“When I started training with Johnny, I had been living for a year with a messed up shoulder – a freak fall which led to four torn rotator cuff tendons, surgery that managed to repair three of them, and rehab therapy that had essentially taken me as far as they thought possible, i.e., about 30 %. I was quite resigned to continuing somewhere near that level.

Johnny’s focus on core strengthening, rather than working only on my shoulder, was very effective, and his selfless approach to both his work and his life  is infectious: you start to believe that you can reach further. I  responded very well to his encouragement – let’s see how far we can take this – and he uses a studied approach to tailor your regimen to what he thinks will work, adding variations and loads to keep it both interesting and challenging. Also, 60 minutes is 60 minutes; you get undivided attention.

There are still things I cannot do, and will probably never be able to, but the overall improvements have been dramatic, because we have been able to teach my shoulder muscles to do new things. So maybe not 100%, but at least 75, which is still more than double where I started

Thanks, Johnny!”

“I’ve had the opportunity of practicing Yoga under Johnny’s guidance. Johnny has helped me tremendously in deepening my practice. From strength and flexibility I’ve noticed great improvements in my body. Given Johnny’s broad background, I have gained great fitness and body health perspective through his guidance. Johnny himself is a great inspiration as he holds a solid yet humble Yoga practice. I am thankful to have the opportunity to practice with Johnny”

“I have had chronic back and shoulder pain for 20 years.  Since working with John 1-2x per week, I have not had any pain – can’t be a coincidence!….Thanks John.”

John is a fantastic personal trainer. I look forward to every work out. In addition to looking better than I ever have, I now count John among my good friends. He inspires me to live in smart and healthy ways.

John O’ Connor worked for several years as a yoga instructor at my center. He re-introduced me and several of my massage therapy clients to yoga. We were a group of beginners that he quickly brought to an intermediate level with his structure and encouragement. His classes were fun and challenging, and we all became limber and relaxed. I have also worked with John as my personal trainer. Working out with John is like working out with your best friend; he will encourage you and push you just the right amount. If you are looking for a great trainer or yoga instructor who will offer you strength, flexibility and balance you don’t need to look any further.
