Jason Patrick (Jay) Ferguson

When I first met Jason, I was unsure about committing to a personal trainer as I was scared of cost and was very doubtful of my ability to stick to a program that would kick my rear end. I also deal with depression and anxiety so it was a miracle that I even walked through the front door. I have had horrible experiences in the past with personal trainers not getting to know you, not caring enough to give you their full attention during the session and always were on their cell phones. Jason immediately changed how I thought about personal trainers as soon as I finished my 1st consultation. He gave off a great and positive aura, was attentive and made sure to know everything about my goals and limitations prior to giving me his thoughts on how he would train me. I was so impressed that I signed up for 8 sessions that same day.

I went into this thinking I would spend 1, maybe 2 months with Jason to get myself into good enough shape to run my ultra half marathons and then continue working out at a gym afterwards. Well my plan changed, Jason has been my trainer for some time now and i have a hard time thinking of ever leaving. My strength has increased greatly and is still climbing! I am lifting more weight and finishing vigorous exercises with more intensity each and every session. My self confidence has skyrocketed with wanting to be better and stronger than ever before and my competitive nature has taken over! My friends and family are noticing the changes. It feels so good to receive compliments and be validated after so many hours of hard work.

Jason is not just a personal trainer to me, he is in many ways my life coach and a friend. He provides me with his undivided attention (I can safely assume it is the same with his other clients), He engages in great conversation whether it is about current events or listening to me when I am venting about my life. I get more out of my time and money with each session with Jason than I have with any other method of self help.

One on One training is not for everyone but if you give Jason a chance and have patience, you will be happy you picked Jason as your trainer.

I cannot say enough positive things about Jason! I trained with Jason for 5.5 years (and only had to leave as my husband received orders out of state, otherwise I would be a life long client of his) and he changed my life.

Jason started out our training sessions by asking about my goals and lifestyle. My original goal was to lose 10lbs, but with Jason’s guidance and knowledge the pounds came off so easily, I actually ended up losing 25lbs in the first 5-6months (which I didn’t even know was possible). And what is even more amazing, is that I have kept the weight off even after all these years! My body is in the best shape of my life! Jason will never pressure weight loss or force you/your body to do things you are not comfortable with, but instead gives you the tools to achieve your goals and so much more.

I truly believe Jason was a Godsend to my life, and I will be forever grateful! Throughout my years of training with him, I learned so much about fitness and nutrition, but also learned a lot about myself and what I was capable of achieving. He gave me a confidence that I didn’t know I could have and became more than a trainer, he became a friend. I miss training with Jason a lot, and would tell of his clients, current and future, how lucky they are to have him!

I had Jason as my personal trainer for about 3 years. His high energy, positivity, and encouragement kept me consistent and excited about fitness. His approach to fitness and nutrition is very individualized for your needs and lifestyle. He knows how to set goals that are realistic but will get you where you want to be.

Thanks to Jason and because of my love for fitness I became a trainer myself and am now one of the top trainers at my gym, thanks to him! He is truly such a special person!

I trained with Jason for about 2 years and all I have is good things to say about him! Jason was always on time, and greeted me with a big smile and a positive attitude, just what I needed after having a hard day at work, and feeling a bit down on myself because I wasn't eating very healthy.

Once our workout started, Jason always gave me HOPE through great nutritional advice and ideas , such as blending frozen bananas up and replacing this for ice cream, or drinking some amino's before our workout. He never made me feel bad when I screwed up on my diet goals, but rather offered hope and encouragement and let me know that I was able to achieve my goals.

Another thing I appreciate about Jason is his uncanny ability to give a great visual related to an issue you are having with your health , dieting, or exercising. Through his visual, I was able to get a new perspective on the current problem at hand, and I left the gym with an attitude of hope, knowing that I could get through any current challenge I was facing.

I was never bored with the variety of exercise routines we went through because he knows how to change things up and personally hand taylor the routine for your goals. Jason is extremely knowledgeable about the body and optimizing the different muscle groups that need to work together to help achieve your health goals. He is funny too!

Having Jason for your Personal Trainer will definitely be a positive step in your health and fitness for 2020!! If your serious about real change and want to work out with a great guy who loves his profession and loves helping people then check out Solid Rock Fitness!!

I had the opportunity to have Jason as a personal trainer from 2016-2019 and can definitely attest to his exemplary knowledge of fitness and nutrition principles as well as his highly motivational coaching style. As a competitive marathon runner, I was able to enhance my all around strength and conditioning using the training program Jason tailored for me. His fitness guidance was instrumental to several of my marathon training cycles, and contributed to my first marathon win at the 2017 Long Beach marathon. I would highly recommend his personal training services to people of all fitness levels. Jason invests himself fully in helping each of his clients meet their fitness goals and shares his enthusiasm and passion for fitness with everyone he works with.

I trained with Jason for over 3 years and can honestly say that he changed my approach to physical fitness, nutrition and overall well being. I was a bit nervous initially, as I had had back surgery in the past. Jason was great about modifying my workouts, making sure that none of the exercises would result in injury. He was very motivating, and in a short time frame, I was doing exercises, and lifting weights, to a degree, I didn't know would still be possible. I would highly recommend Jason as a personal trainer. His holistic approach to health is what makes change long lasting and life altering.

Jason has brought my health and fitness to a level I didn’t think was attainable. With a mix of strength and functional movements, he helped me get into better shape than I could have expected. Jason puts together incredible workout plans with a great understanding of your goals and abilities without overloading your workouts. He’s the best, that’s it!

I thank God every day that I met Jason. I had another trainer for 3 days. It was my first time in a gym at all so I had no idea what to expect. After 3 days I could hardly move but not knowing how I should feel I kept going. On my next session I was informed that my trainer had left and that Jason would take over. Over six years later I have Jason to thank for my path to healthy living and fitness. He spent the time to ask me my goals and worked with me at my level which then progressed to things I never thought I could do! Weight lifting, TRX (one of my favorites), hand stands, balance and core and able to run several half marathons. He also provided daily motivation that provided me with the ability to cope with stress in addition to healthy meal planning. I am now 53 and would tell anyone of any age that making an investment in your health is important but more important is the right person to lead you on that journey and that is Jason.
