About Us
Hi, my name is Jason,
New Start:
Founder
Jason has been in the fitness industry for over 25 years. Prior to working in fitness, Jason worked for a Sports Medicine clinic helping patients move from injury, back into fitness pain and injury free!! In 1999 Jason opened up his first personal training gym and he hasn’t looked back since.
What I’ve found, from coaching clients for over 25 years, is that most people over 50 suffer from aches & pains, low muscle tone, poor sleep quality, bone density concerns and lack the energy to do the things they love.
Many of them struggle just to get through the day without pain. Others fear that they will end up like their parents, frail and dependent. And, most are concerned about not being able to keep up with their grandkids, or even their more active spouse.
What they really want is to have the energy to keep up with their family, reduce those aches and pains, develop the strength to function well, and do the things they enjoy, while not being a burden to others as they age.
They think the problem is they are limited in what they can achieve due to their age and previous injuries so they end up buying a gym membership only to walk on the boring treadmill and do the machine “circuit” that’s supposed to be “safe”...but doesn’t really do anything for them.
The real problem is that their body is out of balance so when they do exercise it often just exacerbates the imbalances leaving them injured, frustrated, and lacking motivation to continue.
What they really need is a corrective exercise program that focuses on strengthening the right muscles, balancing their joints, and increasing their flexibility & mobility so they can feel their best and enjoy life as they age while they maintain their independence doing the things they love.
Why New Start Personal Training?
"Over the last 2 years, living and working in the Chattanooga area, I have yet to find a quality fitness facility that meets the needs of those over 50. Too many gyms sell you memberships, but fail to give you the guidance and support needed to reach your fitness goals. Other fitness programs are too extreme, cater to the bodybuilder or the already super fit individual. These programs leave you tired, hurting and frustrated."
Here, at New Start Personal Training, we understand the needs of those over 50.
