Tymek lost 15 lbs in 8 weeks!
I reached out to John after many unsuccessful attempts at trying to get better control over my body composition. He laid it out in simple terms that if I wanted to lose weight, it was simply about controlling calories in vs. calories out. The theory was there and I knew what I had to do, but I was having trouble finding what worked for me. Sharing my struggles with John, he worked with me over the span of three months, readjusting macros and workouts almost on a weekly basis to optimize results and help me reach my goal. He showed genuine happiness seeing me progress and kept me motivated through continuous positive reinforcement and encouragement. John helped me lose 15 pounds and got me in the best shape of my life, and what I learned throughout my time with John will stick with me much longer than my lean body. He taught the importance of portion control and eating quality foods, which gave me more energy during the day, all while not feeling bloated or sluggish after a meal. I had heard it a million times before, but putting it into action and seeing the results almost immediately changed my entire perspective on food. John is incredibly passionate about sharing his knowledge and helping his clients, and I want to thank him for guiding me in the right direction! -Tymek
Shelly is down 22 lbs!
"For many years I tried to achieve my weight loss goals to little success. I decided to work with John and BOOM in 3.5 months I was able to make a massive transformation in my life and achieve weight loss beyond what I thought possible. The experience transcends physical appearance: I’ve gained so much confidence, have more energy and am so much happier! John’s approach to nutrition is disciplined and yet surprisingly robust which will be the key to developing good habits and making this lifestyle sustainable. If you have a fitness or weight loss goal you’re trying to achieve, having this guy in your corner is invaluable!"-Shelly
Jackie lost 20 pounds in 8 weeks!
"Working with John has been awesome to say the least. You can tell John is passionate about what he does and it truly comes off in such a genuine form. He made it easy and fool proof to lose the weight. He was always there for me when I needed support and believed in me. I feel great knowing I always have John in my corner and he will always be my go to guy throughout my fitness journey"- Jackie
Eric lost 20 in 6 weeks!
"When I signed up with John, I was a complete newcomer to strength training and fitness in general. I had tried to learn about it in the past, but I found it hard to find what was solid advice and what was the latest scam. All I wanted was for someone experienced to tell me what I needed to do to succeed: what exercises to do, and what to eat.
John interviewed me and got a feel for what kind of fitness goals I had in mind and through that, prepared an entire package of documents tailored to my needs. More than that though was the way he opened himself to any questions I had about nutrition and fitness. I got the simple guidance I wanted, but I was also able to learn a lot for myself to form the building blocks of a healthy lifestyle. On top of this, John made sure to keep me motivated with frequent check ins, weigh ins and motivational messages.
Through his macro-nutrient and workout program and meal plan, I was able to lose 20 pounds in the span of just a month and a half. More important than that is the fact I've been able to keep it off thanks to the lasting knowledge he left me with."- Eric
Saira lost 10 lbs and gained muscle & strength in 8 weeks!
"Not knowing exactly how to attack weight training I needed some guidance if I was ever going to maximize my time at the gym and achieve the results I'm striving for.
Jon developed an 8 week customized workout plan for me, tailored specifically to my fitness level, access to equipment and goals. I found the plan was almost equivalent to working out with a personal trainer at the gym! If every I had a question or needed some extra guidance Jon was available and eager to help. Now into my second round, the results speak for themselves and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Jon's coaching to everyone looking to take their fitness journey to the next level." -Saira
Dayan lost 15 lbs in 8 weeks!
"I hired Jon after I had lost 25 pounds and got stuck at 170. No matter what I did I couldn't go below that number. I realized Jon did personal coaching from his instagram and youtube account. What attracted me to Jon was his no-nonsense approach. Jon doesn't accept excuses, he only accepts results. I realized right away Jon was a choleric type of personality; the type that doesn't give up, take excuses or backs off just because the client believes they can't. So I hired him right away. After all, im pretty hardcore myself and needed someone just as hardcore as me and he fit the bill. Jon never missed a day and checked in with me every other day. First thing he did was have me take pictures and download the MyFitnessPal app. That app is amazing (but that's another story)! Next, Jon never told me what to eat, he allowed me to learn from the app; where I was going wrong and be responsible with my food choices. Next he had me weigh-in twice a week and keep a track of it. He also had me meet benchmarks for my body type and issues. Like not eating after 5pm, doing a certain number of workouts a week and keeping my calorie count below a certain number to see results. I never once felt tired, or strained. He made sure that I kept pushing myself. And yes my friends... he would surprise me at times and ask me to hand over my phone so he could check what I was eating/tracking on my fitness app. Yeah, that's when crap gets real cause you know he'll catch you if you're trying to lie to yourself! One thing I really liked about Jon was that he always put the responsibility on me. It was me and only me who could help myself. While a coach is there to guide you, but the client needs to learn to do all the work to get the results. Sure enough in one month I lost 9 pounds and moved to 160.
I would recommend Jon in a heart beat to anyone! I can see based on pictures, the results and im still working towards my goal of 130 despite my personal set backs that occurred this year. Im now between 155-160. I still haven't slipped back to my previous weight of 200 (and I won't) because Jon really gave me the tools and mindset I needed to keep going. Im grateful to him more than he will ever know!"-Dayana
Mario lost 30 lbs in 5 months!
"Being an over 50 year old male with difficulties trying to lose weight I was short on answers. Until I turned to Jonathan. He guided me thorough a cardio routine and a weight lifting routine along with a very simple eating plan. I was sceptical at first but I followed all his instructions religiously. After about 6 months I had lost 30 pounds and the best thing is that despite my love of eating I have been able to keep the weight off.
Working with Jonathan has been a breath of fresh air. His knowledge and dedication to his profession is second to none. Take it from someone that's been through more than a couple of "personal trainers". I believe those were not "personal trainers" now that I have worked with Jonathan" -Mario
Devin lost 10 lbs in 1 month and got leaner!
A year and a half a go I was kick out of Purdue University. Fell into a deep depression and became extremely sick and lazy all the time. I then started listening to a man named Eric Thomas who saved my life. I found a way to channel my negative thoughts and used that energy to transform my body into the way I wanted it to look. Then, about a month ago, I started to reach a glass ceiling. I kept working harder, tried eating more... I just wasn’t seeing the results I wanted. I didn’t have any real knowledge of nutrition or healthy eating habits. Then everything changed when I met Jonathan. You see, I wanted a healthy alternative to burning fat, willing still being about to eat. I’ve never been into taking metabolism boosters or fat burner pills or anything close to that. I tried them yes .. but they just made me feel extremely hyper and they made me burn fat .. but within a week to two weeks later. I noticed. That I was right back to where I started. With Jonathan’s meal plans I’ve been slowing reaching my goal of 200lbs of lean muscle. The fist image is me at about 182.3lbs. The next one is me at 191.5lbs. The change is AMAZINGLY different. I feel better and eating things that are bad for me actually taste awful. Jonathan has tricked my body into craving what’s good for it at the right times. Thank you for showing me the light that the end of the tunnel to reach my goalsππΎ.
Jessica lost 25 pounds in 10 weeks!
I found myself in a bad spot, and I decided I had had enough. I had let myself go. I realized that I needed the right guidance to improve my habits, and learn how to make my body change and improve my health. I reached out to Beyond The Iron . for their coaching services, and I had no idea that my life was about to change. The seamless process saw me getting results FAST, and more importantly, taught me more about nutrition and my body than I ever even thought possible. The result? You see the pictures... and I am excited to see how much further I can go. Thank you to the Beyond The Iron team for helping me through constructing my newfound health habits and guiding me to be the best version of myself. Excited to keep going! If you're on the fence about who to go to to help you achieve the results you're looking for AND THEN SOME, these are the guys.
Karla lost 35 lbs in 3 months!
In looking back to where I was when I started … for me it was a time of contemplation, questioning, frustration and just wanting more. I wanted to start being actively involved in understanding how to better my health overall, not just ‘lose weight’. Yes, ultimately my goal was to lose weight and look better but really I wanted to be more active in understanding what I could to do to be more healthy and mindful of my body. I never realized how taking that very first step with John would change my world and shake it to its core.
At first I was a nervous and anxious about making such a commitment but I knew that I needed to do this if I wanted to move forward. Working with John was totally different than what I had been doing up until this point. I needed that coaching, I needed that guidance, and I needed that person to teach me about how to make it all work. Getting connected with John eased my worries, made me feel confident in what I was about to do, because he and I both new that exercise alone was not cutting it. John listened to me and heard my story, and what my overall goals were and where I wanted to be. He was insistent that he could teach me all the tools I would need to make “gainz” and reach my goals. Boy was he right! John is amazing, reliable, offered regular check-ins, encouragement, tons of support, and getting me to really push my limits with exercise and food. John has a deep understanding of all things health related and set me up in a way that really helped me apply it in my everyday life and experience success.
John and I have been working together now since January and I couldn’t be more excited and confident with myself. Not only have I lost weight and inches, but gained a lifetime of tools and knowledge which have grounded me and changed totally how I approach overall health in my life. I have built new exercise habits, I eat a lot different, I use tools that support my weight loss, and I have an amazing person cheering me on. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds! Thank you for all you do and all you have given me, you’re truly a blessing in my life!! -K
Jon's 4 year transformation! (BTI Founder)
Growing up, I was always a skinny kid. I would constantly workout and hit the gym, but to little gain. At 18 years old, I became determined to put on as much muscle/weight as I could and transform my body. It's been a long journey, but along the way I became more and more intrigued as to how much you can transform your body when you have the desire and the RIGHT information to do so. My journey has continued ever since and I can now control my body composition at will. Not an easy feat, one that took years of formal education, self education, self experimentation, working with hundreds of people, but now I can confidently say I can help you transform your body AND your life forever, as I did my own.
