Who Is JKConditioning

JKConditioning is a private fitness training facility located in the centre of St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. We offer personalized training in a group training environment for general fitness enthusiasts. We are client-focused and results driven. Exercise programs are tailored to you based on your goals and current ability. We only recommend healthy yet realistic strategies to help you achieve your fitness and health goals. We are not fans of quick fixes or fitness gimmicks because they don’t teach sustainable lifestyle behaviours; sure a drastic fitness program or crash diet can yield drastic results, but it doesn’t fit inside our strength and conditioning philosophy.

When you start training with us, we teach body awareness so you can understand our coaching cues. We believe that the foundation of all exercise programs is quality movement and good exercise technique. Dialling in your technique will reduce your injury risk and also maximize the effectiveness of your workout. Our programs focus on bodyweight and free-weight exercises so learning correct form is very important. We’ll teach you the basics of strength training which includes learning how to squat, deadlift, lunge, push (vertical and horizontal, think overhead press and pushup, respectively), and pull (vertical and horizontal, think chin up or pull down and row, respectively). Our core training approach focuses on teaching core stability first rather than teaching you how to do sit-ups or crunches. Learning how to stabilize your core correctly will build your abdominal muscles and back strength more appropriately compared to the traditional crunch exercise. From here, we build on exercise efficiency and exercise and workout difficultly. As you progress, so does your program. Remember, we design workouts to make you better, not to see how much you can sweat.

JKConditioning was founded by Jon-Erik Kawamoto in 2006 in Burnaby, BC. Jon has been physically active his entire life and his passion is sharing the experiences of clients who succeed in achieving their health and fitness goals. Jon’s goal with JKConditioning is to provide people with the highest quality strength and conditioning coaching while giving clients an enjoyable and memorable fitness experience.

One-on-One Training Sessions

One-on-One training sessions are 60-minutes long and are reserved for initial assessments and for those looking for technique coaching, new exercises and program revamping.

The initial assessment includes:

discussion on current and past health status
discussion on current and past injuries
movement assessment to expose dysfunctions and imbalances
exercise technique coaching
nutritional strategies to best suit your goals

Personalized Group Training Sessions

If you want to train with us on a regular basis, we offer personal training in a group environment. Workout size can range from 2 to 6 clients depending on the time of day and who’s interested in booking in at that time. You do not need to create your group as it’s our responsibility to fill the group – you just need to tell us your availability.

Each client will have his/her own uniquely designed workout routine based on goals and current ability. This allows clients of different sexes, ages, goals and abilities to exercise together. Group training environments are more motivational and great for building relationships with like-minded individuals. All sessions are 60-minutes and clients are encouraged to arrive at the gym early to start their personalized warm-up.

Note: All clients must start with a 1-on-1 assessment prior to being booked in with others.
