Justus Shabazz-Allah is a certified personal trainer and lifestyle coach.
He began his life in training over 20 years ago when a friend dared him to workout with a local trainer named KO. Ever since then, exercising not only became a hobby, but a way of life. Justus discovered not only the physical attributes of working out, but also the long-term benefits to ones health. He, along with his brother and friends, would draw such a crowd at the local neighborhood gym based on the strength and technique they displayed when working out together. People would often ask him fitness questions on how they could improve their health, and he would graciously share his knowledge. It wasn’t until 5 years later that he decided to turn his passion into his profession.
Justus started out as a personal trainer at various New York City gyms, but could never really find his niche. He noticed that many of his clients seemed apprehensive when it came to working out in front of those that seemed more athletically astute. He wanted his clients to feel confident, and know that everyone is not an athlete; especially those just embarking on their wellness journey. That’s when he decided to stop working for franchised gyms, and become an independent trainer. It was also at this time that he created Gym Gang Fitness. Gym Gang Fitness is an online community of your peers that encourage you to reach your fitness goals, without feeling self conscious or defeated in the process.
As a dedicated trainer, Justus is very passionate about forming a genuine bond with his clients, and affirming that they yield their desired results. He is well aware that every one of his clients is a unique individual, and their abilities are not the same. He prides himself in learning their strengths and weaknesses, and improving on those skills. The combination of Justus’ education, along with his fitness background enables him to provide his clients with a bevy of options when assisting them in achieving their personal wellness goals. Weight loss, toning, circuit training, and bodybuilding are his forte. He’s even been featured on Good Morning America and PIX11 News in New York showcasing his training techniques.
Presently, Justus continues to build his Gym Gang Fitness brand, and encourage everyone to be his or her best. It’s pretty safe to say that Justus will leave his mark on the world in his quest to making it a healthier place.
