“Action Begets Momentum” – Jon loves this quote and feels it is especially applicable to exercise, training, and performance. 

Jon was educated at the University of British Columbia where he completed an Undergraduate Degree in Human Kinetics and then went on to complete a Masters of Science Degree specializing in Exercise Physiology. He was the co-founder of Groundwork Athletics back in 2006. Jon spent some time away from the fitness industry to pursue his passion for bikes (speciality bike retail 2017-2023) but he never lost his passion for health and fitness and continued pursuing excellence in those areas. In December 2023 he bought back the business he founded and couldn’t be happier to be back. 

While he no longer spends the hours on the training floor that he used, we do occasionally find him out there working with a few clients. Nowadays it’s usually cyclists of some sort, be they road or mountain bikers. Jon has always enjoyed challenging others to achieve their goals, and takes great pride in watching people achieve what they thought might not be possible.
