Testimonials
"As a mom, I’ve spent so much time and money on my kids’ dance lessons, skating lessons, guitar lessons, piano lessons… working out with John is an appointment I make for myself!
I have been training with John since 2018 with amazing results. I’ve avoided “middle aged spread” and have a lot more energy throughout my day. I had knee surgery last year and never needed PT because John’s full body workouts target the accessory muscles for greater stability.
Workouts with John are intense but a lot of fun with his humor and encouragement. You’ll rarely do the same exercises twice - he likes to keep it interesting! I highly recommend giving him a try!"

"I have been working with John since the first of the year. I am 73 years old and out if shape. He listens to your goals and tells you if they are realistic. I have been able to not only loose 12 pounds, but I also have more energy for my age. I would highly recommend John as a trainer."

"When I began with Sole Training I was in the absolute worst shape of my life. There is even a special word for what I was and its called de-conditioned. Basically that means I had to start my training by watching a video of someone doing a push-up because I could not do one
myself. Now it is five short months later and I am now not only doing push-ups with good form and power, I am also doing burpees. Yes, burpees. Bottom line is John Dye is a master at what he does, his knowledge about training the body is impressive, no where more so in the fact that I have never once left a workout session in pain, nor have I had to skip a session because I could not recover in time for the next one. Training with John has allowed me to move freely again. I will never be an Olympic weight lifter, but I can get on and off the floor and move around more easily than I have in a very long time. Working out with John is the best gift, reward, and opportunity I have ever given to myself. While my success came from my grit and desire to get back in shape, I could never have shown it as I have without his guidance,
support and positivity. Thank you John, you have helped me more than you know."

"Never having used a personal trainer before, I had no idea what to expect when I first started working out, more than four years ago, with John Dye, owner of Sole Training. What I have found in John is an excellent, knowledgeable, and fun personal trainer. We started
slowly, given that I was in my early 60’s and out of shape when we began. I’m delighted to report that I am no longer out of shape! Every session, John has a new workout planned that continues to build my strength while improving my aerobic conditioning. He’s adaptable,
creative, and flexible and adjusted our workouts accordingly, while I was recovering from pneumonia and later when my arm was injured.
John is highly attuned to what I can handle, offers encouragement just when I need it and never hesitates to push me to take things to the next level. Whether I am working out in his studio in New Hampshire or doing a FaceTime workout while I am in Florida – the result is the same – a challenging, demanding, and fun workout. John has an impressive depth of knowledge and a fantastic personality. If you want a trainer who knows what he is doing, has fun doing it and can deliver results - John is the trainer you want to work out with! Give it a try - you won’t regret it!"
