WATCH JOHN IN ACTION!

"In the years I have know John, he has always been an innovator for physical and spiritual performance/fitness. He has transformed his body and keeps getting healthier and better performance as he ages by adapting different training philosophies that he has designed with God’s inspiration. He holds many world records for grip and strength but isn’t complacent in his achievements. He is always looking to innovate new and out of the box methods into everyday life and by doing so, has transformed his own body and health into an example for others to follow. His passion is for helping others and takes his methodologies to others in order to help them in their life, spiritual, performance and fitness journey."

"John Brookfield is one of the great innovators in the field of exercise and fitness. I’ve known him for over 10 years when I invited him to speak for the National Strength and Conditioning Association on multiple occasions. His exercise techniques including, but not limited to, the world-famous Battling ropes system has changed the game for many athletes and the general population. His techniques over the years and philosophies have helped myself and my patients tremendously as a sports and orthopedic physical therapist. Per John, his ideas were inspired by divine intervention, and I truly believe it!"

"I have known John since 1998. In many ways, John is dramatically stronger than anyone I have ever known, including dozens of World’s Strongest Man competitors and champions.

A basic and simple strategy is often the most effective. This concept is personified by John Brookfield. John’s approach to strength has always been incredibly creative, simple, and effective! Over the past several years, John has been conquering a new realm, breathing!

John is the perfect ambassador and teacher for helping anyone enhance their performance, well-being, and longevity through breath work.

Often ignored by coaches, medical professionals and fitness gurus – breath work is finally coming into society’s awareness. Breath work has been a huge part of my development during decades of training as a competitor and champion. But it is almost never talked about at any level beyond the most basic and superficial understanding.

We are all greatly blessed to have John help us to enjoy new levels of well-being, longevity, and performance through his understandable and easy strategies in his Rise+Restore breath work system.

One of the defining qualities of strength is the abilities to endure over long periods of time. John certainly personifies this attribute and continues to grow stronger every year. At this point in his amazingly long career as a strength icon, John is breaking new ground and becoming stronger than ever through his development of breath work.

Now we can all benefit from the amazingly gifted man and his ability to share his personally developed and powerful approach to breath work!"

Philip Pfister, 2006 World’s Strongest Man champion

"John Brookfield is innovative, trustworthy, and by far the strongest human being I’ve ever encountered.

In 2023, I spent two days with John at his home in Pinehurst, North Carolina to learn more deeply about the various strength-endurance programs he’s developed. After training two days with John, I understand why special forces operators, NFL linemen, Olympic wrestlers, and combat athletes all travel to train with John to learn how to possess the skills of increased strength, power, and work rate capacity.

As a teacher, John’s communication style and physical presence is similar to the powerful training systems he has developed. He keeps things simple and safe, while at the same time, is able to gracefully teach you the skills and drills to hardwire strength, power, and endurance in your body and mind. John is a kind, observant, and skilled developer of human potential."

"John Brookfield is an inspiration to me. No matter if it's listening to him speak to a group, watching him teach his training principles or reading one of his books. John always delivers a Godly message that the listener can use in their own personal situation and life."

"I have been blessed to know Mr. Brookfield for the past 18 years. During that time, I have seen him improve with age spiritually, mentally and physically. His methods are unorthodox but proven. I have personally visited NFL teams with him that use his methods effectively for all their players. The most impressive thing about Mr. Brookfield, is he gives all the praise and Glory to Jesus Christ."

"Unconventional thinking can drive progress and John excels at unconventional thinking. Never bound by the structure of "normal training," John Brookfield has innovated battling ropes, grip, and endurance training in ways conventional thinking missed. And he has done this over many years of successful training and coaching. John walks the walk of health and longevity and can assist you on your journey as well.

Brett Jones, MS, ATC, CSCS

"I met John in 2006. I was getting my career as a personal trainer started and we had an opportunity to take a battling ropes system certification with John Brookfield. The one word that comes to mind when associating with John would have to be, GRATEFUL. I didn’t know it at the time, but John would play an intricate role in my career. I remember taking his course and I was instantly OBSESSED with the system, the technique, the versatility, his delivery and passion he had for his ropes and most importantly, his genuine demeanor he had overall. John and I stayed in contact since that meeting and I had the honor to assist him at fitness conventions as he was lead presenter. John essentially helped teach me the “ropes” in the industry. I learned so much from him and was able to see what other goodies he had up his sleeve. His way of thinking and comparing his systems to nature and the good word are unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Everything John does is because it’s his calling and purpose. As a kettlebell specialist, John has helped me make connections to get my kettlebell manufacturing off the ground and for that, I will forever be grateful. I feel so honored working with/alongside and being a student of his. He’s trained some of the best athletes around the world. His systems will be around for a lifetime! I’m proud to call John a good friend of mine."

He’s able to make them usable to the most educated exercise professional, athlete, and novice exerciser alike. If you can learn from John’s vast knowledge of human performance, don’t hesitate to take advantage of it!"

"If you've experienced sore joints, aching muscles or stagnation in gaining muscle or flexibility, I feel your pain. It wasn't until I met John Brookfield and implemented his simple and innovative training techniques that helped me renew my youthfulness at 50 years of age. What's wild about John's methods are they are actually Biblical principles. Rest assured, John's principles and programming will serve you well."
