Julian has been incredible for my teenage son, who has ASD. Under his guidance, my son has lost weight, gained energy, and built real confidence, in himself and with socializing with others. More importantly, Julian makes him feel comfortable and excited to train. he looks forward to working out and getting strong. Julian has a gift for working with kids of all abilities, teaching not just fitness but the joy and value of exercise. We’re so grateful for the positive impact he’s had on our son’s health and happiness.

I started working with Julian almost a year ago, and I'm so glad I did! Julian is very approachable and personable, and he's also extremely thoughtful and considerate about how he puts together training plans. I have a health condition that makes me prone to dizziness, and Julian always customizes my workouts with this in mind. He'll even adapt the workout plan right there in the moment depending on how my health is doing that day! As a result, I've made more progress than I ever thought possible, and I feel so much stronger and healthier than I did a year ago. I have very much appreciated Julian's coaching, and would definitely recommend working with him!

Julian has been working with my son for the last few months. He’s dropped about 25 lbs and is feeling so much better about himself. My son is quiet and introverted; Julian works at his pace and allows him to feel comfortable and supported. My son actually looks forward to his time with Julian!!!

Julian has been working with my child for two months now, I couldn’t be more grateful for his knowledge of the body and using that to help my child with areas of weakness. He has motivated my child so much and we have seen so much improvement in endurance - my child has chronic lung disease, Julian is very mindful of this and ensures that he monitors heart rate,/vitals. most importantly, we have seen so much improvement in self-esteem and overall health. So thankful for Julian’s help. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My son who has many challenges loves working out with Julian. As a parent, Julian has really listened and taken to heart my son’s physical needs. Due to several shoulder dislocations caused by seizures Julian has 100% strengthened his shoulder. It’s tough having to go to ER after every seizure when all ya wanna do is rest. Julian has saved Jadin from so much time in ER’s. Also, Julian has built up his muscles all over his body. I can see the improved posture and overall health. Extremely knowledgeable Trainer.
Julian goes the extra mile by friending my son on social media sites and even liking and commenting. That means the world to Jadin. Thank you Julian for all you do and the extras.
