Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: The passion and pride in my work shines through, because it's not work to me. 13 years later, I've traveled all over the world, trained thousands of people, and I'd have done it for free, it's so fun. The compliments about how they were at a wedding, a vacation, or work and someone complimented them and they immediately smiled and thought of me. I'm 3 or 4 states away, and you're thinking about when you can get back to see me. It's so rewarding and flattering. Money can't but that type of satisfaction.

Ive been working with Akil for 8 years. He is a great motivator, and builds great workouts to keep it fresh and interesting. As a lifetime trainer, a true fitness pro, Akil knows what the body can and cant do, and what it should and should not do - this keeps me fit, and out of harms way. He's got a great philosophy about training and life (Progress Over Perfection), and believes in a balanced approach to life - work hard, play hard, eat well, live well. I cant recommend Akil enough - no matter what your current state, no matter what your goals, Akil will work with you to move you forward, always forward, with a ready smile, a great attitude, and a workout program that is based in over 2 decades of experience, science and fact.

I wish there were 10 stars on this page because that's how many Akil deserves!!! Akil is the BEST trainer. His dedication to his clients is unsurpassed - he truly does EVERYTHING he can for each one. Akil transformed my body for my June 2014 wedding. I was always in good shape (hit the gym five times per week and watched what I ate), but I needed some much-needed toning and sculpting for my big day. He listened to my needs and created a workout that was exactly what my body needed. From the moment we started working together in March until a week before my wedding, he had me on a vigorous workout routine that had me looking my very best! I still look at the pictures and am absolutely in LOVE with how toned and fit I was for my wedding day! His prices are worth EVERY PENNY!!! Trust me - if you're looking for a trainer who will listen to you, transform your body AND have fun doing it - RUN don't walk to Akil Ross. He is simply the BEST!

I've been personal training with Akil for almost 10 years now. Akil is always professional & on time for our sessions. Besides being extremely knowledgable about the human body including appropriate workouts & nutrition, he has a natural talent for knowing what his clients need. He's an outstanding teacher & motivator who knows when & how much to push for optimal results. I would highly recommend his services!

I cannot say enough about how great of an experience my husband and I had working with Akil prior to our wedding. I have never felt better and looked better then I did working with him. Akil helped me to stop focusing on the scale and increased my strength and toning getting me the exact results I wanted. I would highly recommend him to all fitness levels as he structures a plan specific to your body, needs, and abilities while pushing you to challenge yourself along the way.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I read an auto biography about passions and doing something that you love. I quit my restaurant management job, started over and 13 years later, I've traveled the world, changed hundreds of lives and I can't believe I get paid to do what I love. I'm extremely blessed. I try to pass on what I've learned to others every day through passion and pride.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Choose someone whose ideals mesh with yours, who constantly inspires and motivates you and most importantly, someone whom you have fun with. You're going to spending a lot of time with this person and it should be fun!!

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    Am I doing this for my boyfriend/girlfriend or for myself? Is this more for vanity or health? How much time am I willing to dedicate to this? Am I excited to grow and change into a new person mentally and physically!!?
