I contacted Juris on a lark after having lunch with a close friend who I hadn’t seen in a while. She looked like a rock star and I bombarded her with questions on how she had gotten herself into such great shape. She replied with just one word…Juris!

My name is Alexandra. I’m a native New Yorker who grew up in Queens. I’m an elementary school teacher. I have always battled my weight. Food for me has ALWAYS been associated with comfort. I used food as a way of dealing with difficulties and stresses in my life. My help came in the form of a trainer.

I had my first session right after the New Year and I’ve been a loyal client ever since. Before Juris my workout consisted of cardio only. I would take a step class or a kickboxing class at the gym and call it a day. I never incorporated weight training into my routine.

I can honestly say that through weight training my body metamorphosed into a completely different species. I am strong. People ask me if I’m a competitive swimmer because of my toned arms, shoulders and back. I just smile to myself and shyly respond…No, I just weight train.

I look forward to my weekly sessions with Juris. Each session is a full body workout which also incorporates stability training. No two sessions are alike. Juris is constantly challenging me and encouraging me to do more. I’m in the best shape of my life. I leave my sessions bright red, panting and covered in sweat. I feel amazing!

I have found balance in my life. I watch what I eat and make my workouts a priority. Juris is a truly talented trainer.
