"I just wanted to send you a quick e-mail to let you know how much I appreciate your nutritional and fitness advice...
Since meeting with you I have so far dropped 16 pounds. More importantly, my blood cholesterol levels are now normal. I had stopped taking cholesterol medication in July in hopes that I could regulate it with diet and exercise. I went to see my doctor over the Christmas holidays to have my blood retested. Here are my new numbers.

Ratio = 6.3
LDL = 3.31
HDL = 0.89
Triglycerides = 3.17
Total cholesterol = 5.64

Needless to say this is a nice payoff.

The weight loss has made a significant difference [while cycling]. I use a Polar HRM when I ride that also gives me the cyclo-computer functions and altitude. It's a fantastic device. I am able to download the information from a ride into my computer to track progress. There are a couple of circuits that I ride specifically to track my progress. I didn't need the computer to tell me how much better I was riding. I could just feel the difference. I was able to maintain a lower (much more efficient) riding position for longer periods. When I compare my rides this year to the same rides at the same time of last year, my average speed is up by almost 3 KMh. This is in the same heart rate range, so it's not that I was working harder, just better. I have the HRM set so my target range is from 150 to 170 bpm. I like to ride at around 160 bpm. The biggest difference in feel on on hill climbing. When you think about it, the 16 pounds that I have lost is the equivilant to the weight of my bike.

The weather has been good. Last week I was able to get out three times."

"I was looking to get back into shape after a lengthy illness, but I was too intimidated to begin using the facilities on my own without guidance.  Fortunately, I encountered a friendly, young man by the name of Jason Haug who provided the requisite knowledge, enthusiasm and professionalism I desired from a personal trainer.  Jason assessed my fitness level and endeavoured to understand my fitness goals, my preferences (a training program including an elliptical workout would not draw me into a gym!) and my limitations, including time availability and previous injuries, when designing my workout. 

With this accomplished, Jason further displayed his professional aptitude by presenting me with a folder containing all of the information I needed.  He then guided me through the workout with a cheery smile and used thoughtful suggestions that I could easily remember, such as to approach the latt. pull down with a "chest puffed out like a robin".  Overall, I was pleased with Jason's services and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others"

  “I would highly recommend Jason Haug as a personal trainer. 

The workout that he designed for me has greatly helped me to achieve my personal goal of being very strong and toned.  He manages to override my little kid tendency to be easily bored with fun yet challenging exercises.  My favorites are the combination weight exercises as they make me feel like I am getting a lot of benefit out of less work (less time). 

Jason is a very responsible and attentive trainer.  During one of his very thorough health and fitness assessments he identified a couple of concerns and recommended that I consult my family physician.  Thanks to him, I am having a potentially very dangerous medical condition monitored by professional health care providers.  In addition, when I complained about persistent knee pain, Jason was quick to tailor my workout accordingly and followed up with genuine concern.

Thanks Jason!  See you at the gym!”

“Before meeting Jason I thought I knew what building muscle was all about. He taught me how important it was to work certain muscle groups that I didn’t feel made an impact on my overall strength, but have made a huge difference. He listened to my goals and made a great exercise routine for me to achieve them. He is very encouraging without being a ‘boot camp instructor’ type but doesn’t let you cut corners -which I realize I was doing a lot before meeting him. I wish I would have met Jason years ago because if I did, I know I would be in the body that always dreamed of now. I learned that It is never too late to get in shape!”

 "Jason changed the way I think about my body and about fitness.  I did not realize that I could get into such great shape!  I was living a very corporate and sedentary lifestyle and at the age of 28 I had ballooned to 300 pounds and I felt horrible.  After spending a few short weeks working with Jason I began to notice a huge impact on the way I look and the way I feel.  I followed a very strict diet, began swimming, and worked out with Jason 3 days a week.  I think anybody that really wants to make a positive change in their life should consider working with Jason.  You will discover strength that you have not felt in years.  It was the best money I ever spent.  I would strongly recommend Jason to anyone is looking to change their life!"

 "I have been training with Jason for 1 year and have found that his knowledge as a health consultant to be extremely in-depth.  Jason has a friendly professionalism that makes his sessions enjoyable and fulfilling.  I am definitely feeling better about my general health and I have Jason to thank for much of it. I’d recommend Jason to anybody wants to live a longer healthier life."

"A year and a half ago, I knew that I just had to do something to focus on my health and fitness. I decided that if I committed to meeting with a trainer a couple of times per week, I might stick with a workout routine. I was fortunate enough to be set up for a fitness assessment with Jason Haug. Although initially my attitude was less than enthusiastic, Jason had enough positive attitude for both of us! Jason really met me where I was - and always with a smile. By sticking to the program, I started to feel more fit and strong--much better than when I started! In the last 8 months, I have made health and fitness a priority in my life. With Jason as my partner in physical fitness and incredible supporter in my overall wellness, my vibrance, energy and fitness have just blossomed. My workouts are tougher then when we first started, but always fun--laughter is a key part of workouts with Jason! And, I feel the best I've felt for years!! With Jason's knowledge, passion, and positive attitude, I would recommend him as a personal trainer to anyone. You will always get 110%!"

"The benefits of my personal training with Jason weren’t what I expected. I never realized that it would impact my life in so many practical ways. I can now carry winter wheels for my cars from my storage shed that I couldn’t even lift before. And I can lift my barbecue off the deck, when I could barely budge it before. I can also eat much more delicious food and still stay in shape because of my increased metabolism. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to increase their quality of life."

"I've been working with Jason for the past year and have seen amazing results. I felt stronger and healthier. Jason is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm he brings to each session. His friendly personality creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. He makes each workout challenging, creative, suitable and most importantly, fun! He also places a high value on correct form with each exercise. He motivates me to push past my perceived limits to get results. Thanks Jason!"

"Have you ever felt like going to the gym was a chore? You know the benefits but you still don't like it!  I have...my solution - Jason Haug!

You see, I don't exercise anymore and I wasn't surprised when Jason had a questioning look on his face when I share this with him during my 1st consultation.  Why was I meeting with him if I don't exercise?  I proceeded in explaining to Jason that the word "exercise" was a bad word for me, it generates feelings of discouragement, apprehension and intimidation to name a few.  Since I don't like those feelings, I've decided to replace "exercising" with physical activities that bring me positive feelings such as joy, peacefulness and challenges, but I still needed some guidance so that I didn't huff & puff or feel lots of aches & pains after those activities.  That's where Jason came in.

Jason and I spent a few hours together, but in that short time, Jason delivered on exactly what I was looking for...
1-a better understanding of the relationship between nutrition and my body, and
2-a way to incorporate cardio and strength training to enhance my performance during my favourite activities (e.g. scuba diving, kickboxing, kayaking, biking, hiking and snowshoeing). 
Jason didn't disappoint me, on the contrary, he impressed me with his extensive knowledge of both nutrition and "exercise" AND his enthusiasm in finding me alternative ways of incorporating cardio and strength training in my life without going to the gym.  Now you have to love that!!!!

Thanks Jason!"

"I am so blessed to work in a company where there is a fitness area readily available for my usage whenever I would like, and on top of that to work with a trainer twice a week! When Jason first started working at our company, I was pretty intimidated and not at all interested in attending, but then when I heard how friendly and encouraging he was, I quickly changed my opinion. Working with Jason has improved my physique, confidence level, and my overall health. I had no idea that I could do what I have achieved with Jason, and I think that the only reason for that is that he believes in what he is teaching us. He knows what he is talking about and makes the exercises seem effortless which gives me confidence to do it on my own. I don’t know how he puts up with my complaining, but I have never seen him without a smile on his face. He’s a great person to work with and he has truly motivated me to become more aware of what I eat and how I treat my body.”
