I have been training Martial Arts with Master Julius for several years. In his case the "Master" title is fully deserved, as he has led a life dedicated to training and learning. At get FitFit 1st - it is clear there is a focus on making health and fitness a priority, and part of your life, not just showing-up for an hour, two/three times a week. The level of knowledge brought by brothers Julius and Julian is inspiring (that isn't hyperbole). You know every class is going to test you to your limit - sometimes it's a physical challenge...ok ALWAYS it's a physical challenge, you never walk out of there  without knowing you had a workout! But Julius and Julian are so well-versed in body mechanics and training techniques, that they recognize where your weakness and imbalances are, and develop individual training plans that aim to correct them - I quite often find myself saying 'there's nowhere to hide' in this session! It is clear they are always educating and improving themselves - they then pass that onto their clients. Every session brings something new that Julius has studied, understood and given conscious thought about how to introduce to my work-out, and I always leave feeling like I have been tested, have improved, and learned something more about my body and fitness level.

The atmosphere at this studio is incredible - an under-stated positive energy from the Trainers that lets you know you're here to work as soon as you walk through the door, and they're going to make sure you do - but it is also very nurturing & supporting, no judgement  - you just know your training is in good hands, and that they sincerely want to help you maximize your efforts. From my perspective - I trained hard a lot when younger, poor technique and a sense of invincibility - now as a middle-aged man, those injuries come back to haunt me - but with the thoughtfulness of Julius and his training methods and desire to help me, we have worked through limitations and continually remove them. I've had a couple of surgeries over the last two years - at one of my follow-up visits to the Surgeon, I demonstrated several of the exercises we'd been training - and the Doctor literally looked in the file to make sure he remembered the surgery I'd had correctly - as he couldn't believe I'd made so much progress in my capabilities.

If all you are looking for is somewhere that knows what they are doing and will give you a challenging work out, well that's a given! But this studio offers so much more knowledge and support to instill and maintain a truly life-bettering fitness lifestyle.
