About
At Champion Lifestyle, coaching is practical and personal. We focus on movement quality, smart programming, and habits that fit real life — so you can get stronger, move better, and stay consistent.
Choose what fits: in-home sessions, in-gym training in Pasadena or Glendale, or virtual coaching with live form checks and instant cues. You'll get customized workouts, progress tracking, and coach accountability from day one.
Being a champion isn't about a stage or a scoreboard — it's a mindset you practice daily. My coaching gives you the structure and accountability to turn those choices into habits.

I’ve been working with Johnny for over 3 years. He’s trained me before, during, and after my pregnancy. At almost 32 years old I’m not only in the best shape of my life but I’m stronger and more agile than I’ve ever been. He’s the best. I’m forever grateful!

Johnny is awesome with technique and his way of teaching. It’s very comprehensive and easy to follow. He pays great attention to details in my training and corrects me from wrong forms constantly. I feel my life is on track with the training with him. I highly recommended him to everyone that I know.

I’ve been training with Johnny for about a year now. Before training with him I would consistently have knee pain when working out. He was aware of this and began implementing exercises that would help strengthen my knees and hips so that I would no longer have this problem. He also taught me specific ways of foam rolling to target the problem areas. These things have changed my life because now I am able to lift heavier and challenge myself without worrying about injuring myself...

I’ve been training with Johnny for about two years. With my back pains, broken wrist and torn MCL he’s been very strategic with the kind of workouts that we do to strengthen those problem areas. He’s very knowledgeable, which is shown with the countless certificates and dedication to continue learning. You’re guaranteed to have a great workout with Johnny.

One of the absolute greatest. I've been training with Johnny for almost 7 years and he has continuously kept me on my toes, and in great shape. He has proven himself to be able to turn on a dime with my training and cater to whatever he feels I need that day. Whether it's boxing weight training, cardio conditioning or rehabilitation, Johnny is your guy.

Great trainer, worked with me after surgery and was able to tailor the workouts to my needs and restrictions to get me back in shape. I continue to train with him now and am getting stronger every day. Highly recommend!
