I've been coming to Fitness4ward for over a year, and it's been a life changer. I started coming here because I'd had a lot of medical procedures that left my health in shambles. I checked out other gyms, but this was definitely the best because: 1. An emphasis on strength and conditioning. I wanted more than just cardio, cardio, cardio. It was going to take more than just cardio to get my health back. I needed a well-rounded program that would build muscle and endurance. 2. Training quality. A lot of gyms have you just follow an app and speed through circuits, but I wanted actual people who could teach me correct form and give me personalized, real feedback. If I was going to follow an app, I could honestly just do that at home with an app from my phone, and it would be a fraction of the price with similar quality. The coaches at Fitness4ward are excellent, and a lot of the older members are extremely knowledgeable and happy to help too. 3. Pricing. It's actually a better deal per workout when compared to most chain gyms. If you want to work out consistently more than just twice a week, this gym is very affordable. (I come around 3 to 4 times a week.) I got my health back thanks to this gym. Before, I couldn't even walk my dogs for ten minutes without facing severe physical consequences for the rest of the day. Not only have I recovered my health, but I've fallen in love with working out in and of itself. It's surprising and exhilarating to push your body and mind out of your comfort zone and have it reach new limits that you thought were possible for everyone but yourself. And don't be intimidated by the program or the more experienced members! I never felt like anyone was judging me when I was brand new and couldn't even do three push ups. I'm still not the best even now, but I don't feel intimidated or judged. Everyone is at different levels and has a different story My husband is coming out with me now too, and we are both grateful to have a great gym where we can improve and maintain our health read more

I went there first day, and after filling the form- my question was what the monthly price was, as there was no indication on the website. And the owner responded that if I want a "Cheaper" option there are other gyms I could go to. Was hugely disappointed as the same thing he mentioned on second day that time I did not even ask anything. I ended up not continuing, disappointed with the quality of treatment I received on trial days. I said maybe because the set of exercises was good. If you don't mind the way you are answered and treated and main objective is to workout go for it. read more

Staff were all great. There's this 1:1 follow through, that I liked ( safety first ). Program they offer, Conditioning and strength pro. Our group joined when they had that 19 day trial. We would have continued and maybe even signed up as mbrs if the place was closer to us. Place was clean. Lots of parking. Friendly staff. Try them out, Black Friday special. read more

I am so damn happy I found this place. Fitness4ward has truly changed my life! Let me start off by saying that I am super busy these days with multiple projects I am running for my company. I noticed my mental health deteriorating and my energy completely depleted. I properly eating and my weight was the highest it was ever been in my 35 years of life. I knew I had to start making a change otherwise my health issues would be amplified. I work in the Sorrento/Miramar area but my commute home depending on traffic would be anywhere from 30-45 mins wasting time sitting in a car. I started looking for a gym/personal training facility in the proximity of my office. It took me some time but after searching online I find Fitness4ward. Automatically they were at the top of my list because of the awesome reviews and experiences other members had. I stopped by on a Monday to get an idea of the place. I was greeted by Jon and he spoke to me briefly while a session was happening. He gave me an idea of the workouts and schedule. What really gave me comfort was how kind he was and caring about my curiosity for the establishment. I took a picture of the schedule and told him Ill try it out for a couple of days and see from there. Next day I looked up the times of each classes and this was a huge one for me! Most places close so early, that by the time I am out of the office, I would not be able to attend a workout class. Not only do I now have multiple options, but by the time I am leaving, there is not traffic when I am heading home! After trying out for 2 days, I had become a member. Within 2 months of pretty consistent attendance, I truly feel the best I have ever in my life. Most of my workouts were in cardio before with other gyms or when I was aimlessly attending a gym with no guidance. I did not know that about strength and conditioning. Never in my life did I think I would be lifting and working out like I am today. Ill say it again, Fitness4ward has changed my life. read more

I found out about Fitness4ward via Groupon. After countless times of trying to motivate myself to stay active on my own, I wasn't getting consistent results and figured it was time to try something new. They're quick to respond, and Jon is good about connecting with you to figure out your own goals, understanding your commitment level, and explaining how this gym can enhance your lifestyle from wherever you're at on your fitness journey. This is a strength and conditioning gym, so a lot of the compound movements and circuit styles are effective. I'd suggest a few trial classes, but it's worth the price if you're interested in gaining results and investing in yourself. There's other gyms in the same plaza and on the same street (Performance 360, F45, 24Hr Fitness etc.) but Fitness4ward helps on a wholistic level with nutritional coaching, a supportive environment & programs tailored to you. The class coaches Jon, Wing, and Keith are there to ensure your form is right, you understand not just the movement but why and how it affects your overall health in the long run, and the community is so supportive. While it can be easier to get up to speed if you have previous experience, it's also fun as a beginner to test your strength and push any of your own limits. read more

Love loveee this gym-every week is different and I'm never bored! Everything from a one max PR to a mix of HIIT and weight training. Jon (the owner and coach) is professional and knowledgeable. Coach Keith is also a great trainer and super helpful. Everyone that goes to this gym is also friendly and super fit. My favorite gym! read more

August 2022 when my husband joined Fitness4ward, back then I was just dropping him off at the gym or sometimes I would wait at the parking lot until he finishes the class. He kept on asking me if I'd like to join because he said that it makes him feel energize and it's different from the other gyms in San Diego. I was skeptical at first, I was thinking if I could do that as well because I don't workout at all. I was overweight, out of shape, eating a lot of junk food and got no energy to start for this kind of lifestyle. After a month, I finally tried their complementary workout. From then on, I kept on going. I LOVE IT!!! I lost 20lbs as of now, FELT SO GOOD! the fun part is that I gained friends. We also go hiking, which I also love! It feels so good to be surrounded with people who have the same goals and who keeps on pushing one another to be better versions of themselves. Fitness4ward is my happy place. Something I am excited to do every day after a long day at work. They have fun classes and cool coaches. I would be so lost if i didn't join this awesome community. ‍ read more

I have exercised for most of my life. I was a runner in my 20s-40s but had to give that up when I wore my hip joints down so badly that both hips had to be replaced. For awhile, I tried exercising in other ways - swimming, pilates, peloton - but none of it felt the way I used to feel when I was running. I decided to try Fitness4ward in June 2023 because a friend of mine persuaded me to. For the first time since giving up running, I started getting that euphoric post-exercise feeling again. My muscles have gotten stronger and I have been feeling great! I get my blood tested by a naturopath every 6 months. My bloodwork has never given me any reason to be concerned. I had my blood tested in August 2023 and the results were the same as they had been for years. I just had my blood retested in March 2024, and almost every single marker is improved! I am not doing anything differently other than going to Fitness4ward. I am eating the same things. I had no idea that exercising in this way would be affecting my bloodwork, but it makes sense! Love it and cannot recommend Fitness4ward enough for all health issues!! read more

In just a few weeks/months of working with Fitness4ward and their wonderful team, I have seen a tremendous improvement in my overall health, fitness and physique! I had lower back pain before joining these guys, but I noticed it all go away and my back getting stronger! It has been the best decision that I took for myself. It's a great group to work with and I love it! Just make it to the gym and rest is taken care of! I am grateful read more

Fitness4ward has been the most recent experience in my fitness journey. I had previously done some weightlifting and cardio training at what I thought was high intensity. But I was not seeing the results I wanted. The training, coaching, and nutrition at fitness4ward took everything to a level I never thought was possible. This gym is great for people at all levels and will help to improve all aspects of your training. I have accomplished things at fitness4ward I thought were out of my ability or I did not have the genetics for. They showed me with proper training I can reach all my goals. I was able to get a six pack for the first time with their shred program and I am getting stronger every day. read more

Terrible, just called to get monthly rates. John responded with "how about I ask you about your goals first." I reiterated that I just wanted to get information about the rates. He rudely replies "we don't do that man, if you want that information, there's other places like F45" That tells me that it's probably expensive, and he tries give you his pitch first to not make it seem like it's so expensive to the potential customer afterwards. I personally can't trust someone who doesn't want to be transparent about their pricing. All I can say is a did my research on this place before I called already and all he had to do was be transparent about the price and be a half decent human being and I probably would have signed up. That being said, I completely relate and agree with the other 1 star reviews on here. read more

I am so thankful that I found Fitness4ward! I have been going there for almost 4 years. Jon keeps the workouts challenging and changes them up so you will never get bored with the workouts. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have gained. I am in my late 50s and feel better than I did 20 years ago! Another plus is the friendships I have made. Everyone is so welcoming. We keep each other accountable and check on one another. This is the first gym I have ever been to that is not intimidating. This gym is truly a gem! I will continue to go there for many years to come! I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to get serious about their health and well being. read more

I have been struggling to lose weight for a few years. I've worked with several trainers, both in person and online, and had only ever achieved minuscule success until I began training at Fitness4ward and working with Coach Jon and the rest of the Fitness4ward team. It's been 6 weeks, and I am down nearly 10 pounds, and 2.5% body fat. I am having more fun training than I've had in years, and the way that Coach Jon sets up your body composition and nutrition tracking makes it enjoyable and simple to adhere to. He also does an excellent job keeping you accountable. You can tell he is as invested in your goals as you are. The group workouts are a blast, and combine various kinds of compound and isolation work. The trainers running the classes are knowledgeable and friendly. People of every fitness level can take the same class and challenge themselves accordingly. All of the members I have met at all stages of their fitness journey are kind and encouraging. Also, this is not just a weight loss gym. Another aspect of joining that I enjoy is that my husband, who is focused on gaining weight and muscle, and I get to take class together! Coach Jon is equally as knowledgeable assisting him with his goals, and he's seen a ton of progress as well. I am so grateful that I found this place and highly recommend giving them a try! read more

This gym has changed my life. I've never really been a big fan of working out and going to gyms but once I made the effort to join, I noticed that in the first 6 week challenge I lost 20 lbs. I couldn't believe it. That encouraged me to push for the next challenge and my results were compounding. This program has made me not only see positive results, it has also encouraged me to stay committed to my goals of staying fit and living a healthy lifestyle. I can't recommend him enough! read more

This gym is hands down the best place to work out in San Diego.... I have been to many places in the past and nothing compares to the quality of customer service, the efficacy of their workouts, the friendliness of the trainers and just the overall vibes of this place. You get what you pay for, a detailed year round fitness routine, and a personal trainer to guide you at all times. You will never plateau with the trainers here, they constantly go above and beyond to make sure you meet your fitness goals! They are highly motivational and will always try to push you to the best of your abilities. I highly recommend given them a try :) read more

I have been a member of Fitness4ward for over 10 years and I love it more as the time goes on. Jon provides a great learning atmosphere with knowledgeable coaches. The members are very encouraging and fun to train with. I cannot think of a better place to work on my fitness. read more

This place is all-around incredible! Jon is an amazing trainer who teaches everything from fundamental weight-lifting, form and technique. The work-outs are always so fun & original (circuit sets) and it always keeps it exciting. The community is by far the best part about this gym - not only is everyone so down-to-earth, but we all keep each other so positively accountable and motivated. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I started working out here 4 years ago. It's been an amazing fitness journey throughout the 4 years. I have met countless friends and created countless memories with the people here. It's very fun and I love how Jon and the other coaches encourage me to become my better self each day. I have become a lot stronger than I could have ever imagined and have been living a lot healthier of a life prior to fitness4ward! read more

Love this gym. Not just for the results I got, but also for the knowledge I learned and the amazing community that I got to be a part of. I was pretty lost when it came to fitness before this gym. I was just jumping from routine to routine from different magazines and IG influencers without really making any progress. I didn't hold myself accountable to anyone, I didn't track my results, and I also didn't challenge myself very much when I did workout. Jon and Josh taught me how to do all those things. I'm using everything I learned to advance on my own now and I can honestly say I feel confident about my fitness future because of that! My disclaimer: The coaching, while supportive and constructive, can be a little tough. If you understand that it's coming from a place of love and passion for helping others then you'll have no issues. That being said, I'm so glad I was brought to this gym. It's really changed my life. I only switched because I relocated, but I miss it a lot! read more

I can't recommend this place enough! I've done years of Pilates and spin classes but I always found myself wanting more. I'd been wanting to give weight training a try, but I didn't know where to start and I knew I'd be lost doing it on my own at a commercial gym. I found Fitness 4ward and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Jon and his staff of coaches are phenomenal. Every session is planned out and part of an overall training program. They accept members at every level of fitness and experience, and there is a heavy emphasis on form and technique. You don't have to worry about getting injured here. With consistency and dedication the results come fast and you'll find yourself quickly gaining that confidence we all strive for in the gym. Jon's wealth of knowledge doesn't stop at weight training though! He can coach you through your nutrition and will do check ins with you on your measurements and goals. I initially joined the gym hoping to lose weight, and for the first time in my years of effort I am seeing results. It's been so encouraging that I've even changed my goals with time and have been working towards building more muscle. (My last set of measurements revealed a smaller waist and larger booty) In addition to the training this gym has an incredible community. I've made so many friends here and there isn't a better feeling in the world than being cheered on by your peers while you hit a new PR. We do community hikes and happy hours so there is a lot of opportunity for socializing if that's something you're interested in. Again, I cannot say enough good things about this place, please just give it a try read more

I am now I'm my 13 year with Jon at Fitness4Ward. I have always been a strength focused person but I'm March I decided to lose some weight and now in August I have lost 32 pounds. As I approach my 30th anniversary I am only 3 pounds away from my wedding weight. Why have I found success here. The answer is simple, it feels like family when you work out here. Most members have been here for years and we all know each other. New members are welcomed and supported by the current members. Everyone is positive, encouraging and supportive. The coaches focus on proper form and technique so you learn proper technique and avoid injury. The classes vary in structure throughout the year so you get a full body, full spectrum workout over the year. It's never the same thing over and over. The owner is selective because he is ethical. He interviews every client and if he doesn't think his approach is a good fit for you he won't take your money. The staff here will help you succeed in every way, you just have to want to succeed. I'm a senior citizen now with decades of gym and military experience, this is the best program in San Diego. read more

My husband and I joined this gym about 3 years ago. At first, we were just looking for a place to workout and my personal goal was just to lose some weight. We've been together for a while and we have gained some "relationship weight". We didn't know what we signed up for! Jon is a hilarious mofo coach, mentor and motivator. He pushed us harder than any other gyms we previously joined. Every workout is different. We are ALWAYS sore afterwards and LOVE it.  When we first joined, we thought everyone is either a robot or super-human. They can run, sprint, lift heavier, and push and pull harder than us. I was very intimidated but Jon was very supportive. It's not about competing with everyone, it's You against You! If you put in the time and effort, you will see results. The key is consistency! This gym has some serious BEASTS. It's no longer a place just to workout. This is where I have: tested my limits, learned about nutrition and lifting techniques, learned how to lift and how to safely spot someone, and learned how to deal with injuries and mobility.  Now I can proudly say that I can do proper push ups, squat over my body weights and dead-lift my husband's weight (and he ain't light). The community is also very supportive here, people want you to work hard. They WILL HELP you if you don't know what you're doing.  My favorite quote from Jon: If you put in half-ass effort, you will get half-ass result. Simple is that! read more

If you're reading this, then you are probably looking for a boot camp to join, or to change from what you're currently doing. Congrats! You just found your new place, and this is the start of a new you. It doesn't matter what your fitness level is, if you are here to get better, the coaches will push and challenge you to be that better person. This isn't some cookie cutter boot camp either, where you'll start seeing repetition in the workouts, and things become predictable. Trust me, you'll never get bored as the workouts change and evolve. In the many years I've been coming to this gym, I don't think I have ever repeated the same workout. Since coming here, I've improved all aspects of my fitness. I can run faster and further, lift heavier than I thought was possible, and learned proper form. I've lost fat, gained muscle, and gained gym buddies! Speaking of gym buddies, the people here want you to succeed. Fitness4Ward has an awesome community of folks that is there sweating with you every step of the way and challenging you to be the better you. So, long story short - this is the place where you will become a better version of you. The coaches, community, and other tools are here, you just need to put in the hard work and sweat. read more

Love this place ! I was looking for a boot camp to help motivate me to work out. I found this place right down the street from where I work and they had workout times early morning before I go to work and in the evening around the time I'm off work so it was perfect. It started off hard to get ahold of anyone and no call back or replies to my emails so I went to talk to someone there. The reason for the slow response was they had a Groupon going on so they were flooded with inquiries. I felt much better once I talked to someone. I went ahead and bought the 8 week Groupon. The best deal out there. and started the filling Monday at 5am. I never get up that early but I wanted to push myself and I'm glad I did. The first day I definitely felt like throwing up. but Jon the trainer is awesome, he pushes you to keep going but doesn't make you feel uncomfortable if you just aren't advanced yet. He had me at least try every workout and then gave options on what to do if I couldn't do it right away since I was just beginning. The place is clean, plenty of parking and everyone there is at different levels so there is no judgment. I became stronger as the weeks went on and felt good. I recently finished my 8 weeks and am in transition of getting ready to move. if I stay in the area, I will definitely continue to go here. read more

Fitness4ward is the best gym I have ever trained at! I have made tremendous progress in my fitness journey and it has made training regularly an addiction for me. Jon is an awesome coach, he has not only helped me lose weight but also taught me lifting techniques to build muscle and strength. The Fitness4ward community is absolutely incredible in the way that they always cheer you on, support you and motivate you to achieve greater goals. I started running because of my amazing gym buddies. Jon helped me train for my first half marathon earlier this year and now I'll be training under his guidance for a Full Marathon run early next year. This place has helped me become stronger both physically and mentally. I would highly recommend you try them out if you're serious about your health and fitness. I bet you won't regret!! read more

Jon is an incredible fitness coach with more than a decade of experience in coaching individuals to achieve their fitness goals. He only allows people in his gym who are committed to better themselves and work towards their goals seriously. I have been going to this gym since Jun 2017 and still absolutely love it and 100% recommend to anyone who wants to change their lifestyle and achieve fitness goals. Every workout session is unique and I have not seen a similar workout in last 2.5 years, which makes the workout interesting and challenging. I love the energy, commitment, empathy, and support of the fellow gym members who will help and motivate you when you need the most. I have been to multiple gyms but have never experienced this level of dedication mindset towards fitness and well being overall. Jon has an amazing one of kind personality filled with humor, sarcasm, motivations that keep you going when you are sweating on your most difficult workout read more

Looking for a gym that actually sticks? Or a great community of supporting athletes? This is the gym for you! I've been with this gym for 2 years and lost 20 pounds. But at the same time gained muscle and kept it on! For as long as I remember I have always hated my body image. I would hate looking at myself in the mirror and would nit-pick at every little thing. I was depressed, self loathing, and self hating. But I constantly had an excuse to try to justify my situation. "I'm too busy working." Or my favorite go to, " I have to study." Along with my late night studying, I'd eat candy or chips or late night McDonald's run. I always felt tired, sleepy, and unmotivated. It was a never ending cycle of self hate and fries. I finally started signing up for bootcamps here and there. I would do a 6 week program and then move on to the next one. I never got the feeling that they actually cared about me and my goals. They just wanted another paying customer. I didn't learn anything or was told why I was doing certain excercises. I never stuck to a program so I never kept the weight off. It always came back. And I would hate myself again. It wasn't until I happened to find Fitness4ward through Groupon. I vividly remember having my first sit-down with the trainer Jon Chapetta. He asked me what my situation was, what my goals we're and if I was willing to do what it takes. He listened to me and guaranteed me that he would help me reach my goals. And since then I have stayed with him and his boot camp. Thank you Jon for helping me through my fitness journey and constantly pushing me to do my best. I initially absolutely hated going through your doors because it was hard and would want to throw up after each workout. But now I eagerly can't wait to see what challenge you have for us. Im nowhere near my end goal, but they say it's the journey, not the end goal. read more

Fitness4ward - Silliness ensues - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

I joined fitness4ward almost a year ago, and I highly recommend it. I've never been the type of person to work out regularly, but Jon and the other coaches bring a lot of energy to the classes and motivate everyone to accomplish their goals. If you are ready for the commitment, the only regret you'll have is to not have joined fitness4wars sooner. read more

My daughter works out at the gym next door for 2 hours twice a week so I decided to walk over to ask information about this company. A quick background about myself I took some time off from the gym due to previous sports injuries (distance running and crossfit) now that I'm able to work out again i have been in search of a good reliable gym. I walked into the facility and asked the trainer what do they offer and he responded with, we are only looking for serious people, which I completely understand but what I dont understand is why doesn't he thinks I'm serious?! Wow where's the customer service?! All I wanted to know is basic general information and if this gym fits my needs. Well I guess NOT! #rude read more

After thanksgiving I gave a lot of thought into joining a gym. I did a lot of research about different places and then came across the Instagram page for Fitness4ward. Right off the bat I was super interested to join. The first few sessions I was a bit shy, but the trainers are so amazing and made me feel so welcome and that really helped my confidence. I've been going since early December and even just after the first two weeks it had impacted my life so much. I feel more motivated, happier, and look forward to challenging myself. There is a great community here that helps you push yourself. I've never been a morning person but I now look forward to waking up at 5:15 for the 6 am session! Thanks Fitness4ward read more

I have always struggled with my weight, self esteem and have jumped from gym to gym, diet to diet and never stuck with anything before finding Fitness4ward. I have been a member for 2 years and the results I've accomplished are more than physical. I'm physically and mentally stronger than EVER. Jon and Josh are the best trainers in San Diego (HANDS DOWN) and will get you to any result you desire. They will push you, hold you accountable and most of all encourage you. They also practice what they preach and if you're lucky to be in a session training with them, it's badass. Besides having the coaches, you also get a community of members who will motivate and inspire you to become the best YOU!!! Fitness4ward is more than a gym. It has become my home away from home, and has changed my life forever. read more

This is a gym well-suited for people that want to challenge themselves and see results. Each day has a different primary body focus (back, legs, arms, chest) and the techniques/movements change on a weekly basis (one week will focus on negative reps, another on hitting your PRs, yet another will focus on as many reps as possible, etc.). The coaches provide examples of each move prior to the workout and continued guidance during the workout to help perfect your form. They're also happy to provide suggestions for appropriate weights (barbells/dumbells) or ways to make the moves more challenging. For beginners, the focus tends to be on getting a solid form with easier moves whereas with more experienced folks the emphasis is on heavier weights and more challenging positions. The best (and perhaps most terrible) part of working out here is that the value you receive depends on how much effort you put in. As such, as long as you take steps to challenge yourself (better form, more reps, heavier weights) the exercises never get 'easier', but your performance will absolutely increase. The gym is also a great environment. Everyone is quite friendly and want to see others succeed and are often willing to help each other. As a bonus, if you pick a particular time and go there with regularity you'll often see the same faces and make some friends; this will make it easier to get into the habit of working out. If you stick with it and put in the effort you will see results. read more

I joined this 6 week boot camp fitness class. This class is amazing. Jon works you out to your fullest. I get pumped in the morning to work out because of his class. He works out all the areas of your body with unique cardio, weights, etc...I am 20 lbs over weight and am 4'11. Not cute lol so he's working my ass, literally! I've never been so sore in my life but without pain there is no progress. I plan on doing his class forever as long as the budget is there. I recommend everyone to take his class! read more

Fitness4ward - Stretching. - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

Fitness4ward member here for almost 5 years! If you love challenging workouts this is your go-to gym. Every week, you'll have a different type of workout. It can range from conditioning loaded workouts where you feel like a dying dog at the end of the workout or strength loaded workout where every muscle in your body hates you. Sometimes, you can have both. You also get to workout with such an amazing group of people. I am probably in my fittest now compared to when I was in my 20s. And man, I'm old but if you're motivated to change things in your life and be the healthy version of yourself, then you gotta talk to Jon. If you're a whiner, this gym not for you. Listen, I'm just going to say this once, SORENESS will never ever leave you! I don't know how I lasted this long...But yeah.. don't be wimp and just do it! See yah at bootcamp and let's all be a sexy beast! read more

I love working with Jon, he help his clients achieve excellence and their fitness goals. Great atmosphere and family like community.

This bootcamp is very inspiring. The trainer Jon is excellent at motivating and pushing you. He is very positive and is constantly reminding you why you are there, which helps as you push yourself more and more each day. He helps you understand the changes needed in order for you to reach your goals and as a result makes you believe in yourself. It is a very positive environment. You will find a very diverse group with one common goal. I have learned so much here and I highly recommend this boot camp. read more

Fitness4ward - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

I found Fitness4ward through a Groupon deal and after the first workout I was hooked. What got me was Jon's welcoming attitude and the boot camp classes he runs. I haven't been to other gyms since joining and I honestly have no desire to workout anywhere else. The members that workout here are like family. We treat each other with respect no matter what level of fitness we are, and most importantly we all motivate each other to reach our goals. Jon also likes to send out emails to motivate us through the week and he may even shoot you a text; he really is dedicated to his passion and you can see he wants to share that with everyone. The classes focus on different muscle groups each day but there are so many variations to his workouts that I never once felt like it was repetitive coming in the following week. I kid you not, every day is a new challenge. Jon also holds group events like hikes and different seminars in the gym such as yoga, proper stretching, and lifting techniques which are taught by other instructors. It's a nice break from going beast mode here (my legs are still sore from a workout two days ago). I'm very thankful for Jon and his wealth of knowledge in fitness and nutrition. He has inspired me and my fellow members to reach goals whether it be at the gym or in our personal lives. Coming here is a part of my life and because of that I'm in the best shape compared to 10 years ago. I'm proud to say it's all because I made the choice to join Fitness4ward. Thank you, Jon!! read more
