Longfellow Athletics

I dropped into one of Jason’s classes yesterday and had to come leave a great review. I am a casual crossfitter and wanted/​needed to work on my Oly lifts. I basically suck and need all the help I can get. This was one of the best 1.5 hours I have ever spent. Jason is attentive and super knowledgeable. It is always great to have someone watch your lifts, help positions and show you ways to work on your weaknesses. Needless to say after just one session, I have A LOT of homework. I have already told some friends and plan to go back to see Jason at least 1x a month to work on my lifts. I would totally say no matter what level you are, it is worth having FRESH EYES look at your lifts. Jason is an excellent coach and I will be coming back.

Jason is an absolutely exceptional trainer and coach. His knowledge of body mechanics and function is excellent and he has a fantastic ability to tailor the program to each individual’s skill set and requirements. I have had tried other Olympic lifting coaches before I found Jason and for me there was no comparison. Jason is far and away the best coach I have worked with. Jason’s emphasis on correct form was exactly what I was looking for. All of my movement patterns feel better and stronger.
On top of all his skill as a coach, Jason is just a great guy to work with. He very generous with his time and genuinely cares about helping his athletes perform at their best. I really can not recommend him highly enough.

Jason is a great person and an awesome coach. He is every bit as knowledgeable and professional as you would expect from a trainer of his caliber, but his meticulous personal touch is what sets him apart. It is clear when you meet him that he genuinely cares about you and your fitness goals.
I went to Jason for Olympic lifting with a hurt left hip and right shoulder. He observed me for various lifts and explained to me why I was in pain. He taught me about my movement patterns, how to stretch my troubled leg muscle and how my shoulder was not in the right position because of my posture. Upon observing my snatch technique he identified some subtle but key errors I was making and taught me how to correct them. All this in my first session.
Needless to say, I have been training with Jason ever since. He definitely has a bank of knowledge and knows exactly how to apply it to get you where you want to be, regardless of your fitness goals. His attention to detail is second to none and in my experience I learn something new every session. I have steadily improved in all my lifting technique, gained strength and remain pain free.
If you want a no bullshit trainer who knows exactly what he’s doing and genuinely wants you to succeed, Jason is your man. I know he will help me reach my goals and I recommend his expertise to help others do the same.
P.S Do yourself a favor and leave your phone in your gym bag because you will have his full attention and he’s always ready to work!

Jason is one of the utmost professional, trustworthy, and friendly individuals I’ve met. And I mean that sincerely. The man is just a great person to be around and learn from.
In addition to his genuine personality, his knowledge and skills are top notch. There’s definitely no shortage of trainers in LA, but the true experts are few and far between. Experts like Jason have learned not only from books, but from years of personally practicing and honing their craft. Jason is an expert craftsman of the trade.
Whatever your fitness goals, it is important to learn the right way of doing things. You can be confident that with Jason you are in good hands.

I’ve been training with Jason for the last few months and I can honestly say that he is a FANTASTIC trainer. I am a gym owner myself and see Jason to help me with my own lifting and technique.
He is very approachable, knowledgeable and works well with all levels of fitness.
Since working with Jason my lifts have increased and my technique looks and feels a lot smoother.
I would recommend Jason for anybody that would like to work on their Olympic Lifting or anybody would wants great personal training

As a student, you always want a teacher that not only instructs, but instructs well and cares about your performance in the classroom. Jason gives 120% in making sure his students are well looked after and that he is hitting whatever your goals are. As an instructor, he gives attention in evaluating your movements and giving tips on improvements. You’ll see a lot of trainers watch their clients do the wrong movements for basic exercises, but Jason will jump in and fix those errors in your movement… and boy do those slight changes make a huge difference!
A bit about my experience: I went to him for Olympic lifting because a friend of mine wanted to do it. Not really knowing what to expect, I jumped in and did it because I wanted to change my body — I felt that I had plateaued from the same-​ish routine I had been doing the last few years. As I’ve been working with him over the last few months, he’s been able to throw in new routines not just from Olympic lifting exercises, but also circuit training and giving me tips other exercises that I can do to build the same muscle groups I’ve been trying to build. I’ve definitely seen an evolution in my body for the better!
On a side note, Jason works with a lot of different clients from Olympic lifting (his favorite), sports performance training, power lifting, flexibility to everyday exercises that you would do at the gym. He’s always throwing exercises that I’ve never done before and he’s got a huge library of routines to do.
If you’re into fitness, definitely check him out! First session is free :)

Here’s my story:
I was a star athlete in high school and in college, but I damaged my spine and back, so I can’t join my buddies who do CrossFit, and the Insanity workout required me to do a few things that I can no longer safely do.
I couldn’t stand the thought of putting on excess weight, with no way to maintain my desired appearance and fitness level. I tried a couple of different trainers, but then (luckily), I was introduced to Jason Longfellow of LONGFELLOW ATHLETICS.
I really tried to grill Jason during our first meeting, just to see how strong and well-​rounded his knowledge base was, and also to see what his personality was all about.
First of all, the dude’s in shape himself, and he practices what he preaches, in terms of strength training, diet, supplementation, hydration, and recovery.
Jason will put together a customized, step-​by-​step program that’s specifically for YOU, and what you want to achieve for your fitness objectives. He didn’t present me with anything flashy, and didn’t try to upsell me with extra things I didn’t need.
There are alot of people out there who «kinda» know what they’re talking about, but I only have time for a true expert, and I want the best results I can get. I TRUST Jason Longfellow, and I’m very pleased with what he has done to improve my fitness level.
His other clients love him also, and he’s one person who truly deserves the praise he’s getting.

Jason is a wonderful trainer! When you workout with him, you quickly see that he really cares about helping you reach your goals and he’ll give you 110% to helping you reach them. He’s knowledgable, honest, and all around just a great guy. He’s one of those few percentage of people that really have integrity. He plans out your workout and has it with him to follow for your training session. I’ve been seeing great results from training with him. He’s an awesome trainer that on a 1 – 10 scale, I’d give him a 10!

Jason is a very *personal* personal trainer. I have never seen him checking his phone, talking to other people, or exhibiting any of the other bad habits I have seen from other trainers. Every minute of your session is about you and more importantly Jason keeps things interesting. I have been going twice a week for several months and he still brings out new fun exercises. I never thought I would describe working out as fun, but with Jason it is.
If you are bored with your current gym routine I would highly recommend Jason. He focuses a lot on form and he will track your progress with monthly measurements (probably more if you wanted it).
