Started out at 195, currently at 177 and feeling stronger! Definitely can see the definition results. The program offered is at a great price for the service and custom, one-on-one, training you get.

My son passed CFA of service academies with Johnny’s help. He gradually lost 20 lb with Jonny’s suggestion in 3 months and now he looks well. I really appreciate his coaching.

Johnny is incredible. I worked out for years and always thought I knew what I was doing- but I didn’t! Johnny has taught me to use the right muscles at the right time during different exercises. He is able to help you change you position or grip in the slightest way and really make a difference. I feel stronger and have a better understanding of using my muscles because of Johnny’s training. So happy to have found Johnny to help me further my exercise goals! More...

I've been working out with Johnny for about 6 months. After years of injuries, neck pain, and being unable to strengthen my upper body, thanks to Johnny, I am now very different. John focuses on form, posture and stretching so that I can do the weight lifting exercises to strengthen and tone my body. Johnny is awesome, fun and knows exactly what to do everytime I train with him. I highly recommend Johnny of Fuel Your Training, Inc. More...

I've been working out with Johnny ever since I got home from college. When I got home, my brother and parents all looked fantastic, so I decided to give it a go. I'm a few months in now and I'm feeling better than ever. Johnny keeps me motivated both in the gym and outside. He's always looking ahead, yet keeps the pace where it needs to be. The gym is a great facility as well. I see people of varying age and athletic ability everyday. I actually look forward to my workouts with Johnny, as I look and feel better than I ever have before.

My son has been working with Johnny twice a week for the past 6 months and I couldn’t be happier with his progress. Johnny has helped my son with balance, strength, flexibility, coordination, throwing, catching, etc. The initial goal for my son was to “get in shape”, but what he’s achieved is so much more. Thanks to Johnny, my son has greater body space awareness, realizes his body’s capabilities, and has gained greater confidence in himself. The time spent working with Johnny has been far more rewarding for my son than I ever thought it would be. So grateful for all he’s done and continues to do!! More...

I've been working out with Johnny for about six months now and I can see the difference. He does an exceptional job at gauging a person's strength and abilities for a personalized work out-- he pushes you but only to where your body can comfortably go. I've worked out with several trainers in the past that seemed great at first only to find myself developing knee pain or back pain after a couple months, but half a year in I feel strong and healthy. I would highly recommend him for all fitness levels. More...

Johnny is great.  He listens to your goals and then tailors a workout plan for you.  He is also creative and thoughtful with his workout plans.  I had a broken foot and he made a special plan for me that helped me stay fit and be safe with my injured foot.  I highly recommend Johnny for personal and small class training.

If I could give it 10 stars I would. I came in to see John for a consultation and was blown away by how professional and knowledgeable he was. I started a couple days later and have been incredibly thankful that he took me on. I came in clocking in around 390 lbs. After almost 2 months now I have lost 50 lbs and there is nothing stopping me from getting to my goals!! John is extremely hands on. From weight lifting to cardio, diet to lifestyle he coaches you in every aspect of your life and truly goes above and beyond so you can achieve the goals you create. If you’re looking to change your life, Get ahold of John now!!! More...

The one reason I usually avoided gyms is now one of the many reasons I love this gym: the people.Everybody is so encouraging, kind and supportive. Johnny has given me the push I so desperately needed. He is extremely knowledgable when it comes to fitness and nutrition, giving me the proper guidance to keep me on track to achieve my goals. I'm learning A LOT! He genuinely cares about his clients and is dedicated to helping them succeed. The workouts are always different, fun and individualized to target different muscles on different days.I messed up my back years ago. Not only am I learning the correct ways to workout to prevent further injury and to improve posture, I'm also falling back in love with exercise. Thanks to Johnny I'm doing it the safe and smart way this time around. Maintaining a healthier lifestyle has never felt more attainable. Each day I feel stronger, more confident and motivated. A feeling that is priceless. Not to mention my clothes are beginning to fit more comfortably. For as long as I can remember I've had the worst sweet tooth/willpower but now my stomach has shrunk and I've actually managed to curb my appetite. Nowadays I look to food as fuel rather than comfort. It's only week 3 and I've already lost 6 pounds. The temptations are so much easier to resist. I have a ways to go but I look forward to the journey ahead. I need to keep reminding myself it's not how far you have to go, it's how far you have come. I was very unhappy with myself and uncomfortable in my own skin so I decided to take action. You have the power to change something if you're upset with yourself or a temporary situation- hard work & perseverance does pay off. You'll reap the rewards- mentally & physically. Taking the first step forward (no matter how small) is a step in the right direction. If you hire this man to be your trainer you will not be disappointed! I'm so grateful.A huge thank you to Johnny, his lovely wife Linda, and everyone at Fuel Your Training. You guys are the best! More...

I've been working out with Johnny for a month now at the suggestion of my good friend. It's been a great experience--he pushes me to work out in a motivating fashion. I am looking to improve my overall conditioning and increase my level of fitness. Johnny has customized the workouts so they are full body and I am working out many different muscle groups at the same time--very efficient and effective. Johnny is flexible and responsive--it's easy to book my workouts and he is very reliable--we communicate via text. He makes working out fun while still pushing me to do my best. I feel much stronger and fitter and am looking forward to continued improvements in my level of fitness. More...

It has helped me feel a lot stronger and energized, helped my posture, eased back pain, and helped me feel more confident. I recommended the gym to my mother who is now going in every week.

My experience of working out with Johnny has been great. He is very experienced and knowledgeable, not only telling me what to do, but more important, making sure I am doing it correctly and paying attention to critical details. The workout he has designed for me is challenging but not intimating. I've worked out for 5 weeks and already seen my energy level going up dramatically. Johnny is always flexible and accommodating in terms of schedule, making it easier and stress free. The day before my scheduled training, I always get a text reminder from him - very considerate. He is very professional and truly a nice guy, always encouraging and positive. On top of everything, the gym environment is friendly and people there are fun and pleasant. My daughter came to train with me during her winter break and loved it too. A great experience so far! More...

My experience with Johnny has been incredible!! Before Johnny, I had tried Orange Theory and many other trainers - none of them showed results as I experienced with him. He provided personal training along with a strict nutrition plan which is exactly what I needed. He provided ample amount of time and dedication to go over my goals and progress. He always motivated me to keep pushing through when I was ready to give up. My goal was to lose 10 pounds by the time of my wedding and I was able to reach my goal with help of Johnny. I had a such a great experience with him, he is easy to work with, he really cared about my goals, and he was dedicated to help me achieve my target weight. I highly recommend training with Johnny!!

I have been working out with Johnny for over a month now and I can't be more happy about what he helped me to achieve during such a short time. He's always on time, and is flexible to adjust your workout schedule if you need it. He knows when to push you harder and when to tell you to leave your ego behind the door. He gives you a strict and personalized plan on your work outs and your diet. In the first 2 weeks I was overwhelmed with the new information, and Johnny was patient answering my questions and concerns. He sincerely wants to help you achieve your goals and has a proven record he CAN do it. He commits to your development, all you have to do is follow up. Do you know what I'm looking up to during the week? Yes, you're right, my workout sessions. Isn't that a description of a great trainer? Yes, that's it. Do you want to change? Gain muscles, loose weight or increase your endurance? Wait no more, get up off your ass and come visit Johnny, you will not regret it!On top of that you have a nice gym and equipment, friendly environment and convenient location 10 minutes away from I-94, close to a Metra station.
