Hi John,

Just wanted to say thank you so much for all the great advice on your videos. Finally someone tells the truth....you have answered questions for me which I have had for years.

Re: your advice on the videos....Ever since I started with Pyruvate Burn, Glutamine Express, and much higher protein, I am recovering much faster from workouts, am more solid, and have experienced a considerable drop in body fat....even without aerobics.  I even sleep more soundly! 

Thanks so much again, and it's nice to know that someone has cut through the morass of incorrect and deliberately misleading information put out by both the government and the sports nutrition industry...(hope you become fabulously wealthy, if that's what you want....you have earned it)

Sincerely,
Lee

My name is Dennis and I am 59 years old and have been working out since age 53 (6 years). I routinely have people coming up to me commenting on my body results.

When I first started working out at age 53 I weighed 130 lbs. . At age 59 years I currently weigh 184 lbs with my body fat at 6.5%. It took me four years to reach 157 lbs and then I plateaued.  At that time I purchased some of your tapes which taught me a better way to work my abs as well as other body parts. Most important I have been following your nutrition advice  to make it possible for me to have the body I have now.  At age 59 I  have a body of a 25 year old.  Thanks to your tapes I have stopped the aging process of  my body.  I continue to hear from people that I am an inspiration to them.  It's been a joy to help improve another person's life as well as my own..

Even with my busy schedule I still find time to workout 4 to 5 days a week in the gym as well as doing cardio and ab workouts in the mornings at home. I truly feel that my story would be an inspiration for all ages especially men and women over 50 years of age.

John,

I've been working out regularly 3x weekly since 1983, primarily with free weights with very little improvement in muscle mass.  I'd become vegetarian in 1974 and was not getting enough protein, maybe 40 grams a day at the most, with six hours of sleep for years (since '81 from working third shift), and, being mildly asthmatic, I regularly use a Ventolin inhaler 2x daily.  I understand now that asthma inhalers, as well as caffeine, depletes the adrenals which in turn raises the level of cortisol, the stress hormone, which in turn lowers testosterone.  Essentially, even if I had planned it, I couldn't have done a better job at defeating my attempts to build muscle on this thin frame for so many years.

As I started your program around 8 weeks or less ago  I weighed 195lbs (small gains over the years, 18 years, unbelievably) and in the short time of 8 weeks or so I've gained 8 or 9 lbs in new muscle.  I'm amazed!  I have to tell you it's a bit hard to believe given the length of time and effort I've put into this discipline with such disappointing returns prior to starting your program.  My strength is going up dramatically and I'm starting to see a difference.
 
Thanks so much for your advice.

Sincerely,
Robert

Dear John,
 
I absolutely love the 45Min FAT BURNING WORKOUT tape. You have a winner in that one.  The first few times were brutal but I felt great.  Now I do it at
the correct pace and it is still great.  No lie, I look forward to doing it.  And I have noticed great improvements in my fitness/looks.  Thanks so much.

I have to tell you the Awesome Hour Upper Body Home Workout really kicks butt!!!!  I can't tell you what a great time and a great workout I had.  Thanks so much.  I learned a lot from that tape and I swear I saw results after only doing the workout twice.  I really couldn't believe it.  Of course, I'm working out with less than 1/2 the weights that you're working with but at least I know how many sets, reps, and weight amounts to strive for.

 

That Upper Body Home Workout tape is truly great stuff.  Thanks John!

 

Have Fun,

ANOTHER LETTER FROM DAVE RECEIVED 1 MONTH LATER

 

Dear John,

 

I can’t tell you how happy I am with the results I’m getting from that Awesome Hour Upper Body Home Workout tape.  It's only been a month but I'm just about up to 1/2 of what you’re lifting in the video. It's a struggle to keep up but so far so good.

 

I was on your website the other day and I really like the advice about eating small meals every three hours.

 

Thanks for everything John.

Hi - I hope all is well with everyone  at FMS!
 
Attached are a few pictures of me taken  today - only about 5 weeks into your program.  I am extremely  happy with the results I have achieved and thought it would be good to show you my progress.  I received your tapes as a Christmas present (it was on my list) and could not be happier.  I am a father of two, work for a major Pharmaceutical company as the Director of Operations, and with everything going on, like most of us, let's just say I am extremely busy!  With this said, I must admit that it would be easy to fall into the trap that most people do and make excuses for not exercising/eating well.  Your program has given me the motivation I needed to take the time to improve my physical appearance while improving my health.

 

Your tapes are very easy to follow and have such great nutritional advice.  I have told friends and family this is not a diet, certainly not a fad, it really gives you the tools to make changes to your eating habits without feeling you are being deprived.  For most people, it is hard to change your eating patterns without the direction of someone like John.  John breaks down what is good to eat, what you should avoid, and when to eat, ultimately giving you the opportunity to see what you otherwise would not have thought possible.
 

The exercise routine is also great.  Most people go to the gym and do the same few exercises they know best, without achieving noticeable results.  John shows you how to workout effectively, in less time than you would imagine, and achieve results that  motivate you to keep going!
The supplements are also wonderful!  There are so many things on the market today that for the average person to try and figure out what works is almost impossible.  People get very frustrated because the money spent did not  produce the results that were advertised.  John obviously has tested these products and recommends what works best.  It takes all the guess work out of it and at the end of the day you have a quality product that works!

I am thrilled to have received your tapes and I've completely incorporated them into my lifestyle.  When I speak to friends and colleagues about FMS the interest level is very high as this is not a "magic pill" type of plan that sets unrealistic expectations; instead it's a way of incorporating exercise and nutrition into your life.  When I hear people joke "it's not fair, you look great," that's when I let them know that they too can benefit from FMS.   I look forward to  my continued success and want to give you all at FMS, especially John, a big Thank you!!!  Keep up the great work.  I only hope you advertise even more and get the word out to more people so they too can enjoy the benefits of FMS!!!
 
Best Regards,
Peter
