“Over the years I’ve accumulated a few recurring injuries from sports, working out, etc that were steadily flaring up more often and I was worried that lifting any serious weight might exacerbate the pain day to day. I’ve worked out on and off throughout my life however when these injuries would flare up, I’d basically quit to “rest and recover” but I would lose any progress I had gained and then get frustrated from losing all my hard work…Rinse and repeat. I found that I would be “resting and recovering” for longer and longer periods of time, basically avoiding the gym or any semblance of a consistent training program.
I was hesitant at first to start working with a trainer. This was coming from a misplaced point of pride because I had played sports my entire life. I thought I had a solid base of knowledge to fix it myself. Well, I was grossly wrong. After just a few sessions with John, I realized I had been wasting so much time trying to do this on my own. John was able to quickly identify weaknesses that were related to my injuries and he put together a program that started to strengthen areas that I had completely overlooked leading to an immense improvement in my mobility and quality of life.
The results have been nothing short of amazing. I am lifting heavier in every single category than I ever have in my life. What’s even more incredible to me about this is I am doing it PAIN FREE. Don’t get me wrong, there are training sessions where I might be sore or feel like a muscle/tendon is aggravated and coming from a past of being told to “push through the pain” has probably led to several of my problems I’m addressing now. However, the most incredible part to me, which has also led to enjoying my training sessions with John so much more, is that whenever a problem arises, he quickly diagnoses the problem and comes up with a solution to work around it. At times this can include isolating the muscle group to try and work through it or sometimes, completely flexing the workout to more of a physical therapy/recovery session. This allows me to continue to see improvements in my training even when I might not be able to push 100% and preventing any unnecessary injuries.
I mentioned above I was hesitant to work with a trainer but in hindsight I really wish I had just taken the leap earlier. The marked improvement I’ve noticed over the last ~1.5 years is nothing short of amazing. I'm very excited for this next phase that we are starting and look forward to continually improving my overall health working with John.”
