JP has been my personal trainer for 9 years and he regularly designs new programs for me. He showed me exactly how to drop the extra pounds I had been holding on to for years. Initially, I was doing longer workouts with him and now I do just two short workouts a week. I lost 16 lbs and keeping it off is easier than I thought. JPs honest and fun approach makes my workout a bright spot in my day.
I started working out with JP in 2002. I lost over 100 lbs with JPs help. He always believed in me, even when times were tough. JP helped me break through every plateau. It is obvious JP knows his stuff, but just as important was his understanding of me. He knew when to tell me I was getting lazy and when to tell me I needed a break. JP listens close, genuinely cares and will do whatever it takes to help. J.W.
I had just about given up trying to lose weight when I was introduced to JP. Through his vast knowledge of healthy eating and personal training I was able to lose 30 pounds. He got to know me and my lifestyle and gave me a plan that ended my struggle once and for all. JP makes the hard work of working out FUN! He has a great sense of humor and is a great motivator! I am stronger and more confident in my appearance. Thank you JP. I highly recommend him both as a very special person and terrific trainer! Susie S
I was doing a group exercise program in 2008 but I and wasn’t satisfied with my figure. I had gotten in good shape but I was stuck and I wanted to get in my best shape. I knew JP was an experienced trainer with a great reputation, so I hired him. He told me exactly how I needed to workout and eat in order to lose the last few pounds. JP had me training four times a week for just fifteen minutes at a time with him and I got in excellent shape. I loved training so much that I decided to get certified as a personal trainer. Then I thought it would be fun to enter a figure competition so I asked JP to help me build a lot more muscle. He recommended that I switch to his longer sessions and I won my very first competition with JP as my head trainer. JPs methods got me in the best shape of my life in my late thirties. Now I train clients full time in my own studio and I still trust JP to train me. JP has the rare ability to be great technically, and an excellent communicator. He over-delivers on every request I have and always has a positive attitude.

“Uh… I have no idea about his personal training skills. But I can tell you this, that little putz received a D+ in my algebra class. I’ll bet he doesn’t have the guts to put that on his website.”
I don’t like to exercise so JPs system is perfect for me. JP told me he knows the short-cuts and he was right. I used to do the full hour workouts with JP way back when I started with him and now I’m doing his quick workouts and I’m just as fit. I have also been virtually injury free for 14 years. JP just keeps getting better at what he does, The bottom line is, I have trusted in his expertise for a long time and he has never let me down.
“I love my brother and he’s an awesome trainer. But when it comes to fishing, he’s pretty bad. I’d say he’s the worst in the family… except for our sister Katie.”
I have been a client with JP since January 2005. However, from the moment I met JP, I knew he was a person that could help me achieve new goals and also the one that would help change my life for the better. I have been challenged and pushed by JP, and he has taught me a great deal. JP is caring and attentive to what each individual client needs, what their limits are, and how far he can push them. He encourages and motivates me to do better, and yet he knows how much I am capable of.
I have been impressed by JP’s Anatomy and Physiology knowledge, his passion to help clients, and his ability to connect with his clients. JP’s knowledge and professionalism is top notch in the health and workout training profession. JP brings not only an individualized workout plan to each session, his enthusiastic personality to each workout – which is always uplifting – and is a joy to be around. JP’s professionalism and demeanor should be modeled after, as he is always helpful to explain how an exercise should be done then shows me step-by-step the process and movements of each exercise in order to achieve maximum benefits. JP’s motivating, positive personality will always keep you encouraged to try your best. JP is a dedicated, focused trainer who will be honest with you about your workout sessions to help you reach your goals. I highly recommend JP’s personal training services and methods if you want to achieve maximum results when working out.
To anyone determined to make changes toward a healthier way of life, feeling and looking better I recommend JP wholeheartedly!

When I first visited JP my goals were to address my loss of balance and strength. Of course, I was hoping weight loss would also be addressed. I found my quick workouts twice a week to be more than adequate to achieve my goals. I really appreciated my one on one experience with JP. The workouts proved to be much more concentrated and beneficial than the group fitness classes I was doing at my health club. JP is an extremely motivational trainer. He has an invested interest in all of his clients and will help you to achieve your goals whatever they may be.
JP Sampson is a smart, creative, conscientious, sensitive personal trainer and a fine human being, and anyone who can train with him is a lucky person. It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend him and his work.
In June 2000, I was able to walk the 60-mile Avon 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk from Kenosha, Wisconsin, to Chicago, Illinois. When I signed up for the walk in February 2000, I was a totally unathletic and out-of-shape 53-year-old woman. But that same month, I started training with JP. He helped me grow strong and confident, and I met my goal. The benefits of regular training with JP have kept me training with him for the past 14 years, and those benefits now enhance my life as a strong, confident, and happy 67-year-old woman. I feel younger than my years, and I am able to continue to work full-time in a job I love.
