Now that’s an Ultra Fit Superstar! Great job Christian!!
Great show - this is crucial information for both parents and children as we continue to become a more sedentary society.
This type of young man is the true future of our nation. He is a winner !!! Great Job Christian !!!!
THAT WAS AWESOME !!! GREAT JOB, BOTH OF YOU !!!
This is the 2nd time I have seen Mr. DeFendis on Your Carolina. It is great to know we have someone in the community who cares about our youth and our health. Mr. DeFendis- YOU ARE A TRUE INSPIRATION! Christian- Great job…you didn’t seem nervous at all. Confidence must be another benefit of Ultra Fit. Way to go!!!
The earlier we begin a fitness program, the greater our chances of avoiding the health issues so many in our country are facing today. Thank you John & Christian for making the Upstate aware of this vital issue!
John this was great! I love youth and working with youth. We hope to have some kids’ camps coming up this summer!
I am very glad that people are finally getting to see this. Maybe if enough people see this kids in our country will be able to have a normal life instead of overweight and weak. Very good interview for both of you!
GREAT job John & Christian! Christian makes push ups look easy!!!
Wow ... Wow ... Wow !!!
Christian that was alot of push ups you are so STRONG.
Thanks You John ...
That was a GREAT message for parents to get involved with there children in fitness & health. Parents need to be a good example to there children & youth.
Very good information ((( Smile )))
Great segment! Parents need to see more of this - If they realize that kids really love to move and especially with them as a family, they could change our health epidemic - one child at a time. Keep up the good work!
This John DeFendis Video Is Very Awesome And I Respect The Way He Helps The Children And All Of Us And Encourages All
Of Us To Be The Best We Can Be Spiritually, Physically And
Emotionally And I Am Blessed To Call Him Friend. God Bless

As John said, there is no better way to keep your kids interested than to work out with them. Then everyone benefits.
John and Christian great job! I found this inspiring not only as an Ultra Fit personal trainer, but also as a mother of a young child. Thank you both for being such good examples!
John and Christian, that was an awesome segment! We need more role models like the both of you to get the message out to our youth to start young developing positive habits
John that was an amazing segment. Making both parents and children more aware of the importance of physical fitnees and living a healthier lifestyle. Also, great job Christian. You are an inspiration to thousands of kids across the country. Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Christian is a stud and is going to go a long way in life as an athelete and a person! Great Job guys!!
OUTSTANDING! John & Christian, you two were incredible!
Now this is the type of information we need on our news broadcasts! Instead of showing all of the negativity going on in the world…how about we show America how to better ourselves?...To bring about positivity and success!
Please, don’t lead your child down the wrong path. They are depending on you. They are looking at you as their example. Let’s work together and make a difference in this world! I mean really, would you want to give your kids anything but the best future possible?
Parent’s need to start taking responsibility for themselves, and their children. If you or your child is overweight then take action! That is the only way to get things done. Heck, I’ll even give you and your child a complimentary personal training session to help get you started!
Whether we like it or not, the problem is there. Ultra Fit is providing the opportunity, but it is up to us to decide to take action. It’s time for a change!
I loved watching John and Christian this morning. What an inspiration to see such a young man care about his health. We need to eduate parents and children about how they too can make the ultimate change! Great show guys!
Great job John and Christian! Every parent needs to watch this segment. I will make sure to pass this on to all I know. Thanks again!
Awesome show you two!!!!!!!Christian, you are an inspiration to so many kids…I’m extremely proud of you :)
Outstanding as usual.
Check out those “Guns”! I am not talking about yours Mr. DeFendis, I am referring to Christian’s. Man you are in great shape already. You were pumping those pushups out with no problem. Parents take note, this is what our kids should be doing not watching TV and playing video games. As parents we need to show more concern for our children’s future by preparing them to face it head on with strong healthy bodies, unwavering confidence and passionate, caring, CHRIST-filled hearts. Mr. DeFendis, with CHRIST as our example, we are changing peoples lives every day. Thank you for allowing me to play a small part in your Mission to change the World.
Sweet segment guys. Good work. How many 11 year olds do you know that can bang out push ups like that? I wish we knew more. It’s never too early start training for your goals. This young man is going to make a huge impact in the athletic arena. Parents, be an example for your children. Allow them to see you guys living a healthy lifestyle and let’s put an end to this childhood obesity epidemic. Good job John and thanks for the passion that drives in you to help others and to change America.
Great job John and Christian! Christian you are a pro and keep up the good work!
Wow! incredible .. I wish i had form like that at that age…Your definitely ahead of the curve Christian
This is really a great topic that Yours Carolina is taking up. World wide kids are using more and more time in front of TV or computer – with no interaction from the parents.
It is great to see that John DeFendis take action, and let the world to know that there are tendencies with bad condition amongst the younger generation. If people just see through this the youth will be facing bigger health problem when they grow older.
The exercises that Mr. DeFendis has taught young Christian, is a brilliant way to prevent obesity and other health problems for young children. It is fantastic that “Coops” have developed special training programs for kids. This gym shows, that it really care for the people – in all ages.
John DeFendis’ dedication for people’s health is really remarkable. A great spokesman to getting people in better health.
I find Yours Carolina a incredible tv stations, who are able to bring up important matters that is easily forgotten in a hectic living. Hope to see more of John DeFendis greats spots for having a healthier world.
Fantastic job, John D – Christian and Yours Carolina
MR. D very informative. Christian will be a renaissance man. As a ULTRAFIT TRAINER and a parent myself we must show and teach our children relentlessly. What are we teaching them? With ULTRA FIT we will give you knowledge for a lifetime.
I love being part of this movement to better the lives of thousands of our neighbors!
AWESOME JOB, this is really inspirational and educational!
John you relly hit the nail on the head when you say that as a parent you MUST get involved…Its the ONLY way this next generation of kids will get off to a bright start…My 10 yr old son Leo started training this week after getting inspired by ULTRAFIT trainer Jason,and Christian is his new hero…he wants to do push ups just like him..
More power to you John for pursuing this so passionetly!!!!!!
It seems that you are on the right track to help children get out of the house.This is fantastic.To bad every town does not have trainers like John.To get involved with children is truly wonderful. It is to bad that this tv station is not nation wide to see trainers like John,then maybe there would be more paticipation to get the kids off the couch. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome Show, Thats what all the children need this day and age Christian was great.The children should have a trainer like John to get them on the right track and off the tv and compter games. Wish all the families and schools could see a show like that. Congradulations John on an Awesome Job and a wonderful cause.
Great Job John and Christian!! Parents will see the benefits of their kids being physically active instead of sitting inside the home playing video games. Childhood obesity is growing and Ultra Fit has the solution!!
Christian you are a beast! What an inspiration.
Parents you hold the key to cracking this problem.. Take the initiative be passionate about your own health and we can move from there. It is incredibly important that you seek an Ultra Fit Trainer to ensure that proper exercise selection, technique execution and progression is in place before throwing a dumbell into your childs hand!
The time to change is today! LET’S DO IT
Great job John and Christian! Children need inspiration like this. Child obesity is such a growning problem and kids need this kind of motivation to get out from in front of the tv and PLAY! They are our future!
It was so awesome to come across this video! I have known John Defendis for years. He has always been on a mission! To see his current mission of creating a powerful and effective solution to the current childhood obsesity problem…gives me goose bumps. I know how he impacted my life, giving me the education and results that have lasted me a lifetime! Awesome job John!
Christian. You are an inspiration! You will impact MANY lives! You are a TRUE CHAMPION my friend!
Onward!

wow, Great form! For people that actually do push ups, you know that is impressive form. The best gift a parent can give is to live an active lifestyle. the childhood obesity epidemic def. starts at home no matter what anyone says. That little guy is sure is lucky to be training with Boss Man John Defendis. Keep it up! You are a great rold model. Thanks to trainers like John Defendis 100’s of people are learning realistic ways to get healthy and add years to their lives. Not only that but you will look fabulous!
Wow John, the video is perfect information wise, Christian is very well informed and hopefully this segment will bring alot more kids and adults to stay off the videogames and t.v. and get UltraFit! With your attitude John and kids like Christian to show the way, obesity will surely be a thing of the past!! BRAVO!!
What a refreshing breath of fresh air….to see a trainer actually encourage parents to get their children active and go out and get active together. In a time of increasing obesity in adults as well as our youth, it’s nice to see someone actually take a stand and encourage the healthy lifestyle for our youth who are becoming more and more sedentary. Way to go John!!
Great job John and Christian ! As a certified fitness trainer for more than 30 years, I applaud Mr. DeFendis’s passsion and efforts in creating healthy habits at an early age.
Super Size Fast Foods, Computer games and lack of physical activity will eventually be the downfall of this young generation.,
Keep up the great work John. Our fitness industry needs more pro-active leaders like yourself !

Another testimony to the ULTRAFIT method for fitness.
John Defendis has perfected the method so that it can apply not only to adults but to children as well.
In this day and age when children are not being fed quality food in schools and the focus away from physical education classes it is more important than ever to get your children started early in fitness.
Nothing makes me happier than the day my 12 year old son Nathan asked if he could go to the gym and workout with me.
Get with John DeFendis if you truly want an honest answer and proven method for a healthier lifestyle.
Thank you John for sending the video of Christian and you.
I was very impressed with the form that Christian displayed and his willingness to do what was asked of him. I was also impressed with his serious attitude toward exercising. Very mature young man.
John you are the best of all trainers in that you are helping insure a better
future for our youth.
The work you did with my husband has him still going the the YMCA at almost 80 years old. I cannot thank you enough.
I have to tell you this is a great video. John is awesome. He really needs his own show to promote all his great ideas. I really enjoyed this segement. John Defendis is really trying to help the world get Ultra Fit, I love this guy.
Great presentation John! The children are the future. They need to know how important it is to be healthy through proper Ultra Fit nutrition and exercise. When fitness is taught to our youth today, they will pass it along to their siblings and create a pattern for generations to come. I cannot think of a better person than you to promote it. God Bless.
Excellent segment of education for the public. Yes, we have become an obese society, but as John Defendis instructs the youth of America it is evident that we can reverse the damage that has been done. A major point made by John is that we as Adults are setting the example to our youth. So we must ask ourselves what are we reproducing. Let’s make sure that we are doing our part for our children that they may lead a healthy and productive life. Great job John!
I wish I had the knowledge and guidance that Christian has today when I was 11!
John you do so much good in your community, seeing you work with top professional as well as tomorrows’ superstars shows the depth of your passion of the importance of health.
You are a tremendous role model, keep doing what you do - you ARE making a difference amigo!
Continued success,
Michael
This topic is well over due.Our society needs more shows like this that discuss child obesity, and there is no one better than John DeFendis to show the public the way to a better future America.
Thank you Mr. DeFendis and Christian, this was an excellent and informative segment on the positive effects of early childhood exercises executed properly.
These are lessons that will benefit Christian and every child for a lifetime and will transcend through all aspects of their lives. Mr. DeFendis shared these lessons with me 39 years ago and I still adhere to them today, best of luck and continued success.
Respectfully,
Neil Hardin
Great job Christian! I hope you keep excercise and good nutrition in your life forever. You are learning from the best of the best!
John, having the good fortune to work with you for many years, I know that you have been helping to fight childhood obesity in the community for over 25 years. I have witnessed your fierce dedication towards helping young people learn about fitness and nutrition. Countless people of all ages have changed their lives thanks to your UltrFit fitness program. Years from now I am sure that a healthy, fit Christian will look back and realize what a great influence you had on his life.
I am certainly grateful for all you have taught me over the years!
