John Barnett
John grew up in South America (his dad was in international business), New York, and California, and has been in South Carolina since after college. Because of his upbringing, John loves traveling to see and study unique cultures. John says, “There is nothing like sitting in a tree-stand meditating and reading to refresh the soul, or the rush of wind as you ride down a country road on a motorcycle to clear the mind and invigorate the heart”.

#ComeBackBetter is the game plan and I promise you everyday I will show up better than I was yesterday ready to help you reach your goals. This phrase is not just about your fitness journey but life. We all wear so many hats... Mothers, Fathers, Daughters, Uncles, Employees, Bosses etc. I believe everyday we should look to improve on at least 1 of those roles at least a little bit.
