I am in Santa Monica for 6 weeks from Australia and wanted to find a trainer. I was so lucky that I found Jason Kozma on the internet and was really impressed with the photos of before and afters and the testimonials. I am 61 years old and have been to many gyms and lots of different weight loss program’s, always finding it hard to loose that weight around the middle.
I have lost 12 pounds so far, more weight over the past 3 weeks than I have after dieting for months. I can’t believe it!! Jason is pretty amazing. I am eating more now than what I ever did,I was always wanting to put something sweet in my mouth and now I don’t even think about it and I am never hungry. Jason’s weight training is hard but I feel great and he is so big on technique, it has to be just right. I am getting fitter and stronger and my posture is so much better. I’m a hairdresser and always bending over people. I feel I’m standing a lot taller and am much more aware of my body position.I will be going back to Australia a new person. Thanks Jason, I have never had a trainer who helped me so much with my eating and also putting me on to the right supplements and a training program designed for me. Can’t wait to see myself in another 3 weeks. Jason also looked up a few gyms for me to go to when I go home. Jason is the person to see if you want to look great,feel great and become a lot healthier.

I have always wanted to compete in a bikini competition. I made up my mind and went to Jason after checking out his impressive personal trainer website! He built a plan for me around the amount of time I had to train before the competition date! I got a huge list of foods and plenty of exercises to keep me going. I was always sweating and feeling good after my weight training sessions! I started with Jason at 24% body fat and 127lbs. Eight weeks later, I was down to 20% body fat and 125 lbs. By competition day (15 weeks from day 1), I weighed in at 123 and 16% body fat. I lost 8% body fat and tons of inches everywhere, including 3 off each thigh!! My scale only dropped a few pounds which let me know that even while I was dropping fat like crazy, I wasn’t losing muscle – in fact I was replacing the fat by building more muscle! If you want results and fast – hire this man as your personal trainer and follow the rules! It CAN be done!

After I suffered a tragic motorcycle accident that led to the loss of part of my leg, I was not able to work out for a little over a year. One day I realized that I needed to force myself out of the couch and back into the gym, but due to the amount of muscle atrophy, I decided to look for a personal trainer. After meeting with at least five trainers in LA, I decided to go with Jason. He understood my particular situation and adapted every single exercise to my needs. He’s the best out there, bar none.
I’ve been working with Jason for over a year now and have seen outstanding results in that time. I have never felt so healthy and strong! Jason creates a comfortable atmosphere and then pushes you to work hard. Each session is challenging and consistent. He makes sure my form is correct and has recently helped me get back into the swing of working out post-surgery.
Jason motivates me to push past what I thought were my physical limits to get amazing results with my workouts and my eating habits. I have boundless energy, and my shape and muscle tone have improved immensely from where I started. Initially I started to take off the excess weight; now that I have maintained my desired weight for over a year, I’m setting new goals for strength, growth and maintenance.
If you are truly serious about living a fit lifestyle, Jason will lead you there with the perfect combination of tough love and warmth. Because of his efforts, I am not only stronger, I enjoy working out, I don’t dread hitting the gym-when you get results, you want to stick with it!
Jason knows how to make his clients look great AND he goes out of his way to help them keep the results they worked so hard for. There’s a reason why he has a big following. I recommend Jason to anyone who wants to look the way they’ve always wanted to!
Jason is a consummate professional with a strong reputation, a long history, proven success and staying power in an industry full of “here today gone tomorrow” trainers and businesses. He is a go-to resource and expert in his field.
I have has referred numerous fitness and athletic rehabilitation clients to Jason Kozma. He is an outstanding fitness expert who is able to apply practical kinesiology and nutrition ideals to a wide client base with varying fitness and health needs. Jason simply gets results! We highly recommend and endorse his services.
Jason is a serious personal trainer that gets the results you are looking for. He posses all the skills and knowledge anyone would want in a personal trainer. He takes his job seriously but has fun with his clients, and shows them that exercise can also be fun as well.

Hips down 4 inches and waist down 2 inches in 8 weeks!
Being a dancer (hip hop, jazz, ballet) most of my life, I had always been able stay in decent shape. However, after college I wasn’t able to maintain this level of activity and settled into a sedentary lifestyle and bad eating habits. I needed a drastic lifestyle change, so I decided to sign up for Jason’s 8 week program and am amazed by my results.
I’ve lost a total of 14lbs so far and have dropped 1% off my body fat every week! In addition to being more toned, I also have more energy and have learned the importance of strength training, cardio and eating a clean diet. Jason has been very motivational and has kept me on track the whole way. I couldn’t have chosen a more knowledgeable trainer to help me achieve my goals and go beyond what I thought was possible. Every week I get more and more compliments from friends and family on what I have accomplished and I know that all of my hard work is paying off.
I have completely changed the way that I eat and exercise and feel so much happier and healthier thanks to Jason.
Thanks so much!
Jason has the most professsional and effective personal trainers. I was very pleased with the results I obtained and the reasonable prices. I would recommend his services without hesitation specially if you want to take your fitness to a much higher level.
Very excited this week – finally hit the 20 lb. mark on Friday night (by Saturday after my workout it was up a pound again though).
Either way – my body is changing, none of my clothes fit and I feel awesome. I’m getting my ass kicked during our sessions, but I LOVE it. Would never push myself that hard on my own and I appreciate it.Here it is: (again – very happy with everything and am getting super amped and excited with what I’ve been able to do).
Thanks!
I did – down to 146 as of yesterday.
(Also, I’m in my size 29 jeans – down from a size 31 for the first time in 2 years – so happy)
I signed up for personal training with Jason when I was starting my first year of law school. I was feeling terrible about my body because I went from being in the best shape of my life after college to gaining a whole bunch of weight while working a stressful summer job for a judge. Jason assigned me to train with Deena. Deena quickly helped me get back on track, and I had lost fifteen pounds training with her. She was always supportive and checking in with me to make sure that I was meeting my goals. She also helped me to get a good portion of the muscle strength that I lost back, which made me look more lean and strong. I immediately had more energy and confidence.
After working with Deena for a little over a year, I switched to training with James to better fit my schedule. I have trained with trainers since I was 15 years old as an athlete and none have been as technically knowledgeable as James. He knows how to push me to my limits, how to recognize my weak points, and how to push me to be better. I have never been as strong or as free of injuries as I am right now. James biggest strength is making the workout enjoyable, even when it is tough and my physical limits are being stretched.
I have had wonderful experiences with both James and Deena and would recommend Jason Kozma’s Los Angeles Personal Training to anyone!
Prior to coming to Jason, I had been trying to lose 10 pounds for the last two and a half years. I travel 75% of the time for work and entertain clients over dinner and drinks for a good portion of that. Although I worked out fairly regularly, I found it hard to commit to a diet and finally gave up, eating when and what I wanted most of the time. When Jason and I met, I wasn’t that hopeful he would be able to craft a diet for me that could work while on the road. However, after committing to his plan, I was able to stay on the diet and exercise routine for almost 2 and-a-half months, losing 13 lbs during that time. I lost two pant sizes and noticed a difference in my overall appearance and energy levels. I was also able to transition into a new, less extreme way of eating that hasn’t caused me to gain the weight back.
Jason is a true professional who leads by example. His expertise and deep knowledge are unparalleled, and through his long-term commitment to the art of fitness he has developed the mastery to train at the highest level. Jason is recommended to the maximum.
Jason is a life changer! I came to him with a typical expectation of a personal trainer. “Give me one more rep.” “You can do it.” Instead what I got was an expert who crafted a complete workout and nutritional plan customized to help me achieve my objectives. He took the time to help me define my desired state and monitored my progress throughout offering advice and making modifications along the way. Jason’s programs aren’t about quick fixes. They’re about lifestyle changes and the results are obvious and measurable. Two and a half years later, i can still reach out to Jason for advice. On numerous occasions, I’m applauded by fellow gym members for my transformation. And every time, I refer them to Jason.
Jason was extremely professional, on time, focused, and a no-nonsense, results oriented trainer. He pushed me hard, was consistent, made excellent recommendations, and got me better results than I ever imagined. His integrity and knowledge were clearly above his counterparts as I could visually see the difference between my time spent with him compared to other trainers in the gym and their client’s results.
Jason is a true expert in his field; he effortlessly taps into his knowledge and experience to deliver quality training, which, if followed correctly, produces quality results. And he’s fun!
I worked out with one of Jason’s trainers for over two years and interacted with him and took his advice multiple times a week during that period. I would seriously recommend that anyone looking for an awesome personal trainer have a chat with him. Not only does he know his business, but he is just an all around cool guy. It is evident from the shape he keeps himself in that he really knows his way around nutrition, fitness, and the gym – but despite all this he is super friendly and accessible to anyone at whatever stage of their fitness journey. He won’t let you get away with any excuses though…he is there to seriously kick your butt into shape, and you won’t regret it.
Hi Jason,
I BELIEVE IN YOU thats why I’ve been following you. I saw a supporter of me in you. I respect you a lot and hence I want to inform you that in just 15 days, I’ve lost 4.5 kg of my weight, the credit is all yours.
Jason, Thank you so much for being there for me. You are an angel……
Love, Pragnya
Jason is the missing link. No, I don’t mean the human evolutionary one, but the best and only connection that I know of between the world of professional bodybuilding (where athletes dramatically improve their shapes) and the world of every-day personal training. For over a decade, I have either worked out with Jason, watched him train other clients, or watched him do his own workouts. By taking the proven techniques from the sport of bodybuilding and tailoring them to the everyday goals of his clients, Jason gets fantastic results with noticeably predictable regularity. I came to Jason at an age and a point in my career where I was not so optimistic about ever looking great again. And then, a couple of years later, people started saying to me: “Dude, you are ripped.” Trust me, it was a lot of fun hearing that. Thanks for your help, JK—it was essential. John M.
Jason, I just want to thank you for all the help and guidance you gave me with my diet. I know I had some special needs, but your plan was easy to follow and definitely got me going in the right direction. I found out I was lactose intolerant because of you, and eliminating dairy has changed my life more than you know!! I still follow your eating plan, eating 5 meals a day, I been able to modify the carb / protein ratio to fit my special needs. I have kept the weight off that I came to you to lose and I am eating around 1500 calories a day!

Jason was great at helping me reach my goal weight in record time. I’m 5’1 and I lost my goal of 9 pounds in 6 weeks, with his very strict diet plan and exercise regimen. I worked out for years and never got the results I wanted, mainly because I thought I could eat whatever I wanted, since I worked out.
Jason made me realize the importance of what you put in your mouth and how it makes a huge difference in your results. It takes a while to get used to eating this way, but I’m still following the diet, even after I’ve met my goal. I feel better and have more energy. Jason was always available to answer my questions and to help me understand why I should follow this eating plan.
As a nurse, I thought I understood how nutrition affected my body, but there was a lot I learned from Jason. My diet and workouts are much more effective, and I’m not wasting my time. If you are serious about changing your lifestyle and eating habits, I highly recommend working with Jason. He makes you accountable and you will definitely see results.
This guy always stays at the top of his game. He is not the type of a trainer who comes and goes, if you know what I mean. He is very precise when it comes to nutritional plans (I would not call it a “diet” but rather a healthy eating). He chooses best personal trainers for his team. Specify your goals, and he will tell you in details how to achieve them.
The area in which I live does not understand bodybuilding. I found Jason Kozma to help me get on the right track to become a bodybuilder. He helps me with nutrition, supplements and how to work out. I appreciate his guidance and expertise and is great to work with. Online training client – mass gain
I’ve had personal trainers on and off in the past 12 years, but Jason’s training and nutrition program is the only program that’s ever gotten me as close as I am now to achieving the body I’ve only dreamed about. In only 4 weeks I gained 9 pounds of muscle and lost 6 pounds of fat, going from 20% down to 15% body fat — and those are crazy results! I get compliments left and right every week and everyone wants to know how I’m doing it or who I’m training with! You will absolutely achieve the body you want with Jason’s training and guidance!
Jason is a very diligent personal trainer; he truly cares that I achieve my goals, and that’s priceless. I will use the valuable knowledge that I received from Jason in connection with my diet and training tips for the rest of my life. I’ve been training with one of Jason’s high performance team members. He is a very gifted trainer who motivates me to work hard and designs training programs that target specific areas that I want to improve. He always stays very supportive and professional. I feel confident because I know that Jason will always have a plan how to continue making improvements to my physique.
When I came to Jason Kozma for help, I had already been working out very consistently on a daily basis for the past 7 years of my life, and was at somewhat of a plateau with my physique. I wasn’t somebody looking for a personal trainer for motivation to get to the gym or to help me push harder. What I needed was fine tuning to my already rigorous diet and workout regimen. I needed very specific and detailed information, only attainable from someone with the knowledge acquired through many years of personal, hands-on experience down in the trenches. After all, like most other sports, you can’t become an expert by reading a book or getting a certificate; practice makes perfect.
The sport of physique competition has many tricks-of-the-trade that you won’t learn from a conventional nutritionist or personal trainer. I had 3 major goals when contacting Jason. I wanted to put on 15 pounds of muscle, compete in another men’s physique competition, and most important of all, rehabilitate my injured shoulder that had severely limited my performance and development for the past 5 years. I can now confidently say that all 3 are part of an accomplished mission.
All training sessions were conducted with a high level of attention and personal interest on Jason’s behalf. As for the 15 pounds, the day I met Jason I weighed 176 pounds, now I weight exactly 190. All 14 pounds are muscle, no extra fat. As for the injured shoulder, I had gone through a fair share of downtime and physical therapy; nothing seemed to work and I had somewhat lost hope of a full recovery.
What other non-bodybuilder therapists were unable to do was understand the source of the recurring irritation in my shoulder. Aside from assigning rehabilitation exercises, more importantly, Jason quickly noticed a subtle flaw in my bench-pressing technique and corrected it. That was, without a doubt, the factor has single-handedly restored my shoulder to a nearly full recovery after 5 whole years without any significant improvement. At first the price seemed a bit steep. Now, looking back, I feel like there wouldn’t have been much of an alternative to achieve the kinds of improvements I was able to achieve, and I am glad I spent the extra buck for some quality service.
Thanks for all the good work, Jason!
I have lost 25lbs, I know from week 1 to week 5 lost 10% body fat…and feel a hellofalot better. I’ll come see you at the end of the 8 weeks!

Thanks Jason! Feel free to put my photos up on your site – your advice really got me to the most ripped I have ever been!
Twice, when all else has failed, I’ve signed on for a killer regimen with Jason. It ain’t fun, but it sure works! Twenty-five (25) lbs. in 12 weeks the first time; 12 pounds in 1 month this time.
Checking in 3 months later:
Hi Jason,
Thanks for checking in with me. I’m doing great! Still holding the line on my 12 pound weight-loss from my October program with you. What is especially wonderful is that, because I did the work in Oct., I got through the holidays with no weight gain–and sometimes a weight loss.
Happy new year and best regards!
Jason is a terrific trainer. His Online Personal Training program has helped make my body the best it’s ever been. I’m now able to do things that I could never do before. For instance, before Jason, I could only do one pull-up. Now I can do three sets of fifteen. Also for the first time in my life have a six pack! He completely changed my diet and is very well versed at how you can lose fat and gain muscle. He’s also very patient and professional. Highly recommended.
I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve been off done with your services for a while now but I have continued to use them in my diet and training, that is the information you gave me for my online diet and training weight gain.
I started at about 165 or 170 and am now 190 at 8% body fat. I feel and look great.
I will highly recommend you to friends.
Thanks for everything,
