Coaching for service members & veterans

Forge your
physique

I'm John, an active duty Airman and a bodybuilder. I coach service members and veterans who want to pass their next PT test or just feel better day to day. Every plan fits around the schedule they already have, and the meal plans come with options to choose from, so nobody gets stuck eating the same thing every day.

The process

How coaching works

  1. Apply or book a call

    Tell me about your goals, your schedule, and any PT test dates coming up. I read every application myself and usually reply within 48 hours.

  2. Get your plan

    I build your training and nutrition plan around your schedule and your equipment, with food options for you to pick from. It all lives in the Flex Foundry app.

  3. Check in every week

    Log your workouts and meals in the app and check in with me weekly. I look at the numbers and adjust the plan whenever your progress stalls.

What clients say

John not only knows the theory, but he puts it into practice. It's fantastic to have someone knowledgeable like John to manage this chunk of my life. With the ever-increasing demands for my time, fitness was starting to take a backseat. John takes a thorough and organized approach, while keeping the entire process simplified for me as a customer.
BrendanCoaching client
Having a coach who checks in regularly on your diet and workouts as well as how you are feeling physically and mentally is a great reassurance that I'm doing the right things and if not can course correct quickly. His coaching style is strong but empathetic.
JoshuaCoaching client
Flex Foundry has honestly been an amazing experience. John gives both amazing fitness and life advice, and really has a way of laying out the facts, while still understanding we're all human.

  • Free, and it goes straight to your inbox

About me

Hi, I'm John

I'm active duty Air Force, so I know what it's like to have a full calendar and a job that doesn't leave much time for the gym. Most of the people I coach are in the same spot, or they've gotten out and want to get back in shape.

I'm a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (NASM-CPT) and a Precision Nutrition Certified Nutrition Coach (PN1-NC), so your training and your nutrition come from the same person.

The best program is the one you'll stick with, so I start with your schedule and build from there. Your nutrition plan gives you options: pick your protein from a short list, or hit a vegetable target however you like. I track your numbers at every check-in and make changes based on what they show, not on bro science or the latest IG trend.

I'm also a professional nerd, and I coach people who sit at a desk all day, in uniform or not. If you've never worked out before, that's fine. We'll start with the basics and go at your pace.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does coaching cost?

Coaching is billed monthly. If you pay for several months up front, you get a discount. I'll walk you through the options on your free consultation call.

How does it work day to day?

Your training and nutrition plan lives in the Flex Foundry app, available on the App Store and Google Play. You log your workouts and meals there and check in with me once a week. I review your numbers and adjust the plan from there.

Do I need a gym membership?

You don't need one, but it helps. A full gym gives you the most equipment to work with, so that's usually where you'll see the best results, and the gym on base counts. If you'd rather train at home, I'll build your workouts around the equipment you have.

What if I deploy, PCS, or go TDY?

Let me know before you leave. We'll change the plan to fit the schedule and equipment you'll have where you're going, then switch back when you're home.

I've never worked out before. Is this for me?

Yes. Your first plan starts with the basics, and we build from there as you get comfortable.

Do you offer in-person training?

Yes, if you live in the San Antonio area. In-person sessions are billed per session, on top of the monthly coaching rate. Check the San Antonio box on the application and we'll talk about it.

How soon will I hear back after I apply?

I read every application myself and usually reply within 48 hours.
