Community Feedback
"Jon is highly knowledgeable about strength training and sport performance. He is warm, positive and a great guy who’s sets a positive and friendly atmosphere in his gym. I’m an old guy with several training injuries and he has helped me to progress my training despite that. He engages well with the teens in the gym and it’s nice to see a positive adult influence at work. He also has two assistant coaches who are really nice and very knowledgeable about Olympic-style weightlifting. STS has a great coach and the best environment of any gym I’ve trained at. Highly recommended if you live anywhere near Naperville and want to get stronger, faster or learn weightlifting."
