Form & Function Personal Training

As a former collegiate athlete, I was a bit uneasy at first about hiring a personal trainer. I thought why should I pay someone to have me do exercises and conduct a workout when I already know my way around a gym more than most. After finally giving in due to the convincing of a friend, I couldn’t be happier with the process so far.
I first met Jaymeson at a nice/​large facility called HiFi where many trainers work with their clients. He isn’t your typical meathead that’s juiced up with scrawny legs (you know, the guy who spends all his time on the upper body and forgets the lower half!). He’s in shape, presents himself well, has tremendous knowledge of kinesiology and really listens to what you want to achieve from personal training. Being a bigger guy already, my focus was not on muscle/​size gain, but more towards flexibility, weight loss and getting back some of the tone/​definition that’s been lost after spending years away from the gym after having 3 kids.
Additionally, since I have a long history of injuries from athletics (2 highly invasive ankle surgeries and a ruptured hamstring), I was worried that Jaymeson would push these areas so hard that I wouldn’t be able to walk the next day since I’m still «trying» to play competitive sports. I was definitely wrong and he has worked tirelessly to not only strengthen these spots, but completely adjusted my program to one that focuses more on stretching, flexibility and building core strength as my body has become unbalanced to avoid using these injured areas.
Now 4 months in, I’ve lost about 25 pounds of bad weight and I have more energy/​less daily pain than I can remember in the past 5 – 7 years. While I’m not back to where I was athletically in my early 20’s and likely never will be after all the injuries, I’m now confident that I can play sports injury free and keep up with my kids and their physical activities. Working with Jaymeson has been a great experience and one that I’ll definitely continue for years to come.

My review of Jaymeson and Form & Function is based on about four years of regular workouts. In my mid-​30s, I was struggling with back and knee pain resulting from years of competitive sports. I had worked with a few trainers prior to Jaymeson, but felt many didn’t push me or pay attention to my goals. In contrast, I have really clicked with Jaymeson’s training style. He is attentive. Exercises are varied. And, most importantly, I work hard and push myself to go a little bit farther than I might on my own. Jaymeson tailors workouts to my needs and he monitors my progress between sessions. The results have been great. Despite being pretty fit at the start, my body fat percentage has fallen by about a third in the last four years, my back is pain-​free and I’m working out smarter on my own. I strongly recommend to anyone — male or female, young or maturing, fit or trying to get it back.

I started training with Jaymeson due to a back injury. My doctors told me I should not lift more than 40 lbs total, and no more than 20 lbs over my head. I was never okay with that. After multiple injections & countless hours of physical training, nothing improved my back. I continued to go to the gym on my own, and would injure myself by lifting more than I should, or due to bad posture and technique. I decided that enough was enough. I went to Jaymeson & explained my situation to him. Jaymeson assessed my lower back posture, created comprehensive training routines, and has helped me to lift without causing any injuries to myself. He helped strengthen my core, make a body transformation, gain muscle mass, improved my diet & has gone with me to shop for healthier foods. My cardio is better than ever, I have higher endurance, & the list goes on. He pushes me to exceed my limits while preventing me from any injuries. Jaymeson is very aware of my individual needs and has helped me every step of the way. Today I am lifting more than my doctors recommended. I am 50 years old, in better shape now than I have ever been, & I’ve never felt this good.
Jaymeson is 100% devoted and dedicated to his clients. His training doesn’t end when your session ends.
Thank you Jaymeson.

I’ve been working out for years on my own and didn’t think I needed a personal trainer. I was wrong. Been working out with Jaymeson for 6 months and my whole perspective on working out AND dieting has changed along with getting great results. Jaymeson has helped me reach that «extra level» in my workouts. He is not the typical trainer. He takes pride in what he does both during the session and leading up to your next session. He is very knowledgeable, he structures your workouts, gives great HW assignments, encourages you along the way, and is always enthusiastic about your workouts. Aside from the workouts, he helps you formulate a diet plan that will help you reach your desired goals. I would definitely recommend F&F to anyone looking for a great personal trainer.

Since working with Jaymeson, I have lost 12 lbs, reduced my waist by 2″, increased my chest and shoulders 2″ and my arms are 1.25″ larger. I have dropped from 22% body fat down to 17.5%. All this since mid-​October 2011. That’s only 4 months!

It took me a wile to find a good Trainer. out of all the trainers I spoke to, Jaymeson is not your typical meat-​head GYM Rat. He is a really nice, personable kind of guy, and not your typical airhead trainer who just wants to work you out.
So far I have had about two years with him and he has been kicking my but in the GYM in a good way. He texts me and is on my back about what I eat, to working out on my own. He is very passionate about training you to be physically fit and tries to make you think smart about eating and working out.
He is an enthusiastic believer in equipping you with knowledge to better improve your life physically through exercise and better eating. If you need a trainer who can kick you in the pants and hold you to it he is your man.
