When meeting Coach Jon Mears one thing you will see is passion. He loves to coach and make others better athletes. He has been coaching for over 20 years, with a wide scope of populations. Youth, athletes, special populations (including MS, partial paralysis, diabetes, cardiac rehab), and globo personal training to name a few. In 2000 Jon was invited by NSCA president Dr. Richard Borden to study a train in China for a month. To Jon fitness means more then just getting into shape, it can literally save your life. In 2003 Jon was in a wreck while touring with a band, “I was so happy we were about to play the legendary CBGB’s, unfortunately we didn’t make it that night.” The van got hit by a flatbed truck carrying cinder blocks, among numerous other injuries Jon had torn his aorta. “I was airlifted to Hershey medical center for emergency open heart surgery.” The doctors gave me a 4% chance to make it. “They said the only reason I pulled through was having a high level fitness.” Since then Jon has continued to train others with that second chance, and he adds “I still rock a show here and there, it keeps me young.”
