My  Story.

FROM FAT TO FUNCTIONAL!

At the age of 39 I finally got back some time for myself.

Building a business and raising a family for 15 years took its toll. No energy, tired all the time.

I felt old.

I stumbled on to functional fitness and was hooked. With proper exercise and nutrition I transformed my body in a year. I spent the last ten years learning about nutrition and training methods for people over 35.

Let’s face it – when you are hitting 40 you have to adjust your training methods. Training like you did at 25 just isn’t smart.

What is functional fitness?

Functional fitness is a classification of training that prepares the body for real-life movements and activities. Also known as functional training or functional movement, “It trains your muscles to work together and prepares them for daily tasks by simulating common movements you might do at home, at work, or in sports.” – Mayo Clinic. Movements such as squatting, reaching, pulling, and lifting will be made easier with functional fitness integrated into your exercise routine.

Functional fitness is different than traditional workouts. Conventional weight training isolates muscle groups but doesn’t teach the muscle groups to work together. Functional exercise trains your muscles to work harmoniously.

Testimonials.

REAL PEOPLE, REAL RESULTS.

Some personal testimonials from clients and well-known individuals in the fitness industry.

When I think of a coach, I think of someone who cares, displays empathy and has a willingness to continue learning. That is what I feel coach John displays. Not only was his own transformation incredible but when he helps others you can feel that he is there to truly make a difference.

Nani Ourique, CrossFit Barrie Owner & Level 3 Coach

John brings a deep working knowledge of the body and functional fitness for daily life. John is a warm, kind and down to earth person and brings with him lots of life experience which makes working with him feel like you are genuinely learning. John is willing to push you when he thinks you can take things to the next level and is clearly passionate about what he does. He got me back on track and I would definitely recommend him as a trainer.
