lawyers at gymThe majority of my clients come to me because they want to see changes in how they look and feel. They hit a big birthday like 30 or 40 and all of a sudden notice that along with the late nights and takeout dinners the pounds have packed on, they can’t move how they used to and generally feel stressed and anxious all the time. While they love their jobs, and most say they do, their practices are slowly killing them. Those who learn to incorporate a basic fitness program into their lives not only look, feel and move healthier, they also tell me they become better lawyers from it.

— Jonathan Jordan, a personal trainer at Equinox in San Francisco, California, explaining what his typical lawyer-client is like in an interview with Law.com. Lawyers make up about 25 percent of Jordan’s client base, and they hail from firms like Nixon Peabody; Keker Van Nest & Peters; and Morrison & Foerster. His lawyer-clients usually suffer from loose glutes, collapsed cores, and hunched shoulders from all of the time spent sitting at their desks.
