We had the good fortune of connecting with Jon Nicolas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jon, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Everyone is looking for the fountain of youth; the wealth of health and happiness and truthfully that dream breaks down as the ability to maintain your strength, mobility and longevity. Those three words are the pillar of Fresh Fitness & Stretch Therapy. To help individuals maintain their independence as they age, to keep athletes playing at their best while minimizing injuries and to help people make healthier lifestyle choices. That is the thought process behind starting my own business. A passion for people and helping individuals maintain and/or improve their quality of life.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Fresh Fitness & Stretch Therapy is a fitness company that targets strength and mobility as a means to the longevity of health and wellness to all individuals. Like many fitness companies, our priority is to help people reach and beat their fitness goals. What sets us apart is how we educate and empower our clients through fitness. We aim to decrease restrictive and disabling conditions by improving muscular and cardiovascular strength, increasing mobility & range of motion in the body by way of fascial stretching and functional training. Our aim is to leave you feeling & moving better than ever before.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Growing up, my first role model was my mother. Back then I did not understand how her work ethic, athleticism and healthy life choices would have affected me. But we have a saying in my family; “More is caught then is taught”. And she exemplified how making healthy lifestyle choices in addition to staying active helps keep the body looking and feeling young. Her support throughout my collegiate career as an athlete and even now continues to amaze and encourage me and I can do nothing but be so grateful for all she’s done for me. I am the man I am today largely because of the choices she made for me back then.
