sees that you need an adjustment to your meal plan he will do so. Show up focused, do what he says, eat what he says, and you will get the results you want. In April 2018 I reached a wall in current meal prep and fitness plan. I just couldn’t lose the weight I wanted to before my sister’s Bachelorette in June! Desperate, I turned to Jason, who I wanted to train with for years. I followed his meal plan 87% of the time, worked out with him as instructed 3 times a week, and worked out on my own about 2-3 times a week. From April 25, 2018 to June 15, 2018 I lost 18.5 lbs and 10% body fat!!! I will continue to train with Jason to decrease body fat and gain muscle. Can’t wait to post more results in the next coming months!!! Contact Jason for a body transformation! He is the best! You won’t regret it!!!

Celeste

...four years of training with Jason and zero complaints.

Jason has proven to be dedicated to the success of his clients through his very specific nutrition plans, and training programs. I have seen my own body transformation; significant body fat % loss, and muscle gains! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for serious results. Discipline and hard work required!

Edgar De La Torre

Jason is the only trainer I will ever use! He is the ultimate professional and pushes you to achieve results you thought were unattainable. I highly recommend him if you're looking to step up your fitness game!!

Deborah

I first signed up for Jason’s High Performance program over 10 years ago in preparation for my wedding. Prior to that, I had worked with 2 other trainers with limited success. Jason had brought me down from 24% body fat to 17% body fat…a transformation I was extremely happy with. Much time has passed, and 3 pregnancies later I decided to reach out to Jason again since I was having difficulties dropping weight. I had moved from the Westside of LA to the Southbay, so Jason referred me to his colleague Shon Halisi in El Segundo. Jason kept me on a customized dietary plan and we communicated regularly, while I trained with Shon locally. Shon is also extremely knowledgeable, helped me strengthen areas of injury, and is very meticulous in ensuring you are in proper form and engaging target muscles. Over an 8 week period, I am back down to pre-wedding/pre-children weight…an achievement I thought was completely out of reach at my age. I am extremely satisfied with my results, and have enjoyed working with these two experts. This program works, and you are guaranteed results if you follow the plan.

ML

Best word to describe Jason is professional plain and simple. If you are looking for the best personal trainer around - someone that has the knowledge and expertise to get you the body and health you want don’t look any further. With a clear passion he inspires and pushes you to bring out your best self. Couldn’t be happier and would recommend to anyone looking for a positive change!

Yelena F.

Jason is super knowledgeable and thoughtful when it comes to losing weight and building the body that you want. To me the best part is that he keeps me training while keeping my back and shoulder injuries improving. Really appreciate that he gave me the program that works and that he keeps me motivated. Fantastic trainer!

Anonymous

Jason and his team rock! Totally took the time to train me right, keeping me from injuring myself since I'm kind of gung-ho and want to go super fast.. I'm totally seeing the results in definition and strenght.

Dani

Jason is really an incredible trainer. He shows devotion to results both in and out of his workout sessions through diet planning, which supplements to take, how to plan eating/sleep patterns, etc. He is honestly like an encyclopedia when it comes to knowledge about how your body works and therefore how to optimize fat loss and muscle gain. He does a good job of motivating you in your workouts and really gets results.

Andrew

I super enjoyed my time with Jason! He didn't waste any time calling me personally when I first reached out to him before buying his services. To me, that showed that he truly cares about me and what I was trying to achieve. He also worked with my pescatarian diet and made everything very easy for me to follow! He gave me all the answers, all I had to do was just stick to his plan. The results I got from him were amazing!!! Thank you for getting me back on track Jason!

Ashley

Dopest trainer alive. Highly recommend. Get some gains now on god.

Shawn S.

I started training with Jason because I had a baby and felt unhappy with the way I was feeling and looking. Oversized and super tired didn't have the strength to pick up my baby. Started to train with Jason and my life changed completely! Have tons of energy and look incredible! If you need a complete transformation, Jason's knowledge will get you there in no time! Make a commitment with Jason and you'll see amazing results. Guarantee :)

Laura P.

Forget excuses, be committed. From personal experience, the above is what I recognized as being a common theme and part of Jason's character since he was in junior high. Yes, I am fortunate enough to have known Jason since his early "lifting" days and was not surprised he earned the Mr. America title years ago. I reconnected with Jason a few years back and can confirm that his newsletters and online program have been very inspirational for fitness success especially since I live out-of- state from Jason's headquartes. I can confirm what others have said about Jason, so here we go... "...following his success and his business, when I saw on FB that he had an online program..." Jen F. As I also stated, Jason's programs are goal oriented and with online access what excuses do you have left? "So...if you're looking for a trainer who can keep you in line with tough love, get you results (despite any injuries!), and make you feel better than ever, Jason is your guy." Dena L. Yes, "tough love" leads to "results". Listen to Jason's objective guidance to blast excuses out of your life. Very well said Dena. "It's not an age thing, it's not an injury thing - it's picking the right person and making a commitment." Fred E. "Commitment" + "picking the right person" = Success. Remember, Jason (the right person) has been committed to fitness since the 80's). "Thank you Jason for changing my life for the better. Training with you helped me become a better person not only physically but emotionally. You changed my lifestyle and my outlook on life." John H. ...my sentiments exactly. "DONT GIVE UP! It does work! Jason is a stickler for keeping on the diet which is 80% of training and its worth it...This is meant to be lifestyle change that takes effort and major commitment on our part." Karen K. "Don't give up...Jason is a stickler...diet...lifestyle change...major commitment..." Very true Karen. Succeeding with Jason is a "no excuse zone" fitness mentality that works - hands down. "Jason is tough as hell but that's what you want in a trainer." Jennifer D. I concur again. Jason cares and it shows, which is an important ingredient to YOUR success. Get tough and just do it. "Taining with Jason's team is costing me about 2/3s of what I paid at the volume gym to get trained by people that didn't really care about helping me nearly as much as they did about clocking in and out." Raj C. How true! "He also has a great sense of humor and positive attitude; he can really cheer you up...Jason continues to strive as the most ambitious and hardworking trainer that I know." Ana S. Yep, like I too have witnessed, Jason has been "stiving" and "hardworking" since the 80s. In addition, his "great sense of humor" is appreciated when dealing with those pesky work out "plateaus" that we all have stumbled upon. "Can I give 10 stars???" Arsine H. Bingo! 'nuff said. Thanks for being an inspiration and REAL fitness pro Jason! You truly change lives - for the better.

Chris S.

Jason is a fantastic trainer and will set you on the right path into achieving your goals. Also, he checks on you to make sure you are continuing to commit to your meal plan and to help you stay motivated through your journey.

Gina O.

Jason Kozma is the best and most results oriented personal trainer you could possibly work with. Jason will create a diet, weight training, and fitness plan to meet your personal goals - and if you follow his program, you will obtain the results you want guaranteed! Bottom line, Jason is the absolute best personal trainer in the business.

Rachel F.

All I can say is that I've been working out my whole life and the program that Jason put me on has been absolutely amazing, I have seen more results as part of his nutritional plan and training than I ever have before. His training and team of trainers are the best there is. Best money I've ever spent! I look and feel the best I ever have! He's got it down! He'll do his part if your willing to do your part!

Milt A.

Wow, Where do I begin?! Jason Kozma has truly changed and transformed my life, my body, my health in so many positive ways! I am so thankful for him. Finding him has been one of my biggest Blessings. Here is my story which ultimately led me to meeting, Jason, amazing trainer/transformer: My journey all started with a low thyroid condition combined with needing to take steroids for a related inflammatory health condition. As a result I had gained an extreme amount of weight. I had tried out different trainers in LA, some very expensive. Over a one year period my weight didn't even go down even 1 pound. Frustrated, I almost gave up, but then I came across Jason's website one day as I was searching for experts in weight loss. I decided to meet with him, and set up a consultation. In that one consult Jason blew me away with his immense scientific knowledge! He explained to me why I wasn't losing weight, despite all my work with those LA trainers. Jason laid out a complete program for me to follow that combined his pioneering weight training and work out techniques with specific supplements and a detailed nutrition program that was customized to my issues (thyroid, female hormone imbalance and age). He also gave my program all written up in a folder, including homework to send to him of my meals, etc (all included in his training fee!). Blown away! I am in the medical field myself, and I was surprised that he knew even more than the doctors I have been going to who didn't seem to have a clue on how to help me lose my weight or feel better. As I embarked on Jason's program, I began to have more energy. Friends told me I was starting to glow, and wanted to know my secret. Every week working with Jason, I would lose weight on the scale, and by 6 weeks I lost 27 POUNDS with Jason!!!!!! Whoa, I am in complete shock! When other trainers I worked with over one full year couldn't make a difference, Jason helped me transform my body and my life within a short span of time! And I am happy to say I am continuing to make positive changes in my weight, my muscles, the way I carry myself and my energy. God Bless you Jason! It's a treat to work out with Jason as he is very serious about technique and posture. He is very attentive to my form when we work out, and is "no nonsense". Over time he has also been my confidante... a real life coach. I can say he truly cares about his clients. I looked up his credentials, and he has been a Mr. America himself with so much in-depth knowledge about the body, muscles, metabolism, hormones and physiology, and has helped so many clients not only feel healthier and strong, but also win their own fitness contests too! One day I would love to try for a contest with Jason's guidance. I normally don't write reviews but felt compelled to let everyone know about my journey in the hopes it may inspire someone else who thought there wasn't any hope. From someone who never wanted to get out of bed due to my health issues to someone who now has energy, who has shed so much weight, who loves her body now.... I am feeling so much better about myself and self esteem. Jason is truly a life changer, not just a trainer who works out people, but a true expert in healthy weight loss and helping one achieve a beautiful sculpted physique. I'm feeling so much sexier again, and this has translated to my work and interactions with people and dating life. I can't thank you enough Jason! God Bless you for all you have done for me!

Winning G.

So I've lost about 9.5 lbs in 8 to 9 weeks, including a few days partying in cancun so not bad. I've also gained some visible muscle so I'm guessing I lost about 12-13 lbs of fat or about 6-7% in body fat percent. I wasn't perfect on everything, but definitely consistent and probably 90% or more on plan for diet, cardio, and weights. I came in eating pretty low carbs, low salt, and fairly clean so I didn't have a lot of water weight to give me the rapid 5-10 lbs off in the first two weeks. I lost 1 to 1.5 lbs/week very steadily. My conditioning is solid and I can run faster and easier than ever due to the fat loss. I've been making significant gains lifting as well. Jason gives you the plan, makes adjustments as needed and then it's up to you to plan ahead and be consistent. I'm thinking of doing another 8 weeks.

Tap M.

Jason Kosma is such an awesome, inspiring, and incredibly knowledgable trainer. He's a superhero in the fitness world, and I am so fortunate to have found him. He encourages clients to be their best, stay motivated, and achieve their goals by being totally invested and engaged in their success. His nutrition program has been my secret to a toned and healthy body for years and years. On top of this, Jason is so great to be around - he's super funny!

I have been training with Jason and his team for a few months and the results have been nothing short of amazing. I started at 235 lbs, I lost 15 lbs in 2 months on the scale, I was able to lift more, and my energy levels increased dramatically. What sets Jason apart from other trainers is his dedication to helping you achieve your goals, by which I mean if you aren't achieving the improvements he is expecting each week, he'll sit down with you and go over every part of what you did in the previous week to figure out why the target was missed. I've worked with trainers who take your money and put you on a treadmill for 30 minutes, so to find a trainer who makes it his personal mission with weekly checks and followups to ensure you are making progress every week, was truly a refreshing experience and showed me the difference between an average trainer, and a great trainer. The other great thing about working with Jason and his team is that he gives you the tools to help yourself. I moved to Portland to start a new job, but I've carried on with the same style of eating, working out and cardio and I've carried on making progress. Whatever your level of fitness, I'm confident Jason can help - I've seen many of his formerly overweight clients go on to compete in bodybuilding competitions - that's amazing!!

Can I give 10 stars??? I hired Jason after deciding to take my fitness to the next level and do a bikini competition. It should be noted that prior to hiring Jason Ive had nutritionist, and trainers. Therefore, i know what and who I am comparing Jason, his skills and abilities to. I trained with him personally and also did the online nutrition and exercise program for the times that I wasn't training with him in Santa Monica. The minute I saw Jason, he was pretty much on point about how much weight and body fat I would drop in the 8 weeks of prep ( that's all the time I had!) Going to the gym wasn't something new to me, however learning to do proper exercises in the proper order to stimulate fat loss and muscle growth was something i learned from training with Jason. He knows exactly how a female body responds to training, how it should be shaped and sculpted (which is an important factor when it comes to serious training) . His nutrition program was simple and easy to follow. I went on and got 2nd place for my first bikini competition with 9% body fat. Bottom line is Jason is a pro he knows exactly what he's doing. If you hire him you are guaranteed to SEE RESULTS, you WILL FEEL GREAT about yourself and your body, and you will get asked "WOW! how did you do that?"

I've tried out a bunch of different trainers over the years and never had any great success with any of them. Not only have I seen immediate results with Jason (despite having a thyroid problem), but he's also kind-of funny and not a complete pain in the ass to be around. :) Seriously though: he attends to nutrition, weight loss, and strength training with focused precision. He doesn't impose his own agenda on you, he is there to get you the results that you want, and he is successful. You want him on your team.

I'm in the early days of training with team Jason but it's already changed the way I view fitness. I lifelong runner, I've never been able to stick to strength. After about 8 weeks my body is visibly evolving and I feel stronger in every day activities. I have a 1 year old at home (& a 3 year old) and my core is weak to say the least. I train with Jason's referred trainer Deena and I love her! She is tough but in a way that works for me. She's a perfectionist about form and pushes without being pushy. She has a way of making you want to do more because she is sweet, which is a real gift for a trainer! I'm so glad I finally took the initiative to do this. If you're thinking about it, highly recommend you give Jason and his team a try. :)

Highly recommend Jason. He is very professional and very knowledgeable. He has a great personality and makes working out enjoyable. Thank you for all your hard work.

I moved back to Santa Monica and needed a trainer with an expert understanding of the human body and one that knows how to obtain results without injury. Jason Kozma is the best in the business. I saw GREAT results within 2 weeks. He's an expert in his field and I highly recommend Jason to anyone that wants to achieve great results and a lean physique. Check out the photo's on his website. They paint the picture...!!!!

Jason's program is excellent. I started his program because I was feeling blah and couldn't get myself motivated. I was having headaches several times a week and crashing every day at 3 no matter how much caffeine I had. Within 3 days on Jason's diet, my headaches were gone and I felt energized all day - so much so that I always felt ready for a workout after work which was a rarity before this. I also lost a bunch of weight and reshaped my body. I trained with Thomas Rowe (who works with Jason) - he is awesome! Super positive and supportive and you can tell he loves what he does. I'll definitely be sticking as close to the diet and workout regimen as possible going forward - not just to look good, but because I feel so much better too.

Jason Kozma rocks!!! I lost 10 lbs and got very toned in 8 weeks. He's a real pro and gets great results. I've had many different "celebrity" trainers and Jason puts them all to shame with his professionalism on the topic of weight training and his ability to tailor make a program for the individual. I had a problem with my posture before and he trained it out of me by strengthening the correct muscles. He also made me look more feminine rather than bulky like some other trainers do because they apply the same technique to everyone. Highly Recommend!!!

Jason is a terrific trainer. Knows his stuff and very experienced.

Well..I had to write this review for all us girls out there that who wants instant gratification on anything we invest in..THIS IS NOT THAT PROGRAM!..This is meant to be lifestyle change that takes effort and major commitment on our part. I signed up with Jason in Feb and assigned with one of his trainers, James. It's been hard work and required extreme dedication. I woke up one morning and realized my "spare tire" is slowly melting away and definition in my abs that I havent seen in about 2 years! I feel and look fabulous in the inside and out. Moral of my story is..DONT GIVE UP! It does work! Jason is a stickler for keeping on the diet which is 80% of training and its worth it. You get what you pay for and look for major changes! Thanks Jason and James!

I have been training with Jason for a handful of months now and was grossly overweight when I started. I've gone from 264 lbs. to 215 lbs as of this morning. Jason has been exceptional at helping me reach my goals - his strength training is top notch and he customizes my meal programs as well. I have roughly 20lbs left to lose to reach my ideal body fat percentage. Jason knows what he is doing - I highly recommend.

I have been training for the last two years with a face to face trainer locally and decided it was time to change things up. I went to high school with Jason and had been following his success and his business, when I saw on FB that he had an online program...I was very excited. I contacted Jason and explained my goals and schedule and he was ready to work with me and sent me my program to meet my goals. I was concerned about doing this via the online process, but at no point have I ever not felt supported by Jason or felt I did not have my own personal trainer still. And the results are phenomenal. I am going into my third week and have already lost 5 pounds and drooped 3% body fat. I see such a difference in my physique. And I have already had a fellow female coworker tell me that I look beautifully fit. That made my day and was the first I had been given that compliment. Jason is an amazing trainer. You will work hard in his program, the diet and workout regime can be tough, but so worth it. Just stick to what Jason tells you in his plan and you cannot go wrong. I cannot wait to see how I look in the next 6 weeks, considering how great I already look and feel working with him. Thank you Jason!!!!

I followed Jason's diet / fitness plan and lost over 10 pounds, but more importantly, i went down a size and I feel stronger than I've ever felt in my life. I couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you Jason!

Ashley F.

I trained with Jason when I was living in Santa Monica and he got me into the best shape of my life. I still utilize the methods that he taught me years ago, I would highly recommend him as a trainer, also he's a great guy!

You will lose weight with Jason's program no question! I have struggled with being able to lose 40 lbs for over 2 years. Jason's program is the only thing that has worked. Lost 2 inches on my waist in 6 weeks! Do it now! Stop making excuses!

If you are like me and ready for a transformation in physical well being and perhaps more importantly mental well being from regaining the pride you lost because of the unattractive and unhealthy shape of your body from the years of abuse and neglect, calling Jason Kozma can save your life. In 2013, I trained at UFC gym in Torrance with so called "professional" trainers for very close to 1 year. Unfortunately, I fell back into my old habits through out most of 2014 until August and gained every single pound back, and then some to spare. I think many others have experienced similar roller coaster rides with their weight and physique when training out of sheer will power with very expensive and unknowledgeable amateurish trainers at large volume gyms I'm a very analytical person. In my very analytical mind, only numbers matter. Watching the amazing numeric changes to the measurements of my body the last couple of months, has been the single most motivating factor for me. If you are of similar thinking, then I have the following to report: 1. Training with Jason's team, I've lost more fat and am at a lower body fat % after 8 weeks of training, and 11 weeks of eating Jason's diet than I was after approximately 1 year (52 weeks) of training with the so called professionals at the volume gym in 2013. I started at 30%, now I'm at 20% and still shrinking in all the right places. My goal is 10% by the end of January, and for the first time in 15 years, it seems attainable 2. Training with Jason's team is costing me about 2/3s of what I paid at the volume gym to get trained by people that didn't really care about helping me nearly as much as they did about clocking in and out 3. 11 weeks ago, I could barely fit into my 36" pants. 38"s were too big, and 36"s a little too tight. Just last week I noticed my 32" pants are starting to slide down. That's about 5" to 7" inches in 11 weeks of Jason's diet and 8 weeks of gym training 4. My particular coach, Terrance (probably the best coach in the world) is not only knowledgable, but trying to impart training wisdom unto me. Something no one I've ever trained with before has done for me. In regards to Terrance, he watches every single inch of every single rep for the entire 60 minutes. I cannot begin to explain how important this was for me as through 2013 no one ever really coached me on the details. Walk into any gym in America and watch personal trainers and you'll see the majority aren't paying intense attention to their clients. Some watch the clock, my previous trainers at the volume gyms watched their cell phones, others watch members of the opposite sex, and many simply watch themselves in the mirror. I have no idea where Terrance finds the patience because I can barely stand to keep my attention on myself for that long, but rep 12 of set 3, he's still telling me what I'm doing wrong. You'll be amazed how much more effective 5 good reps at the right weight are than 50 bad reps at a weight your muscles aren't ready for. Point being, these guys are real pros, this is their career, they're not training to support themselves through another career like in the volume gyms. 5. About Jason's diet, being as badly overweight as I was, at first I was unsure about how honestly I could stick to it. Also, I had a habit of eating out every day for every meal. Immediately after I received the diet, the fat person in me was trying to think of ways to cheat. Example, perhaps I can eat at Subway instead of cooking at home? Perhaps I didn't really need to eat 5 times a day as often as I could? Perhaps, all I needed was to put food in my fridge, but then just continue eating out as often as I could? Anyway, I started the diet. The first week was tough, I felt a little hungry, especially in the evening. The 2nd night I had a headache, I think because of my body already starting to adjust, so I took a pain pill. Anyway, I got through the first week. Amazingly, by the start of the second week, the same amount of food began to feel like a lot! Half way through the 2nd week, it started feeling like too much food. Your body adopts faster than you can possibly imagine. It turns out, Jason's diet isn't so much a diet as it is a playbook to eating healthy. Guaranteed if you get through the first week without cheating, it is incredibly down hill from there. You'll be eating an exact balance of all the necessary food groups your body requires for healthy function and your body will reward you by shedding the fat. Jason adjusts the diet weekly, and I intend to make this my basic eating habit for the rest of my life. In summary, if there is anyone reading this review and you're overweight (for me it was dangerously so at nearly 30% body fat), don't know if you can change your habits, are afraid to try, or don't believe you can ever have the body you want, just remember, I was exactly where you are! Call these guys and it can change for you too...
