While vacationing in Australia, I tandem skydived with an instructor. A wind shear threw our parachute off course and we were hurled to the ground. As a result, I suffered a compound fracture (when bone pierces skin) of the right femur. After spending 4 months with a physical therapist, becoming disgruntled and dissatisfied with the rate of progress, I contacted Jason. Within 2 months I went from hobbling slowly up stairs with a severe limp to jogging up the stairs without a limp. I now have the ability to balance and stabilize myself once again.

Jason is a perfect friend who binds me to himself with the beauty of his heart, companionableness, his sense of humor and friendship in a foreign country where I do not know the culture and people at all. It was my chance to meet Jason ...
Jason is always affable, full of love and he spreads positive energy to anyone else around him. I wanna say a few words about what I gained after I've met him besides having a marvelous person as a friend!

I am (was) the kind of a girl that needs to be inspired to work out. I enjoy it but I've never felt at all motivated to work out before I've met Jason. Jason was so patient and tolerant that he has stood for all my anti-professional attitudes like cutting our sessions and being late... It was the reflection of his respect to his stuff and his professionalism that I, a kind of a girl, who did not have the energy and desire to working out, used to wake up 5.30 am almost every morning for our working out session at 7.30 am and put forward to do this as a force of habit and a lifestyle. I always looked forward to out training sessions. No matter I felt when I enter the gym, I always had a great work out with him. Jason is very much concerned for his client's individual health and fitness needs. He has always been very professional in every conceivable way like his knowledge, attention to details and his ability to develop the weak areas in my body. Working out with Jason, has made me more conscious of how I treat my body. The changes in my physical appearance were really impressive and that boosted my confidence enormously. I'm now in better shape, stronger, healtier and I feel so much better about myself. Fitness training is Jason's life and I know he's very happy to live that life! ... I'm very lucky and thankful that I have Jason both as my personal trainer and my friend, a very special friend... Love ya Jason!

Before I met Jason, I could not walk for more than five minutes before my feet and back started to hurt and I would have to sit down. I also had poor posture and no flexibility. I had seen two podiatrists, two rheumatologists, and a chiropractor, all of which resulted in a marginal reduction of pain. I'd even been to the ER twice because of such intense pain and neither visit seemed to make much difference. Then I met Jason.

With one session, I felt an instant reduction of my back and feet pain. He diagnosed the cause of my pain and showed me what I was doing wrong that was actually contributing to my pain. Through regular sessions with Jason, I learned how to strengthen the key muscles and increase the flexibility in other muscles to improve my balance, increase my flexibility, improve my posture, tone my muscles and most importantly, reduce my pain significanatly. Plus, I lost 10 pounds as a bonus with his nutrition guidelines.

Now, I have a custom tailored fitness regimen that I can use for the rest of my life. I am more in tune with my body and what needs to be strengthened or stretched. I eat more healthily and have more energy. I dropped from a 10 to a 4 in clothing sizes and feel much more confident.

Jason helped me to help myself for the rest of my life.

When I decided to enlist the services of a Personal Trainer, I had reached a point of serious self-loathing. I hated my mid-40 year old body—at least the half of it below the waist. I had dieted, exercised and scolded myself to no avail. I wasn’t necessarily overweight or out of shape---just not in the shape and at the weigh I pictured as ideal. My options were liposuction (potentially risky and prohibitively expensive) or professional fitness training (safe and affordable). I opted for the safe, affordable choice.

Throughout the past couple of years Jason has done more for my self-esteem and fitness than I could have ever accomplished on my own. I noticed changes in my body after the first month, along with increased energy and strength, and reduced stress.

Jason not only instructs, he LISTENS. He is acutely aware of my ability as well as my limitations and works within those parameters. I can’t thank Jason enough for the remarkable changes in me, inside as well as out, and highly recommend his special balance of head and heart that he lends to his training sessions.

I have participated in athletics for years and have always considered myself to be in shape. However, I never achieved the lean body I thought I deserved for working out regularly and eating healthy. I had tried numerous workouts and diets from magazines, but they never seemed to make a difference. I eventually gave up on looking thin and figured I just had to accept my genetics and the body I had.

After moving to San Diego, I decided I would give my body one more chance and get a personal trainer. I figured that if this did not make a significant difference then I would accept looking athletic without looking lean.

Jason initially had me try workouts around the track which incorporated different plyometrics, but this began to aggravate my knees. Jason was creative in coming up with other ways to challenge me that were less strenuous on my knees. After 3 weeks of training with Jason, using weights, an exercise ball and/or a medicine ball, my body fat percentage dropped 3%. My pants were too big in the waist and hips, my face looked thinner, and I had good muscle definition without looking bulky. When my personal training sessions were over, I looked as lean as I was in high school.

Jason always took the time to answer my lists of questions and he was able to explain the reasoning behind different exercise philosophies and the purpose of each exercise. In addition to teaching me about athletic training, Jason helped me establish a diet plan that included 6 meals a day, in order to boost my metabolism and energy levels while decreasing my overeating. Jason is a very knowledgeable trainer who takes the time to research new techniques and workout programs so he can continue to challenge his clients.

Training with Jason was such a positive experience. Because I was new to weight training I wanted to start off right. Jason really listened to what I wanted to accomplish and based on my results, I can say he definitely knew what I needed to do to get there. What consistently impressed me about Jason was the way he stayed completely focused on me during our training sessions. He watched every rep of every set to make sure I was getting the most out of every movement. That kind of attention really paid off. I was way more than just pleased with my results. In addition to all the training info, the nutritional guidance Jason provided was absolutely right on. I'm really looking forward to training again with Jason when I'm ready to go to the next level.

Thanks again for all your advice, expertise and encouragement during my workout sessions; and thanks for putting up with me when I didn't feel 100%.

I went to a singles ball on Saturday night and was able to wear a slinky dress that showed off my curves. I received so many compliments on how good I looked that it really made me feel good. Now I know my curves are genetic, but getting them to appear from behind the bulges is your doing!

I got asked out by several guys and have two dates lined up for the next week!

So, I just wanted to say "thanks" for your part in all that - it was great to have the confidence to wear that kind of dress.
