To Jason...a muscle genius:

You've gotten me into the best shape of my life.  Not only am I buff as hell but I feel AWESOME!...thanks to you.  These past few weeks off from training with you have been a pain because I've actually missed working out.  I can't wait to start training with you again and this time I will be recruiting some of my sorority friends!

Keep up the good work!!!

When I first started working out with Jason he helped me recover from the oversized body I had created during an extremely enjoyable trip to Italy.  Following his instructions (diet especially), I quickly dropped weight from the trip (6 pounds the first week!) .  But I soon learned that I had also returned from Italy with another souvenir- I was pregnant!  I continued to work out with Jason during the first 6 months of my pregnancy, which helped me get stronger for labor (which I did naturally) and also retain some sense of myself while I endured the astonishing enlargement of my body.   At six weeks post partum, I returned to work out with Jason, weighing at this time about 15 pounds over my best shape body weight, and my body was very mushy.  In the months that followed Jason helped me be on a healthy, breast-feeding friendly diet, that enabled me to take off the weight and get in shape. The work outs themselves built my strength which I appreciated much more as I had to carry around a baby and do a lot of stuff while holding her with one arm.  Thanks to Jason, and my hard work, at 4 months post partum I was very comfortable in a bikini and feeling great!

When I began training with Jason I wanted to lose some weight but more importantly I wanted to be forced to go to the gym on a consistent basis (at least for 8 weeks).  Training with Jason I achieved much more!  I have lost over 15 lbs and gained muscle, strength and confidence.  Now, I enjoy going to the gym and exercising.  I even started running.  I recently completed my first 5K and plan to continue to pursue new sports, new challenges and continue my new healthy lifestyle.  Thanks Jason!

After a highly frustrating, prolonged 3 1/2 month fitness plateau and the inability of three different personal trainers and a registered nutritionist to get me back on track to achieve the results I desired, I came across Jason’s website while researching solutions to my dilemma. Jason’s fitness philosophy seemed to good to be true.

Still skeptical but with an attitude of “nothing ventured, nothing gained”, I booked an LA Body session with him. From the get-go Jason was extremely confident that his individually tailored nutritional plan and fitness workout would get results. Well….. words are one thing, tangible results are another and 2 1/2 months later I’ve lost 18 pounds and 11 1/2 inches.

I believe in Jason’s ability to read the body and trust in his knowledge to come up with a healthy formula to transform it accordingly.  OK Jason, it seems you DO rule!! - Joanne Mitchell

It seemed that no matter how hard I exercised or dieted, I never seemed to look the way I wanted to. One afternoon, I noticed that my neighbor (who had 2 small children) looked wonderful. She looked so trim and fit. I commented on how great she looked, and she told me about her personal trainer, Jason Kozma. I had known other friends that had personal trainers and I never saw much difference in their appearance. Seeing such a dramatic change in my neighbor's appearance in such a short period of time, I decided to take the next step.

I am a 48 year old mother of three children. I gave myself and Jason Kozma the ultimate challenge. I had 6 weeks until our family Hawaiian summer vacation, and I wanted to wear a bikini! We did it! With Jason's professional guidance and constant encouragement, my personal dream came true! I have decided that I am going to continue with Jason Kozma's personal training so that I may continue being fit, and build my stamina to make my everyday work easier on my body. I want to continue living my dream.

My husband was so impressed with my incredible transformation, he decided to do something about his health and appearance. He also decided to train with Jason. He feels much healthier and fit, and he looks really good too! This is the best thing we have done for ourselves. We made the investment in our health and our bodies for our family and ourselves.

Thank you Jason, for your incredible expertise!

I've had an opportunity to train with 5 different trainers across the  country, in Washington D.C., New York, Denver and Los Angeles, and let me honestly tell you, it's only since I've worked with Jason that I've seen  this tremendous progress. In just five weeks I've put on 17 pounds.  I've had to go out and buy new clothes having literally ripped out of my old shirts.

Jason is the only trainer I'm aware of who not only customizes my training and nutrition to my specific needs and goals but also to how my body is changing and responding to training. Each workout is different,  and each workout brings results you can see. Jason's ability to adapt my  workout and nutrition to my changing needs means continued progress too.

If you ever hope to achieve the goals you have in the way you look, whatever those individual goals may be, you owe it to yourself to work with Jason. You will see results. I stake my reputation on it.

P.S. Jason ,I had to write to tell you of something that just happened.

I've been training with you for just a month and this past weekend I walked into my old gym. Another trainer there came over and couldn't believe it was me. He actually hadn't recognized me at first. He remarked at how much bigger I had become and actually wanted to know what I was on! Well, I'd be the first to admit a 13 pound gain in just a month looks 'suspicious', but all it took was consistently training with you and following exactly the nutrition program you put me on. No drugs, just my willingness to follow what you tell me to do. And to tell you the truth, I've actually ripped out of three shirts so far. I haven't seen gains like this in a long time and it feels great! Thanks a lot!

Dear Jason,

Thank you so much for training my son Gus.  I know you've started him on the right track to healthy eating and exercise habits. 

See you in the sweat shop!                           -Joy

Almost five years ago I gained 15 pounds while doing chemotherapy for breast cancer.  This was not unusual for women doing the type of chemo I did, though it was partly caused by  “feeling sorry for myself” overindulgence.  I didn’t worry about it at the time because I’d always been fit, and I had rapidly lost weight after two pregnancies.  However, the chemo also put me into early menopause.  I found I was not able to shed the pounds as easily as in the past.

Nothing worked.  I tried Atkins, but that made me feel like I was doing chemo again – I slowed way down during aerobic workouts.  I just didn’t have any energy.

 Then I discovered Jason Kozma’s web pages and decided to sign up for his online personal training.  Right away he developed a personalized diet and workout routine for me.  He increased the number of my aerobic workout sessions slightly and added several weight training sessions per week.  I particularly liked his diet.  I ate often and I ate foods that I liked and were good for me.  I had lots of energy.  My bike and swim times actually improved on the diet. 

 Recently I celebrated my 52^nd birthday and I am also about to celebrate the fifth anniversary of completing chemotherapy.  My weight is within 2 pounds of my “pre-chemo” weight!   I am much stronger and fitter than I’ve ever been.   

I owe it all to Jason’s program.   I recommend it very highly.

Jason, you are my hero!  Thank you so much!

Training with Jason is changing my body and the way I feel about myself. I never thought I could become as strong as I have already, and it feels great. Jason really understands how to start where you are and work up in a way that is both challenging and rewarding. Working out with Jason is an important ingredient in my general well-being, as well as my improved appearance.

When I started working with Jason and Morgan I wanted to lose about 5 - 10 pounds.  I thought I would just tone up, and feel more energetic.  I started out going through the motions at first, and complaining about not getting to eat my favorite foods.  I did not follow the nutritional recommendations, until I finally just decided to give in to it one day.  After about the 3rd work I noticed how much more energy I had, and the weight just came off easily!  I then noticed a significant change in my body shape and definition, and others took notice as well.  I am now at a size 0, and I am feeling as young as I did in high school!!  I get compliments from everyone, and I feel hot!!

Dear Jason- 

Thank you. Your program is the best.

With your help, I have radically improved my health, changed my lifestyle, and toned my body. I am now in the best shape I have ever been in!

Because of this experience, I have decided to become a Certified Personal Trainer so I can help others.

I was a serious asthmatic, and a heavy smoker . Off the record, several Doctors told me I was several years from being on oxygen.

I had lots of stress in my life, I was constantly juggling many things like kids, school, work etc... and needless to say, I let myself go.

I was out of shape, very ill and feeling terrible.

I decided I needed to help myself- I quit smoking, and basically began to rehabilitate myself. That's when I joined your online training and nutrition program. Having never worked with a Personal Trainer especially via the Internet, I was skeptical. I took the chance, and I'm here to say, the results speak for themselves.  I am off all of my medications, I can now run about 4 miles a day. I am toned, have lots of energy, and basically feel great! 

Sincerely,  Maryann

Turning 40 ain't easy!  But thanks to you Jason, my body is feeling healthier and stronger than anytime in the last decade, and of course that positively affects my attitude and outlook also.  My previously serious low back condition is entirely gone. I have had no back pain since we started training together. I didn't believe that training would help my back, but in fact not only do I have no pain, but I have surprised myself as to my back strength.

        A few weeks ago, I was driving my Volvo and ran out of gas. It was night time and I was barefoot. I had to get my car out of the way of traffic. So instinctively, I jumped out of the car and started pushing. Well, I had to push it uphill, to the side of the street, to avoid traffic, in bare feet no less (with no traction). Before I knew it, I had done it. It was a snap. I didn't consider until later, that I could never had done that without training with you. My body responded great.

Even now, when I miss a workout or two, my body feels worse. My overall attitude and body are lethargic when I don't train. I'm going to stick with what works, and that's to keep training with you. THANKS JASON!

Training with Jason has taught me not just what exercises to do but how to make sure I do them correctly. He not only makes sure that you are on the correct overall workout, but he also knows the small details, such as grip and stance, that can make a big difference. As a result, I feel better both psychologically and physically. More importantly, Jason takes the guesswork out of working out and provides motivation. I have worked out with other trainers and what makes Jason unique is his ability to tailor an appropriate workout for different clients. Not everyone's body is the same and Jason's appreciation of this allows his clients to see maximum gains. - Eric Grossman, Writer

     Most trainers train a client the way they train themselves, regardless of that clients specific needs. Jason sat with me before our sessions began to discuss my particular and individual goals. With these goals in mind, he set up a personal, tailored program to achieve maximum benefits for my body type.

      I have a back and neck problem and we have been able to successfully work around it while still focusing on the muscles and areas that need strengthening without damaging my back.

      Other trainers have ignored my pleas for a varied fitness routine, or alternate exercises with respect to my neck & back issues. This would only frustrate me and cause more discomfort and pain.

     I've already lost one dress size and I am starting to feel good about myself again. Jason has helped me integrate working out and diet as a lifestyle. 

-Taylor Van Arsdale, Singer, Filmmaker

At age 46, with three young kids, I decided that I needed to change my lifestyle to emphasize longevity. Jason has changed my lackadaisical attitude towards weight training by vigorously motivating me through every workout, along with his expert nutritional advice to assure consistent improvement. I've never felt stronger or healthier in my life! Plus, my kids keep calling me "Buff Bagwell" (I hope that's a good thing)             

Thanks, Jason! - Rick Silver, Father, Optometrist

I was starting to train for my 5th attempt on Mt. Rainier, and realized that, in order to succeed, I needed to improve my training method; so I decided to get help.

After reviewing a number of different physical training programs, Jason's appeared to make the most sense. He put me on track with the right diet, cardiovascular schedule and weight training program. I was assigned to Nicholas Barrett, a knowledgeable, thorough, and careful full-time trainer.
I trained with Nicholas three times per week; and with that, the cardio and the diet, it was very intense. But then, so is mountain climbing.

In just two months, I had lost 20 lbs and felt ready for Rainier. It was time to go to the mountain. The climb was extremely hard and I thought about turning back many times. After 10,000 vertical feet of snow, ice and crevasses, I finally stepped onto the 14,410' summit of Mt. Rainier. I was victorious!  I know that if it hadn't been for Jason's program, I never would have made it to the top. His program had made the difference.
