Justin at Forever Young Studios has helped me a ton. I started going to this gym with no previous gym experience. Justin is great at working with all skill levels, even absolute beginners. When I started my plan was to learn the exercises for a few months and then just lift in a home gym. But now I'm hooked and plan to continue working with Justin. He is a great motivator and I'm constantly learning new things even after almost two years.”
