Most Recent Testimonials We have 17 year old twin boys who have been working with Jon for 2 years. They are on the High School crew team and needed to put on weight & build-up their strength. They started working with Jon and got so much more. The dedication, care, concern, knowledge, expertise, and the physical and mental excellence which Jon has given our sons will be a life-long influence!  They have gained tremendously both inside and out from working with Jon. He put them on a whole different level & now colleges are taking an interest…we cannot say enough to thank Jon for all that he has done! You cannot do any better than to train with Jon! Gene and Debbi Petrella When I decided to join the Marine Corps, I knew that I had to prepare for extremely rigorous, physically demanding training. I trained on my own for a few months, yet I realized that I needed help with my workout routine. I made an appointment with Jon Porter. He had me doing things, in and out of the gym, that I didn't think I was capable of doing!  My strength increased tremendously & I became much faster! When I arrived at Officer Candidates School (OCS), I was ready for anything! My "injury free" success at OCS was a direct result of the training I had done with Jon, and I don't think I would've been able to get through it without his help! Semper Fi, Lt. Matt Morrison
