I had the great opportunity to train under John as he was one of the assistant instructors in the recent San Diego RKC 2009. John seemed to be there when I felt something was up with my form or something. Even with the amount or students under the Team Lead and instructors, he had an eye for the details that saved me from doing something incorrectly. And even the feedback to say "Good job!" Those two words mean a lot during the RKC. Thanks John for being a great instructor.

Great RKC Team Assistant!
Rated 10 out of 10
John was one of our RKC Team Assistants at the 2009 RKC. He happened to be the one who tested me on my snatch and some of my technique tests. He gave me encouragement during the snatch test and answered all my questions. He'd been very helpful and I wouldn't ask for a better RKC assistant.
Thank you!

I had the good fortune of assisting with John at the San Diego RKC in 2009. This guy has it all - serious strength, polish, class, and a really easy, likeable personality. He knows his stuff! A terrific instructor to seek out. I would love the chance to work with John again in the future, and take home even more great tips and ideas from him.

Rock Solid Kettlebell Instructor!

I've had the pleasure of working side by side with John for over the past year. The most thorough Kettlebell Instructor, and Personal Trainer I have ever seen. He lives it, breathes it and preaches the Kettlebell Gospel! He is one of the reasons Kettlebell popularity is on the rise in Santa Clarita Ca.!

The quiet professional
Rated 10 out of 10
I had the pleasure of working with John at the San Diego RKC 2009. I couldn't have asked for more from an instructor than what John brought to the table. Through the hottest RKC on record he offered the students valuable advice and knowledge that only comes from years of experience.
I would gladly have John on my team again. John is a great guy and fantastic kettlebell instructor. So if you are in this area he will take your kettlebells to a new level.

John Kicks Kettle Bell Butt!
Rated 10 out of 10
Highly motivated and tailors every workout to the client-pushes you to the limit so much so that you feel like clocking him with the kettle bells! No really, a well integrated workout geared towards maximum fitness and reaching your goals safely, quickly and without injury. Great with all age groups whether it's busy mom's or surly teens!

Great Trainer, Great Guy!

I had the pleasure and privilege to work with John as my personal trainer for part of 2008 and 2009. He is highly motivational, encouraging, inspiring and obviously loves what he does. Additionally, for anyone with physical limitations, he is very creative and tailors training sessions to the needs of his clients that provide maximum benefits within appropriate boundaries. For me, what separates John from other professionals I have worked with is how much I came to trust him!

I LOVE taking John's Kettle Bell classes! He pushes you to the fullest even when you don't want to. However, once it is all over with I feel that I am on top of the world! He is very caring to your needs, very motivated, smart and STRONG! One thing about John is that you never know what he has in store for you when you attend his classes but, you know it's going to be a workout! He is my witness to my fitness!

Knowledge is Power!!
Rated 10 out of 10
John has been a trainer for some time and even when i first met him some 5 years ago I was impressed with his knowledge of training and results with clients.
As a former trainer - i worked along side John several times over the years but also sought his stregth conditioning and nutrional advice. He has always strived to understand new concepts and techniques and utilize that knowledge to help clients.
John is a TOP-TRAINER and I would recommend him to all my friends, family and business associates.

John is an excellent instructor and definitely helped me pass my RKC in 2009. He is not the in-your-face, ego driven type. He is more calm, collected, and thoughtful. And just plain helpful. I'd send anyone to see him.
