John Reed Fitness

Fantastic experience: John has been my trainer for the last few years. Workouts with him have been tailored to my needs and limitations. His understanding of the bio mechanics of the human body and resistance training makes it possible for him to tailor exercises to specifically target areas which need work. Highly recommend more beneficial than going to a physical therapist.

Fantastic experience: Reed Elite Training has been a beacon for my health journey now for years and I highly recommend their very specialized training for anyone seeking work out habits specific to you. From my experience, John Reed and his staff have a very tailored approach that takes in to account the many contributing factors that make up our total health today while balancing this against a realistic approach to achieving your goals. I feel lucky to have found this team! Give them a try! You won’t be sorry.

Fantastic experience: John has a deeper understand of exercise and the human body than you might expect from a personal trainer. He has been able to help me work around old injuries and spinal stenosis. He knows many ways to strengthen and stabilize the body and can use this knowledge to come up with a personalized workout to meet your development and rehab goals. He's been working with me for years and I have no plans to stop.

Fantastic experience: John is a fantastic trainer, physiotherapist, and a thorough professional. His evaluation methods are deep and the exercise plans are thorough. Results will be felt by the people (in this case myself) if we follow his routine. More importantly he is a great person to hang out with and a well rounded person who has values & zest for life. I will recommend John to anyone irrespective of your goal, age, and ability. Love John and his elite training program.

Fantastic experience: My neck had been bothering me on and off for a couple years until I finally made some appointments with John at Reed Elite Training. John was extremely professional, and tailored several exercises specifically to the muscle groups I was having problems with. He also showed me how I can modify those exercises to do them at home with minimal equipment. My neck has had massive improvements, and most importantly, it's not keeping me away from the activities I love to do anymore. I can't recommend John enough.

Fantastic experience: John and his exercise techniques have been a muscle savior for me so many times. I have a tendency to trigger back issues due to bad posture. John will skillfully guide with the right set of activation exercises for immediate and long standing relief. He also provides exercise tips to continue at home to help with pain relief and recovery. My overall stamina, strength and fitness have also improved significantly after I started training with him, thanks to his customized workout routines. His gym is a friendly non-intimidating space and John and his team make sure to put everyone at ease. Gym time at Reed fitness center is a fun time for me and family.

Fantastic experience: I’m impressed with John Reed’s knowledge of both exercise training and dealing with physical limitations and injuries. I’m a 72 years old female with hip dysplasia, and neck and spine issues. John has identified muscles that support those areas and we are strengthening them. I’m also able to strength train with John and feel confident that my workout will improve my body and not cause injury because he understands my physical issues. I feel like I’m getting a professional exercise trainer and a physical therapist in one. I highly recommend Reed Elite Training.

Fantastic experience: John met my lifting goal head on. We talked about realistic numbers and the timeline to hit them, and I ended up hitting those goals months earlier than I expected. He’s attentive and knowledgeable, and was able to address specific issues I had and improve them. He’s a really good choice to help you meet your goals and keep you motivated.

Fantastic experience: Strength training at its best. I get a personal trainer whose focus is entirely on my needs and goals. I’m not young anymore but Reed’s Elite Training is helping me grow and strengthen so I will able to enjoy my senior years. The results are real. Just what I want. Excellence.

Fantastic experience: Been training with John for just over a year now, it’s the most consistent I’ve been with working out! Super knowledgeable, can answer any question I have and break it down so a beginner in the gym world like me can understand. His workouts are great, and I appreciate how he tailors exercises to your needs. I’m definitely stronger as a result! He’s the best, I can’t recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: John is excellent to work with; he is incredibly knowledgeable and personable, and tailors programs to your specific needs. I've worked with several trainers over the past few years in the Bellevue and Redmond area, and John is the best personal trainer I've had. As much as I hate exercising, he's really good at keeping me moving and motivated.

Fantastic experience: John is the best personal trainer in the Bellevue area. He has had to create workouts around my broken hip, various surgeries as well as chronic issues my old body has dealt with. 1 on 1 in his gym is great and we can really focus on my workouts. I get a unique workout every week. Wouldn't train with anyone else.

Fantastic experience: Terrific. The best personal trainer in Bellevue, in my opinion. Unlike other trainers whose 'personalized' workout is a cookie-cutter sheet of exercises that applies to everyone, John offers a truly bespoke experience, customizing my workout to my needs, goals and limitations.

Fantastic experience: John has been training me since six months and it’s been fantastic so far. He is thorough, detail oriented and tailors the exercises to your needs. His instructions are something you can remember for life because of the way he explains them with visuals. I would recommend John to anyone who is looking to get started on fitness.

Fantastic experience: Post jiujitsu training on my 59th birthday. Fitness isn't simply what you do but who you are. John Reed helps bring that out in personal training that drives the physical exercise. He knows that attitude eats reps for breakfast. At my age, it's all about optimal performance to enjoy the good life in the best health. To date, I've achieved excellent gains in strength, speed and stamina with no injury and minimal soreness. John's approach can be summarized as: 1.) THINK BIG 2.) START SMALL 3.) INCREMENT YOUR WAY THERE

Fantastic experience: John is an experienced and caring professional. He will develop and implement an exercise and fitness plan that is tailored specifically to you. His knowledge of functional anatomy and physiology is astounding and he applies that knowledge with precise expectations and results. John has the experience, expertise and know how to help you achieve your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: I’m a type 1 diabetic who had really poor blood glucose level control. When my wife and I found out that we were expecting, I wanted to take control of my health and be there for my daughter as she grows up. Since I started working out with John, I’ve lost 20 lbs and my blood glucose levels have been amazing. This may be more relevant for diabetics but my last HbA1c was 5.6, the lowest I’ve ever had in my 22 years of being a diabetic :). John is very knowledgeable and explains the technique and reasoning behind each workout thoroughly. His guidance on nutrition and on maintaining a healthy lifestyle has kept me motivated and has had a tremendous effect on my overall health. l’ve had nothing but a positive experience throughout this time. Each session with John is not only challenging but fun too. He is very easy to talk with and that makes hard workouts a tad easier :). If you’re looking for a trainer who tailors workouts to suit your individual needs and makes you a healthier you, just reach out to John. I guarantee that you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with John for over three years. I am a 50+ year old man with multiple dinged up body parts. John always comes up with new and different exercises/lifts to achieve our workout goals, without aggravating my problem areas (ankle, knee, shoulder). He takes time away from the gym to research the most effective ways to work around my difficulties, and is always coming in with new exercises. Training with John is fun and always ends up being the best part of my day. This is a career for John, not a job, and he treats it and his clients as such. I think every one of his clients considers him a good friend, not just a personal trainer. I consider John my personal trainer, nutritionist, life counselor, and a great friend. You won't find a better trainer or person than John.

Fantastic experience: John Reed is motivated to motivate you. He'll pretty much customize your training to fit your needs. Need nutritional advice? He's got a plan for you. Want to lose weight or bulk up? He will help you with your goals. Just want to get stronger or learn correct weight lifting technique? He'll help you with that, too. I've been working out with John for a couple of years and even when I'm tired or not looking forward to working out after work, John's attitude and energy always makes it worthwhile. He's a certified Master Trainer and he's always learning new things to share with his clients. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: John was my trainer for over 3 years. Many trainers or books can teach you proper form, but John's positive attitude and encouragement are what make him a great trainer. He encouraged me while I trained for a half and full marathon and adjusted my weight training and cross training sessions accordingly. He helped me train for a Tough Mudder. I would go back to him in a heartbeat if I could, but he has given me the tools and confidence to do it on my own.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with John for 5 months and the results have been astounding. I was nervous to start lifting after I herniated two discs, L4 and L5 in January 2015. In March 2016 I hired John with the intent of recovering after my injury. Amazingly, I'm stronger than ever and able to do lifts I never thought I'd be able to do again, like squats and deadlifts. I'm confident that this was only possible with John's coaching and programming tailored to my specific goals and injury history. I would not have been able to do this without him. Now people complement my form, calling it "perfect" and "textbook." John is an excellent trainer, always encouraging, and was very patient with me and my injury. If you are looking to get into strength training or weight lifting, especially if you have had an injury in the past, John is your guy.

Fantastic experience: Best trainer in Bellevue. I had personal trainers for the past 13 years, but never stayed with the same trainer for more than 6 months until I started training with John Reed. John makes trainer exciting, challenging, and fun. He challenges me and makes sure I get the results that I want. He is also very knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition. He customized a nutrition plan, and along with his workout plan, now I am stronger, leaner, and I live a healthier life style. I have been training with Jon Reed for almost 3 years, and I appreciate everything he has done for me. He is great listener, treats his clients as friends, and truly cares about me achieving my goals.

Fantastic experience: John Reed will change your life. I started training with John in 2012 after struggling to find the experience I was looking for with other trainers. John was a young, new trainer at the gym and I wasn't sure what to expect, but was immediately blown away by his energy, professionalism and knowledge. Over the following two-and-a-half years, John's training became a cornerstone of my fitness regimen. John didn't just give me a cookie-cutter workout plan, he personalized every workout to my goals and needs and came in every week with new information, techniques and tips and incorporated them into our sessions. He has a limitless desire to learn and passes that knowledge on to his clients; he's constantly accumulating new information about fitness, nutrition and motivation and using what he learns to improve his clients' lives. When you train with John, you don't just get a tough workout, you get so much more. He'll help you get your nutrition on point. He'll teach you recovery techniques to make sure you're getting the most out of your gym sessions. He'll help you discover a positive outlook that will take over every day of your life. You'll find yourself noticing the positive effects of his training 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you're serious about your health, your fitness, your nutrition and your life, you owe it to yourself to have John Reed as your coach guiding the way.

Fantastic experience: By far the best trainer I have ever met! I have been working with John for a few years now and continue to be impressed with his ability to stay at the forefront of the health and fitness industry. John has truly helped me see my potential and has played a key role in my journey to live a healthier lifestyle. If you are looking for someone who will listen to your goals, create a plan to achieve them and really help you get and stay there, he is the one. He is a great listener, highly educated in his space and very motivated to help others achieve their goals. He is not a cheerleader...he is a coach. Always energetic, happy and encouraging... I would highly recommend him no matter where you are in your journey. I lost over 30lbs in the first 8 months with him and have kept it off for over a year and a half now! He is awesome!!

Fantastic experience: Training with John has made a huge difference in my life. He worked with me to put together a fitness plan based on where I was and where I wanted to be. Now I feel strong and healthy - I don't even recognize older photos of myself. Throughout the process, John has been there guiding, motivating, informing and protecting me. He's really a good choice for a knowledgeable and engaging professional to help you get into the shape you want to be.
