-"Working out with Jonathan gave me a completely new perspective on physical fitness. I am a certified personal trainer but decided to work with Jonathan to help me train for a Figure competition.He not only kept me motivated and pushed me to be my best, he also taught me a style of training that goes beyond textbook, he has a remarkable knowledge of the human body and how to train it in the most effective and efficient way possible. I placed first at my very first regional level figure competition and Jonathan is now helping me train for Nationals... need I say more?

-"Several years ago I made an important decision that dramatically changed my life. That decision was choosing Jonathan Uphoff as my personal trainer to help me reach my lifetime desire of wanting to be much more muscular. This was even further complicated by my lack of working out for a number of years after a back injury that finally resulted in back surgery. The biggest hurdle in my mind was that I had waited until I was 48 years old to finally get serious again.

Jonathan's expertise was very obvious from the first day. He listened to my goals and explained that I definitely could reach my goals but not without lots of hard work, diet and persistence. Over the next few weeks we worked on proper technique in lifting and keeping the core tight during all routines. We continued the process gradually increasing the intensity and complexity and today I cannot believe the transformation that has occurred in my body. I have reduced my body fat by 25% yet I have increased my weight from 220 lbs to over 250 lbs today (I am 6'4") and believe me this weight increase is not fat-we are talking muscle! My strength has increased to an unbelievable lifetime high and I am lifting maximums much higher than when I was in my 20's and 30's! I cannot even begin to write down what this has done for my attitude, confidence and ego at a time when most of my friends are overweight, out of shape, and depressed about turning 50. I am constantly getting compliments at the gym, at my office and from friends, family, clients and strangers! Jonathan always says it is the result of my hard work that has resulted in my new body but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that his constant guidance, coaching, training, insistence on pushing further and harder, encouragement and praise has resulted in me achieving my first main goal! Whether you are trying to lose weight and get in shape or gain muscle, Jonathan Uphoff knows his stuff. Thank you Jonathan for having such a dramatic, positive impact on my life!"

-"Jonathan is a personal trainer with whom I have worked with since last June. During the last year, he has consistently demonstrated to me a total grasp of all of the intricacies and interconnections between weight training, anatomy, nutrition, psychology, and motivation. He is thoroughly knowledgeable about his profession in general and, more importantly in my opinion, keenly intuitive about the individual needs and requirements of each of his clients. He is helpful and available almost to a fault. On more than one occasion he has extended himself in order to help me attain a goal, or to progress in my training. Recently, my college-aged daughters began training with him, and they too were amazed at his expertise, patience, and helpfulness. I will forever be grateful that I had the opportunity of working with this wonderful young man.

-"As a client of Jonathan's for over 1 1/2 years, I am more than delighted to have this opportunity to recommend him as a superior personal trainer. Jonathan has a rare mix of knowledge, professionalism, and sincerity.

He has been the catalyst that had lead to a true life-changing experience for me. Because of Jonathan's talent to keep me focused and challenged with his sincere encouragement, I have achieved a level of fitness I never thought possible! After 4 months of working out three times a week with Jonathan, my bodyweight decreased from 160 pounds to 140 pounds. While achieving solid muscle definition, I lost over 16 inches and went from a size 12 to a size 7. I could not have done this without the driving force of Jonathan's professional training. Jonathan is extremely talented in what he does. He is not only innovative, but very creative as well. He has constantly challenged me with new approaches and has taught me to love to workout. One more very important point. Jonathan is a person of the utmost integrity. He has the rare ability to be freindly,caring, and a real joy to workout with while always remaining a true professional. It is obvious he loves what he does and shows it with a 100% commitment to his clients and profession."

-"I am writing this letter as a personal recommendation for Jonathan Uphoff. I am a member at the gym where he works. He is the third personal trainer I have used and until I worked with him, I would not recommend personal trainers to anyone.

Jonathan really seems to care about his individual clients. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of personal training and educating his clients on the importance of nurtition. He has always been extremely dependable and is always willing to help."
