A WORD FROM MY CLIENTS

Justin proved his methods and mentality work to help me lose over 100lbs. He held me accountable and provided me with the motivation needed to be healthy, happy and successful in my weight loss goals.

Furthermore Justin’s personal training was the best I ever had and there’s no one who can replace him. I have maintained my weight loss with a continued regimen but wish he didn’t leave me high and dry for athletes in Philadelphia.

I’ve had the privilege of training with Justin Rubin for my personal training and his unique HIIT workouts thru 28 Reasons. For me the experience has been nothing short of transformative. From day one he tailored each session to my individual goals and needs, pushing me to new limits while always ensuring proper form and safety.

Justin brings about him an energy and motivation to each session that is unmatched. I’ve had the opportunity to attend many different HIIT sessions thru various gyms. I can say with confidence that I’ve never experienced one that will push clients more than his classes.

I highly recommend Justin to anyone looking to take their fitness journey to the next level.

-Tony V.

Having certain goals (races) and not knowing where to start, Justin’s guidance has certainly been the foundation of my journey. I’ve been trained by Justin for a little over half a year and I can certainly feel the progress. He’s always there to listen and tailor programming to your needs.

If you’re looking for someone who motivates, pushes, supports, and makes you reach your potential, Justin is the person.

I like to call him Rubin the great, because he truly is just that!

Connor B.

I have worked with fitness trainers several different times in my life, around 15 years or so, and I have never had one as proactive, organized, intelligent, motivated, understanding and compassionate as Justin Rubin. He continues to push me above and beyond my goals in order to get the best out of me even when I don’t want the best out of myself, going well above and beyond as a fitness trainer. Justin has transformed my entire lifestyle both in the gym and out, I would almost universally recommend Justin to my friends, family and peers who are interested in perusing fitness or lifestyle goals.

Best shape of my life working with Justin. Almost 58 years old and I am stronger than ever!

I first started out taking Justin's classes at Bria Method and watched him grow into the incredible trainer he is today. I would always say it was a love/ hate relationship because during Justin's workouts you wanted to scream every curse word in the books then immediately after the class was over you were thanking him for the best workout ever and never letting you give up. Justin is extremely talented and will push you to the ability he knows you have (whether or not you believe it yourself)! He Is so knowledgeable when it comes to injuries-- he will give your alternative exercises to help you recover in a healthy and timely manner. Justin encourages everyone with words, wisdom and motivation and that's why he has built a strong community of clients who turned into friends.

I started working with Justin in March, and the impact has been incredible. I reached out to train because I was in a slump and couldn’t get out of it alone and quite frankly knew he would kick my ass. I grew up an athlete and have always considered myself to be an athlete so looking for a coach has always been something I’ve been drawn to. Justin is exactly what you think when you think of a coach. He is someone who sees your potential before you can see it yourself, he truly cares about your goals and wants to see you win just as much or possibly even more than you do and he the definition of walking the walk. As I walked into my first Monday morning session, a little shaky, a little too caffeinated and 100% nervous as to what this new commitment I just had made was going to look like - little did I know Monday mornings would quickly become my favorite hour of my week. He has guided me through training for my first Hyrox and now, as I prepare for my first half marathon, I’ve seen remarkable progress. Not only have I lost weight and gained confidence, but Justin also pushed me beyond what I thought was possible and supported me through every challenge—even when I felt like giving up. His dedication, belief in my potential, and the immense heart he brings to every session have made all the difference. I’m truly grateful for his guidance and unwavering commitment to my success.

You have pushed me to become a better person, mentally and physically, while also inspiring me with what you do on a personal level. You hold me accountable and keep me on track to be the best I can be. I can’t thank Justin enough for his impact in my life. Thank you!!!

Nola J.

I am SO happy that I decided to train with 28 Reasons! I feel myself getting stronger. For example I was able to run at 8 mph and jog at 6.5-7mph which were numbers I’ve never been at. I like the variety in the workouts and Justin knows the right way to push me but not over the edge. He is also great at coaching and encouraging and I’m looking forward to having our weekly reviews. I also really appreciate the eating coaching and feedback. I know my nutrition is an area to improve to help me make more progress. I also appreciate how he pushes me during workouts because it helps me complete them. I’m very happy with the decision to train with him and view him as more of an overall life coach than a personal trainer.

Fitness should be fun. Fitness also should be hard. Those can and should be shared truths especially if you want to consistently maintain your health and hit your fitness goals. Justin combines that balance of fun and hard well. He’s a tough trainer. He holds you accountable. He pushes you. And he also celebrates the wins, keeps it light at times, and roots you on. He programs to his athlete training philosophy plus your goals/lifestyle/career, and what you enjoy. If you do virtual his programs are and convenient and consistent. If you do in person his energy at 5 am should be studied as he’s a human version of preworkout which helps that early.

Julie D.

Justin is an incredible coach, trainer, role model and motivator. Before Justin started training me, I was inconsistent and did not push myself. He has truly made me stronger, physically and mentally. He has made me a true athlete and transformed my body. He will push you, motivate you, encourage you and call you out on your BS. Truly grateful for Justin and everything that he has done in my life!

Nicki L.

I had the opportunity to work with Justin at XXVIII Reasons through his classes as well as 1:1 training. I can confidently say that it was a transformative and positive experience. From the very first time meeting Justin back in the day he has demonstrated a deep knowledge of fitness, living a healthy lifestyle, channeling a positive mindset and a genuine passion for helping clients achieve their goals.

One of the standout qualities of Justin is his ability to motivate. He has always encouraged me to stay focused and committed. His positive attitude made every session enjoyable.

Justin is not only skilled in designing effective workouts, but he also played a significant role in training for Hyrox and helping me through a difficult injury both physically and mentally.

Overall, I highly recommend Justin & XXVIII Reasons to anyone looking to improve their fitness. I look forward to continuing my fitness journey with him in the future!!

Maggie V.

Justin is the best! His motivation and push is unmatched! Not only is he knowledgeable about training your body, but the mindfulness that he incorporates into his trainings are incredibly beneficial. Whether you’re training for an event or just trying to be better than yesterday, Justin is the best of the best! He will provide the teaching and training to reach whatever goal you have set, the motivation to realize you are capable of more, and the realization of what working out hard can do for your body and more importantly your mind! He’s an incredible trainer and just such a good person, and anyone who trains with him is in excellent hands!

Lindsey B.

Prior to meeting Justin, I could barely run a mile. I just competed in the HYROX World Championships and won many first place titles in the sport. I have run half marathons and squatted more than my body weight. Since beginning my training with Justin about four years ago, I have achieved goals that I thought were never possible and fell in love with fitness along the way.

I’ve worked with Justin both in a group setting and individually, and due to my relocation, he has been coaching me virtually for over three years now. He has been the best coach, trainer, and friend throughout the time I have known him. He never fails to push me harder in person, and definitely does not fall short as a virtual motivator either. For example, today’s workout called for 20 wall balls at 20lbs. As this is largely above the weight that I would ever need to be using for wall balls, I was on my way to pick up a 16lb ball until I read Justin’s note under the written exercise: “Don’t be soft. 20lbs.” He knows exactly when to call me on my bullshit and ensures that I am pushing to my absolute limits.

Justin is an extremely attentive online trainer, as he strategically crafts my workouts daily, working towards specific goals, while catering to injuries and answering all of my workout related questions (there are a lot of them). The positive physical and mental results that have come as a direct byproduct of working with Justin are inestimable.

Not only does Justin create plans that lead to results for others, but he is also one of the most fit people I know and works extremely hard to accomplish the goals he sets for himself. He is constantly encouraging me to work harder with his seemingly endless list of accomplishments including, but for sure not limited to, competing at HYROX World Championships, completing an IRONMAN, and running super fast marathons. His unwavering commitment and dedication to self-improvement is inspirational and his passion for helping others is portrayed through his coaching style.

I can confidently attribute my fitness growth and success to Justin’s dedication, expertise, and inspiration. Whatever you may be looking to achieve, 28R will make sure it happens.

Jillian

I couldn’t recommend Justin and 28R enough! Joining his classes, were not only physically challenging, mentally challenging, but also such an amazing experience getting to be part of such an incredible group of people and building friendships along the way! Justin programs so efficiently that when you’re done your workout, you hit all the muscles that you were meant to and he also is the best at making sure he pushes you to your capacity and at the same time making sure don’t hurt yourself and have good form! I can write a million reasons why I loved his classes!! If you’re looking for an awesome coach and like-minded people, 1000% recommend giving 28R a try!

Kristen W.

Justin is a fantastic motivator. He puts his heart into pushing people to reach their potential. He often sees things in people they don’t even see in themselves. He puts his money where his mouth is and leads wholeheartedly by example.
Iron sharpers iron and that’s why Justin is the type of person you want along with you on your health and fitness journey.

Mike V.

Justin is the rare trainer that is super knowledgeable, easy to get along with, motivating, and genuinely cares about his clients. He will push you when you need it the most and quickly change up an exercise if it is not working for you. I would highly recommend training with Justin.

Kelley K.

Justin is programming my first Hyrox. As a working physician mom of 3 with variable work hours, I wanted to find a coach that would program a workout that would prepare me for Hydrox and allow me to train on my own schedule. Justin has more than delivered. His workouts are very tough. He personalizes the workouts to build on my strengths (running) but also develop the other aspects to ensure success in competition. He is approachable and very communicative. He is flexible and able to program workouts depending on access to equipment (ie while on vacation with my family) and schedule. I give Justin my highest recommendation without reservation.

Julia N.

Justin is so amazing at what he does! When I started looking for a trainer, I wanted someone that was going to physically challenge me, get me real results and be there to motivate me. Justin is so positive and uplifting while not comprising the level of intensity in his workout plans. Extremely happy at the shape he got me in for my wedding and haven’t looked back since!

Marsella P.

Justin is by far the most amazing and knowledgeable trainer I have ever had. When I started working out with Justin I was literally a fitness virgin. His knowledge and expertise has not only taught me the basics of training but made me a stronger a person! He pushed me to believe in myself and to never stop pushing.

Melissa L.

XXVIII Reasons is built on a mission and a vision much bigger than just getting people "fit". It stands for helping people the best versions of themselves and break away from self limiting beliefs so you can achieve more than you ever thought you could. It stands for a community that celebrates your wins, but also supports you through your challenges. You can go pretty much anywhere for a good workout. XXVIII Reasons is much more than that, you will get stronger, go further and accomplish more than what you though you were capable of.

Adam M.

Justin is a rare breed. Yes, he is an incredible fitness professional and trainer. But most can put together a work out regimen. Where Justin separates himself from the competition is his insatiable desire for improvement, the energy he brings to the gym and the unwavering support of and belief in the athletes he trains. He has a unique ability to motivate people both inside and outside the gym. He is easy to root for and someone I admire greatly. The sky is the limit for Justin, and for all of us who can keep up.

Heather T.

I highly recommend 28R for anyone looking to reach their fitness goals. Justin is an incredible motivator who genuinely cares about each person's progress. He takes the time to understand your goals and pushes you to achieve more than you thought possible. His passion for coaching is evident in everything he does, and he truly practices what he preaches. If you're looking for a trainer who will support and challenge you every step of the way, this is the place to be.

Marina R.

I worked with Justin for over a year and a half between 2021-2023, and the experience was transformative. My goal was weight/fat loss, and I was able to lose 50 lbs within the first year and am currently maintaining it. Justin introduced me to weight training techniques, proper running form, and taught me the use of an entire group of gym equipment that in the past I’d never dare use. Also the importance of diet management and holding one’s self accountable was a powerful learning lesson. In 2022, I completed a fitness competition that wasn’t even within my vision or goals but with Justin’s support and encouragement I felt confident enough to attempt. For someone just starting out in fitness, I understand just how critical it is to work with an experienced professional, like Justin. The skills and mindset that he instilled in me, I still use today.
