During his time at Gold’s Gym, John earned the respect of his colleagues and became the Fitness Director and Supervisor.

In 2004, John joined the YMCA as a Wellness Director and supervised his fitness staff while developing many fitness programs for the community based membership. Two years later, John would become a Program Director for a corporate company and run the company owned fitness center. Here, John worked with many sedentary desk workers that suffered ailing back pain, neck pain, and were overweight. John designed ergonomic programs, walking programs, and exercise programs to facilitate a healthier lifestyle for their employees. In 2007, John obtained his fourth certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) as a performance enhancement specialist.

For the last three years, John has worked with the general population focusing on fat loss, gaining higher strength levels, and improving functionality and performance.
