About Jon Ham
Gymnast since the age of three. Personal trainer since 2001.
A gymnast first
Jon has done gymnastics since he was three. He moved to the University of Illinois in August 1997 to compete, was part of the Illinois team that placed third nationally in 1998, and won a Big Ten bronze medal on the high bar in 2001.
The accident, in his words
Shown only with Jon's approval (SOURCE_EVIDENCE row 3).
In November 1995 I had a tragic accident at gymnastics practice where I fell off the High Bar and broke my neck. I am extremely fortunate to not be paralyzed, or worse.
Jon Ham, from his original site
He recovered and went back to competitive gymnastics. It is a large part of why he coaches the way he does: carefully, and with respect for what a body can come back from.
Education
Jon earned a Bachelor of Science in Food Science and Human Nutrition: Dietetics from the University of Illinois, which is why nutrition is part of how he coaches rather than an afterthought.
Twenty-plus years in clients' homes
He has trained clients since 2001 and has run an in-home practice since 2003, originally under the name Fitness On The Run. Fitness Training by Jon is the same coach and the same practice, with a clearer name.
