Hawthorne Park South provides the services of a personal trainer and I appreciate that. It is less intimidating than going to a regular gym and the personal trainer, John Jewell, is great. He encourages and motivates us to accomplish our own fitness goals. He is aware that we are on different levels and challenges us to workout to the best of our ability. He has also been teaching us how to use the machines in our gym properly. It makes a huge difference in the results when you actually know how to use the machine in the correct manner. His kind spirit, positive attitude and sense of humor make it fun and interesting. If you haven't tried a session yet you can obtain a schedule from the office. Many thanks to all of the office staff at Hawthorne Park South for making this service available to us. 08/02/14
