Working with John has been one of the best experiences I've ever had on my wellness and fitness journey. John helped me take my old "Airborne" knee to new heights. With his uniquely programmed biotensegrity exercises I was able to reestablish a pain free and functional knee in under 90 days. I'm positive I will be able to continue living pain free and better my body daily with the teachings he bestowed up on me. I'm forever grateful for John's guidance and support!

Before Freeborn Coaching, I was in constant pain from neck and back issues. I tried everything — doctors, treatments — but nothing worked long-term. Their unique approach helped me understand my body and finally fix the root of the problem. Within weeks, I felt real relief. My neck is stable, my back is free, and I can breathe and move without pain. They didn’t just help my body — they gave me my life back.— Ali

My mom and I had a very enlightening session with John. I've struggled with shoulder and neck pain for almost 20 years. Even after one session I can feel relief! My mom has almost 2 decades experience as a massage therapist and she was very impressed with John's work and knowledge. John teaches you the ability to heal yourself instead of relying on chiropractors, massage therapists and physios which is priceless!

One of the best decions I've made. John has helped me regain mobility in my neck and back. Strengthening my neck through amazing protocols that anyone can do. I highly recommend you try it for a better and healthier you!

When the institutional healthcare system completely failed me, recently having to go on FMLA because of continuing and persistent back issues, John @ Freeborn Fitness showed up and did their job for them. My first move was chiropractic. While the sessions provided some measure of immediate relief, my issues continued, albeit with very minor improvement. Next, my doctor had X-Rays taken; and while there were minor arthritis and disc issues, we both agreed there was nothing in the X-Rays to explain my issues. All she could do was complete the FMLA paperwork, prescribe some painkillers and muscle relaxers, and put in the physical therapy referral … to the one large PT company that gets all their referral business. I did a total of 4 PT sessions. With each session, I woke up the next day feeling worse than before going in for that session. The morning after my last session, I was no longer able to put on my own socks and shoes. My wife had to do that for me for a full week. Christmas week, actually. The PT company left me worse than the day I decided I needed to go out on FMLA. And at this point, I was a full month into what I had hoped would be a month off of work at most. I felt obligated to “stick to the system”, because “the system” very much requires you to follow its program when you are receiving FMLA money. The system failed. Miserably. Next, I had to follow my gut. First, I took a chance on a very local (around the corner, a 15 minute walk) massage therapy salon that had opened recently. Turned out to be a serendipitous roll of the dice. A seasoned massage therapist, knowledgeable in age old Chinese techniques like scraping, was able to directly address and provide much needed relief for my symptoms. But it was my next move, one Zoom session with John @ Freeborn Fitness (soon followed by a second session), that put me on the forward path toward actual foundational healing. John asked questions that neither my doctor nor the referred physical therapists nor even the chiropractor asked, and they were the important questions. John saw, via Zoom, what neither my doctor nor the physical therapists, nor even again the chiropractor, were able to see live and in person, with me standing right in front of them. John was able to pinpoint the core issues at the very root of my longstanding back problems, provide me with detailed instruction on the movements and exercises that will allow my body to self-correct, and put this all in intuitive language will provide me with the insight necessary to not just manage my back problems, but retool my musculoskeletal structural integrity to come out the other end stronger than before. And the follow up … with video copies of fully recorded sessions, the detailed notes and work plans … is something I’ve simply not encountered anywhere in “the system”. John @ Freeborn Fitness simply does it better.

I simply cannot say enough about my outstanding experience with John Welch and Freeborn. His passion and knowledge is so authentic, his desire to help is so obvious, his own personal journey to wellness and knowing he's resolved his own issues was so amazing, I knew I was on the right path. His communication skills are top notch. The information that John Welch has is beyond gold. It's priceless. After going to Doctors, ENT's, neurologists, PT specialists, chiropractors, etc., I FINALLY found my resolve to my horrific vertigo!! I was not going to 'settle' for a doctor writing a prescription, or someone telling me that I'd just have to 'live with my vertigo until it decides to go away', I chose to NOT settle for the status quo and decided I had to be my own advocate. I set out on a research journey like my life depended on it... because in all reality, that's how I felt.... I could not live with that vertigo anymore. Nor could I live with my neck constantly cracking... the brain 'wonkiness' the intense head pressure I felt, the migraines that came with it.... the constant stress in my traps, 2 hours of a tens unit for the intense tightness each night... the fear of dizziness being the new normal... and through my research journey, I found Freeborn and John Welch. A few interactions with John and then a conversation, I felt HE had an answer and appreciated and his approach on how we could journey through my issues to a resolve. I did the work. I stayed consistent, I asked the questions. Each day was a new morphing toward healing. I could feel it! I was healing! 3 months in.. and I could say I was VERTIGO FREE! My neck strength is unbelievable. No more cracking neck, NO MORE TRAP INTENSE STRESS and pain. I cannot say enough about this program! Do the work. IT works!

Hey John, I just wanted to say thanks again for the other day and I wanted to share with you an observation I had last night. I was at a social gathering talking to lots of people and I suddenly became aware that I was standing in a different way. It was the way you taught me to stand with my hands down the sides of my body or sort of touching together and realized I was much more upright. I didn’t once cross my feet which is AMAZING and meant that my head was much more upright. Thank you so much. I will continue to do the work and will start the course tomorrow. I am really grateful. Thank you.

Loved working with John. Really helped me on my journey -- my condition has improved significantly and will be reaching out to work with him in the future :)
