To whom it may concern:
I am very pleased
to recommend CJ Havunen as a personal trainer, nutritionist and fitness professional.
As his former client, I have witnessed Chad transform my body into something I was
personally ecstatic with. His knowledge of the body and how food works for the body
is amazing to see. He has it to a science and I was blessed to have been able to
work with him.
Chad is bright, energetic, compassionate and genuinely well rounded. My progress while training with him had been consistently above average compared to others I had trained under in the past, and he has actively encouraged me, not only training in the gym but also with my diet.
Unlike many fitness professionals who are only in this field for reasons to benefit themselves, CJ has made clear to all of his clients that his goal is to not only train you for a season, but to train you for a lifetime. The information he gave me about exercise, nutrition and supplements is information I am able to use everyday to stay in my best shape and I am truly grateful for the time we were able to work together.
In closing, let me take a moment to recount an incident, which I believe speaks volumes about the superior nature of this candidate. I have always and always will be a fitness guru, but I never pushed myself as hard as I needed to get the results I wanted. In training with CJ, in just the first month, I went from 21% body fat to 19% and had more energy than I could ever remember. He pushed me and made me want to push myself, harder and proved to me that I don’t have to be unhappy with my physical shape. Anything is possible with the right knowledge or training and nutrition. It is clear to me as I hope it is to you that this young man, Chad Havunen, is an exceptional candidate, one that would contribute greatly to any program. I wholeheartedly recommend him and wish him the very best in all future endeavors.

To Whom It May Concern:
As founder and president of Discount Supplements Direct Inc., and a proud sponsor for two years, I am pleased to write this letter
of recommendation for Mr. Chad Havunen. It became immediately apparent in my initial meeting with Mr. Havunen, that there was an
immense drive and ambition to be successful on both an individual level with bodybuilding, as well as professional with personal
training. Over the last two years, Chad has certainly impressed me, as well as others, at his hard work and dedication to be victorious
in all of his endeavors. Chad has unquestionably shown extraordinary efforts in his bodybuilding accomplishments, as well as his
brilliance as a personal trainer. Chad takes pride in every client he trains. He's fully vested in their success and pushes even the
most avid and knowledgeable fitness buff to levels they thought were unattainable. His experience and vast knowledge enables him to
put together a personalized program. He balances the right amount of weight training, cardio exercise, nutrition, supplementation, and
diet; tailored to meet the needs of each individual client. Chad has excellent communication skills. He has demonstrated his oral
articulateness in the seminars that DSD conducts twice a year. For these seminars, Chad conducts an oral presentation that is open to
the public, describing nutrition and training, as well as answering questions for attendees. Chad is highly proficient in endowing his
knowledge, in order for those who may be new to the subject to be capable of comprehending the material as well. He is able to explain
his views very concisely and gives supporting arguments that are both clear and persuasive. As with everything else, Chad has also
excelled as a competitive bodybuilder. From our opening competition in which we sponsored Chad in 2006, to date, he has accomplished
far more than the run of the mill competitors. He has taken on each competition will full effort and has been able to make each passing
one a learning experience to help him progress for next one. Chad has shown the kind of initiative which is necessary to be successful
in any field he should choose to pursue. I believe he will be a strong asset to any organization. He is a very conscientious worker and
has an excellent work ethic. I would certainly recommend Chad for any task where enthusiasm, hard work and trustworthiness are valued.

To Whom It May Concern:
As an extremely satisfied client of Chad Havunen, I am more than happy to write this recommendation. I had been a group fitness instructor for about 10 years when I started to work with Chad. Despite my years in the fitness industry, I was disappointed that I had become slightly overweight and that my overall fitness levels had decreased. Needless to say, being a professional in the industry added an additional layer of pressure, and therefore disappointment. I had invested in a personal training package with another facility right before I met Chad. However, I was not satisfied and was really seeking someone who could take me to the next level and bring out my potential. I needed someone to get me back to where I used to be years ago. Upon meeting Chad, I instantly had the sense that he could be the person to get me there—so much so that I invested in an additional package with him, despite the other investment I had just made. From there, I chose to do a majority of my training with Chad.
Now, I have the results to prove I made the right decision. Over the last six months, I’ve lost 25 pounds and am still losing. My physique is becoming more muscular and defined every day. I typically do not enjoy the weight room. However, Chad has made it an experience I actually look forward to. He is extremely intuitive and knows exactly when to give the push I need, even before I do sometimes. He motivates me to push past my perceived limits to get results. Not only that, but he is safe, effective and informative. He educates as he trains and is sure to provide me with routines and advice that I can use beyond my sessions with him. In other words, he provides a life-changing experience, far beyond a mere workout.
Chad is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm he brings to every session. His easy-going, friendly personality creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. He makes each workout challenging, creative and most importantly, fun!
Those who choose to work with Chad are gaining a tremendous resource. Honestly, I’m very sad to see him go, but am happy to see him embark on a successful path. Although it may be my loss for now, it will be an incredible gain for his next client. he bottom line is if you’re looking for results, from someone who lives it and not just says it, then Chad Havunen is the one to get you there.
Sincerely,
Deawna M. Hutchings
