Jon Ly Fitness

Jon Ly is organized, flexible, and will get you to where you want to be fitness wise.

I have been working out with Jon for a year now — he is awesome! He customizes challenging workouts every session and factors in things I am trying to work on. I have hip flexer pain, Jon chooses exercises to help with this. I want to have better posture, Jon finds new exercises for back muscles to help this improve… he definitely knows his stuff!
He is really personable, flexible with schedules and always runs on time which is something I really appreciate.
Jon has helped me stay in shape (and look good in several bridesmaid dresses) in the past year, he’s an all around great trainer!

Jon is the BEST! He whipped me into great shape for my wedding, and has helped me keep in shape since, taking into account the reality of my life. He even helped me start running again, after 6 years’ hiatus due to debilitating knee pain. He’s also really personable – working out with him feels like hanging out with a friend… but one who really knows his stuff and is not afraid to bust your butt!

I started working with Jon back in the Spring of 2008 and back then my main concern was feeling so out of shape and the intermittent sharp pain in my knees. I had no prior knee injuries that was causing the discomfort.
Jon developed a progressive training regimen for me that focused on my needs and goals. This also included a meal log that I would show him on a weekly basis.
As years went on, he has developed a progressive workout regimen for me and I find that we are mixing it up now. Motivation and commitment is key.
Since then I have added other new activities in my life to live a healthy lifestyle including watching what I eat. It’s an ongoing process and I know I still have ways to go but it would have been directionless without Jon’s help and expertise.
I want to end by saying that, at one point in your life you stop feeling sorry for yourself and start doing something about it. Thank you Jon!

One word — amazing! My husband and I have been working with Jon for past 6 months. Both of us have different goals and Jon has been extremely considerate of this fact. Jon understands the science behind fitness which helps provide results faster.
Jon is extremely personable and a delight to work with. He motivates you in the right way and helps you build strength over time.
Jon has also been very careful about switching up the routine to provide you with the best results as you build the strength and muscle. It has been an extremely amazing experience to work with him to achieve our goals. Both my husband and I were not morning people but we look forward to our morning workouts with Jon!

Jon Ly completely transformed my life! I was getting over some health problems when I first went to him, and have never been much of a fitness buff. He shakes up the routine and tailors it to what you need to make fast improvements. He really is the most informed person I know in fitness — he is always reading up on the latest science or attending conferences.
Aside from Jon’s expertise, he is so personable and such a pleasure to work with. Even when I have bad days, am a little hungover, or didn’t get any sleep the night before, I am always stoked to see Jon because he has a positive (non-​judgmental!) attitude, and a great sense of humor.
Highly recommended.

I’ve been working with Jon for over two years. At first my fitness goals were «stop being such a total slob» — about as basic as it gets. We worked slowly and steadily to get me to a base level of fitness. Then when I was ready to start improving strength and endurance — and maybe add a little size — Jon switched up my workouts and we’ve made great progress.
He has a really good eye for proper form, and his suggestions for adjustments invariably result in a better exercise. He can also tell how hard you are actually working, and when I am slacking he pushes me just the right amount. Additionally, in the past I have experienced work-​related muscle soreness and strain, and I was able to work with Jon not just to avoid aggravating those injuries but to improve their condition.
Jon’s attitude is great, he doesn’t fake enthusiasm and is very genuine and professional. I really enjoy our workouts. Thumbs up all the way!

A little over a year ago I decided to finally get serious about losing weight. I never considered it before, but a personal trainer seemed to be the way for me to go. I’ve joined gyms in the past, but seldom showed up and when I did I never pushed myself.
Enter Jonathan. Over the weeks, with his guidance, I was working harder than I ever would have on my own. Seeing the progression and how the exercises gradually got easier, I became addicted and looked forward to the sessions.
Jonathan can tailor your routine to a specific goal. Once, I was preparing for a 5 day backpack — something I’ve never done before. I tell Jonathan this, next thing I know, he has me going through the whole routine as before, but this time with a 40 lb weighted jacket to simulate a loaded backpack! I also have knee problems, so he took me out to a nearby park and watched how I walked, then showed me how I was exacerbating the problem by favoring my other leg. Every session afterwards, he kept on me until I unlearned my bad habits.
After 10 months of Jonathan’s guidance, I was 70 pounds lighter and standing on top of the highest mountain in California.
I cannot recommend him enough!

I have been going to Jon for 5 months. While it initially started as a means to prepare for my wedding this summer, I can honestly say that Jon has changed my life and I cannot imagine not training with him. He is easily accessible, responsive and flexible with my busy schedule. In session, Jon is tough when he needs to be but also understanding. It is difficult to find a trainer that is both professional and personable; Jon is both. He does his homework and is constantly keeping up on new methods, exercises and equipment for training his clients. He listens to your needs and develops a plan that works! I have definitely seen results working out with Jon — both physically and mentally — and have recommended him to my fiancé and friends. I recommend Jon and his training whole-​heartedly — it will make a positive impact and could change your life too!

I’ve worked with four different trainers over the last 10 years and by far Jon has been the best. He keeps my fitness goals in mind and he knows how to push me just enough. Most importantly, he continually mixes it up so I don’t get bored. I’ve been training with Jon for about 4 years now and I still look forward to every workout!
BTW, I noticed that Unilocal asks if this business is good for kids. Two thoughts on that. (a) Probably, depending on the age/​maturity of the kid.
(b) I’ve had to bring my daughter with me a few different times and Jon was always happy to «train» her or more often than not, he’d have her help to train me! (Jon would tell me to do a set of 10 and she’d say, «Make it 15!» ;-)

I’ve been working with Jon off and on since 2008 and every time I step into the gym with him he inspires me to do better. His personal story of being a chubby kid is something I can very much relate to as I was and continue to be a chubby «kid». My primary goals this year are to lose weight and get a lot stronger, and to achieve that end Jon provides a structured but varied framework which keeps my workouts interesting and the burn continuing long after they are over. I’m hopeful that 2013 will be the year I finally have the mentai disciplin to carry things through and with Jon’s help I have a good shot at achieving my goals.

I’ve been working with Jon since 2007. I wanted to increase my fitness level, and work on some lower back pain I was having. He and I worked on a program to get me into better shape and to keep me there. He is a great motivator, pushing me beyond my current limits.

I’ve worked with a variety of trainers over the years and Jon is hands down the best. He is knowledgeable and thoughtful and pushes me the exact right amount. With his help I was able to lose 40lbs in 5 months. He is a wonderful listener and designs the right workouts for your body and your goals. I highly recommend Jon to anyone who wants to find a smart, collaborative partner to help them on their fitness journey.

Jon is an excellent, patient, creative, committed, attentive trainer. I’m pushing 60 and without a doubt in the best shape of my life, thanks to Jon.

I’ve been training with Jon for the last year, and I am very happy with my results. Jon provides a varied and interesting program every time I see him. He is good with special issues, very aware of injuries, and totally customizes your program for your special needs. I’ve been battling a sore knee for ages, through Jon’s attention to my knee it has made great progress. Count on him for strength training, sculpting, weight loss, boxing and aerobics.
