Training

___________________________________________________________________________

I strongly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a superior fitness professional.

When I met Jeff, I was preparing for a starring movie role, and it was crucial that I be in optimal physical condition.  Exercise has always been an intergal part of my life but over the years I developed a few physical issues.  I was concerned my intense training days were history, but Jeff and I trained harder than I have since I was a teen-ager.

Jeff helped me completely overhaul my nutrition which was a key factor in my dramatic body change.I was beyond pleased with my results—I was ecstatic. I am now in the best shape of my life.

If you want the best, hire Jeff Blair.

Star of the CBS drama "Hawaii Five-0" and one the "World's 25 Fittest Men" per Men's Fitness Magazine

Jeff's Comments: Alex is a great pleasure to work with.  He probably trains harder than anyone I have ever worked with.  He definitely has an "extra gear" in both training intensity, mental focus and his commitment to nutrition. Alex saw results very fast-probably faster than anyone I have ever worked with and certainly faster than most people can expect.  One of my thoughts training Alex is if a football team had 11 players with his commitment and intensity level, they might never lose a game!

Jeff, 

Thank You for all the help you have given me! 

Not only have I experienced a physical transformation, but I also now have an understanding of fat loss, strength, and power that will last a lifetime. 

You are very good at providing clarity for someone that truly wants it.  There are a lot of poor trainers out there who have their little schemes to hook people into a string of trainings or perpetuate incorrect information. 

I think it is great that there is an excellent trainer out there like you who provides a high quality service. 

I truly believe that your approach to Personal Training is the way it should be done.

Thomas Burling, Consultant-Los Angeles

Jeff's Comments:  Thomas was amazing to work with.  He is an incredibly bright and succcessful guy who was really interested in making a real physical change.  He was very interested in some of the underlying physiological principles behind different training choices which made the sessions really fun for me.  Thomas also brought me CDs addressing motivation and success which I always love learning more about.  I am sure Thomas is going to be highly successful in his career and his continued pursuit of his exercise and health goals.  The ideal professional situation is where both parties learn from each other.  I definitely learned a lot about motivation and success from Thomas!

I have known Jeff for many years. I wanted to talk to him about losing weight but was hesitant to make a commitment.  When I finally decided that I wanted to talk to him, I was ready to take direction with my habits.

One thing that kept me on my program was the daily emails I sent to Jeff.  If I didn't feel well, I was able to call him for advice.

Wow, I lost 10 pounds in the first week. I started to get compliments from everyone I knew.  I continued with the plan and eventually lost 50 pounds over the next 6 months. The things I learned will stay with me for the rest of my life.  I cannot express my gratitude enough towards Jeff with helping me with my weight. I will continue to work with Jeff and ask for his advice.

Thank you Jeff!

Steven Weinman, Los Angeles

Jeff's comments:  Steve and I actually only met once face-to-face. The rest of the communication was via email.   He really took to the program and did a good job of following the plan and overriding his past habits.  His exercise approach was pretty moderate, but he achieved great success by being consistent. Steve seems much healthier after losing 50 pounds, and I wish him future success.

“I got to know Jeff as one of the trainers at the gym near my Sony office and I was lucky enough to start working out with him soon after that. From the beginning he was intense and willing to match my focus on results, instead of just allowing our sessions to become casual and slow.

In addition to challenging workouts that kept the intensity up and the boredom down, Jeff did an amazing job recommending nutritional changes, equipment, reading material and ways to increase my results after the gym workouts were over.

I pushed him to push me and he delivered creatively and competitively time and time again. Jeff became a great friend and an inspiration to stay in shape and I wish I could still be working out with him now. 

If you get a chance to work with Jeff don't hesitate. It will be one of the best decisions you've ever made.”

POST-REHAB

"I highly recommend Jeff Blair as your next personal trainer because of my life-changing experience.

I am a working mommy of two, a business owner and a wife and part-time caretaker of my mother. I think its fair to say that I was leading a pretty full life. Then as life happens, my son and I were in a car accident.

I wasn’t moving around very well until I met Jeff.  He incorporated physical therapy, discussed my condition with my physician and tailored a unique exercise program that would not hurt my injury but help me through rehab and sculpt my body for the better.

You need Jeff Blair as your personal trainer because he will tailor an exercise program that will motivate, condition and help you meet your fitness goals.  Not just with movements, or repetitions but also through conversation throughout the workout he is able to pinpoint your driving force.

Resistance for Runners Programs (online and in-person)

Jeff Blair has been a part of my health and fitness education for the last three years, but it was not until recently that I became one of his clients.  In weeks prior to asking Jeff to help me, I hit a plateau with my triathlon training and workout sessions.  My swims were inconsistent, I struggled on the bike, (a discipline I am very strong) and the run seemed challenging (and I love running).  

It became very apparent; I was missing an important component of training that would help me overcome my barriers.  I realized I needed to supplement regular resistance training if I wanted to optimize my performance for Ironman Arizona in November. 

Jeff designed a safe, progressive, periodized, and challenging twelve week resistance training plan for me that has produced amazing results and has improved my running performance.  My individual quality run resistance training program was designed and focused to help improve economy, efficiency, speed, mobility, stability, muscular endurance, and power output.

I must commend Jeff for his clarity, amazing knowledge, depth of understanding and ability to present so coherently the information. One could not walk away without feeling what an incredible opportunity his presentation had on being a life changing event.

Cedric-retired airline pilot

El Segundo, California

Jeff's comments:  Cedric spent years working as an airline pilot-living in hotels and eating food from airports.  Cedric decided he wanted to make a major change and has really made great progress.  One of the most interesting things about Cedric is he is making these changes at 60 years old.  So he is overcoming years of learned habits and behavior.  That is a great challenge, but he is making great strides.

“Jeff invited me to a seminar knowing I was interested in improving my health.. After attending I felt inspired, more educated, and have now become a member of an excellent fitness site. His expertise and experience should be appreciated by many. His accomplishments are inspirational. Thank you Jeff for helping me realize the importance of excercise and good eating as a priority to mental health as well.”

I have had the privilege of working with Jeff Blair over the past few years.  His knowledge of exercise, health, and fitness has impressed me tremendously. 

Even better, his ability to apply his knowledge in a way that helps people to live healthier lives is a great value to our field. 

Very few exercise professionals that I have encountered have the depth of understanding and balance between science and application that Jeff possesses.
