Jon Brown founded Empirical Fitness in 2019 with a simple mission: to help people achieve real results with real methods — no gimmicky shonen-themed workouts, no nerd-coded scams, just science-backed training that works. As a lifelong nerd himself, Jon knows what it’s like to feel out of place in traditional fitness spaces, so he built something different.
