His first book (“The No Excuses Diet”, which is an Anti-Diet book) hit #3 on the Amazon Best Seller List and was featured on The Today Show. His second book titled “12 Key Habits to Thrive!” was released on 5/23/22.

In 1995 Jonathan weighed 224 pounds and was wearing size 38 pants when his Dad (who was obese) died suddenly of Cardiac Arrest. After losing his Dad, he went on to drop 44 pounds using Interval Training (which is at the core of the Energy UP program) and has kept it off for 26 years.

Jonathan started creating personalized interval training plans for people trying to get fit and lose weight in 1998. He has been awarded two “Interval Fitness Training” patents (Patent # 7,641,592 and Patent #7,981,002) that are at the core of Breakthrough Health’s proprietary software (www.EnergyUP.co) that personalizes an individual’s interval workouts based on their health status, goals and schedule. Jonathan currently has a third patent that is pending for the “Wellness Optimization System” which is a machine learning software platform.

Breakthrough Health’s mission is to positively transform 100 million lives by 2030!

About Coach Wendy

Wendy is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, completing her teacher training with Northport Yoga Center in Northport, NY. Yoga has been a part of her life for over 15 years and has helped her recover from injuries, grow strong, more flexible and confident, both on and off the mat. Her yoga practice has been the most healing aspect of her life.

Wendy loves sharing the magic of yoga, especially with anyone giving yoga a try for the first time. It is her immense pleasure to watch her students marvel over how much better they feel after just one class. Many new students are intimidated by yoga, concerned they will not be able to move their bodies in ways they expect yoga will require. It’s Wendy’s greatest joy to watch new students notice their increased sense of well-being, their calming breath, and the ways in which their bodies are capable of moving. Wendy enjoys teaching beginner and intermediate classes, and specialty classes such as chair yoga, and she welcomes everyone to her Hatha yoga classes.

Wendy lives on Long Island, NY and she volunteers with Guiding Eyes for the Blind. She strives to share positivity and joy with everybody she meets. Wendy is excited to be part of the EnergyUp Team and is inspired by all of the amazing EnergyUp members!
