Client testimonials: meet some of Jason's clients!

Jason,

 I tried another more "nationally recognized" program to lose fat and gain muscle before enlisting your help, and that program was a true waste of time compared to the results I got from yours.  You designed a program tailored specifically to my needs, not a cookie cutter one many trainers provide.  Not everyone is the same, nor do they respond the same way, and you understand this.  You stayed intuned to how my body was reacting to the program you designed and made adjustments when needed, as you did on 4 separate occasions during the course of my 8 weeks of training.  The numbers really say it all as I lost 9 lbs., my waist went from 35" to 32", and my BF went from 15% to 4.9%.  Furthermore, my interaction with you has given me the necessary knowledge that will enable me to continue living a healthy lifestyle.  I would recommend you to anyone without hesitation, although you should provide a disclaimer stating that anyone who follows your program will have to buy new clothes because the current ones will no longer fit.
 
Thanks for everything and I looking forward to training with you further,
 
Anthony

Jason is the best trainer I have ever worked with. He knows how to get me in top shape without bulking me up, and he knows exactly how to pinpoint specific areas.

Believe it or not, this photo is of me at 50! I have been training and consulting with Jason for the last 10 years. I'm in better shape, stronger, healthier, and I look better than I did at 25! Jason always has an answer to my questions and keeps my workout schedule innovative and fun. Jason really knows his stuff!

I always look forward to my training sessions with Jason. No matter how I feel when I enter the gym, I always have a great workout and leave feeling great. Jason has helped me to become bigger and stronger than I ever thought possible. I had found it extremely difficult to gain muscle mass, but Jason seems to be able to push me that extra bit that I needed to get the results I was looking for. Jason has always been very professional in every conceivable way: his knowledge, punctuality, attention to detail, and his ability to develop my weak areas. Jason always keeps up with the latest news in nutrition and supplements, and has always made his program work for me.

In a panic over an upcoming trip to Cancun I started training with Jason. Now, 7 weeks later, I am amazed at how quickly the weight, and more importantly, the inches have come off.  Jason knows how to focus on those "problem areas" as well as getting the whole body balanced and toned.  I have trouble with my knees and lower back and Jason was always sure to modify exercises and be mindful of not aggravating old injuries.  I feel fit, strong and finally comfortable in my own body. My only complaint is now I have to buy a whole new wardrobe!

Thanks Jason!

I'm the kind of woman that needs to be inspired to work out.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it, but having someone knowledgeable, fun and who knows how to
get me to get the most out of my workout time is what gets me going. That's why I started training with Jason Kozma.  I watched how he trained other men
and women at the gym and I knew instantly that his genuine concern for his client's individual health and fitness needs and his sense of humor was just
what I needed in a trainer. Jason gave me personalized advice on nutrition and gave me specific exercises to fit my needs.

Working out with Jason has made me more conscious of how I treat my body.  I have incorporated a much healthier, low fat diet into my lifestyle that Jason personally created for me to lean out and stay lean.  His workout's have given my body more definition than I have ever had and I feel so much better about myself.

I recently got married and let Jason know that I wanted to achieve the firmest, sexiest body possible for my wedding and honeymoon.  After 3 months
of consistent training and a low fat healthy diet, he helped me to achieve that goal.  I will continue to work out with him because when I do, I know I am in good hands with a total professional.

Six months ago, I discovered Jason's site and signed up for a 3-month package, hoping to lose a pesky 10 pounds that haven't budged for years in spite of my daily cardiovascular workouts (cycling, running and competitive tennis).  I've always disliked gym workouts and knew I wouldn't stick with a program unless I had an inspiring, caring trainer
keeping me honest. Jason is that and more: not only is he the best, most committed personal trainer I've witnessed, but his program got those 10 pounds off my body in the promised 3 months! Additionally, my fitness and energy levels were boosted in time for a grueling book tour that
required traveling among 9 cities in 2 weeks. I'm sold on Jason's programs and can't imagine my life without them now.

I've had an opportunity to train with 5 different trainers across the  country, in Washington D.C., New York, Denver and Los Angeles, and let me honestly tell you, it's only since I've worked with Jason that I've seen  this tremendous progress. In just five weeks I've put on 17 pounds.  I've had to go out and buy new clothes having literally ripped out of my old shirts.                                                                    Jason is the only trainer I'm aware of who not only customizes my training and nutrition to my specific needs and goals but also to how my body is changing and responding to training. Each workout is different,  and each workout brings results you can see. Jason's ability to adapt my  workout and nutrition to my changing needs means continued progress too.

If you ever hope to achieve the goals you have in the way you look, whatever those individual goals may be, you owe it to yourself to work with Jason. You will see results. I stake my reputation on it.

P.S. Jason ,I had to write to tell you of something that just happened.

I've been training with you for just a month and this past weekend I walked into my old gym. Another trainer there came over and couldn't believe it was me. He actually hadn't recognized me at first. He remarked at how much bigger I had become and actually wanted to know what I was on! Well, I'd be the first to admit a 13 pound gain in just a month looks 'suspicious', but all it took was consistently training with you and following exactly the nutrition program you put me on. No drugs, just my willingness to follow what you tell me to do. And to tell you the truth, I've actually ripped out of three shirts so far. I haven't seen gains like this in a long time and it feels great! Thanks a lot!

David DiFrancesco

It seemed that no matter how hard I exercised or dieted, I never seemed to look the way I wanted to. One afternoon, I noticed that my neighbor (who had 2 small children) looked wonderful. She looked so trim and fit. I commented on how great she looked, and she told me about her personal trainer, Jason Kozma. I had known other friends that had personal trainers and I never saw much difference in their appearance. Seeing such a dramatic change in my neighbor's appearance in such a short period of time, I decided to take the next step.

I am a 48 year old mother of three children. I gave myself and Jason Kozma the ultimate challenge. I had 6 weeks until our family Hawaiian summer vacation, and I wanted to wear a bikini! We did it! With Jason's professional guidance and constant encouragement, my personal dream came true! I have decided that I am going to continue with Jason Kozma's personal training so that I may continue being fit, and build my stamina to make my everyday work easier on my body. I want to continue living my dream.

My husband was so impressed with my incredible transformation, he decided to do something about his health and appearance. He also decided to train with Jason. He feels much healthier and fit, and he looks really good too! This is the best thing we have done for ourselves. We made the investment in our health and our bodies for our family and ourselves.

Thank you Jason, for your incredible expertise!

Paulette, Wife, Mother, Massage Therapist

After a highly frustrating, prolonged 3 1/2 month fitness plateau and the inability of three different personal trainers and a registered nutritionist to get me back on track to achieve the results I desired, I came across Jason’s website while researching solutions to my dilemma. Jason’s fitness philosophy seemed to good to be true.

Still skeptical but with an attitude of “nothing ventured, nothing gained”, I booked an LA Body session with him. From the get-go Jason was extremely confident that his individually tailored nutritional plan and fitness workout would get results. Well….. words are one thing, tangible results are another and 2 1/2 months later I’ve lost 18 pounds and 11 1/2 inches.

I believe in Jason’s ability to read the body and trust in his knowledge to come up with a healthy formula to transform it accordingly.  OK Jason, it seems you DO rule!!

Joanne

"Training with Jason Kozma not only changed the way my body looked, it changed the whole way I viewed food and exercise.  I was amazed at how quickly my body went from squidgy to firm.  I learned how to get the most out of my time spent working out and how to combine foods for optimum health and energy.  At 30, I'm happier and healthier than I ever was in my 20's! 
  Jason sees each person's individuality and tailors the workouts accordingly.
  If you've always wanted to change your bad eating and exercise habits but haven't know how to, stop procrastinating and spend some time training with Jason.  You won't be disappointed!"

Dear Jason, When my neighbor Paulette recommended you as her personal trainer, I was turned off by my previous experience with a trainer I had in the recent past. She had thin legs and had me do her own workout consisting of thigh building exercises which were only further thickening my legs.

Your no - nonsense approach to improving my body was just what I needed. No more bulking exercises, but a unique workout designed to suit my body. My husband has been one of your strongest supporters, because he has seen the way you have sculpted my body for the better.

Jason, you are an artist when it comes to sculpting bodies, both male and female. You customize the workout to the clients needs and manage to keep it fun and interesting. I would highly recommend you to anyone who is serious about starting a workout program where results are inevitable.

With much appreciation,

Delaney; Mother, Gourmet chef

I train with Jason because he is, hands down, the best trainer I've ever worked with, and I've trained with plenty.  Jason is the bomb!

Amber - neuromuscular massage therapist, personal trainer

After gaining almost 50 pounds while pregnant with my son, I didn’t think I would ever see a size 6 again.  I worked out occasionally, but didn’t really have a program to follow or know where to begin to lose the weight.  About the time I really decided to do something about my appearance, someone told my husband about Jason’s program and he began doing it.  His program looked easy enough to follow and after a few weeks of seeing his results, I gave it a try.  Jason developed a program that enabled me to lose the weight where I needed to and quickly.  Seeing the results happen so fast gave me the motivation I needed to continue.  I can’t tell you how exciting it was to put on pants that I thought I would never fit into again!  Now I have the body and the confidence to fulfill one of my life-long dreams – trying out to be a cheerleader for an NFL team.  Jason even changed my program to help me achieve that goal in a few short months.  I can’t thank you enough Jason.  You are a genius!!!

I like to choose my trainers carefully and, to this end, spent a great deal of time carefully watching the trainers in my gym from afar. What made Jason stand out from the rest was his absolute dedication to his job. Fitness training is a clearly a vocation for Jason, and he is absolutely committed to every one of his numerous clients. Working with him has given me new insight, motivation and, let's not forget, tone! I saw changes in my body after just two weeks, and continue to do so. Jace is ace! You should feel lucky to work with him. I do.

Of course, the changes in my physical appearance were really impressive, and that boosted my confidence enormously. I really learned about working out safely and how to make my overall lifestyle more healthy -- better nutrition and vitamins, proper rest, etc. Jason provided me with motivation to stay in shape, and a program I have successfully continued with on my own, both comfortably and effectively, until each time I'm ready to see him again and move up to the next level!

Jason really customized the program to me. I had worked out with other people who just gave me the same blah-blah they give everyone else, and then stood there during the workout, bored, just counting reps. Jason worked with me to design a workout that would not only NOT aggravate old injuries (bad back, chronic knee and ankle problems, etc.), but in fact has helped reduce the symptoms of the past injuries (one of which was even caused by another, "Brand-X" trainer -- beware of all those guys out there who don't know what they're doing!). Jason maintains high energy and motivational talk during the workout, so when I exercise on my own I can picture what Jason would say to me, and that keeps me going.

Jason also makes very sure that I know EXACTLY how the exercise is done properly, so I can do it right and get the maximum benefit from each rep. I've never had next-day aching or soreness in training with Jason, even though the workouts are tough enough to make me sweat a TON each session!

Jason gave me the exercises I need to make my body look the way I want it to look, and very quickly. I went from a size 11 to a size 5 in about 4 months, with a loss of 20 pounds of fat (including getting rid of some really ugly "saddlebags" on my thighs) and a gain of a lot of hot-looking muscle!

Then, a year later, when I had had a little too much food fun in the form of holiday eating, Jason got me back to those size 5s in just over one month -- WOW! 

And, when the going gets rough, Jason makes me laugh, which keeps me committed to working out -- who knew that a killer exercise routine could not only get the job done, but also be FUN?!

You gotta train with Jason Kozma!

Very truly yours,

Carol Goldstein, Filmmaker

Jason Kozma began training me for my wedding in January of 2001, I was skeptical that I would see results (if any) from prior fitness experiences. However, I would quickly be proven wrong! Jason is not only a talented and knowledgeable trainer, he is fun, energetic and surprisingly humorous. These qualities make it close to impossible to fail meeting your goals!

Originally, my goal was for my July wedding. Much to my surprise, I passed my goals within 2 months! I have never felt more beautiful and confident in my life. I am fortunate to have found Jason before my wedding, I have pictures I will treasure forever. 

Jason is a trainer I recommend to everyone who is serious about reaching your fitness goals!


Susan McLeod

Jason is a brilliant trainer; he not only helped me with weight loss, which I thought was the only thing I needed to work on, but the finer points of "physique management" like keeping the muscles toned and tight, shaping the body effectively with weights without bulking me up and his dietary knowledge is far greater than anyone I have ever met before.

Laurel, Mother, Nurse Practitioner

Training with Jason has taught me not just what exercises to do but how to make sure I do them correctly. He not only makes sure that you are on the correct overall workout, but he also knows the small details, such as grip and stance, that can make a big difference. As a result, I feel better both psychologically and physically. More importantly, Jason takes the guesswork out of working out and provides motivation. I have worked out with other trainers and what makes Jason unique is his ability to tailor an appropriate workout for different clients. Not everyone's body is the same and Jason's appreciation of this allows his clients to see maximum gains.

Eric Grossman, Writer

Jason Kozma's training sessions are tough, demanding, brutal and EVERYTHING my body needs! Jason knows and understands the muscles; how they react and respond to weight training. 

Most trainers train a client the way they train themselves, regardless of that clients specific needs. Jason sat with me before our sessions began to discuss my particular and individual goals. With these goals in mind, he set up a personal, tailored program to achieve maximum benefits for my body type.

I have a back and neck problem and we have been able to successfully work around it while still focusing on the muscles and areas that need strengthening without damaging my back.

Other trainers have ignored my pleas for a varied fitness routine, or alternate exercises with respect to my neck & back issues. This would only frustrate me and cause more discomfort and pain.

I've already lost one dress size and I am starting to feel good about myself again. Jason has helped me integrate working out and diet as a lifestyle. 

Taylor Van Arsdale, Singer, Performer

At age 46, with three young kids, I decided that I needed to change my lifestyle to emphasize longevity. Jason has changed my lackadaisical attitude towards weight training by vigorously motivating me through every workout, along with his expert nutritional advice to assure consistent improvement. I've never felt stronger or healthier in my life! Plus, my kids keep calling me "Buff Bagwell" (I hope that's a good thing)

Thanks, Jason!

Rick Silver, Father, Optometrist

Training with Jason is changing my body and the way I feel about myself. I never thought I could become as strong as I have already, and it feels great. Jason really understands how to start where you are and work up in a way that is both challenging and rewarding. Working out with Jason is an important ingredient in my general well-being, as well as my improved appearance.

Jason : My energy level was very good throughout the week. My workout recovery continues to improve dramatically every week.  My cholesterol was 189 4 months ago. It is now 146. My blood pressure was 122/84 four month ago. It  is now 112/64. My resting heart rate was 75 4 months ago. It is now 51. I'm getting closer to seeing my AB muscles. My waistline is about 30 and will probably end up about 28 to 29  before I see what's under the fat.

Beginning weight and bodyfat 192.5 /13 %:    Ending weight and bodyfat %: 184 /8.4%

Tony: Online training client at week 5 of 8 of online training program

When I started training with Jason, he helped me to change my eating habits.  I eat so much more healthy now and as a result have better muscle definition to show for it and I feel better.  The weight training helped me develop great definition and feel more powerful for my videos and for my photo shoots.  I’ve gotten so many compliments from people in the music business and just friends and family.  Jason absolutely cuts you no slack, but you feel great as a result.  So it’s about feeling more powerful as well as being more powerful.  He’s the man. 

Holly Lamar; singer, songwriter

When I came to Jason I had no clue where to begin.  I knew I wanted to start competing in Fitness Competitions but did not know how to get the results I desired.  At the beginning of my program I was at 23.1% body fat.  Most competitors compete between 10% and 15%.  Not to mention I only had 12 weeks to prepare.  Now don't get me wrong I have always been an active person and ate fairly well for a normal person, but we all know that fitness competitors are far from "normal". 

 
Jason evaluated my goals and and sent me a very easy to follow diet and exercise plan.  He gave me a list of good, acceptable foods and let me know what I needed to eat when.  The best part was how easy it was to follow. I didn't have to worry about counting calories or grams of protein or anything like that.  Every week I turned in my diary and Jason let me know what I needed to change.  It's a lot harder to cheat on your diet when you know you're going to be caught. 
 
Now that my competition is done and over with I have a greater knowledge of my body, training and nutrition.  I have Jason to thank for that.  Even now that I consider myself seasoned I rely on Jason's plan as my base top get me back on track during my off season. 

Emily Kirby, Fitness America Competitor

Jason changed the way I think about my body and about fitness. I did not realize that I could get into such great shape.  I was living a very corporate and sedentary  lifestyle and I had ballooned to 200 pounds and I felt horrible.  I spent 8 weeks working with Jason and it made a huge impact on the way I look and the way I feel.
      I followed the diet very strictly, rode my mountain bike a lot, and worked out with Jason 3 days a week.  My wife says she has a renewed sexual interest in me!  It was the best money I ever spent.    I think anybody that really wants to make a positive change in their life should consider working with Jason.  You will discover strength that you have not felt in years.
