Jon Hester

"I started working out with Jon during a difficult pregnancy where I had no idea how to alter my workouts to suit the level of restrictions I had.  Jon taught me how to workout effectively without overextending my body, which I am still able to do to this day.  He also was instrumental in teaching me how to gain back my strength post partum and feel like myself again.  His sessions are challenging and relaxing. I highly recommend working with him :) he truly works with someone based on their level and needs." - Abby R.

In 2006, Jon began his health journey. Through diet and exercise, he lost a total of 80 lbs and has since maintained his weight loss.

Jon originally began his professional career as an educator. In 2019 he decided to make a career change to inspire others with his body transformation story and assist others in their weight loss journey through making simple and effective changes in their physical activity and eating habits.

In 2020, Jon became a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and a holistic health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Jon is most passionate about helping busy parents lose weight, gain energy, and improve their confidence.
