Review for Johnny
Johnny has really helped me get back into a good fitness routine. I have seen gradual improvements in my overall fitness level and have added additional workouts that I would not likely want to do on my own. Johnny has a great temperament and keeps the sessions light and has been really flexible working around my schedule and family commitments. Overall great experience.
