Trahan Training

Jonathan is great! I have been training with him for a long time. He really assures correct posture, movement, and takes care to be sure you are properly stretched. He understands medica issues, injuries, and knows how to correct bad habits and improve physical problems.

I suffered from lower back pain for an entire year after a rear-​end collision, and it was getting progressively worse. I tried physical therapy, massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture, but the pain would not subside. After about a month of personal training with Jonathan, my back felt 90% better. Amazing, and what a relief!
He is an exceptional personal trainer with a lot of experience and knowledge. It gives me peace of mind both witnessing him assess and understand my unique condition, and knowing that my workouts are customized to remedy any problems while balancing and strengthening my body. After about 4 months of training, I am stronger – and in a well-​rounded way – and more flexible than I’ve ever been. Not only do I feel better throughout the day, heck, walking is better, but my favorite sports (tennis, running, mountain biking, and rock climbing) are easier and more enjoyable than ever before. Furthermore, I had spent many years lifting weights at the gym, but now I have an entirely new and improved perspective on strength and flexibility training.

I started personal training with Jonathan after several years of off and on physical therapy for a lower back injury. I was not a regular gym goer. In fact, I had always been quite intimidated by it. When I started with Jonathan his experience and professionalism quickly calmed my nerves, encouraged me and set me on a course of vast physical improvements. He has a great talent to blend together exercises needed to fix your issues and move you to do things you never thought you could do.
I have measurable improvements in my flexibility, balance, stamina, coordination, and strength. Most importantly, i have eliminated my chronic back pain and learned to manage my injury when stress and other factors aggravate it.
Jonathan has given me the confidence to go to the gym on my own, knowledge to understand my limits (and when to push them) and enough practice with some «impressive» exercises (e.g. tossing those kettle bells around like nobody’s business) to even show off a little bit.

Jonathan is an amazingly skilled and knowledgable trainer and postural specialist. With Jon, my core has gotten stronger, my balance so much better (he has me doing squats standing on a stability ball!), and I’ve squatted the most I’ve ever done! Not to mention he’s helped to fix my hip rotation. Got goals? Jon will help you meet them.

I’ve been training with Jonathan for 18 months now and it’s been a total adventure. I started out like most people: wanting to look fit. I have way surpassed that superficial goal (I happily brush my teeth shirtless every night!) and have experienced many other benefits to training: I run faster and my chronic back pain has disappeared. But the best thing to come out of my training is that now I look forward to going to the gym. I feel confident enough to walk into any workout space and take over. This has enabled me to continue working out and staying fit — something I will do for the rest of my life now thanks to Jonathan.

I went to Jonathan for help getting into shape. Although I am a very active individual I found that I was overusing some areas of my body and wanted to create a general sense of overall strength. The first day he noticed that my muscles were very tight (I never stretch… oops!) and asked if I had any knee issues. As it turns out, I had been dealing with a sharp pain in my knee for years but was unaware that anything could be done about it and hadn’t even thought to mention it. He told me this was the result of all my muscle tension and could be fixed! That’s the great thing about Jonathan — although I originally went to get fit, he helped me fix issues I already had and my knee problem actually went away. Jonathan is a great trainer — he will help you get into shape but he will also pay the closest attention to your overall well-​being and will improve your overall physical health.
