John Larson is my personal trainer; educating me, encouraging me, boosting me up, cheering me on and pushing me to be better and tougher. There is no-one better equipped to be by my side, to be on my team crafting my transformation.

Through thick and thin (with more laughter than tears) we are nearing 200 training hours together. John remains my motivating exercise partner, my informative trainer and my excellent choice in becoming a stronger me.

I started working out with John 2 months ago and have been doing PT sessions/twice a week with John.  John has a deep knowledge for all of the equipment and muscles for focused results.  John is easy to work with, funny, and will push you to your limit.  He incorporates nutrition and supplementation advice for well rounded results.  Highly recommend working out with John!

"For months, I have been working out in the same gym in which John Larson trains his clients. Irrespective of age or gender, I always noticed his clients were in great shape; and over time I watched those clients make gains.

​

When I had the opportunity to choose a personal trainer for myself, John was my exclusive and only choice. I didn't have to think about it at all.

​

A little under 3 weeks in, I'm doing free weight and machine work I've never done before. It's a whole new world! And the few things I'm doing that I'm familiar with, I'm learning (finally!) the correct techniques that keep my body safe, and give me the best results.

​

Along the way, I'm learning far more than I could have anticipated about the science of body building, the philosophy of working out, and some theatre and voice over side-bar conversations that keep our time together interesting and fun.

​

I have so much respect for how seriously John Larson takes the growth and welfare of his clients, and I couldn't be happier to be among those ranks. 

​

And hey, when your wife of 20 years randomly says, "whoa, look at your back. I've never noticed your back before," well... there's no better evidence for success! Thanks John!! And to anyone thinking they want to treat themselves to better, healthier living--John Larson is the man to get you there!”

I just took my first Yoga class with John. I went in thinking that they would be like the Yoga class that I have taken in the past but it was not.

I was used to Yoga being a series of poses with some patterned breathing. John's class was so much more. As we did the patterned breathing and poses, John explained why we were doing them and what specific benefits we would gain. Sometimes this explanation was down to the cellular level (which as a nurse I loved) discussing cortisol and lactic acid and their effects on the body. But also there were everyday comparisons like the relaxing of fascia (the thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place) was like pulling what was a wrinkled sheet from the dryer and having it smooth with no wrinkles.

To know why you are doing something and what effect it will have adds such enrichment to John's classes. He clearly cares about the benefits for his students.

I absolutely love my Friday training sessions with John.  He is not only a great motivator but also a fantastic fitness instructor.  

John has not only made my goals seem completely attainable, but he has also truly inspired me to challenge myself and persevere through mental blocks. His process and training sessions are exceptional.  Every session feels different and ambitious, whether we progressed with weight, reps, or controlled movement.  John is incredibly bright and has a wealth of knowledge in the health and fitness realm.

I highly recommend John for clients all fitness levels.  He makes you feel comfortable and explains everything so that anyone at any fitness level will understand.  

Whether John is training a brand-new client or mentoring other fitness colleagues like me, his heartfelt and self-evident sense of caring is apparent.  

I am incredibly happy that I chose John as my personal trainer and look forward to continuing my fitness journey with him for years to come!

I've been in John's spin classes for the better part of a year and have also worked with him on some strength training. John is clearly a wealth of knowledge, and his approach to fitness and well being is easy to understand, adaptable, and would serve well both as a building block for someone beginning their wellness journey, or for a more experienced athlete looking to take their training to the next level.

John has imparted a ton of great lessons in the short time I've known him, leading to improvements in breath control, flexibility, mental toughness, and overall endurance. I highly recommend John to anyone looking for an approachable, knowledgeable coach to help them on their fitness journey.

Hard work is the reward!

John has been my personal trainer for two years. He has been a terrific trainer and great to work with. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of workouts as well as nutrition and body chemistry. I highly recommend John for all aspects of training.

I have been participating in John's barre and stretch class for nearly a year now, and have seen great improvements in my balance, flexibility, and even my pickleball skills! I recently was playing pickleball and found myself falling to the floor. With stability, balance and floor work from John's class, I was able to drop, roll and get back to my feet almost in one fluid move. I feel more confident in moving around the court and it has helped me keep up with players much younger than myself.

​

John presents his classes in a very upbeat but low-key manner. Everyone is welcome and you advance at your own pace.  Part meditation, yoga, deep breathing, mindfulness and some fun dance moves, in his class. you get it all. 

​

Thanks John for your guiding spirit. 
 

I have utilized John's vast knowledge of diet, breathing exercises, and all around information to help me get stronger through my cancer rehabilitation. He put me on a diet of protein, vitamins, and minerals which has given me strength. Since I am on oxygen 24/7, I have to breathe in a specific way and he has given me the information I need to get through walking, and many things you do in your daily life.  

Thank you. John.

Very encouraging person! Inspires confidence and is full of enthusiasm. John has a strong perception of what working your muscles is all about which is also accompanied by the speech of the nutrition facts and other useful tips he may be speaking of ;)

I began personal training with John two weeks ago. John is helping me navigate a few overuse injuries that have plagued me, while maintaining my overall fitness . His advanced knowledge of how our bodies work is extremely helpful.

John actively listens to what I have to say about the way my body feels during and after my training sessions, making adjustments in my workout without sacrificing my goals. In these short two weeks I already see and feel my body changing in a positive way.

John is so personable he makes the workouts fun. You won't regret having John as your personal trainer. You will see results. 

I have been training with john twice a week since april 2023. I started off the year with a vague goal of getting stronger but didn't have a concrete plan, or vision on how I would accomplish it.

Working with John has made all the difference! He helped me focus and build a program that allowed me to do more than I ever thought I could. I am stronger fitter and I love it. I have surpassed my original goal and I am setting new ones for 2024!

One of the best parts of training with John is he makes you feel comfortable in the gym and gives you the confidence to reach farther than you might otherwise do. I highly recommend john for anyone of all fitness levels. He meets you where you are and explains everything in terms that are easy to understand and follow. Whatever your fitness goals might be john can help you achieve them.

I started training with John Larson about a year and a half ago. I used to think that personal trainers were for movie stars and people who made their living through having a body made of chiseled granite. Like a lot of people, I lifted weights on and off throughout my 20's, but never got serious about it.

Rather than do the same thing I had always done, I decided to take a chance on a personal trainer, and had the good fortune to pick John. I made more progress training with john than I had over the course of several years lifting on my own, and that was with 1 session a week, with other workouts done on my own using what I had learned.

Everyone who is even moderately interested in fitness owes it to themselves to at least try getting a personal trainer. With someone like John in your corner, you've got a true expert on your side. This man brings serious knowledge to the table. He'll help you figure out a plan that works for you, correct your form, and encourage you every step of the way, with just enough tough love that you don't forget you're in the gym.

John's exuberant attitude, comprehensive fitness knowledge, and adaptability to my personal fitness journey is exactly what I was looking for in a personal trainer. I see his boundless energy when he transitions from a yoga class, to a cycling class, to training clients, and then still makes time for his own training.

The results I've seen in my physique combined with John's excitement to see my progress keep me stoked to hit the weights! Enough talk, it's time to get fit, have fun, and become the best version of yourself!

I've trained with John for over a year now, focusing primarily on competitive powerlifting. Despite my experience as a seasoned weight lifter, John devised an engaging and highly effective training regimen that has enabled me to excel both personally in the gym and in USAPL powerlifting competitions. John's profound understanding of the human body, coupled with his sincere enthusiasm for his clients, shines through in every training session.

I wholeheartedly recommend John, whether you're a gym novice or a long-time fitness enthusiast. He customizes plans to your specific requirements and needs and ensures you stay committed to achieving your goals.

Thank you, John!

Awesome Trainer!

John is a very skilled trainer and works hard with clients to meet their potential. He gets to know his clients, challenges them, and best of all makes the training process really fun! I'm so thankful I can work with him. I can't recommend him any higher!
 

John has been an invaluable support system on my journey to recovery after undergoing major kidney surgery. He tailored a personalized fitness program that not only addressed my post-surgery limitations but also inspired confidence in my ability to overcome challenges. His patience and encouragement provided the motivation I needed to take each step forward, no matter how small it seemed at the time.

​

What truly sets John apart is his holistic approach to fitness. Beyond the physical workouts, he took the time to understand the mental and emotional toll the surgery had on me. This unique blend of empathy and expertise created a safe and nurturing environment, allowing me to not only regain my physical strength but also rebuild my self-esteem and resilience.

​

John was instrumental in helping me set realistic goals and milestones. As I progressed through the program, he seamlessly adjusted the workouts to match my evolving capabilities, and always pushed me to reach new heights without compromising my health. The gradual yet steady improvements I experienced under his guidance was nothing short of remarkable.

​

I am now in a place where I not only feel physically stronger but also mentally rejuvenated. John played a pivotal role in my recovery, and I am profoundly grateful for his unwavering support, expertise, and genuine care. If you are seeking a personal trainer who goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend John, a true professional who transforms lives through his dedication and passion for health and well-being.
 

John Larson is a transformational figure in my life. As a semi-regular motorcycle crasher, I have had my share of structural damage.

Johns tutelage has allowed me to skip my last 2 cortisone shot treatments.

 I have been a gym rat for over 40 years and I have found that no previous trainer has had the depth of knowledge or the knack for its usage like John.  

Johns cadence and pace are beyond compare
