Jon Quinn

"I started Captain Quinn's Fitness Boot Camp because I am passionate about fitness and serving others through fitness education. This is a second career path I chose late in life . I  believe deeply in the power of fitness to transform lives. I'd love the opportunity to share that passion with you (and your friends!)"

Jon Quinn is a Certified Personal Trainer and an Air Force veteran. His dedication to fitness has spanned over twenty years of service in the military, the private sector, and in non-profit organizations.

From his initial weeks of basic training, to graduating first in his Reserve Officer Training Program at Syracuse University and throughout his career as an Air Force officer, Jon experienced first hand the benefits of group exercise - military style. As a training officer (think "Drill Sergeant") for new recruits, Jon designed and led programs to develop the strength, endurance, confidence, and discipline essential to active duty military service and leadership. From those early days of designing and running health and fitness programs for Air Force officer candidates, through preparing active duty military personnel for the physical and emotional rigors of deploying around the globe, to coaching and training family and members of his Brooklyn community, to working in health & fitness clubs, and even running marathons, Jon has experienced first hand a very fundamental truth:  A healthy body - a body ready, able, and eager to move, to jump, to walk, to run, to work, to play – is the foundation for a healthy, happy mind and soul.

Lauren encourages her students to push themselves to their personal
limit and find their inner strength to accomplish goals they never
thought possible. Her own motivation for achieving greatness stems
from her background as a competitive skier.  Lauren began skiing when
she was nine years old for the Olympic Mountain Whiteface's NASTAR
Youth Alpine Racing Team.  Lauren continued to race throughout high
school and college. During the off-seasons she was committed to dry
run training, consisting of various calisthenic and plyometric
exercises.

Lauren feels right at home with Captain Quinn's Fitness Boot Camp.
The workouts are similar to her competitive skiing training, just way
more fun!!  Her positive mental attitude and high energy will motivate
you to PUSH yourself to your limits and achieve your goals.  Although
it's up to YOU to be the CHANGE you want to see, Lauren will
definitely help you get there!!
