Jon has a passion for sports and fitness that doesn’t quit. He grew up a 3-sport athlete, became a Super League (elite league in the USA) rugby sensation, and won a bronze medal at the USA Track Cycling elite championship. Unfortunately, a tragic rugby accident left Jon paralyzed on the field for 30 minutes, ultimately ending his career in competitive sports. Jon now brings his unique experience and knowledge to better his students. Specializing in sports performance and strength, Jon greatly emphasizes proper movement mechanics because he knows first-hand it’s importance in reducing the risk of injury.
