Years of Experience

JOHN BURROWS/ CO-OWNER

John received his Associate’s degree in Exercise Science and a Bachelor’s degree in Health Behavior Science from the University of Delaware. Being a personal trainer for 18 years, John also teaches Introduction to Nutrition and Sports Nutrition as an adjunct instructor at Delaware Technical Community College.

John is currently in the process of redeveloping his training model for weight loss and chronic disease prevention and management. There is low success rate for weight loss, and the current weight loss models need to make major adjustments. After observing that most weight loss is short term and not being maintained, John is exploring a new horizon and is excited to be working with many experts in the
biological sciences. If you are currently struggling with your weight, have developed type 2 diabetes, or have had many failed attempts at losing weight, John is ready to take you to a new horizon and bring about the change that you have been waiting for.
