My daughter in Santa Clarita, CA called me to tell me she was working with John as a personal trainer. I didn't know anything about Kettlebells so I began to research and eventually bought a 16kg kettlebell. I watch some YouTube videos and began swinging. Actually thought I was doing something good. In June I visited my daughter in Santa Clarita and signed up for some classes with John.... In addition to having the best workouts EVER, I learned how to properly use the kettlebell without hurting myself. John took the time to teach the right warmup routines for the session were were going to have and also taught the right technique for me (as a beginner) to use in my own workouts. John brings an excitement and enthusiasm to the workout. Thanks John for your help and for working with my daughter. She has never been more excited about working out.

I had the pleasure of meeting John at a seminar at the Paseo Club in Santa Clarita, CA. John not only possesses the knowledge and skill of teaching proper kettlebell technique and form but also has the passion and the excitement to keep you fully engaged. He has the ability to take even the most complex exercises and techniques and makes them easy to understand and apply to your own training which is the mark of an excellent teacher. If you are in the area, I can't recommend his services highly enough!

I consider John a close personal friend. We have been trainers together at several gyms over the past 10 years and when I have a question about Kettlebell training I go to John. I am no newbie to kettlebells mind you, John is just that good. I own a CrossFit gym now in Manhattan Beach Ca. and John is my go too for Kettlebell seminars for my clientele. People gladly paying top dollar for only a few hours of his time. I know that his mastery of HardStyle is exactly what a CrossFitter wants and needs to take their fitness to a higher level. If you live within 50 miles of this guy, it is worth the drive and money to learn from a true class-act and great Kettlebell instructor.

John is great not only with RKC instuction but he has a wild imagination in "inventing" his work outs.It is never " boring" in his class, and he makes you want to acheive the best in you! He is also very into healthy eating and has a good understanding what place food has in your life. This quality of understanding physical fitness as well as diet fitness is what is needed more in the world! He truly lives what he preaches. He welcomes any age or ability and works with your individual needs.

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.

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.

I had the pleasure of assisting on Doug Nepodal's team with John at the San Diego RKC and he is extremely patient and knowsledgeable. I would send any family member to John because he really knows his stuff and didn't bark commands at the candidates.

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!

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!

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!
