A former Olympic swimmer, Jon Jon Park has been an in-demand international personal trainer for more than four decades. He is known for his command of muscle conditioning and performance techniques, and for his exacting, highly customized approach with each client that he trains. Notably, Jon Jon has trained numerous world-class athletes including former professional boxer Oscar de la Hoya and former professional basketball player Vlade Divac, among others.
