Jonathon Misch

Hi! I’m Jonathon Misch transformation coach, endurance athlete, and living proof that

it's never too late to rewrite your story. I founded Misch Runs Wild after transforming my

own life through fitness. Now I dedicate myself to helping others achieve similar

transformations through coaching and community support.

My Journey

As the founder of Misch Runs Wild, I didn't always embody the health and vitality I

represent today. After a successful fitness industry career (2003-2013), my life took an

unexpected turn. By 2023, I weighed 300 pounds, battled type 2 diabetes and

hypertension, and faced a life-threatening health crisis that left me on supplemental

oxygen 24 hours a day. Instead of surrendering, I chose transformation.

Through science-based fitness protocols, evidence-based nutrition strategies, and

powerful habit modification techniques, I lost nearly 100 pounds and discovered my

passion for endurance running. This journey from survival to thriving became my calling,

helping others achieve their own remarkable transformations.

My Training Philosophy

My approach eliminates the quick fixes and empty promises you've heard before.

Instead, I focus on sustainable lifestyle medicine through personalized programming,

metabolic coaching, and accountability partnerships built on compassion, not judgment.

Whether you're completely sedentary or an aspiring athlete, I meet you exactly where

you are because I understand that transformation isn't about perfection, it's about

progress, one sustainable step at a time.

When you work with me, you're not just getting a coach, you're getting someone who

has lived your struggles and emerged stronger, healthier, and more confident on the

other side.

Why Choose Me?

I understand what it's like to feel trapped by your own body because I've been there

myself. At 300 pounds, battling type 2 diabetes, hypertension and having to use

supplemental oxygen 24 hours a day, I faced a choice: surrender or transform. I chose

transformation, and that decision changed everything, not just for me and my family, but

for every client I now have the privilege to serve.

My journey from a life-threatening health crisis to becoming an endurance athlete isn't

just my story, it's proof that no matter where you're starting from, remarkable change is

possible. Having spent over a decade in the fitness industry before my own health

declined, I bring both professional expertise and deeply personal understanding to

every coaching relationship.What sets me apart isn't just that I've lost nearly 100 pounds or reversed my chronic

conditions, it's that I've walked the exact path you're considering. I know the fear, the

frustration, and the false starts. But I also know the science-based protocols,

evidence-based nutrition strategies, and habit modification techniques that actually work

for lasting change.

Stop Waiting for "Someday" – Your Health Can't Wait

I almost lost everything waiting for someday. Don't let poor health steal another day

from your life.

Tired of feeling tired? Avoiding photos? Dreading doctor visits? You're not alone.

I get it because I have been there, I faced a choice: transform my health or continue

down a dangerous path. I chose transformation and it changed everything.

Here's the truth: "Someday" has a way of never arriving. But the good news? Your

transformation can start TODAY.The same science-based system that helped me lose nearly 100 pounds and reclaim

my energy is waiting for you. No extreme diets. No impossible workouts. Just a

personalized roadmap that fits your real life.

This isn't about perfection, it's about progress.

I went from struggling to climb stairs to running marathons. Not because I’m

superhuman, but because I stopped making excuses and started making sustainable

changes.

Your body is asking for better. More energy. Better sleep. Clothes that fit well.

Confidence in your own skin. You deserve to feel amazing in your body.

The question isn't whether you CAN change. The question is whether you're

ready to START.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
