Jamil is awesome. He developed exercise plans for both me and my 14-yo son. Very attuned to your individual goals, and how you can achieve success both physically and mentally. Walks the talk and is incredibly experienced. Hugely recommended. read more

I have struggled with my weight and maintaining a healthy diet for many years. I usually started workout programs or eating healthy and quit after a few weeks. In February 2024, I decided enough is enough. It was time to get the help of a personal trainer. I trained with Jamil for 6 months and made more progress with him than I have on my own in the past 15 years. Before training, I had several goals in mind: To lose weight, gain strength and eventually do unassisted pull-ups. While it's still a work in progress, Jamil's patience, support and constant encouragement helps to keep me on track. After 6 months of training, I weigh less than I have in 25 years, I feel more confident in my own skin and set additional goals. Jamil truly helped me make a sustainable lifestyle change and I will forever be grateful for it. If you are struggling to reach your goals, he'll help you achieve them. read more

I've been working with Jamil for a bit over 6 months and have been very happy with the results. I have some chronic medical issues that complicate exercise. Jamil works around them to ensure that I'm able to make continuous, meaningful progress. Throughout us working together, he has always been responsive to feedback, ensuring that our work is moving me closer to my goals. Regardless of what your objectives are, I'm confident that Jamil will have the knowledge and attitude to best help you achieve them. read more

Project ReHumanize These days I find myself experiencing tiny jolts of euphoria where for a split second it dawns on me that I'm a fitter, thinner, more confident, more hopeful and overall happier person than I was less than a year ago. For that, in large part I have Project Re-Humanize to thank. I have been undergoing my "Re-Humanization" process under the guidance of Jamil for the last eleven months. During that period of time I have shed approximately 30 pounds. I gained muscle and built up a level of endurance which has allowed me, for the first time in my life at the age of 45, to run a 10 mile race, hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, and generally transform myself into a healthy and active person. Project Re-Humanize came into my life at a point when I seemingly hit rock bottom. I was overweight, depressed, hopeless, and substituted food and alcohol for any meaningful activity in life. As a recent widower and a single father to two boys, one of which has special needs, I did not think that it would be possible to make any changes in the downward spiral of a lifestyle I've created. Once I started working with Project ReHumanize, it became apparent that with the right guidance I could make the much needed change. While there are infinite number of trainers out there, it was obvious from the very beginning that Jamil stood apart from large majority of your stereotypical trainers. His approach integrates every aspect of the human experience. He pays attention to the whole person and targets not only fitness and nutrition but provides support on every level in order to ensure that the client is on the path to success. His process is well thought out and is continuously custom tailored to the person he's working with. He knows how to encourage and push his clients, but more importantly he's also aware that sometimes he needs to step back and just support the person in order to then pick up and move them forward. As people, we are all vulnerable and susceptible to our own insecurities. I know first hand that my path to a healthy lifestyle was greatly impeded by a variety of such issues. In working with Jamil, we were able to identify these vulnerabilities and use them to create momentum that actually propelled my progress to a whole new level. I truly feel that Project Re-Humanize has done exactly what it's name purports to do. It has guided me on the path to my own Re-Humanization. I am forever grateful for that as I know that this has been a life-saving experience for me. read more

Project Re-Humanize - Machu Picchu Inca Trail. - Trainers Near Me

Jamil is a great trainer that has been patient with both my lack of athleticism and asthmatic limitations. I've worked with Jamil for over 3 months now. I have lost a significant amount of weight and noticed a significant impact in the way my body looks. A reduction in cellulite and an increase in my overall athletic performance has helped boost my confidence and makes this whole fitness journey feel very doable. I went from not being able to do a standard push up to doing 10 sets of 10 over the course of my training. I look forward continuing my progress as I work to correct my mechanics, strengthen my lung capacity, and restore my overall health (things I've struggled with doing on my own in the past). read more

I initially approached Jamil with the intention of running an ultra marathon. The day of the race I was confident I would complete it (barring injury), as we put in the work physically and mentally. Jamil's coaching kept me injury free, and increased my strength and endurance. My ability to recover is better than ever and my confidence has hit a new level as I have never run so far in my life! I am looking forward to my next challenge which I now know is not so much about the accomplishment but about the lifestyle and the process. read more

Jamil is an excellent coach. I reached out to him because I needed to run a mile and a half in a certain amount of time for a test. Jamil was able to pinpoint what I needed to work on. I was able to improve my form and stamina for my run with his help. I saw results within two weeks. Jamil was also able to help me mentally and nutritionally reach my running goal. I passed the test with some time to spare. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

I have an athletic background (lacross and vollyeball player). I initially took on Jamil's coaching in an effort to gain more muscle and become more endured, but I soon learned he had way more to offer than simple performance development. His wholistic approach to fitness, health and nurturing a growth oriented mindset offered me more than mere performance gains: he transformed how I viewed health and fitness as he guided my nutrition and training plan, and helped me adopt healthy lifestyle changes. Not only did I run my first race of 33 miles within a year of training with Jamil (a distance I never imagined I could do), but my brain fog and anemia vanished, (something I suffered with for over 10 years)! I also have a ton of energy throughout my day (no need for caffeine), and I am more productive during work and motivated to stay fit! If you are looking for someone to get you fit and healthy, and teach you lifestyle habits that will prevent you from regressing, this is your guy! His down to earth attitude and energy made my efforts at achieving greater levels of fitness (and health) fun and relatively easy. Strongly recommend. read more

At the start of 2021, I had decided that my word of the year would be "fitness," but I found myself without clear direction and consistency in pursuit of a goal. Three months into the year, I saw a flyer for Project Re-Humanize in a coffee shop window, with appealing wilderness imagery a focus on "human fitness and development." I was also interested in the "1 on 1 and couples training services," since my wife and I often discuss a desire to make health improvements, which can be challenging with our busy lifestyle. Upon reaching out and speaking with Jamil, I was impressed with his knowledge, attentiveness, and curiosity in getting to know our background and aspirations. Since we started working with him, Jamil has shown an investment every step of the way, sending us specific weekly exercise plans and nutrition guidelines, explaining new material, sending us book and video recommendations to support our learning, and holding us accountable in the process. He is accessible, communicative, and generous with his time and energy. Jamil considers the whole person when working with us, even coaching us in how we can improve our home environment as it can serve our wellbeing. Over the past four months, I have become stronger, more endured, more confident, and proud of the progress I see when I look in the mirror. My wife has also benefited greatly from the process, and he has customized his approach to meet our individual needs. I am especially excited because I know this is just the beginning, if I maintain the level of consistency and continual improvement that I have been able to keep over the past few months, thanks to Jamil's coaching. If you are anything like me and spend time going back and forth about decisions before taking a step, rest assured that working with Jamil is a great leap forward in one's self-actualization process. Highly recommend! read more

Jamil is awesome & I can't recommend him enough! He is truly amazing at what he does and has such a great depth of knowledge about fitness and health. I think what sets him apart from other trainers is his holistic approach and genuine care for his clients. Jamil always gives in-depth explanations of how & why to do certain exercises and answers all questions thoroughly. I feel comfortable being honest with him about my goals and struggles because I know he truly cares about my wellbeing & success and will meet me with encouragement & understanding. Jamil helped incorporate a sense of structure, discipline, and positivity into my life at a time when I really needed it. He is the ultimate accountability partner & cheerleader. Prior to working with Jamil, I never looked forward to running or working out. After having worked with him for about 6 months, I can confidently say that I am now someone who looks forward to training and I have goals that I previously never even dared to dream about. I am the fittest I've ever been in my life; I feel amazing & have gotten tons of compliments from people who have seen my progress. If you're looking to make a positive and lasting change in your life, Jamil is your guy! read more

Where do I even begin?! There is so many wonderful things to say about my experience training with Project Re-Humanize (Jamil). First, he took his time to get to know me , my background with exercise, my strengths and areas where I need to work at . He took my fitness level into account and based on that created a program that was right for me. Then, his encouragement, accountability, and dedication to see me through my goals held me steady. Project Re-humanize helped me gain confidence to reach fitness goals. I was challenged but I was also understood. I felt accomplished at the end of every workout. Jamil is an incredible coach who leads by example . I have never ever met someone so passionate and dedicated to his goals. Just a few minutes talking with him is enough to feel inspired! Working with him can change your perspective into healthy living. He helped me realize that what seems impossible is actually possible, fun, reachable! I am able to go to the gym with confidence now, but even more I now know the simple things I can do outdoors that make a great workout. I lost 9 pounds in 1 month of working with Jamil, @project-rehuminize . My journey just started but the tools Jamil has given me will remain a lifetime. He taught me that wellness is not a sprint is a marathon. Fitness and wellness is a lifestyle. Thank you for everything and I can't wait for what is next! Surely I know that I can always count on you, Jamil. As he would say "let's kick ass!"...Thanks for helping me see that truly there is no mountain high enough , there's no valley low enough . read more
