jon baker
trainer, boxing instructor, group exercise instructorAfter 12 post-collegiate years spent meandering through jobs that left me unhappy and digging for purpose, I became a trainer to save myself and to learn a craft.
The happiest years of my life, since childhood, have followed that important decision. In my time outside of work I am a skateboarder, and an artist. I look forward to meeting you.
