Jason, My wife, Janice, is very pleased with her association with her trainer, Debby McKnight. She appreciates her depth of knowledge. She was especially impressed that Debby immediately noticed, at the first session, that she needed to work on correcting/improving her posture. Working together her posture has definitely improved. Janice looks forward to her sessions. Thank you for checking in, Jason. Paul

I had the desire to get in shape and had been mulling over the idea of getting a personal trainer. The diagnosis of a connective tissue disorder was the final push I needed to start looking for a great trainer that could address my specific circumstances. After a lengthy research process, I found Jason and was very impressed by his credentials, program, success stories, and responsiveness to my inquiry. After chatting with him in person, I was reassured that his program would be a good fit for my goals of gaining muscle to support my connective tissue and losing fat to be healthier all around. His diet plan is strict yet manageable, and I appreciated that Jason also had recommendations for supplements, protein powders, et cetera. He does a great job of getting people of all experience levels acclimated to the world of weight training, plus he is a pro bodybuilder so he definitely knows what he is doing. He paired me up with my personal trainer, Debby, who is a perfect match. She is incredibly knowledgeable (also a pro bodybuilder), motivational, has a very similar health history to me, and is overall great to chat with during my workouts. I have seen a lot of great progress in a few short weeks that I know I would not have achieved without Jason and Debby. Overall, I would highly recommend Jason’s program to anyone regardless of experience level, health history, or anything else that may be holding you back from finally working towards your health/body goals!

I hired Jason and Los Angeles Personal Training to help me get stronger (and fit in my old pants) after having two babies. Jason was super responsive and professional. He asked what my goals were and talked me through the process and sent the information in writing as well. He provided an 8-week postpartum diet, cardio, and strength plan. It allowed for modifications as a breastfeeding mother and was very doable, though it required a lot of dedication as expected. I worked with personal trainer Dennis who is very knowledgeable, prompt, and flexible with training times. They are both bodybuilders and are very knowledgeable about diet and fitness, including knowledge beyond just heavy lifting. I am fitter and stronger than I was before having both babies and they have refreshed my dietary habits such that I have been able to maintain my weight during the holidays with ease.

Amazing trainer with a great network of (also) stellar trainers. If you can train with him directly - awesome. If you can't, he will refer you to someone who is also awesome. My 4 week program got me started on a real life-changing journey. Thank you, Jason!

Jason created a great nutrition plan catered specifically to my body, that I lost 10 lbs in the first week. David was my trainer and was super friendly and very knowledgeable about any questions I had. He guided me to sculpt the exact body I had told him I envisioned. I recommend Jason Kozma and David Hughes as trainers if you want to see results, and you want to see them quick.

I'm getting married this summer and my goal is to get back down to the weight I was when I first met my fiancé. On my own, I was losing about 1 pound/week - which isn't bad. But now, with Jason's nutritional plan and David's training, I am losing an average of 2.8 pounds/week! Incredible, right?! Seriously - just do what they tell you and you'll get 3x the results you would going solo!

I wrote Jason asking for a consult and he made himself available on my schedule. We met so he could design the best program for my fitness needs which was great but he also made it fun. He's super passionate about fitness and encouraging without being pushy. I've been working out with his co-trainer Tasha who's amazing. Tasha knows exactly how far to push me without over doing it. I tend to burn out after some time but she keeps it fresh. She's prompt, energetic, flexible, knowledgeable and a pleasure to workout with.
