I believe fitness is about more than just physical health.
It’s about mental clarity, building confidence, and creating independence in your fitness journey.
Hi, my name is John Vlad.
Yes, I’ve been told I look intimidating, but I promise, I’m here to support you. No judgment, no unnecessary pressure, no impossible standards. Just a realistic approach to helping you reach whatever your goal is, at your own pace.
why 910 training began
For over 21 years, I served in the military, where I learned the value of discipline, resilience, and the power of movement. Fitness wasn’t always a part of my life. It became my lifeline when I struggled with depression as a young recruit. Movement, for me, was transformative, both physically and mentally. That’s why I’m passionate about helping others discover its benefits.
Over the years, my love for movement has only grown. I’ve pushed myself as an ultra-runner, testing my endurance and mental strength in ways I never imagined. I also train in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which has reinforced my belief that fitness isn’t just about looking strong. It’s about building resilience, skill, and confidence in how you move.
why I believe in a tailored approach for every client
I know stepping into fitness, especially for the first time, can feel intimidating. That’s why 910 Training is designed for beginners and individuals looking to build a solid foundation. My mission is to create a safe, private space where you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered. Every session is customized to your unique needs, goals, and starting point.
why I want you to eventually not need me anymore
My job isn’t just to help you reach your goals. It’s to equip you with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to maintain your fitness journey on your own. From teaching proper form to building your confidence in movement, my focus is always on long-term results and creating independence.
why I think we should get started
Whether you’re here to pass a PT test, get stronger, or just feel better in your daily life, I’ll meet you where you are and guide you toward where you want to be. Let’s move together, safely, confidently, and with purpose.
Looking for a training plan that actually makes sense for you?
fitness isn’t just about movement. it’s about creating confidence for life.
proof that it works.

I’ve been working with John for over a year now, starting as a complete beginner with no prior experience. I was nervous at first and unsure of what to expect, but he immediately made me feel comfortable and confident. His approach is patient, knowledgeable, and straightforward. Every workout is tailored to my level, and he challenges me in a way that’s motivating without being overwhelming. Over time, I’ve gained strength and confidence I never thought I’d achieve, and I actually look forward to working out now. If you’re looking for a trainer who makes fitness approachable while helping you push past your limits, I’d highly recommend John.

John does a great job of listening to your goals and building a program to help you accomplish it. I started to see improvement really quickly and he's as excited as I am when a new PR is set. Highly recommend!

My girlfriend and I have been training/working out with John for almost a year now. Having spent little time in the gym, I now laugh at my before and after gym experience. John is completely knowledgable about proper weight training techniques to both make lifting safe for my muscles and challenging with so many lifting variations. John is timely, professional, and I appreciate him crafting a combined workout for my girlfriend and I to train and gain together. We have results! If proper training is what you are looking for, look no further.
