Johannes has been training me for 2months now and it is crazy to believe what I've accomplished with his support and encouragement. In the beginning, I thought I was going to died haha and felt like impossible to accomplish my goals. I was getting scare to go in on the first week because I had to step out of my comfort zone. I knew I was lazy and eating unhealthy and there's no way I could motivate myself to exercise regularly. Johannes guided me through and demonstrated well with how to proceed with each sets of exercise safely. Now I'm looking forward to meet with him each time, knowing I am getting closer and closer with my goals. I am so glad I found him to train me not only physically and also mentally to build my confident to be my daughters' role model. Now My energy level increased and getting used to cutting down on junky. Thank youuuu ! read more

I feel so happy to have found Johannes. He offers 1 on 1 sessions or semi-personal aka group training. I had the 1 on 1 sessions. I've had my share of below par personal training sessions with other personal trainers. He is an amazing personal trainer and here are some reasons why. - his schedule is flexible (AM sessions available) - he explains the technical part of the work out (prevents injuries) - he's extremely attentive and motivating. These qualities are essential to have in a personal trainer.. otherwise, what's the point? - he holds you accountable (asks for photos of your supplements and meals) - he's personable and honest My fitness goal of getting more toned was reached! I would highly recommend him! read more

I really enjoy working out with Johannes. He's a great, inventive trainer who has a holistic approach to fitness and wellness. I admire the way he changes up workouts to keep it feeling different and challenging. We initially started working out with him with the basic want of getting in shape. Simply, help make us healthier! Now that we're on our way, and it's been a journey, we're starting to get more specific with our needs and Johannes wants to help us get there. He's always giving us feedback and asking for it in return, making the training process a healthy, collaborative effort. He cares about his clients and wants them to succeed, whatever that looks like to each individual is important to him to know and check in with. It's a comprehensive approach to physical wellness and body awareness. I look forward to our workouts! It's a challenging process and the support you will get with Johannes is awesome. Highly recommend! read more

Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, fitness trainer Johannes (Jo) was truly the motivational, positive light that I needed. From April 2020 through August 2020, my boyfriend and I hopped on weekly zoom meetings to get our fitness fix with Jo. He mixes up the workout routine each time and uses creativity to variate and make each session interesting. It definitely kept me on my toes! I enjoyed every single session. Even when I was sweating and struggling, Jo continously told me how great I was doing and told me I'm almost on the next round already. And when my form wasn't correct, he would gently tell me how to fix it (hips down, land gently, etc.). Professional yet fun! I would highly recommend his services. read more

I am so grateful to be able to work with Coach Johannes on my fitness journey! He is an *awesome* trainer! I have been working out with him since end of November 2018, so it has been over a year! He is so knowledgeable and I am constantly learning new ways to train! It feels so good to be strong! It has been a wonderful collaboration. It is teamwork for sure. He's an excellent trainer, and if you are willing to take it seriously and work with him, you will certainly get results! Johannes will monitor your progress, and tailor your workouts to help you keep progressing! I have two grown daughters, and feel better than ever! You can too! I highly recommend Johannes! I hope to be working out with him for a long time to come! I give him 5 gold stars rating... happy customer! read more

See all

Just started working out with Jo last week! First went through a comprehensive assessment BMI, water intake, metabolism. Next I told him that my lower back is always tight and right away focused on that problem through core exercises, stretches and taught me how to use the foam roller. You'll gain lots of knowledge working with this guy and he will customize your workout plan to your specific needs. If you're in the Pasadena area you definitely should book your sessions with him before he gets too busy! read more

I'm super grateful I reached out to Coach Jo and help this super busy menopausal momma! In my late 40's struggling with weight, lack of mobility and strength. Jo is patiently teaching me through his methods how to effectively his each exercise and have a great workout. He meets you at your level and gives modifications when needed. Super encouraging and fun to work with. I highly recommend his training and allow him to help you meet your health goals. read more

I started training with Johannes on April 1st. He went through and did an hours long assessment on me which included a bit of training, measurements, nutrition counseling and my goals. I let him know I had a previous twisted ankle and he made sure to always be aware of it during each session. Within 3 weeks, he was able to help me lose 7% body fat while gaining 10 pounds of muscle. Each week he goes through and re does all your measurements to track your progress and discuss how you are doing. He's been awesome, especially since I'm currently injured and had to put a hold on my training. He has always made sure to check up on me and provide encouragement throughout my current injury. Looking forward to getting back to it with him! read more

I have been lucky to have wonder trainers through out the years. When my last trainer who I worked with for 6 years decided to change his career, he recommended Johannes. Johannes can push me hard and encourage me to push my limit. He cares about his clients alot, I enjoy working out with him. read more

Johannes is my trainer and I trained with other trainer in the past; however, Johannes is the BEST. Let me tell you why: I had knee problem and lower back issues. Both problem got so much improve after training with him. He knows the tricks how to improve/ strengthen your body ache and muscle pain through training. Yea, believe me I still feel sore here and there after training with him every single session; but I don't feel the pain. So, I call it training not working out. In addition, I realize how important core is after training with him; if you want to tone up your body or even lost weight, you gotta start from core training. Plus, you will be able to see the result after a month if you train with him like me at least here times a week. read more

I absolutely love the amount of knowledge and care this company has for people. They treat every client with the upmost respect! The owner has an amazing mindset and is incredibly knowledgeable. The workouts I have participated in have been phenomenally butt kicking!!! I have never left a workout without feeling absolutely owned by both the targeted muscle group training and individualized instruction. Thank you so much!!! read more

Jo is one of the best trainers I have ever had the pleasure of working with! I am a physical therapist and I am always amazed by his creativity to facilitate my body and functional goals. He is extremely kind and motivational in all the best ways. Despite the madness of 2020 and Covid-19, he has managed to keep me motivated and in shape. His workouts are built around a foundation of family/community, professionalism, and some humor as well. He has found a great way to bring the gym to you as well if you so choose; he has a setup connected to his car. You will feel safe working out with him as he is on top of safety/social distancing. As a physical therapist, I loved how his mindset/style always incorporates correct body mechanics/form around functional goals, so that I am not lifting just for the sake of lifting - the workouts contribute to what I need to perform better on a daily and recreational level. I highly recommend Jo if you want to get in shape the right way. No gimmicks or shortcuts. You will feel accomplished when you're done. Go Jo! read more

One day I told myself.. it's time for me to shine!! I've been training with Johaness 2 month now, and believe he is one of the most experienced & committed trainers around. I started training twice a week, and I really enjoyed the variety & challenge he put into the sessions & two weeks ago.. I started training 3 times per week. Johaness is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging.. My fitness has increased noticeably and I've seen improvements in my ability to complete more sit ups / core exercises, lift progressively heavier weights & generally push myself harder throughout each session. I find I actually look forward to my workouts. Johaness ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries. Before my workout section.. I'm always ready to start training!!. Once again Johaness, thank you and I can't wait for my workoutt on Saturday!! Oh yeah!!!! read more

Started working with Johannes about a month ago. We've been working on range of motion and unlearning all of the badge habits I've developed over the years. My back has gotten a lot stronger and neck pain is decreasing. Will continue to update, but very happy with my results thus far! read more

Coach Jo has it going on! ;D He helped me reach my physical health goal needs to a stable back after having a motorcycle accident a year and half before. I had bad posture before the accident & after my motorcycle accident it was worse. Thanks to coach Jo I have been able to improve my posture & weight, continue working on it with what I learned/learn and the great tips he gives to help you reach your physical health goals. He worked with me on my weakness areas first, I appreciate that because it's like setting a foundation with our body's physical stability/gait. Foremost communicates well. I feel the benefits from working with coach Jo. Thank you! -Kay Lemus read more

I highly recommend Johannes. He is an amazing, positive leader, genuine, honest, energetic, experienced trainer. Not only was I overweight, he helped me get through my back issues and modified my training until I was able to progress to a level I never thought possible and helped me bring down my fat loss. I am much stronger and he cares for his clients success. I struggled with anxiety and depression and his methods helped decrease it all for the 7 months working with him. Exercise is now my meditation and now I'm much more confident-mother of 3 who can expedite much faster than before and I'm very blessed to train with him. Losing weight helped me nail an amazing job I never thought possible so I'm thankful for his motivation and support. He will get you there but you need to do the work too. He helped me lose the last 30 lbs and I couldn't be more proud. He's awesome and amazing:) read more

I've always been the type of person that needed motivation to work out and always steered towards group fitness classes. However, I wasn't seeing the results I wanted. That's when I made the decision to start training with Johannes. Since I started training with him, I've noticed a difference in my posture and feel stronger than ever. I'm so happy with the progress I've made and am excited about continuing my fitness journey with him. Johannes challenges me to push past my limits, is encouraging and attentive. He puts a lot of emphasis on strengthening your weaknesses, having the right form/technique and will always modify to accommodate any injuries (which I've been prone to). Beyond that, he is super passionate about his work and genuinely interested in helping people make sustainable lifestyle changes. My only regret is that I didn't start training with him sooner, so what are you waiting for? Whatever your goal is, Johannes will help you get there! read more

I've been training with Johannes for over 6 months now and I absolutely love his training style! I'm no fitness expert, but I'd probably call it the Coach JO fat burner muscle builder circuit kick-your-butt training. HAHA. Over a year ago, I broke my foot and had multiple surgeries. I decided to try a different approach to training since I had gained weight and lost a lot of muscle mass during my recovery period. I was determined to get back into shape and wanted faster results to look and feel at my best. Within the first 3 months of training with Johannes, I lost 2.5 inches around my waist and 13% body fat. I didn't think much of it until my family and friends started complimenting me that I'm looking fitter these days. YAS! I am definitely happy with my results right now and can't wait to see more as I continue my fitness journey! I want ABS next. #goals I never realized how important it was to have proper form when working out. I have experienced pain on my wrist and shoulders doing planks and pushups and didn't realize it was due to improper form. Johannes took the time to correct and remind me that it was very important to do proper forms during workouts to help prevent injuries. I also used to train at the gym by myself and believe me it's hard to stay motivated at times. You'll never feel that way with Johannes. He keeps you motivated with his training methods and personalizes them depending on your personal goals, so no workout is exactly the same. Aside from just working out, Johannes helped me with my meal plans and provided nutritional tips. Exercising was just one aspect of losing weight, getting fitter, etc... while eating was the other part that helped me achieved my desired goal. Though, it'd be awesome if all I could do was exercise and eat anything that was in sight!!! I feel great and I'm getting better and stronger with each workout session. I TRULY have Coach Jo to thank for it. He's helped me improve my endurance, lose body fat, and build strength. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Johannes for those that are looking for a trainer! read more

Love working with Johannes! He's a wealth of information and really helps to ensure you have a great form! My workouts are better because of his expertise read more

I have been a long time client of Johannes! He is very detail oriented and changes up the work outs to cater to each clients needs. He focuses on improving your weaknesses and highlighting your strengths. Jo provides great feedback and education to help you along the way. Without him pushing me to work on my weaknesses (upper body ), I would never do so. I took a little hiatus, but has recently returned to training. Being extra cautious, Johannes keeps his clients to a minimum each session and sanitizes the equipment between and after uses! He also offers online zoom classes that is more flexible for those working 9-5! read more

I want to start off with thanking Johannes for being the greatest trainer I've ever worked with. He is encouraging and very attentive to my form and technique. Once you work with him, you can tell that he is passionate with what he does and that he's in it to help you lose weight, build strength and confidence. I kid you not, I haven't hit the gym in decades and when first I started working out with him, I couldn't even finish my routine! But after 10 weeks, I've gained muscle and lost 15 lbs and 6% body fat. Now I feel more confident than ever, have lots of energy and look forward to shedding more pounds. If you are looking for a trainer, Johannes is the perfect one for you!! read more

Johannes has been my trainer for about a year now and he's kept me in shape ever since and even helped me drop some pounds for my wedding day. There is no better trainer than Johannes and thanks to him I look and feel great again!!! read more

I've never really worked out much at ALL in my life, so deciding to train three times a week was a big change for me. I was hesitant at first and didn't think I would stick with it. It's been over one month and I can't imagine ever stopping now! So it looks like he has a client for life! Coach Jo is extremely patient and motivating. You can definitely tell he's passionate about what he does. So if you're looking for coach that will give you results and actually cares about your well being, train with him! read more

Jo is an awesome and attentive trainer. I hope to continue training with him! My husband and I have injuries and he has worked around them.

I just came here for my first time last week and let me just tell you, I left wanting more! After discussing my fitness goals and everyday diet, we did not waste another minute. My hour session included workouts I've never done before such as circuit training and battle rope training. Before I knew it, the hour had passed and I felt very accomplished. We ended the session with stretching that he provided leaving me feeling complete. I recommend Teamxplosive Fitness Training to everyone and anyone looking to work on a better self. My trainer Johannes made the training that much better because I actually felt like he cared about my progress and performance. Look forward to my next session! read more

I have been actively exercising for over 10 years and have been a member of numerous commercial gyms. These "GYMS" had the best and up-to-date equipments. It looked appealing. But one thing was missing every time I stepped through those doors, MOTIVATION. Coach Jo and his team from TEAMXPLOSIVE FITNESS TRAINING will help you find that. Through Jo's leadership and motivational skills I was able to increase my muscular and cardiovascular endurance. I have gained knowledge of proper form and technique to reduce risks of injury. He understands what each client needs and what their limits are. I have been very impressed by his passion to help his clients and the connection he has with them. He encourages and motivates everyone to do better. It is a great facility with good people and positive vibes! What more can you ask for? read more

January 10, 2015 was the day I decided to take a leap of faith to become a better version of myself. It was a foggy and rainy morning and what I was accustom to was to sleep in on a Saturday. I remembered that a few days before, I had promised my friend Raisa I would work out with her, so I got up feeling excited to do something productive. That day I was introduced to Coach Johannes to do fitness trainings at the park. I remember he had set up work out stations and everybody who attended that day was so energetic and welcoming. Jo enthusiastically said, "What?!... you guys thought I was going to cancel the training because it was raining?" Everybody just started giggling in the background. The first day I trained with TeamXplosive, I got home, laid on the couch and I couldn't move not even 1 finger the rest of the day. However, even from the struggle and pain from my first workout, I was inspired to keep going because I had never seen someone like Coach Jo and his team so passionate, dedicated and supportive, and from there I knew I wanted to be part of it. The beginning of my journey was very difficult. I wasn't capable of doing a push up or any intense workout. Though it was tough, Jo was always being attentive with each one of us making sure he had a modified workout that worked in our benefit and til this day, 2 years later, he remains being attentive with our needs. With Jo's trainings and being part of TeamXplosive, I have the confidence to work harder physically and have a more optimistic outlook with my new lifestyle. Having positive, supporting people around me, I was willing to do this and I knew it required patience, commitment and positive attitude. The positive attitude was not there all the time. Growing up I was criticized by my family members. They will tell me "you look too fat" or "those clothes don't look good on you" and that has been one of my biggest struggles throughout my life and truthfully, till to this day. This new fitness journey, I'm learning to love myself as I am and I'm taking baby steps to change all the negative thoughts I have and start living happily for me and no on else. One of my main goals is to help men and women by supporting them and be a living proof that it is possible to change physically and be emotionally better. I want to teach them that change starts in your mind, followed by accepting help from amazing people like team x plosive, a awesome coach like jo and to have a supportive system, like friends and family. I want them to turn those negative comments into motivation to heal and work even harder to prove those who thought otherwise, wrong! I want them to feel encourage, empowered, confident that anything they put their mind to, they're capable of it. read more

Johannes is great to work with. He is very attentive, supportive and committed to helping you achieve your fitness/health goals. He explains every movement, what muscles are worked and why you're doing them. He also takes the time to answer any questions you have about your workouts. It's challenging, but a lot of fun! read more

Also not to mention he works with my schedule having a pretty hetic schedule he tries his best to fit you in his!!!! Thanks coach i recommend you to all of the people trying to loose weight and want a good environment here's the place to be!!!! #coachjo read more

I've been working out with Coach Jo for almost 2 years now! Possibly more when he used to have outdoor Coaching. I truly love coming back here. It's definitely not the same as if you would take a workout session at a 24 hour fitness. You'll have more one to one to help you do the proper body techniques or used of the equipments correctly. Another thing, I like about Jo, he is not intimidating to ask any questions and every session, there's always something new! You get to experiment and try different types of levels of workout. I LOVE it! It keeps you PUMPIN! Unlike Zumba classes at 24 hour fitness, it's all repeat! I honestly didn't see it after 2 years, I realized that I am going nowhere and my body stayed the same. Once I started working out with Jo, my life has changed. I felt like I was in High School (10 years ago). I felt stronger, more energy, increased my strength, self confidence, slept better and surprisingly I wake up earlier! Plus, you meet new friends who has the same goals as you! What's better than that?! (; THANK YOU JO for always keeping us motivated and giving us confidence! And I greatly recommend to give him a try! You won't regret it! (= read more

My coach, Johannes, he is a very nice person. I am a Chinese girl and I have been training with him since June 2016. I have to say he is really patient and easy going person! In case of some time I might misunderstanding his instructions(sorry about my language barrier), he always show me the movement first. That makes me feel more confident and comfortable to finish his task everyday. He always start with the warm up and finish with the stretching, which makes you get ready for everyday's training. I am so happy to meet Johannes as my personal trainer. And I already see big improvement of myself. My husband and my friends said so. What more, my body fat percentage is 25% when I become train with Johannes, and right now is 17.12%. I am pretty sure I will be training with Johannes in the future to get a better me! read more

Tried this boot camp out after a friends recommendation... After a little over 3 weeks i was able to shred some weight (152lbs to 147lbs) while gained some strength and energy. Im so proud of myself... definitely a good jumpstart for my goal to have that beach body by summer time. Thanks a bunch, Jo! read more

Coach Jo is the total definition of a consummate professional! He focuses on correct form which is so important in preventing injures. I really like his workouts because they are intense and really make me sweat. He really pushes me to consistently challenge myself. When I train with him I always know what time it is..."Xplosive Time". read more

I've been working out with Coach Jo for about 1 year and he's AWESOME. He not only gives you great motivation, he also helps build you confidence and assist you with meal plan options. I've always been an active person, so workout isn't foreign to me. Prior to working out with Coach Jo, my workout consist of just running on the treadmill and routine circuits; the typical go to the gym and go home routine. Nothing too exciting or consistent. After training with Coach Jo, I noticed a difference in my step. His routines are challenging both mentally and physically. With all the new challenges, I also became more excited and confident about working out. I started looking forward to working out and seeing how I can improve my physique and mind set. I wasn't the only one noticing a difference, my friends and family also noticed. They complimented on my "tone arms/legs" and positive attitude. Recently, I found out my husband and I are expecting. Besides being super supportive, he's also continue to challenge me while making sure I stayed safe in my workouts. THANKS COACH JO!!! read more

This team has an exercise program for anybody, any level. They offer free physical evaluation + session to 1st timers!

This review is way past due. I have been training with Johannes for almost a year now and I have truly enjoyed my sessions with him. He has taught me how to properly train with weights and build my stamina it's all about the technique. He listens to what your goals are and puts a personal touch to your training. I've enjoyed working out with him so much that I have my 11 year old twin sons work with him to build agility and endurance with foot mobility training and and strengthening. They really like learning from Johannes. I recommend meeting and letting Johannes know what your goals are so he can personalize your fitness regimen. read more

I have been training with Jo for over a year now both privately and in group. I like both methods because I feel Jo is able to give me the personal attention needed even when we are in group setting. He is very encouraging and always pushes you to your limits in a respectful manner. I have recommended Jo to my family and friends, they love his style and the results he accomplishes. Best trainer on the planet. read more

Coach Jo is a great trainer. Highly recommended if you want to take your fitness goals to the next level. His workouts are fun and keep you motivated. 5 stars read more

Johannes is an awesome trainer! I have been working out with him for a bit now, but it is great to have a coach that tries and understands your goals. He is great to work with and certainly motivates you. I have loss about 5% body fat in less than a month, so I know he certainly was pushing me out of my comfort zone. I highly recommend working with Johannes, he really looks out for you. read more

I've never really considered personal training before Johannes. I was recommended to him by a friend and I'm so glad I did it! He's very attentive and really takes the time to assess what areas could use improvement. I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about exercise and form considering my athletic background, but Jo would call me out and teach me better techniques on how to approach certain exercises. I've learned proper breathing and how to really engage certain muscles, like my back, to get the full benefits of each exercise. The proper breathing helped me out tremendously! I really felt the difference in my lifts! I really recommend Jo for people of all activity levels. He comes up with great workouts specifically tailored to your needs. For myself, I love high intensity workouts and that's exactly what he gave me! They were always fun and challenging! read more
