Javier is very knowledgable, professional, provides great customer service. I went to Javier for weight loss along with building muscle. I was struggling with poor eating habits and weight gain. He designed a nutritional program for me that was realistic, easy to follow along with it being a plan that I could follow long term! I would DEFINETLY recommend Javier!!!
My experience with Against The Grain STL continues to evolve as I discover additional nuggets on my path to healthy living. My mindset has changed for the better and my nutrition and physical activity is sustainable today. In the past, most of my actions toward being healthy have been short-term and short-lived. I highly recommend against the grain STL and would encourage everyone who is thinking of living the best version of themselves to incorporate this resource for sustainable weight loss and fitness.

Javier was flexible with changes in scheduling. He was always on time. His instruction challenged me for physical workouts. And his guidance in nutrition and food/life changes worked in getting me to lose weight.

My goal was to build muscle and keep my weight steady while being motivated to change my diet. Javier has helped me do that for almost three years now and he is really fun to be around. A motivating while not overbearing presence. I look forward to every one of our sessions and they have definitely improved my physique and confidence. So grateful to have found Javier and I know you will be, too!

We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Javier, George! It's great to see his dedication reflected in your results.
If you’re serious about loosing weight you should work with Javier. There is no trainer better suited to support you with nutrition information and exercise plans tailored to your level of fitness. When I started working with Javier I struggled to complete basic exercises. He helped me build my fitness from the ground up and never making me feel embarrassed or ashamed for having a low level of fitness (which was my greatest fear about working with a trainer). We’ve been working together about 8 months now and I’m three quarters of the way to my goal weight. A huge part of my success is due to Javier's coaching, which has kept me honest and motivated to continually push myself. He's an attentive listener and follows up on questions posed in previous sessions. His professionalism is only matched by his personality -- which keeps sessions fun even when the exercises are really tough. I'd recommend working with Javier to anyone on a weight loss journey.

Thank you Holly for your amazing feedback. We're thrilled to hear that you're finding the training sessions with Javier beneficial and educational.
Being healthy is more than a number on the scale... it's a state of mind. Javier listened to what my goals were. He consistently changes the workouts so they are challenging but fun. They also keep me motivated and on track with my fitness objectives. I've never been a heavy person but seeing a personal trainer/wellness coach like Javier has helped me be more knowledgeable about my nutrition and overall health. Javier doesn't believe in rigid routines. He's successful because he genuinely cares about each client and it show in the individualized attention he gives to each person. Choosing to train with Javier is one of the best decisions I've made.
I have been working with Javier for only 3 months as of now, but I am already reaching some milestones and checking goals off of my list.
Javier doesn't just tell you what to do, he teaches the workouts, monitors your diet, and helps you learn to make better decisions so that the changes you make are sustainable and you can leave there confident that you will make healthy choices on your own.
Before I met Javier, I had never been a gym regular, so I was not able to do anything too strenuous. We started slowly and eased into more intense workouts as my fitness level improved, and now I can do things that were impossible only 3 months ago (pushups!) It was clear that he's dealt with many people in my situation before. He is patient and reassuring; this is a process and you can't do it all at once.
We aren't just working out, we are developing a healthy lifestyle.

Adam’s consistency has resulted in a 90 pound lost in a short 9 months
I've been training with Javier for about 3 months. I initially reached out to him after reading positive reviews regarding his approach to weight loss and nutrition. All of these reviews were spot on. He's helped me set realistic goals and make sustainable changes in my diet. I've lost 15 pounds so far, and anytime I mention a challenge I'm experiencing with making healthier diet/lifestyle adjustments, he's really great at helping me create a plan to tackle it.
