Train with
Intent.
15 years building programs around real people — their goals, their bodies, their schedules. Nothing recycled.
A trainer who's actually been doing this.
John Dunlop has been training clients on Long Island for over 15 years. He's worked with everyone from 7-year-old youth athletes to adults in their 80s — and every single program is built from the ground up for that person.
The name Intent Athletics comes from training with purpose. Knowing what you're doing, why you're doing it, and having a plan that fits your actual life — not something pulled off a shelf.

How John trains people
Every program is built from scratch
No templates. Every client gets a program designed around their specific goals, movement history, and schedule before the first session starts.
Nutrition is part of the plan
John provides nutritional counseling alongside training. What you do in the gym only goes so far without the other side of it.
You don't have to be an athlete
John has trained complete beginners, older adults, former athletes, and pros. The program meets you where you are — not where you think you should be.
Long-term over short-term
The goal is building a relationship with your body that lasts — understanding what you're doing and why, not just getting through a six-week program.
