"I offer up the fact that I am now in what may be the best shape of my 50-something years with a shrunken waistline ( lost 38 lbs and 4 pants sizes) and well-defined arms, my knees and shoulders are pain free and I haven't been this flexible since high school.

Last fall I convinced myself that to really get into the shape I wanted to be in, I needed a personal trainer. I had let myself go by late night snacking and unhealthy eating. Jordan got me on track and got me more than I bargained for as well. Jordan's attention to detail, completely personalized workouts and thoroughness will get you where you want to be - if you hold up your end of the deal as well - i.e. eliminating bad habits and proactively following his dietary advice. His space is very clean, well run and is a joy to work with. This has been the best experience I have had with fitness training and would never consider going to an "average" gym again. I couldn't give a higher recommendation."

"My husband and I were tired, fat, sore, weak, not  flexible and always hungry. We had both worked out at other gyms and with other trainers and programs-- but had not experienced results ..Jordan coached us to change our nutrition-- and physical bodies-- by challenging our cardiovascular system and strengthening our functional movement. And Jordan makes it  manageable and fun! Our food cravings are gone, our high blood pressure is gone, as well as knee,hip,back and shoulder pain --gone.We are both sleeping better too, which gives us energy to enjoy an active healthy lifestyle--since each  losing 25 pounds-- in just a few months. Thank you very much, Jordan. See you at Heart Fit!"

"I've been unsuccessfully trying to lose weight for over 15 years.  I used the well-known programs and diets and have hired a personal fitness trainer, but nothing seemed to work.  When I was at the point of giving up, I found Jordan, who confidently told me that he is different and I would lose pounds and inches.   I was skeptical at first, but I trusted Jordan and faithfully did the program he designed for me and I lost the weight as promised.  Jordan does not use a one-size-fits-all technique.  All of his clients are individually evaluated and a program is designed according to their needs and restrictions.  He is very organized and a pleasure to spend time with.  Once you follow his program, it would be very difficult to go to a regular gym.  It has been nine months since I went on my own and following what I learned from Jordan, I have not only kept the weight off, but I have lost additional pounds and inches.  If you are tired of failing using other programs you need to visit Heart Fit and let them turn you into a success story."

"Jordan has been working to help me regain my strength and stability post-surgery of 10 months ago. I began working with him after completing all prescribed physical therapy. I am amazed, and grateful, that he has identified and addressed my major difficulties. Physical therapy got me back on my feet, but Jordan has taken me from there to much improved core strength and flexibility. The most immediate benefit was his determination of the source of great discomfort in my hip joint and upper leg. I no longer have that pain! After 6 months of trying to get help from my surgeon and hospital/post-hospital physical therapy, Jordan identified the problem. Within a week it was totally resolved. Jordan is a joy to work with, and his mastery his craft is augmented by his constant seeking of the most advanced information and techniques available."

"I am in my early 30s and went to Heart Fit to start feeling better, drop some weight, and help correct back pain. I was able to accomplish this and more. With so much misinformation existing about exercise/ weight loss today my experience at Heart Fit was nothing less than a revelation. Just as valuable as the actual training is the ability Jordan has to convey information, offer resources for continued learning, and allow clients to implement these truths about diet and exercise into practice. The environment is very open, not at all intimidating, and designed specifically to meet the needs of each individual by a highly educated trainer (Jordan).This has been the best experience I have had with fitness training and would never consider going to a an "average" gym again. I couldn't give a higher recommendation."

"Having begun to notice the irreversible signs of aging in myself I started to realize why, as people age, they often start on a downward spiral.  Flexibility, stability, balance, and strength were all declining and I began to move in ways that I felt would protect me from injury.  In reality, I knew that this would only accelerate the decline and make me more prone to serious problems.  After having worked unsuccessfully with undereducated trainers from the "big box" gyms, I knew I didn't want to take that route again.  Two years ago I very fortunately found myself in conversation with a 75 year old woman who had Jordan Nichols as her trainer.  On her recommendation I began working with Jordan, owner of Heart Fit.  I have learned, not only how to exercise, but that my body is capable of far more than I ever knew was possible.  I found myself wishing that I had such training and encouragement earlier in my life.

While Jordan has stressed flexibility, stability, and core strength, most exercises are multifunctional and include a strength training component.   After one year of working with Jordan, my bone density went from osteopenia to normal in two of three places tested and improved at the third site.  Now, after two years of working with Jordan, I am extending the distance range for my cycling and plan to celebrate my 70th birthday by completing my 3rd century.

With his solid education in physiology, his continued training and education with physical therapists and trainers, and his own work as a triathlete, Jordan knows how to get results that are needed for peak physical health at any age.  He has experience training everyone from elite athletes to those recovering from injury to people wanting to still achieve as much physical fitness as is possible as they age.  I have no reservations in recommending Jordan and his facility.

"I am in no way connected to the Heart Fit business except to be very grateful for the help I have received there.  After an athletic injury I went to Heart Fit and received a very accurate assessment of the imbalance that led to my injury.  I signed up to train with Jordan Nichols both to rehab and to prevent future injuries.  My husband was so impressed with the great training I was receiving that he joins me now for once a week hour long training sessions and Jordan has inspired us to continue with his plan between sessions in his very well equipped gym.  We've both experienced benefits far beyond those that resulted from physical therapy for specific issues as well as balanced joint stabilization, flexibility, strength, and aerobic training.  Our sessions are worth way more than Jordan is charging us.  We feel VERY fortunate to have found him.  He's the best kept secret for athletes in the inland empire!  And I do know what I'm talking about...  I am trained as a Naturopathic Physician and have studied and practiced physical medicine.  I've worked in physical therapy clinics and have studied Hatha Yoga with Iyengar in Poona, India.  I've been practicing Pilates regularly for over 10 years.  Anyone who wants to either heal or prevent injuries or push their athletic limits would be wise to see Jordan at Heart Fit.  In some ways his talents are wasted on us... he could be training elite athletes to maximize their potential. "

"First and foremost, I want to say thank you to Jordan in this review. Heart Fit is not just a gym, it is a life changing experience. I came to Jordan (main trainer) about one year ago right after an inguinal hernia surgery that was the result of a 24 Hour Fitness training session gone terribly wrong (I will NEVER join a regular gym ever again). I have been athletic my whole life. From horseback riding and gymnastics to body building and firefighter training - you name it, I've done it. Along with all of the training came a long slew of injuries. Every time I thought I was getting better, I would injure or re-injure something. I was getting so frustrated and depressed because my career was riding on my ability to perform physically and I kept hitting road blocks and not understanding why. And as a female, I was also having an incredibly hard time finding a trainer that would adapt a program for me to become a better Firefighter candidate.

Jordan's card came in the mail and I figured I would check it out. Let me tell you, if there is any question in your mind about whether or not to train, do it. I have not only remained injury free for the last year, I have improved dramatically in my complete state of physical being. I truly had no idea how incorrect my form and methods of working out were. No wonder I'd had so many injuries and am lucky there weren't more that were more severe. True, any amount of physical training is beneficial, but with the right technique I found out my boundaries lifting. Within the last year I have leaned, gotten stronger, and become a true competitor in all my athletically based endeavors.

Jordan not only teaches you proper form and exercise techniques, he teaches you a life style that incorporates nutrition, training and confidence. He took me, through his dedicated training, from an apprehensive and hesitant person to a confident and successful individual. My physical agility times have improved by anywhere from 1 to 4 minutes (fire department agility tests), my hobby cycling has turned into entering triathlons, and I have reduced my body fat by 10%. When you train with Jordan, you get a coach that offers you incredible one on one advice and assistance. He will start you from the ground up and the end result is limitless. There is no other gym like it anywhere in the area, and once you start down the road of functional movement training, you will quickly realize there is no reason to ever look back.

I will also say with complete confidence, that you would be hard pressed to ever find another trainer that cares as much about his clients as Jordan does. He makes every effort to be there for you, work with your schedule and make himself available for any question you have, even if it as simple as 'should I eat this?'. The facility itself is awesome as well. You will find it clean, organized and Jordan keeps a wide range of equipment you will not find at a regular gym. He has an turf set up for sled runs and speed drills, climbing machines, a full range or cardio equipment, kettlebells and bands. He is continuously attending seminars and training sessions himself to offer his clients the best workouts possible. Jordan has a wide range of services and clients. Whether you want to take the road to an Ironman or you just want a healthier lifestyle, he is your man. From weight-loss to mobility to true athletic improvement - he will take you there. Jordan and his team are friendly, personable, and easy to work with. I look forward to my training days and come away knowing the next one will be even better. Thanks to Jordan, I should be successfully hired as a firefighter this fall and I will be entering my first triathlon sprint. A year ago I would have told you I would never run over 2 miles and now I am contemplating the road to a half-iron man. Crazy? Nope - just excellent training and with that anything is possible. I cannot recommend this place enough. It will be the best decision of your life. Thanks Jordan!"

"We were both recently retired and determined that our present method of maintaining an optimal healthy lifestyle was not meeting our expectations. We knew we had to do something, but we were uncertain of the changes needed. We discovered Heart Fit (on our way to the bakery) and discussed our goals and health issues with the owner, Jordan Nichols. Claudine had intermittent back pain increased by various activities. Don has multiple sclerosis and faces issues with strength, coordination, balance and stamina. Our experiences with the standard packaged workout classes and equipment was that they were counter-productive. Jordan's academic training, years of practical experience and on-going continuing education enables him to provide a superior and challenging program tailored for each of us. His expertise and professional gym equipment are far above what you will find at most fitness centers. He stresses a dynamic approach to structuring our training program modifying it continuously to meet our changing needs and levels of improvement. The program incorporates weight control (a decrease of over 10% in weight resulting in our BMIs now in the low normal range), strength building, stamina, cardio, balance and coordination. We highly recommend Jordan and his team of experts. The experience will exceed your expectations".

"After losing 65 pounds I love how I feel! I lived for years with the excuse that it’s not about me and when my kids grow up I will then have the time to focus on myself. But then I realized I can’t be the best my kids deserve when I am not at my best. Five months after joining Heart Fit my then tight clothes have been thrown out and I’m doing exercises I never dreamed of and loving every moment of it! My nutritional program is simple and the guess work is gone. My husband and kids love my new found energy and are always telling me how good I look and how strong I am. If you are looking to lose weight or just feel better you need to visit Heart Fit and let them make you into a success story"
