John Meadows "Mountain Dog" Memorial Fund

Donation protected

John Meadows was an iconic member of the fitness community who touched many through his youtube channel and coaching. With his "give first" mentality, John helped millions achieve better fitness and strength...one video at a time. His contributions to the industry are countless, however most notably the Meadows Row (named after him) has become a staple of back training for lifters worldwide.

As physically strong as John was, his greatest strength was his dedication as a father and husband. Never one to miss a football practice with his boys or to show off their newest yo-yo trick in a video, John's motto was "family first", and he lived it every day. He leaves behind his wife Mary and two wonderful twin boys, Jonathan and Alexander.

If John has helped you in any way, I would ask that you please consider a donation to his family during this heartbreaking time (however big or small).

I personally am beyond shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of John. He was and will always go down as one of the true gentlemen in this industry. There’s not a soul alive that could say anything but great things about him. Whenever we would talk I could literally hear his smile through the phone when the subject of his boys came up. As fathers of twins we had an instant bond, rooted in both the extreme challenges and extreme joys that come with the task! He was scheduled to speak at my upcoming event In September and we were so excited to finally get a chance to shoot some videos together. As you’d expect from John however, he was going to fly in on the first flight on Thursday so he could be with his sons at football on Wednesday night. You will always be remembered and cherished by your fans as a truth teller, an incredible resource, and a class act. In addition to those things you will be remembered by me as an incredible father and family man for which I respected you greatly. I’m honored to have had the chance to learn from you. Keeping Mary and the boys in my prayers.

Rest In Peace Mountain Dog.
