John

A long time ago in a galaxy far away, John began training in the martial arts at the age of 9 and hasn't stopped training for almost 35 years. This lifelong training journey has led him to train under several excellent teachers in several styles, earning several black belts, run his own dojo for 11 years, perform as a pro-wrestler, and, most recently, become a professional stunt performer in several live shows as well as films and TV. Shortly after becoming a father (twice!) he also decided he didn't want to carry around the extra 75 lbs a lifetime of uninformed eating and exercise habits had left him with. His fitness journey began with a focus on HIIT Training and Calisthenics and the positive results were addicting! He became a Certified Personal Trainer in 2017, and his repertoire has grown to include a healthy balance of Lifting, Yoga & Primal Movement and Running. Martial arts workouts, including heavy bag striking, mitt striking and sparring remain his favorite to this day. …Lookout for John on Beast Mode day!!!
