Los Angeles Best Personal Trainer : Jason Kozma

Jason is an excellent Trainer! I would recommend him for and sports or any physically related goal. I came to Jason to increase my speed and body shape. I compete in half marathons and shorter distance races. I am a sponsored athlete, and my career relies on appearance and performance. Speed and looking good is very important to me. Jason designed me a diet and exercise program to help trim me up and improve my running. He also provides something that was that made all the right information work, and that was more motivation and focus on my goals. Working with Jason on a weekly basis kept me very focus and motivated. I live in Riverside (1:30 min drive from LA) so most of what we did was over the internet through email. I was able to contact him for questions and feedback on my routine and progress several times a week. Also, I would drive to LA 1-2 times per month to see Jason.

            In 8 weeks of working with Jason I dropped 14lbs.  My shorts size went from a size small to an extra small that needed to be hemmed in 2 inches. January 15, 2005 I took 1st place women overall in the Highland half marathon (13.1 miles). The first 7 miles of this race was all up hill. It was a tough race! Working with Jason worked! I plan to keep working with Jason to keep furthering myself in my career and fitness goals.

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.

Looking for a personal trainer in Los Angeles? 

Want to train with the best?

So you are out of shape, and feel that getting into good physical condition is an uphill climb that you can never make? Think of it like rallying in a baseball game. You must score one run at a time. If you trail by a lot, you cannot hit a six-run homer. Put men on base and knock 'em in one at a time.

The same thing applies to conditioning. Put in a little effort every day. Do not worry about your gains. Do not even check your weight every day. If you put in effort, you will see gains over time.

Most trainers emphasize fitness strength. However, that may not yield the results you are looking for. Most people train to look good; the amount of weight they lift is a secondary concern, if a concern at all. Therefore, train for cosmetic enhancements. This will help you to create the desired body shape, rather than oddly developed or unchanged bodies.

Most trainers do not give a lot of thought to the uniqueness of a client's body. Their thinking is "If it works for me, it'll work for you." However, most trainers have been training for many years and do not know how to teach a new trainee how to get in touch with their body and feel their muscles perform the exercises properly. You must be able to feel and control your muscles.

Change your routine
Most trainers have their clients perform the same workout every time, over and over again, for months and even years. Your body needs a change (not to mention your mind). Create an ever-evolving workout pattern for yourself. Do not limit yourself to a certain rote series of sets, reps and exercises. You will improve more safely and quickly by changing things around.
