John Allen’s Personal Training makes a difference in people’s lives BY ALISON STANTON
As owner of John Allen’s Personal Training in Chandler, John Allen has helped a wide variety of people improve their overall health and fitness levels during the past three decades. From moms who are hoping to lose weight after having children, and young athletes who want to get faster or gain muscle mass to perform better at their chosen sport, to people who have been injured or ill and need rehabilitation, Allen and his team of trainers offer 130 combined years of experience. He says his company has worked with celebrities, professional athletes and folks from Corporate American who share one common goal: a desire to look and feel better. “We offer one-on-one training as well as group training,” Allen says. “In the group training, we have no more than three people at a time, so everybody still feels like they are getting a personal touch.” Allen is particularly proud of his attractive facility that features lockers, showers and a smoothie bar. Allen—who appeared on “Good Morning America” in 1984, when he was named as one of the top trainers in the country—says he and his trainers also work with people who have had back, knee or another type of surgery and need to have strength training and rehab work. “We work with them to get them
back to their regular form, instead of having them try to do it themselves at a gym and possibly injuring themselves,” he explains. In addition to the personal training services, Allen says he also features an effective nutritional program to help people reach their fitness goals. “Seventy percent of training is diet, and we get really good results with our nutrition program.” No matter what brings a person into John Allen’s Personal Training, Allen says he or she will be treated with the utmost of respect. “We truly care about our clients,” Allen says. “When someone comes into John Allen’s Personal Training, it will be all about them and not just numbers. At some other places, they have to turn certain numbers, but the only numbers we turn here are getting the clients the results they want.” Allen, who works with people ranging in age from the early 20s to 80-plus, says that nothing makes him happier than when a new client walks in the door looking for help. “When a woman walks in the door and says ‘I’ve just come from my doctor, and he says my blood pressure is too high,’ I will get a smile on my face. Not because of her high blood pressure, but because I know we will be able to help her and make a difference,” Allen says. “She will look forward to coming
