Trainer Information

Me and the fittest pet in Boca. It has it's ups and downs being a personal trainer's pooch :)

Hello! My name is John Brownlee. I have been a fitness aficionado for most of my life. Out of my passion for fitness and body sculpting, I decided to become a personal trainer and dedicate my life to helping others reach their optimum. I truly enjoy doing what I do, guiding my clients to succeed in attaining their goals in becoming fit and healthy. If you are interested, below is my life story.

I was born in London, England in 1968, to an Australian mother and an American father. At age 13, after spending my early formative years in London, I was sent to Stowe Boarding School in Buckingham, where I started to develop a keen interest in bodybuilding and sports fitness training. At age 16, I was put in charge of Stowe's weight training facility, taking on a number of responsibilities and duties. In addition to maintaining the facility's exercise equipment, I also instructed numerous students in how to train safely and effectively.

I used my sculpted body to make some extra income in my younger years through modeling.

After graduating from the British school system, I decided to broaden my horizons and attend College in the United States. I chose to attend Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York, where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Management, graduating Magna Cum Laude.

Immediately following graduation, I moved to New York City and secured employment with Lehman Brothers, a major Wall Street investment firm, where I earned my Stock Broker's License. After working for several years on Wall Street, I realized that I needed to change career and pursue something I truly had a passion about -- helping people to get fit! In 1996 I studied for and passed the American Council On Exercise's (A.C.E.) stringent Personal Training Certification Exam, and shortly thereafter embarked on a successful career as a Personal Trainer.

After spending a few years living in England in the late 90's, I decided to move back to the United States, and to that end I moved to beautiful Boca Raton, Florida, in January of 1999. Since then, I have been helping Boca Raton residents develop healthy exercise habits and get into the best shape of their lives!
