Success! John developed a terrific training program for me, specifically tailored to my climbing ambitions. I worked with John for a little less than a year, and in that timeframe, I felt 15 years younger and stronger. I’m sure I would have had a much less enjoyable climb without the strength John helped me develop.
Kevin King, Durham, NC I am a young dedicated soccer player for the Triangle Futbol Club. When I badly rolled my ankle playing in Germany I was upset and confused. I had a new season and fitness testing coming up soon, and I was a little bit panicked. Luckily, Dad ran into John while exercising on the Washington Duke trail. It was arranged so that I would see him twice a week, in order to get my ankle back to top form and get me back in shape. John immediately won my favor by directing the questions to me, asking about my condition and expectations, and only afterwards asking my Dad about his expectations. Once I said I wanted to get back in shape John was never afraid to push me, sometimes harder than I thought I could go. But he also made it fun, and let me laugh and somehow enjoy myself. Those were some of the quickest hours of my life. I was having too much fun to realize that I was being worked almost to exhaustion, and then I was too happy to care. With John’s coaching I was able to pass my fitness tests and quickly get back into the game. Scout Henninger, Hillsborough, NC I have not felt this strong since I was in my 20's! John has designed a personal training program specific to my needs. I had a difficult time staying motivated to go to the gym. I was doing the same exercises over and over again. The most exciting part about training with John is I never know what to expect. He always has some new and creative exercise ready to challenge me and push me to the next level. One day we may be boxing and the next I may be hopping on a BOSU. Then there are the killer (in a good way!) kettle bell workouts. John has also helped me pay more attention to what I eat. He has me keep a food journal which he regularly reviews. He even encouraged me to sign a contract limiting my sweets and ensuring I get plenty of exercise the days I am not training with him. Last but not least, there is the Z. I have always had problems with my feet, ankles and knees. Z Health, which John promotes, has decreased the pain I feel when I am physically active. John continues to amaze me with his knowledge of all things fitness!
Kimberly Isley, Durham, NC At times I have often wondered what life would be like without my meetings with my personal trainer, John Hinkle. At 67 years old, I would not be walking 18 while toting my bag. Prior to working with John, my shoulder range of motion was extremely limited. My neck would not turn from center, neither left nor right, and the pain in my neck was sharp and steady. After a few months with John, the pain was gone and the golf club could be swung. That was just the start. My energy levels have increased and life is fuller. By the way, I also got my wife's approval for a new set of clubs! Cecil Cooke, Durham, NC For the past 3 months John Hinkle has developed a strengthening program for my lower back that is unlike anything else I have tried over the years. My chronic back pain limited what I could do in terms of yard work, sports and activities with my young children. By designing a program specific for my needs, John has made a tremendous difference in my overall strength as well as lower back strength and flexibility. I highly recommend John Hinkle to anyone who is interested in alleviating lower back pain or improving their overall strength and fitness. Mike Kerner, Durham, NC Training with John has enabled me to push way beyond my perceived limits. Who would have thought at almost 60 I'd be flipping a 250 lb. tire, swinging kettle bells, and doing multiple other fun training feats. I'm convinced that working out with John has significantly helped my masters’ sports performance, which includes national age group gold in racquetball, and state gold in softball and basketball. But more important is the knowledge that training goes hand in hand with an active and enjoyable life. Thank you John! Dee Stribling, Hillsborough, NC Making the commitment to train with John has been one of the best decisions I have ever made for my health and well-being. After nagging knee injuries left me frustrated and unable to run long distances, I began working with John in hopes of increasing my fitness level and regaining the motivation to exercise. John developed a customized program based on my interests and goals that was sensitive to my physical limitations. Before long, I was feeling stronger than ever without knee pain! In addition, my body became leaner and my flexibility improved. I regained my motivation to live in a healthy, balanced way. More than a year has passed and I continue to find personal training to be challenging, fun, and filled with variety. I highly recommend John to anyone wishing for a professional, personalized, and supportive fitness program. Sally Jackson, Durham, NC It was a pleasure to work with John Hinkle whose patience and considerateness was never failing. He is knowledgeable and responsive to the needs of his clients. I feel that I made significant progress under his direction. Anne Thomas, Chapel Hill, NC Contact Us Today!
