Where to even start?! Well I met John through my nutritionist that I had only been working with a couple weeks. I went to an open gym for free that John was putting on; I had every excuse not to go, but I pushed myself and went. Best decision I have ever made!! I have done so many fad workouts, diets, worked with a few trainers, but nothing has compared to the knowledge and passion that John has for health, fitness and especially his clients!! Now why did it stick this time and not the others, especially when my biggest excuse is being a single parent who can't get to the gym? I whole heartedly believe that John has played a huge part in why I'm not quitting and have stomped on all my excuses! I'm only about two months in, but I still get excited daily for my workouts and wonder what he's got up his sleeve next! Just when you think the workouts can't push you any farther, oh you just wait!! I still look at John sometimes like he's nuts if he thinks I can lift that much weight with one arm or do a certain exercise. But ever since I have put my full trust in him with my fitness journey and goals, I believe more in myself and don't question him anymore (still give him crazy looks of course though lol). He will not let you give up on yourself or validate any of your illegitimate excuses! My biggest excuse is not being able to get to the gym because I'm a single parent who is unable to go with me. Well John squashed that excuse fast and allows my son to come with me! Which made my mama heart smile as now my son gets to be apart of my motivation and lifestyle. John is one of the most positive and motivational people I have met in my life. He remembers all the little things about his clients and caters to each one of us during a group workout so that we each get the most out of it while making sure any previous injuries we may have are not injured further. And the positive encouragement and feedback each one of us receives during the workouts, just pushes us all to keep going and to not stop even when our mind is trying to convince us otherwise. I'm not sure where I'm at after two months as I'm not doing a weigh in or measurements for another week (will update), but I can tell y'all this: my clothes fit better, I'm happier, I'm more positive towards life and myself, I'm more motivated than ever to reach my goals and stick with em, and have found the best fit fam that God could have ever blessed me with! Thanks Coach John! Words will never be able to express how grateful I am for you and what you do!
