I’ve worked with all the trainers at J Bodyworks, they’ve all been incredible. Very smart, excellent at what they do, and bring a level of understanding and insight above and beyond what I’ve gotten elsewhere. Can’t recommend them enough!

I’ve been working with Julian over the past few months and it’s been amazing! After an injury in the past, I felt I had lost all my mobility and dealt with chronic foot pain. I had honestly thought I was a lost cause but decided to give the gym a try after a referral from a friend. After working with Julian for a few weeks, I had amazing results! I could do higher intensity workouts for longer durations and not deal with any of my previous problems. His approach is scientific and his observation skills are top notch. He understands what your body needs and knows how to remediate it. He is a pleasure to work with and I used to look forward to our sessions eagerly. I really can’t thank Julian and J Bodyworks enough for helping me and making even my everyday life so much easier!

After 6 months of not being able to swim or sleep through the night due to a shoulder injury I incurred while surfing, a friend recommended Jbodyworks. I worked with Corey. He was attentive and listened to my issues. He assessed my body posture, gait, strength, and flexibility and established specific metrics that we could use to gauge my progression week over week. He identified habits and compensations I had developed over the years that likely contributed to my initial injury. He developed routines for my specific issues and continued to tailor them based on how I progressed each week. I am thrilled and shocked that after about 6 sessions with Corey I was no longer experiencing shoulder pain at night and was able to surf again. Moreover, he helped me develop different techniques to avoid a future shoulder injury. I highly recommend him.

I’ve been working with Corey at J Bodyworks for the last few months. He is absolutely incredible. I have hypermobility issues and it’s been a struggle to find practitioners who are knowledgeable and able to take a preventative systems approach. In the past, working with physical therapists, I worked on one physical issue at a time, with little focus on prevention. With Corey, I’ve gotten to the root of many of the issues and created a plan that has helped bring pain relief and increased functioning to many aspects of my life. Corey brings a great sense of humor and immense attention to detail in the process. He is also incredibly responsive when it comes to feedback around things that do and don’t work for me. He is very good at thinking creatively and flexibly. We often easily transition to or away from exercises based on how I’m feeling that day or if a specific problem shows up in the course of our session. Basically, he’s phenomenal at meeting you where you’re at without judgement. I’ve been so grateful to be able to work with him and highly recommend him if you’ve been experiencing chronic pain, are in the process of rehabilitation and looking to become more active, or if you just want an amazingly supportive person cheering you on as you build strength.

I worked with Fiona for about six months in preparation for my wedding. She pushed me hard and I was able to achieve many of the goals I had set. The only hiccups were occasional scheduling conflicts but the entire team is flexible and I worked with Laura a few times when she stepped in for Fiona. Overall a great experience, and many of my friends also workout here as well.

Almost 10 months in and the results speak for themselves. I always wanted a trainer that approaches my training scientifically. Enter Julian! An extremely thoughtful, knowledgable and FUNNY trainer I've ever met. When I joined I had severe lateral and anterior pelvic tilt. Julian and I kept figuring out what works for my body together. He explains his approach, so this process is very transparent. We've explored all the avenues from the vestibular system exercises, nerve glides, different openers to functional training of muscles that need to engage. Before I joined J bodyworks I didn't know how to read my body well, Julian has taught me that thanks to a very intuitive language he uses ("feel that zing?"). Speaking of reading my body, Audra has helped me in this department too. She's a bodyworks therapist at J Bodyworks. Audra is a very kind person with a very positive energy and aura. She uses Hendrickson technique which is a therapy for optimum function, rather than just symptomatic relief. Have you ever seen any massage therapist get into your psoas? I've had many deep tissue massages in my life, but her technique is effective and unique. My personal favorite is her neck massage. Her work with SCM is unique too. If you have a trainer and bodyworks therapist, they work together and that's really powerful. Apart from all the science stuff, this gym is full of amazing people and filled with good energy. I've briefly worked with KJ when Julian was outta town and that was a great experience. So there are always other trainers who fill in for your trainer in case they aren't available to make sure you stay on track. Jae, Laura, Corey are all great! Love this gym a lot!
