Before discovering Barot Bros Fitness, I considered myself to be in pretty good shape. I enjoyed playing basketball, doing yoga, looking up youtube workout videos, and trying my best to read up on what constitutes a healthy diet and sticking to it. I was at the gym playing basketball when I met Jay. Very cool guy. He told me about Barot Bros Fitness and gave me a card, leaving it completely up to me to decide if I wanted to give training a try.
The first consultation/assessment was free, so I thought why not. Remember how I said that I thought I was already in good shape? Wrong. I humbled myself as Jay guided me through many exercises I'd never heard of. Turns out there were so many other muscles I never knew I had, and in just the first visit he helped me tone all of them. Especially with summer right around the corner, I knew these guys were the real deal and could help me achieve that summer bod I always wanted. They took down my initial weight and body fat percentage, asked me what my fitness goals were, and which problem areas I wanted to zap. It really felt as if my goals were their goals. As I continued training with both Jay and Jolin, we worked hard towards those goals and I gradually saw and felt results. I kept a mental record of running times/body fat percentages/ max reps and the numbers don't lie -- I set so many personal records, I had more energy, and even my friends asked what I was doing differently. Consistently training with them and taking their nutrition tips seriously has really paid off. Many people dread working out but with the Barot bros, working out is a fun challenge. For example, since I've gained much more upper body strength, we break out into handstands every now and then and I think I'm getting good! I've also done a few of their Saturday morning boot camps with my friends and I absolutely love the group workout environment. Exercise, yoga, fresh air, fun with friends = best way to jumpstart your weekend.
What I love most about the Barot bros is that they aren't just meathead, gymrat trainers who want to lift heavy and do a million reps, they really get to know you and your lifestyle so that they can tailor a workout plan to fit you perfectly (**they are especially accommodating in regards to your schedule, the only trainers I know who will meet you on time at 6am, with a smile on their face). Humans are creatures of habit; Jay and Jolin promote healthy LIFESTYLES that help create better workout and eating habits, making it easier to not to ditch that New Year's resolution. They love to share delicious AND nutritious recipes they find or come up with themselves, and they have a great taste in music! which almost guarantees good workout music no matter what tunes get you moving.
All in all, it was a no brainer staying with Barot Bros. Besides being incredible, experienced trainers who practice what they preach, they are probably two of the most down to earth people who love what they do and I highly recommend that you just try them out. You don't know what you're missing.
