This is a 60 minute presentation on the data and information we collected about your body and health and explain to you about what we do, our philosophy and our approach we take to getting you to your goals.

Jonathan helped me understand certain habits and behaviours that could be introduced easily in to my daily routine. After a few weeks these habits slowly turned in to results which helped me lose 10 pounds and achieve my goal weight that of which I have not weighed in 15 years!
Steven S.
I have been working with Jonathan Kovacs for the past three years now. He has taught me a completely different way of living. It was simple changes that he made in my program along the way. How to eat properly, went to eat certain foods, how to eliminate cravings.

our training phases
At Holistic Lynx, we don’t sell workouts — we guide you through a complete transformation. Our programs are built in phases designed to match your body’s natural progression toward strength, balance, and lasting results. Each phase focuses on specific goals like improving posture, reducing pain, boosting energy, and restoring movement. This approach ensures your training is purposeful, personalized, and built for long-term success - not quick fixes, attendance, and commoditized fitness.
phase 1
3-6 months. local and isolation exercises, muscle activation & decreased pain.
This corrective exercise and performance coaching program is for people seeking real, lasting results—not quick fixes. Perfect if you struggle with back, knee, or shoulder pain, or simply want to move, feel, and age better, we uncover root causes and build a safe, progressive plan to restore posture, stability, and strength. Beyond workouts, we also support you with nutrition, sleep, and stress management so you gain energy, mobility, and confidence to live pain-free and enjoy life fully. This phase usually runs 3-6 months depending on your specific issues.
