“I am a 57 year old nurse who has always hated exercise and been intimidated by workout classes and gyms, therefore avoiding both. Having specialized in geriatric nursing for many years I understand the impact of lifestyle as we age, especially the need for regular exercise which includes strength training.
I have worked with Jon twice weekly for the past 18months and love it!! No one is more surprised by that than I am. I am also surprised to find how quickly I became comfortable in the setting with Jon’s direction and supervision.
Having no skills to call upon, I was totally reliant on Jon-Eric’s expertise and guidance as he taught me the fundamentals. From there we continue to build weekly, making me stronger and more able to tackle the next challenge he gives me. Every workout is building on the previous ones as Jon tracks everything we do meticulously and sets new goals for us to attain. His attention never waivers as he safely spots me on everything we do. I trust him implicitly.
After all the work Jon and I have done I still don’t love exercise! But I do love the time I spend with Jon and how much stronger and more well I feel. I also love how great I feel at the end of each workout. I know that with his help I am actively working at aging in the best way possible.”
