"Jonathan and his Breathing Aerobics are amazing! I have had sleep issues ever since I conceived my daughter 16 years ago, and his Breathing Aerobics have really helped me during times that my hormones interrupt my sleep cycle. Now after 16 years, I'm finally getting restful sleep! Additionally, in preparing for my career change as a personal trainer, I had to take a test, which caused massive test anxiety. Though with Jonathan and his Breathing Aerobics I was able to relax and alleviate my anxiety and passed my test and I'm on my way!"

Testimonial From Jonathan's teacher
my story
My name is Jonathan “Fitness” Jones. I am 60 years old and from the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Area. I have over thirty years of experience in the fields of health and fitness.
I owned and operated a gym located in Oakland, California called “The Body Shop Fitness Center”. Later, a series of unfortunate events occurred. I lost the gym and became depressed. To camouflage my feelings, I started overeating and stopped exercising which led to excessive weight gain.
One day, while eating breakfast at a local restaurant, I ran into an old friend, Kim Reinheimer. Kim taught meditation and deep breathing techniques for over 30 years. She noticed that I looked stressed out and noticed the weight I had gained. Kim said that she could show me some deep breathing exercises that would help me get rid of the stressful feelings I was experiencing and the extra pounds I had gained.
I tried the deep breathing exercises she suggested. After the first session, the stressful feelings were gone and my mind was clear. I could not believe the changes! I was thinking more positively and feeling better about myself. I began to do the deep breathing exercises three times a day. Over the course of two months, I lost over twenty pounds and looked ten years younger. The changes that occurred were unbelievable. These simple deep breathing exercises put my life back on track! After experiencing the mental and physical changes that were occurring in my life, I wanted to learn more.
Kim then introduced me to Zen Master, Dr. Chung Am. Dr. Am was a Chinese herb doctor and taught meditation and breathing exercises for over 50 years. He showed me even more deep breathing techniques and taught me that breathing was more than just a breath of life. He helped me understand how breathing influences my emotions, affects my creativity, improves my energy level, motivation and memory, and can change my body chemistry. The more I learned, the stronger my desire became to improve the quality of my life.
I named the breathing techniques I’d been practicing Breathing Aerobics®. I wanted to help others. I began teaching people how to improve the quality of their lives using Breathing Aerobics® on television and radio alike.
