    Jason hooked me up, because of scheduling conflicts, with his man James Balazs who is honestly one of the best trainers I have met. I have worked through about 3 trainers and I can honestly say James has by far been the most knowledgeable. He pushes you hard to achieve the goals you want and understands the effects of supplements and diet have on your body. All and all I think the Jason & James team is an excellent place to at the very least try, if not commit.

    You will absolutely get results working with Jason Kozma. He is no joke. If you don?t get results, there is actually something wrong with you. I had worked with another personal trainer shortly after I had gotten engaged. After 6 months, I did not achieve the results I was looking for because 1.) I?m the type that needs strict discipline and they were more focused on developing a friendship with me 2.) I did not have a diet plan that complemented my workout regimen. He did a body fat analysis (monitored every 2-3 weeks), put me on nutritional plan (which he monitors weekly), and a cardio + strengthening regimen. You WILL start seeing a transformation within the first 2 weeks you start working with him. He will make adjustments throughout the process as needed. He is focused on your success, and he will motivate you to achieve your goals. What I couldn?t achieve in 6 months, I achieved in 10 weeks working with Jason. He brought my body fat down from 21% to 15%. I now fit ... Read more

    When I was 53, I won the Venice Beach body building contest master's division because of Jason. I am a nurse by profession, not some disciplined, driven athlete. His heartfelt encouragement gave me the courage and his training techniques, that were, quite frankly not that difficult gave me THE body! If you do what he says, you will get what you want - plus! Jason really cares about results for you, not so common in the training world I have found. Don't put it off, it is never too late to win the body battle, and with Jason's help it will happen sooner than you think!

    Jason's program covers it all: nutrition, cardio, resistance training. The training sessions are super challenging yet fun, the diet spartan (but you aren't hungry) and the cardio actually pretty easy. He sets you up with one of his great trainers ( I trained with Nicholas in Marina del Rey) and keeps an eye on your progress with online and face to face checkups. He really wants you to get the results! (Maybe more than you do...)

    An element of Jason's services that seems underrepresented here is the fact that he offers clients the option of training with his colleagues. In my case, Jason quickly sized up my needs and matched me with James Balazs (pronounced like "ballast" without the "t"), who works out of the Easton Gym on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. I've worked out with James for more than a year -- starting at age 53 and 40 pounds overweight -- and with his careful guidance have dropped my BP from dangerous to normal, my body-fat percentage from obese to normal, my weight from 250 to 214, my strength and well-being from lousy to good. James is a knowledgeable trainer, not some rep-counting moron who doesn't understand customizing workouts (of which there are far too many in this field). He's sensitive to clients' changing needs, never appears bored, is extremely attentive to correct form and keeps workouts varied. Plus, he's a genuinely good, honest, funny and communicable guy.

    Jason's program works only for those who follow it 100%, if you deviate you can only blame yourself if you don't get the results. He is hard working and very motivated to getting you the body you want. He also expects the same motivation from you. Follow his diet and excersie program and you will have a body to be proud of . =)

    I was a client of Jason's a couple of years ago, and I have never been in such good shape since. My mother is one of those people who repeats things over and over again, and she never stops reminding me of what good shape I used to be in. She keeps saying, remember when you were working out with "that guy, I couldn't believe you could look like that." Of course since then I have been preoccupied with other things, but if I wanted to get into really good shape again I would go see Jason. Also, I think that since then my muscle tone and shape is different than before I started training with him. It did change me overall even though I haven't worked out in a while. Anyway, he's a really great trainer, and if you want to get into great shape you can't go wrong with Jason.

    I have to echo the plethora of extremely positive reviews posted by others regarding Jason Kozma's knowledge and abilities as a personal trainer. I started training with Jason when he first arrived in California from Tennessee back in the mid-90's. Even then, Jason knew more about weight training, physiology, muscle building, fat loss, and nutrition than anyone I had ever met (of have met since). Jason has built a loyal following of clients who have trained with him for years, who enthusiastically recommend him to friends and family, and who come back to Jason over and over again for one reason -- RESULTS!!! This guy knows how to get you in shape and how to help you maintain a high level of fitness once you get there. That's what it's all about, isn't it? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! A+++!! (And if that's not enough, Jason is a lot of fun to train with (even while he's kicking your butt!)).

    I have been struggling with being too skinny my entire life. I had been trying to gain on my own for years but the results were far from impressive. Finally, I decided to invest in a trainer and I am so glad I picked Jason. He opened up my eyes to a whole new world of building up my body. He is very knowledgeable, instills motivation and discipline into my workouts and diet. He designed the workouts based on my specific needs. I gained 20lbs in just 2 months. It made me believe that with dedication I can achieve things I never thought could be possible. When I had to move and wasn't able to work out with him, he searched and recommended trainers he thought would be best for me. I would definitely go back to him whenever I can.

    Training with Jason and James is one of the best experiences I have had. Like everyone else, I dreaded going to the gym, but after a few weeks, training was one of the things I looked forward to every morning. Unlike other trainers, Jason and James truly care about you and your result. All you need to do is make sure you come in ready to work!

    If you put the time in and follow his fitness and nutrition plan (he details specifically for YOUR body) you will go beyond what you thought your 'best body' could be. No joke! His constant attention and positive attitude keep you focused on your goals - a burger and fries are no match for Kozma, he will win that fight and keep you on that treadmill. Two months into it, I'm already down two sizes and people have stopped calling me ma'am. I can also do more crunches than my military friend. Hoo-ah! Best investment of time and money I can think of, better results than plastic surgery. But again, you gotta put in the time and stick to the plan.

    Working with Jason and his team was my first experience with a trainer and an AWESOME experience. Not only did I learn SO much about the connection between diet and excercise, Jason and his team motivated me to put these lessons to use to achieve extraordinary results! Two months after finishing my training with Jason and his team, I had a baby. Throughout my pregnancy I was very fit, active and felt great and bounced back to five pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight just four months after having my baby (with little effort!). I attribute this to the body I created with High Performance Training and the knowledge I gained regarding diet and exercise. I am looking forward to using Jason and his team again to get back into top condition and stay there! And, did I metion that working with High Performance training was not only incredible as far as results and information but also, fun! Yes, getting fit was extremely fun in such a positive, high energy, fun-loving atmosphere!

    Kozma will get you where you want to go in record time. You just have to follow the program. Plus, he and his team are really fun so their energy help you get through those challenging workouts. This is money well invested. He will physically change your body and it will transform your life. Just follow his program to a tee and you will exceed your expectations in eight weeks. My wife and I both achieved our goals and are committed to maintaining this lifestyle. It feels so great.

    Period. I've trained with over 15 different personal trainers in my life. And all of them had different strengths, but Jason is the single best trainer I have ever worked with or encountered. He is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and will not stop until you have the body you want. He will push you to the max so you better be ready to work hard.

    Although living across the globe in Dubai, Jason was able to direct me in details in every single step of my diet, training and rest. Jason was following up with me almost everyday and was always ready to answer all my questions especially in the beginning days. I have been very pleased with him and I highly recommend him even on a correspondence basis he can take you very far. Alessandro, living in Dubai, U.A.E.

    I cant say enough great things about Jason. I've been very impressed with everything from how keen he is in identifying what I as an individual needed in terms of nutrition, supplements and excersize (one size does not fit all!), to just the integrity with which he manages his business. It has been life changing for me. I have been working out pretty vigorously on my own 4-7 days a week most of my adult life, but have never been able to achieve the results I got from with Jason in just 4 weeks! I've recommended him to everyone including my parents. If you have a vision of what you want to achieve, dont mind hard work, but cant stand spinning your wheels, Jason is your guy.

    Could Jason be the best trainer to walk this earth? Yes... He very well could be. If you've plateaued like I did or even if you never made it anywhere near that plateau, Jason can help you achieve things you never though possible. He has helped me in more ways than just looking better... Although being in the best shape of my life isn't bad. I feel better on the inside and I'm living a much healthier lifestyle than ever before. Everything he taught me I will remember forever. I hope to train with him in the future whenever I can and I'm recommending him to all my friends.

    I had been training on my own for over three years before signing up with Jason. I had made some pretty good progress and I thought I knew a thing or two, but I had just stagnated for the last year without any real gains. Fearing that this was just my body's limit I started training with Jason four times a week. As it turns out, I really needed it. Almost everything I thought I knew was wrong and Jason is still helping me re-train, but the gains have been nothing short of amazing. Jason's program puts together the complete package of diet and training. The two are absolutely inseparable (as I found out) and Jason doesn't just suggest a diet plan, it's a constant part of the training as he makes adjustments every week to find out what works best for your unique body and training goals. Thanks to Jason I'm not worried about hitting my body's limits any time soon and my workouts are no longer a chore. I look forward to learning a little something new every time I train.

    If you are looking for a quick fix or an easy workout, Jason is not the trainer for you. He's far too knowledgeable to let you slide by with a few messy reps and a single drop of sweat. If you are looking to get into the best shape of your life - and maintain it - give Jason a call. He and his team of trainers will make you work hard, but the results will be worth the effort. He combines diet, exercise and cardio into a personalized routine for you. If you're willing to put in the work, you'll be happy you did.

    I trained with Jason for two years and experience wonderful results, before moving to another country. With Jason's training I learned to practice and enjoy a healthy lifestyle and not just "go on a diet". It's been two years since my last lesson, but I still hear his powerful voice in my head everyday as I make decisions about my health and exercise. The result being I have not slid back into the way I was before Jason, and I can't imagine it even being possible. If you're serious about making changes, then turn to Jason.

    Jason is the best trainer out there. His knowledge of the body, his adherence to proper form and technique and his strong emphasis on diet combine to help you gain big results quickly. Whether you want to gain size, increase definition or drop the pounds, Jason is the trainer you want. He's not the kind of trainer that stands there, counts out 10 reps and then tells you you've done a good job. He will push you hard, motivate you and get you to levels of fitness you never thought possible. And afterall, isn't that what you want?

    If you are serious about getting in shape then Jason and his staff can help you achieve all your goals. His knowledge of fitness and nutrition are a testiment to the years of study and dedication that he has personally invested. I know a lot of people talk the talk, but this guy walks and walks as well. And he has a title to back it up. Make no mistake, he is the real deal and you won't be disappointed.

    After 2 years off from training I found myself 50lbs overweight and not feeling well. I contact High Performance training and found a team of professionals who clearly set goals and a plan for me to achieve them. Before my long layoff I had trained for years with several trainers and must say this was far and away the best training regiment I have even been put through. Besides training they created a diet plan and helped me change my way of life. After 90 days I had taken off most of the weight and now am in the best shape of my life.

    I considered myself a fairly educated gym rat before I trained with Jason. His combination of weight training tips and education along with dieting information helped me to progress much quicker than I would have without him. Jason works you hard, but he's serious about helping you obtain the goals you want.

    Jason cuts out the baloney, both from your diet and your workout, and gives you a straight forward gameplan for getting slamming. I worked out with him during my pregnancy and post partum, and got into great shape within 3 months of delivering my daughter. He really knows his stuff!

    I've been working out with Jason for two years now, and I couldn't be more pleased with my results. When I wanted to get skinny, he got me skinny. When I wanted to get muscular, he got me muscular. And, on top of all that, I genuinely enjoy working out with him. He's a pleasure to be around and makes me look forward to my training days. I could not recommend him more.
