Justin is transformative, hands on, and easy to work with. I’ve been working with him for nearly 3 years and he’s been unlike any trainer I’ve had. Constantly creating and adjusting goals with you, as committed to seeing your results and progress as you are, responsive, and funny. He makes personal training something that I genuinely look forward to each time. Cannot recommend him strongly enough!

My experience with DHA has been excellent! Having trained for over 30yrs, I’ve had a lot of trainers. DHA rises above. I love the variability, Justin’s attention to detail and ability to work with me no matter what I have going on. I highly recommend Justin & DHA, they’ll get you ready for anything

I cannot recommend Dark Horse Athlete highly enough. From the moment you engage with Justin, it’s clear you’re working with a professional who is deeply passionate about unlocking the full potential of every athlete with whom he works. His approach is grounded in scientifically-backed and proven training methodologies, personalized attention, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Whether you're an elite competitor or just beginning your athletic journey, Dark Horse Athlete meets you where you are and crafts a plan tailored to your goals. His emphasis on both physical and mental conditioning sets him apart, creating athletes who not only perform at their peak but also develop resilience and confidence that extends far beyond the playing field or jiu-jitsu mat. The training environment he fosters is second to none—motivating, empathetic, and innovative. Justin has fostered a community where dedication and effort reign supreme. He stresses hard work and effort. He has taught me to push beyond my preconceived notion of limits, inspiring me to lifetime PRs at 44 yrs of age. He brings an infectious intensity that makes even the toughest workouts possible. And if you're following along on Instagram (@dark_horse_athlete), you know his community is just as inspiring as his methods, consistently celebrating growth, effort, and results. 5 stars isn’t enough. This is the gold standard in athletic training.

I’ve had an exceptional experience with Dark Horse Athlete. The training programs are well-designed, challenging, and tailored to individual needs. Coach Justin is knowledgeable, supportive, and truly dedicated to helping athletes reach their full potential. The focus on physical performance, nutritional balance, and mental toughness sets DHA apart from other training organizations. I had been training for years on my own for various functional fitness and endurance competitions but not really seeing any improvement on my performance. Within a few months of working with Dark Horse Athlete I had a significant reduction in body fat, improved aerobic conditioning and recovery. I have also been able to see an increase in my overall strength. I am excited to see continued improvement with DHA. Whether you’re an aspiring athlete or a seasoned competitor, Dark Horse Athlete provides the tools, standards, and expertise needed to excel. I highly recommend them to anyone serious about enhancing their athletic performance.

Tailored plans, detailed and specific to your goal, along with the apps and tools they use make the process simple and reliable. You get out what you put in, and with Dark Horse Athlete, all you need to do is show up and train. I hope to continue being a client for a long time.
