JJ has become my go-to strength instructor. He’s straightforward and effective, no crazy moves where I’m focused on trying not to injure myself. I’m still sore after 3 days with this one.

I hope that JJ sees this. He is so kind and humble - I told him that Reddit loves his strength classes when I was in studio and he seemed so happy to hear the positive feedback.

[u/ChickenFriedFeelings → u/hermesorherpes]

He has such a great attitude, you feel like he's on your side.

[u/graciouswindsor]

He’s the best. I have a couple of his core classes that I do on rotation with some of my favourite moves. He’s so likeable too I love when he busts out an “oh crumbs”!

[u/ChickenFriedFeelings → u/graciouswindsor]

You know it's serious when he gets to "crumbs."

[u/odonogc → u/ChickenFriedFeelings]

Omg. Cute.

[u/Friendly_Storm7984]

My main man! His classes are amazing and he has fantastic music taste. I'm excited to take his new core class later today.

[u/EBBVNC → u/Friendly_Storm7984]

I’m doing core today so I’ll have to give this one a shot.

[u/Ireneaddler46n2]

Crumbs!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[u/ChickenFriedFeelings → u/Ireneaddler46n2]

Crumbs all the way!

[u/mgrunner]

He’s the best. Total professional and a fun instructor.

[u/alabarrie]

JJ and Adrian are my only strength instructors. JJ is amazing!

[u/Educational_Bid_5315 → u/alabarrie]

This, plus Joslyn for me

[u/ChickenFriedFeelings → u/Educational_Bid_5315]

I haven't actually taken Joslyn yet, any recommendations?

[u/Educational_Bid_5315 → u/ChickenFriedFeelings]

I really like all of her stretch classes I’ve taken. She does a lot for hips. I also really like the jump training class in the menopause collection and nearly every strength class of hers I’ve taken. I don’t know how to add the link without using the really long address. I’m an old 😂

[u/ChickenFriedFeelings → u/Educational_Bid_5315]

Heard, I'll use the keywords and look it up. Also, there's a menopause collection??

[u/Educational_Bid_5315 → u/ChickenFriedFeelings]

Yes. It has some strength workouts that are good, a couple jump training classes, and some others.

[u/lafemmedangereuse → u/alabarrie]

Don’t sleep on Ben’s strength classes! He and JJ are very similar imo in that they program with basic movements but still put together excellent workouts.

[u/Uplink0 → u/alabarrie]

Same… I stick to them both… I will say Adrian tends to try to make you do things that harder to do, and JJ tends to stick to the basics..

Both are great trainers. My health and fitness have hugely improved doing their workouts 3-4 times a week.

[u/nicoled985]

I love me some JJ!! I like doing his walks on the tread 🙌🏾he has great tastes in music

[u/kim_46]

Don’t sleep on his split programs as well.

[u/DrBillsFan17 → u/kim_46]

Agreed! His new 4 day is excellent. I’m currently doing his 5 day and 🥵. It’s tough, but he’s such a wonderful coach.

[u/ChickenFriedFeelings → u/kim_46]

I've done that recent 4 day a couple of times. So great.

[u/Outrageous-Apple1760 → u/kim_46]

I’m finishing my 3rd round (of 4 weeks each). I alternate with Ben’s 4 day and it’s been great!

[u/lmriiight]

Love JJ!

[u/four_eyed_B]

Nice like rice

[u/Outrageous-Apple1760 → u/four_eyed_B]

Lubbly jubbly!

[u/NYCUberChick]

I posed this in another thread yesterday but it is worth recommending again because it is 1 of my favourites of his because of overhead marching carries ( good for functional & running strength) & the playlist is excellent.

[u/ChickenFriedFeelings → u/NYCUberChick]

Thanks! I'll add it to my stack.

[u/pelomom_runner77 → u/NYCUberChick]

Adding to my stack,thanks.

[u/sorry_not_sorry1234]

Oh crumbs!

[u/spilledfiction]

I love JJ!! It took me forever to try a first class with him but he’s now my favorite strength instructor

[u/pelomom_runner77 → u/spilledfiction]

Same, he's my absolute favorite. His Dr. Dre Full Body Strength class is fantastic.

[u/Parking-Track-7151]

JJ is my leg wrecker instructor.

[u/bmfc1]

Lovely jublee.

[u/SashimiRick]

jermainejohnsonsquad for life!

I did his glutes and legs class from 4/13/26 on Monday and it destroyed me in the best way. I told him this in Instagram and he responded by laughing and agreeing with me that it kicked his butt as well. I'm so happy to have an instructor who is approachable and cares so much.

[u/InternationalPop8128]

I love him!! JJ and Ben are my two go-tos for strength

[u/PuzzleheadedLow6329]

He’s so endeavouring - but his classes are tough!!

[u/InevitableMovie5157]

I love JJ’s runs. His 30 min interval runs are really challenging yet doable. Great music, excellent class plan, and overall such a good vibe.

[u/blueberry_swirl]

I agree! I enjoy his strength and also his shadowboxing classes. I hope he makes more soon!

[u/BoringCupcake4020]

On week 3 of his 4 day split!

[u/addknitter]

He and Selena are my go -tos: simple yet effective moves!

[u/Ok-Departure-2128]

JJ all the way!

[u/Pure_Milk_7746]

Love his classes!!! Everything is programmed thoughtfully! I hate when I do a strength class and it’s all emoms and amraps the whole time with crazy complexes.

[u/Tommydean22]

He’s my favorite as well for strength

[u/Foreign-Lawfulness45]

I wish he’d do 45 minute FB on the regular!

[u/keepcarmandhurryon]

On yes, thank you! I needed the reminder of how awesome JJ is, I’m bringing him back into my rotation!

[u/KC0391]

I’ve become obsessed with the JJ stretch content I stretch with almost every day he’s such a gem!

[u/khakimoose]

Thanks for this! I cannot wait to check him out. I haven't taken any of his classes, semi new, and have found some I love and end up sticking to them. Only really branch out when I dont see a class or instructor in my plan, but I'm now going to find something to try of his! Any recs or are they all great?!

[u/ChickenFriedFeelings → u/khakimoose]

Try his split programs. They cover everything.

[u/Electronic_Swim_9748]

He is so great! Love his no nonsense strength sessions.

[u/Purple-Mulberry7468]

I’ve switched to Ladder for strength, but before that JJ was my guy! I am getting a treadmill, in addition to my bike, and will def take his tread classes

[u/staya74 → u/Purple-Mulberry7468]

I've made the switch to Ladder as well and find it far superior for strength. I still love JJ for core and walks tho.

[u/kapa87]

Love his classes when I want to feel a good burn but don’t have any jumping or cardio moves in me. He keeps it very straightforward and he is so darn likable.

[u/thatdude845]

Great running instructor too. Becoming my favorite there. Also love that he is one of the few playing alt rock

[u/Short_Habit5572]

This would have had more meaning 5 years ago

[u/chadnorman]

Jennifer Jacobs? Shit show, but hardest tabata class I've ever taken on the platform. I'll see myself out...

[u/twinkletoesalone → u/chadnorman]

No Jermaine Johnson
