Testimonials:

"I wanted to take a second to put down how satisfied I have been with the results of working out with Jon for two to three times a week for the past several months. I am 38 yrs old and have not had a regular workout routine for many years and was completely out of shape and overweight by 100lbs. Since the first of the year I have lost 65lbs. My endurance has gone way up and my leg and arm strength has increased tremendously. When first starting I could not even do 5 push-ups and now I can do 30 to 40 without too much effort. Jon has done a good job of keeping me motivated and is enjoyable to work with. If your looking for results and not just a waste of time Jon does well in making your time at the gym worth the effort.Thanks Jon."

"When I first joined Seven Flags Fitness I really had no intention of hiring a personal trainer. My original plan was to come in a few times a week, work a few of the machines and maybe do some cardio. That was basically what I had done in the past at various other fitness centers with some success. The main problem was that the success was slow coming and moderate at best. With slow results I found myself losing interest and not working out regularly and eventually not going at all."

"Upon joining Seven Flags I was offered the opportunity to meet with a personal trainer for a free session. I figured that might be helpful in getting me started in a direction, but I really didn't have any intention in hiring a trainer. Upon meeting Jon I was able to determine what my goals were and the best way to reach them. I felt very comfortable around Jon and felt like he was genuinely interested in helping me obtain these goals. After the session I realized how having a trainer could help keep me focused on those goals. I decided to try it out and I'm really glad I did. Jon pushed me to work harder, encouraged me and has given me a lot of insight. The best part is, I've seen results like I've never seen before. I 've put inches on my arms and my "one pack" is turning into a "six pack." My coworkers and friends have taken notice and I receive compliments on a regular basis. It's awesome and I'm really thankful that I've had the opportunity to work with Jon."

"I haven't gone to the gym before the start of this year for a long time. During the first couple of months that I was going to the gym I felt like I was wasting a lot of time not knowing which exercises would help me the most and not knowing how to use the machines properly. I started working out with Jon in April a couple times each week. He put together a program for me, which zeroed in on the things that I wanted to change the most. At first I was really sore from using muscles that hadn't been used in a long time but before I knew it I could lift weights that just a few weeks prior I wasn't able to lift or could only do one or two reps. Now I feel confident that my time in the gym isn't wasted and I am very impressed with the weight that I have lost which is over 50lbs and that I am in better shape now then I have been in years. Thanks Jon"

"I came to 7 Flags to get in quick shape for my apperance on "Reality Stars Fear Factor." I was very specific about my goals and I felt confident I was in the right place. I wanted to cover all possible situtations I might find myself in while taping the show, so I trained in the pool, trained running outside and trained hard in the gym. I went to Los Angeles to tape the show and felt confident, strong and in great shape. I was able to face any challenge knowing I was prepared and ready physically. Strength was a determining factor in how long you lasted on the show."

"Since returning home, I have continued training with Jon every week because I love the way I feel when I am active in a training program. I also love the noticeable changes in my body and I don't want to give that back. I love working with a trainer because Jon will push me harder than I will push myself. He also mixes up the exercises so I don't get used to doing them and so they are always challenging to me. It amazes me how he knows how to adjust the weights to my new found strength. Working with Jon helps me maximize my time in the gym so I am not wasting time resting too long between sets. He keeps me moving along so I get my maximum calorie loss and don't spend my valuable time unnecessarily. Jon listens and knows what body parts mean a lot to me and areas I would like to work on harder. He knows how to get me to push myself to the limit just by saying, "It's great for the back of the legs or abs," (the areas I like to concentrate on)."

"Having a trainer makes coming to the gym a social event. It's like you have a friend waiting for you when you get here. The kind of friend that doesn't ever want to eat or drink with you. I never feel pressure when I can't make it in but I know he is here for me if I want to take advantage of his expertise. I don't have time to read all the magazines to learn all of the exercises or carry around the article like a rookie to make sure I am doing them right."

"I can't imagine what I would look like without my trainer, I can only hope for how much greater I am going to be the longer I am with him. My husband loves the visible changes in my body. I'm sure he never wants me to train alone. I would highly recommend a personal traniner for anyone who isn't happy or content with the way they look or feel right now."
