What: Barbara Thompson Interviews Exercise Guru,
Jon Gestl
Jon Gestl’s interest in fitness began
as an out of shape senior in high school when he signed up
for a weight training class because he thought it would be
an easy class to cut at the end of the day. He was hooked
on fitness from then on and spent every free moment
learning about exercise theory, fitness and nutrition.
The kid always picked last for teams
in gym class went on to become a national and world-ranked
athlete. He is a US National Sportsaerobic Champion,
winning the silver medal in 2000 and bronze in 2001. He
has appeared on ESPN and ESPN2 in the sport nicknamed the
“toughest two minutes in sports.”
Jon Gestl is a personal fitness
trainer and group exercise instructor in Chicago. As a
former counselor and educator, Jon utilizes the unique
combination of psychology and exercise science to help
people overcome both mental and physical obstacles to
realize their fitness and health potential. His business
specializes in providing on-site fitness training and
instruction to those who are too busy or intimidated to go
to gyms. This is emphatic in his motto, "Inhome, Inoffice,
Inshape!"
