Testimonials
Jackie Edwards
“Jon is one of the best strength coaches that I had in my 17 year pro career. In preparation for both the ’07 World Championships and the ’08 Olympics he worked with me a lot on my technique, especially in the Olympic lifts and really helped me maximize my power and explosiveness. He definitely knows his stuff and somehow managed to make the even toughest workouts a lot of fun.
Not only was Jon extremely knowledgeable, but he really put a lot of time and effort into tailoring my workouts specifically to meet my needs. I was just as strong and explosive at 37 as I was at 27 and I attribute much of that to the work we did together. I now have a 16-year-old son who decided to compete in track as well and I’ve called Jon again to design an age/event specific weight room program. It’s only been 3-4 months and I can already see the major gains my son has made. I would highly recommend Jon to anyone who wants results and is serious about their training!”

Jon is an excellent trainer. He became my trainer when I was a junior in high school and stayed with me all throughout college. I played volleyball at a very high level and was the starting setter for USC women’s indoor volleyball. The skills and fundamentals Jon taught me in the gym helped me compete at a very high level as was as maintain a healthy body.
My speed, weight room positioning and agility was well beyond others within my program. He taught me how to safely lift, which I brought and carried with me throughout college. His ability to create programs built around the specific abilities that are needed per position/sport is incredible. He’s really professional about his work, and super responsive if you have any questions. He works hard and as a high level athlete, it was something I looked for in a trainer. Jon knew the standard I was trying to achieve and he helped me get there, and would be perfect for any high school, college or even professional athletes.

“I worked with Jon throughout my four years of college and told him on Day 1 that I wanted to play professional soccer in the MLS. I felt that I not only needed to gain around 15 pounds of weight but also needed to improve my footwork and agility. Jon put a tremendous amount of time and energy in to my career and is a huge reason why I am fulfilling my ambitions with the Seattle Sounders. I can't thank him enough or give him enough recognition.”

“When Jon first started training me in the spring of 2010, my vertical jump measured at 10'4", and by the summer of 2012 my jump increased to 10'7". In my short time training with Jon, he helped increase my vertical jump tremendously with his focus on being compact, fast, and explosive while training, which also helped increase my overall strength and athleticism. Jon provided the perfect training that would prepare our team to perform at our best, and eventually win a national championship in our 2011 season.”

“During my career at UCLA, I was lucky enough to have Coach Fussell as my athletic and strength training coach. From the first year to the last, I saw a consistent and progressive increase in my strength, athleticism, and capabilities as a track and field athlete. Upon graduating from UCLA, I have continued to compete on the professional track and field circuit. Much of my success is in large part due to Coach Fussell's continued help and his training programs. Coach Fussell's exceptional coaching abilities and his extensive knowledge in athletic training truly sets him apart as an elite level trainer and coach.”

“I started working with Fussell in the summer of 2011. Upon my initial arrival I would describe myself as a mediocre athlete, that lacked explosiveness and power. I was able to get by, but I had always wondered what my true potential was. I was able to talk to Coach Fussell about my feelings, and he was extremely patient and kind towards my concerns. He worked to create a plan that would focus on a combination of resistance training to increase strength, and HIIT sessions to increase my cardio and all-around conditioning. I was only able to work with Fussell for approximately 1.5 years, but within that time my life completely changed; suddenly I had dropped almost 20 pounds while still increasing my muscle mass, I was able to increase my vertical by over 4 inches, and had transformed from an average player to a First Team All-American. Since this time I have worked with several different strength and conditioning coaches, including those in my professional career and through the Canadian National Team program. Not one of them has been able to get the results that Fussell got with me and made me feel as empowered and confident as both an athlete and an individual. Because of this, he is now the only strength and conditioning coach I will be working with, until my career is finished.”

My experience with Jon Fussell Training was incredible. Jon completely transformed my athleticism and body from the beginning of my freshman year in high school, to where I am now, playing division 1 basketball at Baylor. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Jon and his training. I highly recommend Jon Fussell Training!

Jon helped me train during my recruiting process in high school and then through my experience playing college level volleyball. He helped prepare me for scouting and then was available during all of my college breaks to prepare me for season all-year-long. Overall, his training allowed me to take on four years of college volleyball with strength and resilience Thanks to his training, I was able to create a strong base and healthy habits that made it possible for me to never have and injury in my high school or college career that stopped me from playing a game.

I have had the privilege of working with Jon for nearly a decade. He first served as my strength coach during my time playing football at UCLA, where his knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to push athletes to their limits stood out immediately.
Since transitioning to my career in real estate, he's continued to train me personally for over five years. His programming has evolved with my changing goals—from maintaining athleticism to building resilience for a demanding lifestyle as an executive. He's helped me prioritize functional movement patterns that make everyday activities easier and more efficient, while significantly improving my overall strength—with a particular emphasis on progressing my bench press to numbers I never imagined.
He's professional, adaptable, and genuinely invested in my long-term health and performance. I couldn't recommend him more highly!
