No, we write workouts and programs for each client. We base our programming on your Initial Assessment, goals, current ability, interests and needs.
I’m 29 and I just had my 3rd Liftiversary š„³ at JKC. I chose to train here because of the great word on the street and the fact that at lululemon, we’re encouraged to support our local community. My day-to-day routine is very busy, and I love showing up and having to think very little about my workout. The vibes are always good, my music choice is usually accommodated, and the bys are incredibly supportive and compassionate, helping me reach my goals (even when I had a broken hand). I also get to be my weird self, and am embraced fully.
Iāve always struggled with both my weight and anxiety throughout my life. As a writer you live a pretty sedentary lifestyle filled with both realistic and unrealistic deadlines, so I needed something to get me off my butt and to get me moving. JK has been a godsend during this past year and a half in particular. The pandemic has been tough, but workouts with both Thomas and Jon have really helped reduce the stress and strain of a global pandemic, and added an anchor of normalcy back into my life ā which has been worth its weight in gold.
JKC has created an incredibly inclusive environment thatās filled with all kinds of supportive folks from all kinds of different backgrounds. For folks like myself, being surrounded by people with such athletic ability can be intimidating in most gyms. It can actually be a deterrent, and it sometimes has been for me. But, at JKC itās far from that ā itās inspirational. Everyone supports one another. Which is something thatās not easily found in this day and age, inside of a gym or out. Not to sound like a total cheeseball here, but it really feels like a family.
Iām 43 and started at JKC just over a year ago. I started at JKC because of multiple recommendations from existing clients. There are 2 main elements that distinguish JKC for me. Firstly the sense of community. Iāve been to multiple gyms in multiple cities/countries, you just Ā can not manufacture the sense of community and support you get from other gym goers and the team. Itās very motivating and happy to say Iāve made some friends at JKC.
The other major distinguishing factor for JKC is the expertise and passion of the team. Jon, Thomas and Craig craft highly personalized programs based on my fitness goals and know how to push me best without being pushy. They pay close attention to ensuring my form is solid before encouraging me to take on more weight for the exercise. Plain and simple they love what they do and it shows.
Before starting at JK Conditioning I had attempted strength training multiple times through various local gyms and at home. Each time I would end up frustrated and injured. A little over two years ago, I contacted Jon and shared my goal with him to complete my first Ironman and remain injury free in the process. Jon, Thomas and Angie have worked with me weekly and I feel stronger but most importantly I have remained injury free for 2 years, 2 months and 6 hoursā¦.. but whoās counting. HaHa. The atmosphere at JKC is welcoming for any age and ability. While Jon, Angie and Thomas are serious about GAINZ, Iāve never once found myself not laughing while working out. Thanks for helping me to continue in this crazy sport where strength training is often neglected but is the key to remaining injury free!!
I originally chose JKC to help me rehab following back surgery. JKC was the first gym where a trainer took the time to help me identify my goals and tailor my workouts to achieve them in a safe and doable manner. šš¼Ā Jon & Thomas are both highly professional and knowledgeable.Ā šØš¼āš With their guidance and informative explanationsĀ š£ they have enabled me to reach my ever evolving goals. At JKC Iām guaranteed funĀ š, interestingĀ š and diverseĀ workouts, with Jon & Thomas forever supportive and encouraging. šššš
