Testimony
“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.
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
