While John "GEMINI" Lombardi travels across the country giving his fans the gift of laughter through comedy, magic, illusions and ventriloquism, what gives him the most happiness is helping others right here in "the neighborhood." Residing in Hunterdon County reminds Johnny of his childhood in Brooklyn. Growing up in Brooklyn of Italian descent, the importance of family and community were instilled upon him from a young age. "GEMINI" began his career on the streets of New York in Central Park and made his way to top New York City comedy clubs and casinos, like the Borgata, at a young age. While moving to New Jersey, marrying and raising a family, John became involved in his local church and eventually joined the Elks, where he is now a fourth Year Trustee at the Flemington location, as well as a member of the Moose Club and Unico International. Through his volunteer work helping special needs children, John won the "Spirit of Somerset" award for his charitable work "right in the neighborhood" which is what he is most proud of.

The need for a strong core within us, and TRX is the perfect solution to help us bring back a strong center to our physical being. TRX is a suspension training workout that uses our own body weight for resistance. It's a simple workout for every fitness level and also allows us to prepare for the holiday season's caloric onslaught. The TRX System is an abbreviation for Total Resistance Exercises, and is a specialized form of suspension training that utilizes equipment developed by a former US Navy SEAL, Randy Hetrick. TRX training uses body weight exercises to develop strength, balance, flexibility, and core stability, simultaneously. It requires the use of the TRX Suspension Trainer, a performance training tool that leverages gravity and the user's body weight to complete the exercises. All of that is just a fancy way of saying that in order to enjoy the benefits of TRX; we just need two adjustable nylon straps that are securely suspended from the ceiling or wall. Hunterdon Health and Wellness Centers have the system installed and ready for use. I've been teaching TRX for the last seven years and have trained individuals of all ages and fitness levels. The benefits for an average person are incredible. I continuously hear from my participants that their golf swing has improved, that their tennis game has gotten better, my population of older individuals stand taller, my equestrians ride "higher in the saddle", and my other students progress consistently. It's a fact that when your core is strong, your balance improves, your stamina builds and you can feel empowered to perform everyday tasks with confidence. You don't need to be a US Navy SEAL to strengthen your core through TRX, but Hunterdon Health and Wellness Centers have the equipment to help you work out like a SEAL for an hour without the sand in your face or midnight runs on the beach.
