Bodies 'N Motion Founder

Welcome to the Bodies 'N Motion

website, and congratulations for

taking the neccessary steps to make

changes in your life.

I am John F. Xuereb... and I have

been providing personal training and

nutritional counseling for over 20 years. I have guided thousands of clients to a healthier,

leaner and more productive lifestyle. I know where I am going... because I know where

I’ve come from. Perhaps you have come from a similar position in life? Through my

experiences, I have transformed my life. This excerpt from an interview tells a story that

inspires others:

"One of the first fears I knew I had to overcome was fear of success. If you're

afraid of achieving your goals, any goals, you are doomed to live a pretty sad

life. Which is exactly what I did for many years."

I am referring to the hellish existence I endured through for much of youth. I was

born into an environment of violence from which I was removed by social workers

within six months; however, their intervention did not lead to peace. I saw 24 foster

homes by the age of fourteen, and when I finally did settle into a home, it became

a place of constant torment for many years. My foster parents were abusive to

each other, and to me.

"After beating her for a while, he'd get bored and start in on me. When

she'd recover, she'd take a go at me too."

John's initial interest in bodybuilding was sparked at the age of twelve when he saw the movie 'Hustler' on Muscle Beach.

"If I could look like that, I figured it would solve all my problems, that no one

would ever hurt me again."

By the age of 15, I was declared a ward of court and with nothing other than basic financial assistance, I was left to take

care of myself. Even as I bagan to experience success as a bodybuilder (winning my first junior title as a teen), my life was

still spiraling out of control. I had already dropped out of school, then began to take drugs and eventually sold everything I

owned to support the habit. This is when I had an epiphany.

"I simply realized that what I was doing with my life, to my life, was a waste. I mean, I had been told that I was

nothing, and that I was destined to fail, so I was just doing what everyone always told me I was supposed to do. I

never questioned it, until one day I did. I sat up for 14 hours and wrote the story of my life, but I wrote it with

compassion and hope that had never been shown to me. And I saw that even if it didn't seem like a good life at

any one particular moment, there was already plenty of good stuff to focus on, and there could be more."

I went on to earn a high school diploma at the age of 28, after having established myself as a successful athlete and

businessman. At the age of 34, after a ten year layoff, I followed the guidelines in my book 'The Complete Mind and

Body Transformation' and returned to bodybuilding.

"My motivation is to show others that they can find power in themselves. I live my life as

an example of this simple fact. There is nothing about me that is unique. Every success I

have experienced, is something you can experience too."
