Private one-on-one coaching in Normal Heights, San Diego. Specializing in corrective exercise, functional movement, and long-term health — not quick fixes or high-intensity programs.
"He listens to what you want, clears a path, puts up signposts, and points out dangers. You walk it with a friendly guide at your side. The 'side effect' of working with Jonathan is actually being healthier and pain free."
"He's world-class — not in the cheesy 'rah-rah trainer' way. Working out with him was never just an hour of lifting weights. It was an hour with a friend. Someone who pushed me physically and mentally, but also actually listened."
"After ankle surgery, Jonathan helped me rebuild movement and strength — and I went on to complete my first marathon. I've learned a great deal about how to move well and execute exercises in ideal form."
"There is never any pressure — Jonathan is patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly encouraging. After each session I feel great, and the positive effects are long lasting. This was one of the best personal improvement decisions I've made."
The outdoor gym at RHTHM is surrounded by tropical plants, covered from the sun and rain, and set up so you're never sharing your session with anyone else.
The space is fully equipped — dumbbells, kettlebells, cables, bands, a bench, and more — but without the noise, the wait, or the locker room. For one hour, it's just you, good music, and a coach who prepared for your session before you arrived.
One client per session. No strangers. No noise. That's not a limitation — it's the point.
The fitness industry's answer to everything is more — more intensity, more volume, more willpower. His answer is simpler: the proper movements, in the right amount.
Not a program you follow. A practice built around how your body actually works.
Jonathan is a certified corrective exercise specialist. His job isn't just to make you stronger — it's to identify why you're moving the way you are, and retrain the patterns that are limiting you. Chronic pain often resolves as a natural consequence of the work.
This isn't a six-week program. Jonathan builds long-term relationships with clients who want to keep moving well into their 60s, 70s, and beyond. Every session is adapted in real time to where you are that day — and you'll always understand why you're doing what you're doing.
Every coaching relationship includes Precision Nutrition-informed guidance — practical, sustainable, and matched to your life. Available between sessions, not just during them. No diet plans. No macro tracking. Just better habits.
Jonathan has been coaching for over eight years — one client at a time, by design. He works with people who want to understand their body, not just get through another workout. Chronic pain that hasn't responded to other approaches. Movement patterns that keep causing problems. Or simply a long-term relationship with training that's actually sustainable.
He doesn't push. He explains. Then he walks alongside you, session after session, until movement feels like something your body does naturally — not something you manage around.
"One hour in my week where I stepped away from work and family and just focused on myself. He never phoned it in. Ever."
All packages are month-to-month and include nutrition coaching, open communication between sessions, and a tailored routine you can do on your own. Choose the frequency that fits your life.
Ongoing guidance and support. Best if you're self-driven and want to train independently between sessions.
High level of guidance and accountability, with plenty of time to build real skills and habits.
Highest level of attention and accountability. The best option for quicker progress or those new to intentional movement.
