“Working with Iain after my ACL replacement surgery completely changed my recovery journey. When I started, I couldn't run, and the idea of returning to professional sports felt impossible. Iain met me exactly where I was and worked to build my strength and confidence across every stage of my rehab. His dynamism and range is incredible. He always had a backup plan ready when different exercises were painful or not working, and was able to effectively guide me on strength training, plyometrics, diet, and cardiovascular endurance training. Beyond his expertise, his patience and genuine kindness made all the difference. He celebrated every small win with me and never let me lose sight of my goals even when they were very distant. Because of Iain's guidance, I didn't just recover from my ACL replacement, I was able to complete my dream of playing professional sports again. I honestly don't think I'd be where I am today without him.”

“Iain’s training expertise has fundamentally changed the way I approach both my strength goals and my longevity as an athlete. Before we began working together, I was in a vicious cycle of rehabilitating my lower back. Iain attacked my injury from all angles. He was immediately able to assess technical flaws in my back squat, flaws that appeared minor but, in hindsight, were contributing heavily to my discomfort. He was surgical in his approach to navigating flare-ups, utilizing programming changes and rehabilitation drills to get me back into shape. After only a few months of working with him, I was moving pain free. He has continued to coach me for the last three years, and although I have had setbacks, each time he has had no problem guiding me back into the strongest version of myself.”

“When I was diagnosed with a chronic disease, my doctor recommended that I immediately begin strength training to keep my muscles active and build as much strength as possible during the progression of the disease. John listened to my condition and devised programs that were tailored the progressive issues I was facing, as well as setting me up to be able to continue training on my own. John’s guidance and work in the gym helped me to perfect my form and surprise my physical therapist, and I continue to use his training practices to keep my health up. John wasn’t just a trainer though - he was a part of my support network. He wasn’t just training me physically, but teaching me the mentality needed to fight back against my disease. Knowing this, I continue to train and fight each day for as much strength as possible, and it’s people like John who help me to continue forward on my darkest days.”

“John helped me build myself up and restore my confidence in my physical health. When I started working with John, I  had a simple goal trying to look fit for an event a few months out, but grew to enhance my understanding of fitness and build on my aesthetic goals. His programming and knowledge of athletic training techniques utilized my history of long distance running to build programs that incorporate the kind of training that I love with the training I had been neglecting, making working out a hobby I’ve quickly grown to love. Additionally, he is always quick to respond and engage when needed to get my program and training back on track, and his enthusiasm and supportive attitude keep me engaged with the gym. I am grateful to have John as both a coach and friend.”
