About John

I am a former collegiate track and field athlete with a lifetime of exercise and nutrition experience. In 1993, I began training clients at the Bally's Health Club in San Diego, California. In 1995, I moved on to become one of the top personal trainers in San Diego from my location in Downtown San Diego.

Although I primarily trained clients in downtown condos, I serviced clients throughout the greater San Diego area. My key asset as a personal trainer is that I am personable and understanding. For this reason, most people trust my expertise and enjoy spending time with me. This quality is really important, considering my clients spend an average of 104 hours with me yearly.

The average length of engagement for a personal training client is 6 to 12 months. In my 25-plus years of training clients full-time in San Diego, my average length of engagement was around five years. I believe my client retention was high because I cared about my clients personally and professionally. You can't teach that.

In 2020, COVID-19 arrived on the scene and completely shut down my business. I was profoundly affected by the pandemic, and I branched out into writing about fitness and the gym business for various online publications, which I still do. During that time, I began building up a personal training and nutrition practice online.

I have relocated to a small town in North Carolina, and I love it. My online personal training practice is growing, and I want you to be part of it. From my home studio, I work with my clients through Zoom. It is a fantastic way to conduct training sessions because of its versatility. I find that clients are more consistent when they don't have to commute to a gym. They can also work out with me when they are on a business trip or vacation.

If you are looking for a personal trainer with years of expertise, take a look at what I offer. Then, let's discuss your goals, limitations, and priorities. I've helped many people become the best versions of themselves health-wise, and I'm confident I can do the same for you.
