Fitness and Social Media Fused.
Hi guys. First off, a massive thank you for your support. This past week I’ve gotten thousands of “likes”, shares, emails and messages of encouragement to finish this project. I’ll get back to you all soon. I promise. Here’s the deal. I self-published Ignite the Fire (due out April17th) because it’s a niche book. My recently [...]
The following is a snippet from my project I’ve been researching and working on in secret for 6 months. My next book is called “Race to the Top” and will be published soon. My girlfriend only found out I was doing this a week ago. Remember when Facebook status updates were really about what you [...]
The idea of reading’s always been a passion of mine. When I was young I’d pretend to finish 700 page fantasy novels because I figured others would think I was smart. I didn’t understand a word but sometimes they had pretty pictures, that kept me going. One of the reasons I became a trainer was [...]
I remember sitting on the floor in my childhood home flipping through the b’s in our encyclopedia, stopping on whatever page gripped me. One day I’d read about Barracuda‘s and the next bikes. Then the cd rom came out and all of the books became cheap and portable. Problem was I didn’t flip through them anymore — I [...]
Every morning I wake up and, after throwing on my awesome slippers, groggily open my email. One morning I had a note from my Mom. Of course I opened it first but to my surprise she was angry at me. “Jon, why do you only have 1 woman out of 11 included in your book???” [...]
Yesterday the picture above showed up in my facebook feed and I kind of lost it. I pride myself on being controlled but couldn’t hold back. This really irked me. It’s a trend that’s developing and doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Yes this picture’s entertaining. I LOL’d (didn’t quite ROFLOL and ROFLMAO was a ways off). [...]
Note: This article is best read listening to Sophie’s beautiful music. Follow this link and click on the play button on any of the songs. Enjoy! Living and training in Toronto doesn’t lend itself well to being a celebrity trainer. This doesn’t bother me. In fact I’m often asked whether I have aspirations to train [...]
Too many bloggers write “thought-provoking” and motivational posts. If you want to help people give them something actionable. Unless you’ve done something great in your life or overcome serious adversity I don’t care to hear you speak about how I can “crush it in 2012″. Sorry. If you want a post to motivate yourself or [...]
I made a decision today. A big decision. One that involves me taking significant financial and professional risk. It’s a decision where I carefully weighed the pros and cons. I considered everything but have no way of predicting the future. Well one way… I’m confident in myself and I know what I bring to the [...]
This story starts and ends with a banana. A simple and unassuming fruit. Who knew it could cause such controversy? Yet a simple Google search titled “Is Fruit Bad?” garnered me 294,000,000 results. Hell, even the bible weighs in on the subject. Here’s a passage from Matthew 7:18: “A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, [...]
