I started working with Jamil after a very long period of close to no physical activity (several years). My work involved sitting at a desk for prolonged periods of time and my diet consisted of basically coffee + pastries. At the beginning of working with him I could barely do a push-up, a lunge, or a sit-up. I am very careful with who I chose to work with, and Jamil was amazing at creating a safe, non-judgmental space in which I could basically start working on my fitness from zero. He put together a personalized plan for me that accounted for my fitness level (or lack thereof), health limitations (lower back pain) and goals - and kept reviewing it weekly as my fitness level improved. Jamil provided guidance on nutrition, focusing on whole, non-processed foods as well as other lifestyle factors to improve my overall health and wellbeing. I noticed my body get stronger week by week as I was able to lift heavier weights, and build more endurance - all as a result of Jamil constantly pushing my limits safely and effectively and providing encouragement and support when needed. Also, my back pain subsided - largely as a result of working with Jamil (after seeing several fancy rheumatologists for years to no avail). Later, I felt strong enough to take on Brazilian jiu-jitsu and he worked with me to accommodate our fitness plan around my new martial arts schedule. Jamil is one of the most fun people to work with that I have ever met. He is an effective communicator, professional, uplifting, caring, reliable and provides the highest level of quality possible.

At 28 I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroid Disease and it's been very tough on me. The doctors told me I could lose up to 3 lbs a year if I work really hard. It was very discouraging but I accepted it. Last July, I came off the meds because I felt like they were poisoning me and I saw no change with them. I gained weight, I didn't sleep well at night and I had no energy. Now, I sleep like a baby and I lost 12lbs in just 1 month! I never wore dresses because my mommy tummy poked through, now I love dresses.

I had back, neck and shoulder injuries, so I was apprehensive about training in general. Kathy's methods and attention to detail have resulted in a significant improvement in my strength and mobility. After two years of weekly sessions, I have never left feeling injured--the result of Kathy's care and precision throughout each workout.
