He has a broad understanding of history, life’s unpredictable experiences, and shared observations and desires.
He has become a valued member of my life.
Rosanne Braun:
I don’t think it’s possible to fine a better personal trainer than John Chung. He’s very experienced, and knows exactly what works for me where I am physically,
as well as how to move me forward and stronger. I’ve gained both strength, balance and a greater sense of physical well-being in working with him.
Plus, he is a pleasure to spend time with: pleasant, smiling, thoughtful, creative and personal. We discuss life, books, news, movies, plays, family.
My husband Ed and I are so lucky that he was referred to us!
Shelly Jones:
It is with great pleasure that I recommend Mr. John Chung as a personal trainer/fitness instructor. I have had the privilege of working with him for the past three years at the 92nd Street Y May Center in New York City, where, as his client, I have greatly benefited from his expertise and dedication to my growth and success. John Chung possesses an exceptional combination of skills and qualities that make him a truly effective trainer. For example, his understanding of anatomy and physiology allows him to create personalized workouts tailored to my specific goals and limitations. Also, he is a very patient creative teacher, a good listener, a keen observer and very mindful of the way in which I learn best. As a senior citizen, with some medical/physical challenges, John takes his time to truly understand not only my physical condition, but is also is interested in my social and
emotional well-being. I am truly happy with my progress and look forward to our sessions. Also, we have wonderful conversations during our sessions, sharing some of our life experiences and ideas about the world and history. I feel truly blessed to know John,
who is a compassionate and kind person, as well as a wonderful teacher.
Sue Wang:
After a half-hour free trial, I immediately signed up with John. He struck me as a smart and skillful trainer, very different from my previous experience with another gym where the trainer only tried to push me without much thought. John takes the time to understand his clients’ physical conditions and designs programs that balance challenge with enjoyment, inspiration with consistency, and effort with real results — something I feel confident committing to long term. I've never considered myself a strong person. Nearing retirement age and carrying multiple old injuries, I lacked confidence in my own abilities. John carefully adapts each routine to my condition, preventing injuries while keeping the workouts demanding enough to keep me engaged. I always leave his sessions feeling both accomplished and uplifted. That’s why I continue to sign up for more sessions and plan to train with him for the long run.After nearly two years of training, we’ve also built a great friendship. John is punctual, focused, observant, considerate, and genuinely pleasant to work with. Our conversations flow easily and, far from distracting me, they actually energize me — both mentally and physically.I wholeheartedly recommend John as a trainer for people of all ages.
Neil Fleischer:
John is a fabulous trainer and an even better human being. Working out with John on a regular basis is a gift that I give to myself and an investment in my physical health and wellbeing. He’s a great motivator and teacher. He also reads his clients well, never pushing too hard but always challenging me to do a little more than I had done previously. He’s the perfect trainer for an older client trying to be as healthy as possible. If I could bottle up John’s energy, enthusiasm, kindness, expertise and sense of humor, I’d be a wealthy man! Thank you, John!
John L. Hirsch:
I have been working with John for more than 3 years. I look forward to our workouts. He is professional, kind and full of good energy which strengthens and challenges me.
I always feel stronger after an hour with John.
