While "Fish in a Pouch" may not sound delicious, this quick, clean and tasty dish is one of my favorites. This all in one meal takes less than 10 minutes to prep and 30 minutes to cook. It's perfect to make for one person or a big dinner party and requires almost no clean up. You can use any starches, veggies and fish you like including cod, halibut or salmon and you can also toss in shrimp or scallops.

There is no "one size fits all" solution to fitness. I help my clients safely and effectively reach their fitness goals by integrating exercise, nutrition and regeneration coaching into customized programs that fit their bodies and lifestyles. This holistic approach helps ensure my clients achieve sustainable results.
Jonathan Jordan (JJ) is a Tier 3+ Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor at Equinox in San Francisco's Financial District. Specialities include; weight loss, increasing lean muscle mass, nutritional coaching, injury rehab, marathon/triathlon training, olympic lifting, swimming, boxing, spinning, pre-natal and post-natal exercise.
With the new reality of sheltering in place for the foreseeable future, many of my clients have inquired about virtual training. I've long offered FaceTime training to my clients to help keep them fit and sane while they travel or when they move outside the Bay Area. Once a month I gather the best fitness and nutrition news, tips and videos from my blog into one handy email.
My one-on-one fitness programs begin with an assessment of your personal health and fitness needs. We'll go over your baseline measurements, review your current diet, fitness goals, health history and injuries. From there, I'll create a workout and nutrition plan that is personalized to your individual lifestyle demands and goals.
Having struggled for decades to achieve a balanced, healthy approach to nutrition I completely understand the frustration many of my clients go through. I help them realistically look at their current eating habits and goals and determine incremental, manageable improvements that will have the biggest impact.

JJ is one incredible trainer. I can't recommend him enough. I started with JJ 6 years ago as part of therapy to regain shoulder strength following a surgery. I've continued weekly sessions because he keeps me motivated, safe, and achieving my personal fitness goals. His expertise shows in how how my body reacts to his expert and never boring workout regimes. I continue to get compliments from friends and strangers; I can look at myself in the mirror, and think, "Huh, not bad for a 56 year old!"
In this age of COVID-19 we've switched seamlessly to virtual sessions. JJ

JJ is hands down one the best massage therapists that I've had the pleasure of working with. He has no bias, qualms or judgement and was very attentive to my issues. Within the first few minutes, I knew that this was going to be a good massage. He has a very good sense for the body (he has more credits to him than just being a masseur, so that shows) and was able to feel the right level of pressure that I was responding to. I was having some tightness in the upper back, gluteal muscles and hamstrings and one session with him was enough to loosen them up and put me on a road to progress. I

JJ is a fantastic trainer! In the eight months that I worked with JJ, he was able to significantly help me improve my posture, mobility, and overall body strength. JJ made sure to work with me and understand my goals and kept me on track to meet these goals. JJ made me feel comfortable with exercises that I thought I could never do. JJ has an immense knowledge about exercises and the human body and always brings a positive attitude to the gym.
Additionally, JJ is also one of the best massage therapists that I have come across. He works with you to make sure he knows what is going on with your

I started working with JJ over 1+ year ago, initially focusing on general fitness & strength for running. Since then JJ has helped me dramatically improve my mobility, change up my nutrition, get leaner, introduced me to other specialists, improved my running speed and been my go to massage therapist for (actually effective) sports massages.
JJ is basically my overall fitness & workout consultant - I discuss training plans for both strength training and running with him, will ask him for his expertise on nutrition, have him make sure I execute exercises correctly and lastly see him for

Jonathan is one of the most skilled massage therapists I ever had. I had one hour sports massage session with him today. His massage studio is really clean and conveniently located next to Montgomery bart station. He worked on my shoulders and legs as those were my areas with most tension. I felt amazing and really relaxed after the massage. I would highly recommend Jonathan if you are looking for a good, professional massage.

You really can't overstate the value of knowing you're working with a warm, highly knowledgeable massage therapist. One who is guaranteed to listen to your needs, remember them and follow through. Anything less is always disappointing. But JJ is all that and more! His knowledge of biomechanics and anatomy is matched by his wonderful massage technique. Definitely book him!

JJ is the best. He has been training me for 2 years, which mark many firsts for me: the first time I have ever stuck with a consistent exercise program, the first time I have ever gone to the gym regularly, the first time I've felt in control of my ongoing fitness.
JJ was recommended by a colleague when I explained that I have never wanted to go to a gym and never felt the rush from exercise that many friends talk about. JJ worked to understand my goals, then consistently adjusted our plan to meet those goals and keep me coming back week after week. I have even felt that rush!

A few years ago I wrote a review singing the praises of JJ Jordan, a personal trainer I've worked with for 3+ years. I feel it's time to update that review by saying that, somehow, JJ has grown EVEN STRONGER over the years. When I met him, he had an astounding wealth of knowledge on exercise and nutrition, but since then he's significantly ADDED to it, making him what has to be one of the most well-rounded fitness experts in the city.

First of all... I should mention that I too am certified massage therapist, and have had countless massages over the years. It is with my background and past experiences that I can unequivocally state that JJ is truly gifted. In an ocean of therapists he is the one I consider my "go to guy".
With the physically demanding work that I do, and the fact that I weight-train 4-5 days a week, JJ has been a perfect match for me.
With his back ground as a personal trainer, he knows the body and how it works like no one I've been to previously. Pair that up with his ability to offer super

JJ is a top tier body worker and would only trust one other body worker's hands.
JJ is always learning, researching, and experiencing new techniques and applying them to his practice. I think that his work as a trainer has helped a lot and he truly enjoys and thrives from helping others with their health.

I recently had a massage with JJ and can honestly say it was one of the best ones I can remember getting. His massage space is very clean, organized and relaxing to be in and if you've not met him yet JJ is both hilarious and incredibly warm- which does a wonderful job at putting you at ease and separating your session time from all the chaos of the day.
Getting down to the brass tacks of things however what really matters is the massage itself and JJ doesn't disappoint. Never did his pressure exceed what I was comfortable with and I felt like he did a great job reading my physical response

I just retired as a software engineer, and after many years of sitting in front of a computer, various muscles are tighter or shorter than they should be, causing lower-back pain. JJ is helping to undo all that, not only through his massage, which can be intense, but in explaining how the muscles are connected, and how these can manifest as lower-back pain even when that's not the source of the problem. He has given me some exercises to do at home. I consider JJ an essential component of the trio of people helping me get back into better health: a trainer at the gym (Ben Gonzales), a physical

JJ's massages are awesome - and I am (dare I say it) not even a big massage person. But all that has changed since seeing JJ for monthly sports massages. A revved up strength training program had been taking its toll and the massages have been a godsend in terms of alleviating that stiffness and soreness. What I really love about JJ though is that he takes a very targeted and thoughtful approach - looking for potential imbalances and finding real solutions. I have also been recovering from a foot injury since last summer (that required two surgeries to fix) and the massages have helped there

JJ is an invaluable coach and partner on my fitness journey! He has helped me overcome several chronic injuries to achieve my fitness goals and compete as a triathlete and avid cyclist. As a personal trainer and massage therapist, JJ has an incredible depth of knowledge and experience. His skills and approach to massage are excellent and always tailored to my needs. What's more, he is such a delightful person! JJ is always positive and encouraging, and inspires me to be my best.

JJ's massages are absolutely the best! I really appreciate how he tailors each session to the client and gives me useful stretches to make sure I stay in shape. I have already learned a lot from him about how my day to day life impacts my body how to take care of my muscles - I always look forward to learning more from him. I would definitely recommend his services!

JJ just never ceases to amaze me! Not only is he the best personal trainer I've ever worked with, but now also the best massage therapist I've ever experienced. He tailors each massage to exactly what my body needs and focuses on both the problem areas I'm aware of and the ones that he uncovers as he works. Absolutely superb, can't recommend him highly enough.

I hesitate to write this review for JJ as a massage therapist because then folks might discover the SF wellness scene's best kept secret. I saw JJ while training for the Boston Marathon on top of a demanding schedule as a fitness (indoor cycling) instructor. It's no coincidence I PR'd in my race! JJ's attention not just to general tightness/aches/tensions, but to their sources and deeper meanings was incredible. In addition to great massage therapy sessions, JJ makes recovery a partnership, and helped me identify practices I could engage in between sessions to stay healthy,
