Increased his energy at work and improved his mental focus.

“I’ve been working with Jon for over five years. He focuses on training the entire body, not just independent muscles, and has an emphasis on long-term fitness. He is always prepared for our sessions and can explain both the “how” and the “why” of each exercise that he includes in my workout. He tolerates my bad days (I’ve been know to whine a little) but is always more than willing to push me a bit harder. I’ve received all the benefits that I expected from physical training: sustained energy, improved sleep, reduced depression, and a better focus. Most importantly, Jon makes me enjoy working out so I do it more consistently than I ever have in the past.”

Rose Hayden, Chief Executive Officer of Business Analytics Software Company. Age 52

Recently dropped 20 pounds and 3 dress sizes.

“I’ve been training with Jon for over five years. Since I began with Jon, I have lost 20 pounds! Now in my early fifties, I can honestly say that I’m in the best shape of my life. Jon brings a quiet, deliberate focus to his work – never wavering from his goal to improve your strength, stamina and endurance while making absolutely sure that your form is perfect! Jon understands that we want to be healthy and strong in order to keep up with busy lives and feel great. I am an absolute fan – walking proof that Jon’s program works.”

David Carpenter, Entrepreneur and Real Estate Whiz. Age 47

Lost 25 pounds in 3 months!

"I lost over twenty five pounds after working with Jon and Human Machine Athletic Club for about six months.  The workouts are always hard and I get a great calorie burn, but I was really impressed with the food diary.  It was an eye-opening experience for me. Because Jon insisted that I keep an online food journal at least a few days each week, I was able to immediately see how many calories I was taking in each day.  It was no big surprise that I was way over the recommended number of calories, so I immediately started to make changes to the amount of food I ate each day.  After a few weeks of watching the size of my portions and eliminating beer and wine from my diet, the weight slowly started to come off."

Emily Ayres, Corporate Furniture Sales. Age 42

Lost 12 pounds in 7 weeks and dropped from a size 12 to a size 8!

“I have had more than a few personal trainers before I started working with Jon. Most of those trainers liked to look at themselves in the mirror, throw you on a couple machines and then talk to you for the rest of the hour. Jon quickly changed that! I’ve been training with him for over four years. Since starting with him, I have lowered my body fat percentage and dropped the weight. He likes to mix things up – so every training session is a little different. I totally look forward to every session, even though I occasionally groan. Jon is the REAL DEAL.”

The mall walkers at Barton Creek Square have nothing on him. Staying strong well into his sixties.

"I've been working with Jon and the personal trainers at Human Machine Athletic Club for over six years now.  After so much time together, I would have thought that by now, I would have seen every possible exercise at least a few times over.  But every week without fail, those guys throw me another curve ball - a new and challenging exercise that I'd never seen before.  They always keep the workouts interesting and I definitely feel much stronger and more confident when I workout on my own because of the coaching that I've received from them."

Dave Pope, Chemical Engineer. Age 47

Finally listened to his wife and found a challenging workout he would stick with.

"I thought P90X was the only workout that I would ever need.  I had been using the DVD's for a couple of months and getting good results.  Then my wife started with Human Machine in January of this year, and after a couple of months, strongly suggested that I give them a try.  I never knew how much harder I would work under the constant supervision of an experienced personal trainer.  These guys keep me motivated, make sure that my form is perfect and demand the most from me each and every time that I workout.  When I walk to the showers after a morning workout, I know that I've left everything that I had on the training floor.  That feeling of accomplishment is a great way to start the day!"

Gregg Phillips, President of Business Analytics Software Company. Age 51

Decided that middle age didn't have to mean too much fat around the middle.

"I knew what to do to lose weight, but I needed someone to help me get stronger, leaner and keep the weight off. The total body workouts at Human Machine really helped me gain muscle, reduce my body fat and keep my energy level high. These guys are true professionals in an industry that can be anything but professional."

Tanya Pope, Teacher and Domestic Engineer. Age 42

Now has the confidence and commitment to tackle her biggest fitness goal: lose the weight.

"I was really nervous about stepping into a gym for the first time.  The bigger gyms used to intimidate me, so I never went.  When I visited Human Machine for the first time, I knew this place was different.  The small, studio setting and personal attention at Human Machine has been great.  They take time to explain the exercises, answer my questions and give me constant feedback and support.  I now look forward to the workouts (even if I might be a little sore the next day) and hate to miss a session with them."
