John has been a personal trainer for over 30 years, specializing in post-rehabilitation.

John comes from an interesting place as a trainer because he has a physical limitation. When John was 27-years-old, he was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, or AS: a form of arthritis. He can relate firsthand to clients that have physical issues and can teach them how to work around them. Over the years, he has worked closely with physical therapists to continue client’s therapy through recovery. John focuses on training strength, endurance and flexibility.

He believes that a personal training session doesn’t have to be boring or super serious. Training shouldn’t feel like torture, you are much more likely to pursue your training longer and with more intensity, if you enjoy the experience and reap fitness benefits.
