Testimonials
“Peace & Blessings King. Woke up to a painful shoulder, got myself up, did a quick meditation, smoked, and couldn’t wait to do my exercises. They alleviated the pain almost immediately…it’s still a bit throbby in the back of the shoulder blade. Though more tolerable an no wincing like I was when I woke up. I can also pick up my coffee mug again.”

"Julian has been instrumental in getting me up to speed in my fitness journey! After recovering from a knee surgery, I started working out with him 3x/week and have seen amazing improvement in my strength and cardio! I highly recommend his program to anyone at any fitness level. He also uses a holistic approach to help you achieve your specific goals as well as provides advice on nutrition! He will take measurements, follow up on your habits and keep you motivated. Not only is Julian a great fitness trainer, he is also very fun to work with and have a great personality! I have learned so much from him and look forward to our morning sessions, even though I’m not a morning person! I would highly recommend him!."

“Being that I worked and traveled a lot, I appreciated how flexible Julian was with my schedule. Each session he pushed me to go harder and ignored my complaints about what I couldn't do, which encouraged me to incorporate full body workouts more frequently. I was able to incorporate what he taught me during our sessions into my daily trips to the gym, providing more variety to my sessions. He definitely created an enjoyable and nurturing environment that made me excited for the next session. Also, my pushup and pull up game is on point thanks to him!”

“Banister Athletics has been an effective, affordable and accommodating option for me. Julian designs each work out based on my personal goals and the target areas of my body that I want to tone. Workouts are diverse and intense incorporating HIIT workouts, Calisthenics and overall conditioning and strength training. The trainer accommodates indoor and outdoor fitness sessions, which is great for keeping someone like me, who is reluctant to develop a consistent exercise routine, interested and engaged. The trainer has also exhibited attention to detail, noticing ways to improve my breathing through exercises and suggesting mindful meal tips to help me achieve my personal fitness goals. The trainer makes every fitness session a comfortable, professional and uplifting experience. I’m still on my journey to achieve my fitness goals of weight loss and increased muscle tone. I may update my review with results in the future.”
