Homegrown Fitness

So far I’ve had 3 sessions with John and they are so much fun! I was looking for something to change up my cardio, and was itching to do kickboxing again. I used to do it regularly in Pasadena for many years but hadn’t found something I liked in Orange County. I was disappointed with another trainer I had tried here so was referred to him. The sessions have been great, he puts together complex combinations (upon special request) and keeps you challenged. He also uses a combination of other exercises to give you a total body workout. Since he is mobile, he brought a scale that measures body fat AND visceral fat. I had never seen that. He also brought resistance bands, an ab roller and boxing equipment. He offers 30 and 60 minute sessions which is great for my schedule. And I love the fact that he also coaches you on nutrition. I’m pretty on point with my nutrition but it’s nice that he can offer this service as part of his commitment to you because 80% of the formula, is what you eat.

Up until I worked with John as my personal trainer, I felt clueless and overwhelmed about changing my lifestyle to be healthier. I’d also been intimidated by the idea of having a personal trainer but working with him proved that having one is a huge benefit. I knew I needed to lose weight but wasn’t sure how to start. I was so glad to have worked with John-​he is an expert when it comes fitness and health. He was great at helping and guiding me through our work outs and what foods I should be focusing on. He also helped me find strength I never knew I had. With his help, I’ve lost weight and learned how to build muscle! If you’re looking for a personal trainer to really help you change your lifestyle to be healthier, John is your guy!

I started training with John in February 2013. I decided to give him a try because I honestly had no idea how to reach my fitness goals. Initially I wanted to lose weight for health reasons (I was on meds daily and having health issues). I had been to many gyms, would do the same exercises a few times a week for several weeks and then get burned out when I didn’t see results. Once I started training with John, I never looked back. He has such a passion for what he does and has helped and guided me to push far beyond my goals, something I never thought was possible. In under a year, with John’s help, I went from being extremely overweight with very little energy to cutting my body fat in half and being the healthiest I have ever been in my life. I was able to get off my meds and genuinely felt like I had gotten my life back. I have had such a a radical transformation while under his direction that everyone in my life has taken notice and it has encouraged other people I know to pursue a healthier lifestyle as well. There is no way I could have done this without John. He pays attention, listens to my feedback, keeps our workouts fun and challenging and is always available to help me when I need it (including getting back to me outside of our sessions.) He is so knowledgeable about fitness and always answers any questions I have. He has educated me on what proper nutrition looks like and changes my routine depending on what goals I am setting for myself. I always look forward to our sessions, even after a year and a half of training with him three times a week! I completely trust John and know that no matter what my goals are, he can help me to achieve them. If you are serious about making changes to your life regarding health and fitness, John can help you do it.

I have had personal training with John for about a year now. He tailored my program to meet my goals and kept the training interesting, fun, and intense. I wanted a core focused workout that included strength training and kickboxing.
John is always fun to be around. He is very knowledgeable about training, fitness, and nutrition. He watches your form and provides positive encouragement. I have observed him train elite athletes, those new to the gym, and seniors.
He isn’t overbearing or too much in your face. He has a great sense of when to push you a little harder and when to back off.
If you are looking for a great trainer to get your fitness level up or set you up with a great weight loss program, John is your trainer.

When John first started training me, I was overweight, lethargic, had little energy and had nooo idea that the food I was eating was making my condition worse. What I liked about working with John was that he not only worked with me on understanding the importance of exercise but he also took time to help me manage my diet. John coached me in the pool, with weights, with TRX, and I even got trained in kickboxing with John! John has a unique way of making his sessions fun which is awesome because it doesn’t feel like torture (which is the way I always vowed going to the gym prior to John) but you get to see results if you put in your end of the work. If you’re lookjbg for a personal trainer I truly recommend none other than John Davis!

John use to be my personal trainer for several months. He always mixed up my training sessions and kept it motivating and interesting! Our trainings varied from trx, shadow boxing, and heavy rope exercises. I was always being challenged and felt accomplished. John is also very knowledgable about his exercises and customizes each workout so no workout is ever the same for any individual. Thanks John :)
