Before I met John Black, I wasn’t able to make that last step in my development. After a good screening and trainingplan I made huge steps in my career. I became stronger, faster and fitter than ever. John knows how to trigger you. Even when you think you can’t he is taking you trough that last barrier. John is not only a personal coach, he is also a good people manager and friend. It was a pleasure working with john.196648

I started to train with John Black to become as fit as possible for my transfer from Cambuur to De Graafschap. My manager advised me to go to John and from the first training on I was very pleased with him.
Despite the fact that the training sessions with John were hard, I really enjoyed working together with John . He got the most out of me, works very structured and explains exactly why is each exercise is good for you.
In addition, he delivered a recovery drink immediately after every strength workout. I have ended all training sessions with a satisfied and proud feeling.
I think it's super cool to work with John. The good and informal atmosphere at Basic Black certainly contributes to this.
I can recommend John Black to every professional athlete!8A598564-497C-48B0-9352-668996F8D5AB-7676-00000601A91C07A0

For me, Basic Black is the perfect program. I was very impressed by the will John showed to bring me back to my old level after my injuries. John Black and his team are true experts in this field, plain and simple.124772

The Basic Black training regime made me fitter, faster and stronger than ever. I’ve always had trouble becoming truly fit, but since training with John this is all in the past. With so much attention for detail and by going for maximum results together, John helped me get the most out of every training and achieve my goals.Michelle_Fillet

I bought a one-way ticket to get here, hoping I was good enough to be able to stay. Two weeks after arriving, they let me play on the second team. I did well and managed to score a goal. I could stay. Performing at my very best, I worked my way up to the first team. There, I discovered I needed professional coaching to continue to improve and reach the next level. Bart van Hintum told me about John. Our first training was tough as nails, but it keeps getting better. We’re training towards physical goals: to become faster, stronger, fitter and more agile. I mostly feel the difference in my condition. Thanks to training with John, I’m able to play longer. But the mental aspect is important too: ‘mind over body’. That’s what helps you remain focussed in games with overtime. At the end of the day, my goal is to be the best I can be. I want to say I am the best Ryan Thomas I can be. That right now, I’m the best soccer player I can be.ryan thomas

John Black’s Basic Black program truly delivers the total package. John is a pure professional. He lives for his craft and is a master at bringing out the best in you. After a thorough screening, John effectively locates problems and helps you fix them in a way that fits you and your goals. All while being one of the friendliest personal trainers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Annet Gerritsen

I’ve gotten to know John through my manager Cankut Ercan, while struggling with a soccer injury. After 4 to 5 months of training with John I was able to get back to it succesfully. John taught me exercises to make me physically stronger, fitting with my training regime as a professional soccer player. After just a couple of his courses, I told John this was the toughest I’d ever trained. John’s regime is incomparable with any training we do at the club. Not just physical, but also mentally. John can really give you that boost you need to keep going. His vision and lessons ignite the fire to keep pushing and give it your all. If I see people around me struggling with the same things I used to, I don’t hesitate to reccomend John as a performance coach. From my experience, John is by far the best coach a professional sports player can work with.leandro_kappel

I trained with John a few weeks and I had a good time, while also improving myself. I learned how to train, but also what to train. When you train with John, it’s about your mind and also about how strong you are in your head. Because trainings with him are tough, but that’s only because they will help you improve yourself. You're gonna be better and stronger than ever training with John, it’s just that simple. I enjoyed every single second of the training. Training with John will improve you, physically, but also mentally. Thats what you need. Step by step.Josef_Kvida

PEC scouted me because they saw something in me. But I still had to prove myself, though. I can’t describe the emotion that went through me when I first heard I could play a match. Bart van Hintum was already training with John and I saw him becoming stronger and fitter after each session. That’s what I wanted too. After two weeks, I started noticing the difference: on the field, I’m stronger, I can carry on longer, spring further… I can play for ninety minutes straight on a full tank. That’s an incredible improvement in my condition. I feel free, I feel loose. My advice: be patient and believe in yourself. My hard work and dedication to John’s teachings is starting to pay of: they can’t ignore me anymore.image_2014

For years, an auto-immune disease tore my body and mind to shreds. It was thanks to John’s care and training that I got back on my feet. Now, I’m able to take care of myself both physically and mentally. John has helped my reach my goals and kept pushing to achieve them on my own strength. He’s always taken the time to plan the best course of action together with me. I’m back on the right level right now and fitter than I’ve ever been. I’ve taken the last hurdles by myself, but the start - the most difficult part - I got over all thanks to John.IMG_1321_Fotor

Since the age of 17, I’ve played professional soccer for SC Heerenveen, Go Ahead Eagles, SC Cambuur and FC Emmen. Currently, I represent Turkey at Şanlıurfaspor. During holidays I return to The Netherlands to visit family and friends, but also to train. To stay fit and motivated at the same time, I’ve sought the expertise of John Black. I wanted to train as hard as I could, to keep improving myself. John helped me immensly and in a very personal way, especially in a difficult phase of my carreer. He has dedicated a lot of time to my training and for that I am forever grateful. Oguzhan Türk

John prepared me for my very first bodybuilding match. He was there from day one. Every question I asked, he had an answer for. And even if I had trouble while training at another gym, he still dropped everything to help me. It’s this dedication that made me want to work even harder. John not only has the right network, but also the exact knowledge needed to get you where you want to be, both physically and mentally. He had my back at all times. Especially the last few weeks, when training became really intense, he was there for me. I had back trouble, but thanks to John and his team I was able to train pain-free. And the result of my first match? It was amazing.Kirsten Scholten
