I've had no previous experience with strength training or body conditioning. The most exercise I got on a daily basis for the past several years was walking my dogs from one end of the block to the other. This past April, however, my husband and I signed up at FYS for private & public lessons because we both had a goal to improve our body conditions, and I wanted to be able to enjoy doing indoor AND outdoor activities without being in pain or getting tired after a few minutes.

Justin pushes your body to its limits from warm-up flexing to cool-down stretching. He holds you accountable and keeps you focused on your personal plan. He is just as excited to root for you as you go through the motions of a front squat with a 2-lbs PVC pipe for the first time, and again when you're completing a front squat with 130-lbs barbell & weight to determine your max rep. Sometimes, you'll even find yourself in workouts that turn into Really Excruciatingly Wonderful Activities with kettlebells. :)

Now that it's the nine-month mark, my husband and I are a lot happier with where we are. Both of us aren't out of breath when going up/down flights of stairs or fuss with heavy grocery bags. My husband is on the search for belts for his new pants because his current belts no longer fit him. I run with my dogs along the entire acre of the backyard and they're happy to have me play with them. Yes, we're still active members in FYS, because we really, really enjoy being there - how can you not when the community is so positive and welcoming every day you enter?

TL;DR - there are no words to describe how thoughtful Justin is when it comes to ensuring that you meet your goals, no matter what your exercising experience is! The best fitness instructor and workout studio is right here in...

Justin seriously knows his stuff. I completed the 6 week kettlebell fundamentals series and got more out of it than I expected.

I was expecting expertise in the KB lifts, where he really exceeded expectations. What I wasn’t expecting was a depth of knowledge in so many aspects of health and fitness. From mobility to pure strength building - Justin delivers. He recommended personal mobility drills that actually work - something rare.

Anyone looking to improve their fitness will benefit from Justin. He proved he could coach brand beginners and advanced. He knows how to get people...
