Jonathan is more than just a personal trainer! He brings nutrition, lifestyle, health, education and science into your sessions and then takes it a step further and sends you follow up information to help you understand how it all works together. He is so talented and passionate and wants his clients to be successful and live life to the fullest from a health perspective. He is continually educating himself so that he can help his clients beyond just a personal training/fitness session, he customized your sessions to fit you, and he is hands down the top trainer in the twin cities. If you are looking to get fit physically and understand how what you eat (and don’t eat) impacts your body and hormones both positively and negatively, look no further! Jonathan is the best!

Jonathan is just fantastic! I have been working with him for a year and he makes me feel like I am the number one client. He is always able to give you his full attention, support and really hears you when you are speaking. Jonathan's training goes beyond just physical fitness. Since working with him my emotional and mental fitness has grown and I have learned so much! Elev8 Wellness's facilities are just lovely and I am ALWAYS looking forward to when I get to meet Jonathan. I cannot recommend Elev8 Wellness enough!

Jonathan is the best. He listens. He has more than 20 years experience. And he can coach people of all abilities. I’m 72 years old male and had a single lung transplant patient. Because of prescribed steroids I’ve lost so much muscle mass that just getting up the stairs was difficult. Meeting in weekly virtual sessions Jonathan organized a series of sitting and standing exercises, gradually increasing the reps and sets as I became stronger. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I have been working with Jonathan for the past 2 months for personal training. I agree with others that Jonathan's wealth of knowledge and expertise is astonishing. He takes the time to personalize each workout and recommendations for the interim period. I was intimidated to start personal training anywhere because it was out of my comfort zone so I put it off for many months. Choosing Elev8 Wellness was the best decision because Jonathan is welcoming, personable, and genuine. He's free of judgement and will make you feel comfortable while pushing you to do better. I've already noticed improvements in a short period of time which motivates me to stick with it. After reading reviews on multiple personal trainers, I chose Jonathan because he has perfect reviews and he lives up to each of them!

Jonathan is an amazing coach and trainer. He has helped me with both nutrition and fitness, and in a period of one month I have seen amazing results. No gimmicks. Jonathan is extremely knowledgeable and is able to quickly personalize a program that fits into your life. As a working mom, I appreciate the home work outs he gives me. I can finish them within 20-30 minutes. He is very supportive and has a refreshing approach to making fitness and a healthy lifestyle a part of your life.

I’ve been training with Jonathan for the past four months, and my time spent at Elev8 has been invaluable to jumpstarting my wellness journey. Jonathan is very knowledgeable and uses his expertise to design workouts that have enabled me to rebuild my strength and increase my range of motion. The workouts are in person and provided to me after each session to do on my own. Jonathan takes time to demonstrate each move, explain the muscle groups being worked and the benefits, and afterward he manages a connection to check in on my progress and encourage activity outside of our scheduled meetings. When in the gym, it is always clean, orderly and fully equipped to meet my workout needs. This is a great place to become healthy and stronger, and Jonathan is a very competent trainer, educator and adviser.

Jonathan has been my personal trainer for more than 12 months. I am continually amazed at his wealth of knowledge. I am a 67 year old female. Recently I experienced troubling neurological symptoms that doctors were not able to diagnose . Jonathan gave me simple remedies to try and I followed his recommendations. With Jonathan’s knowledge and coaching I have recovered my quality of life. His knowledge on every subject is amazing. No judgment, just motivation! I HIGHLY recommend Jonathan and Elev8 Wellness !

I have been working with Jonathan for almost 6 months. He is one of the best personal trainers I have ever met and he is extremely knowledgeable about fitness but also nutrition. I have learned a lot about proper technique and how to properly use certain machines. I feel much more confident and comfortable going to the gym with more understanding of what to do. He is well prepared for each session, attentive and able to make adjustments to best meet my needs on any given day (ie my wrist was hurting from an old injury and weakness and without missing a beat he added in an exercise to help strengthen it)

Jonathan is an absolutely outstanding coach with an incredible wealth of knowledge. In my opinion one of the most knowledgeable trainers in the industry. He delivers results.

Mark is an experienced and very knowledgeable trainer. I have worked with Mark for a number of years, and he understands how to get the most out of workouts while avoiding injuries. Highly recommended!

This review is from Alex my teenage son. He shared, "Mark is an amazing trainer. He was very supportive, professional, organized, and most important he was motivating. He always had my workouts planned, ready, and available. One of my goals was to become stronger. I noticed my first day of cross country that I was not only stronger but had a lot more endurance. Mark helped me triumph over my goals. I am already looking forward to next Spring. Thanks Mark." Mike and I are also very impressed with Mark's knowledge of nutrition, experience as a trainer, and ability to mentor. Alex gained strength, but more importantly confidence in himself. Thank you Mark!

Jonathan is fantastic. A great blend of strength and aerobic work combined with unmatched technical acumen from training to nutrition to all things related to the body. One of the best I have ever worked with

Jonathan is a perfect example of who you would want as a trainer. Well educated, tons of experience in areas you never thought of, and always full of ideas on improving your fitness/wellness. Whatever level you are at, there is something he could add to your fitness journey that would benefit you going forward. He has a very non-intimidating approach that makes you want to learn and do more. The gym itself is super comfortable, clean, and well appointed.

Whatever you are looking to accomplish on the wellness front, Jonathan is hands down the person to go to! You know you're working with an incredible trainer when other elite trainers in the area seek him out as their own trainer, mentor, and coach! Jonathan's level of expertise with movement patterns, lifestyle, health improvements, diet, personal training, injury recovery, life coaching, and business coaching is set apart. He provides so much value and has insight into every aspect of fitness and overall wellness. Jonathan is well-researched by any standard, trustworthy, an overall great person, and most importantly he is a kind. I highly recommend checking out Elev8 Wellness if you haven't already!

I’ve known and worked with Jonathan Watters for many years. He is one individual that had taught me a lot of what I still do today. If you ever need someone that is super smart, crazy knowledgeable, and an over all great guy, he is the one to help you to your next level!

Jonathan at Elev8 is everything I was looking for in a trainer. After years of trying to figure out fitness by myself, I’m so glad that I found Elev8. After working with Jonathan for just about two months, I’ve already seen huge improvements in performance and body composition. Jonathan has a ton of experience training people with all sorts of different goals. He’s personal, thorough, and checks in regularly to make sure that I’m staying in track. He is also super smart and really took a very intellectual and evidence-based approach to both training and nutrition, which was exactly what I needed. The gym itself is well-appointed, clean, and comfortable. I can’t recommend Jonathan and Elev8 highly enough.

I have been working with Jonathan for over a month and I know I have found the perfect person to work with and teach me how to “Elevate” my health. Jonathan is an elite athlete and an amazing personal fitness coach, but more importantly, Jonathan is a caring person who excels at helping other people find and attain their health goals. In addition to Jonathan’s expertise in health, fitness and nutrition, his humble and kind demeanor creates a culture of unconditional support. I’m 61 and have never focused on my physical health, and in this short month of working with Jonathan, I feel like a new person, and for the first time in my life, I’m excited about “Elevating” my health because of Jonathan’s genuine belief in me.
