“The universe aligned for me during my first workout at Champion Fitness over 6 years ago. I have always been a practitioner of fitness, although my consistency was spotty at times. At that time in my life, my previous trainer decided to go a different direction with her business, and I was at a crossroads. Around the same time, I happened to see a newspaper article about fitness that Jason wrote for the Idaho Statesman. I remember being struck when I read the article and thinking to myself, this guy is the real deal, he might be the solution for the void in my training. Not long after that, my co-worker (who also still trains with Jason) started working out at a new gym. Within 3 weeks of working out, her arms were noticeably stronger and more defined. I had to know what magic was happening at that gym, so she gave me a free week pass. When I walked through the door, I was flabbergasted to see the trainer was the same guy who had written the article. This was meant to be.

After the first workout with Jason, when I discovered my core strength was severely lacking. I was hooked and knew this was the right path for me. Despite the fact that Champion is a bit of a drive for me, I am now a very consistent devotee. Jason’s expertise, variety of kick-ass workouts, personality and drive to make us stronger keeps me interested and motivated year after year. In addition, the amazing community and awesome friends I have made are what makes Champion feel like home.”
