I've been training with Jay & Jolin ( BAROT BROS FITNESS ) for a little over a month. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we meet up at their gym in Signal Hill for late afternoon sessions after long hectic day at the office ! Jolin & Jay are always cheerful and motivating, and has the ability to constantly change up the routine so that it never gets boring. Our workouts have been a mix of boxing, circuit training with dumbbells, bands, foam rollers and stability balls. I have already noticed HUGE improvements-- especially in my core.
Jolin & Jay doesn't just focus on "weight loss". It's all about strength and endurance training. Any weight loss is just a side effect of getting in shape, getting active, and building up some muscle. But that makes it a sustainable weight loss that diets just can't ever provide. Which reminds me, Jolin and Jay can also do nutritional counseling and meal plans if you want so that you can maximize your outcome. Needless to say, I would definitely recommend BAROT BROS FITNESS to anyone looking to achieve immediate results.

"I trained with both Jolin and Jay during the NBA 2013 season. They have helped me with the mental and physical rigors of NBA life. The bro's helped my every aspect from nutrition, weights, & game preparation. What's sets the Barot Brothers apart from other trainers is their passion for training and athletes needs. As a player I give everything I have to my sport so I appreciate trainers that do the same".

I haven't been consistent with physical activity/exercise since my high school volleyball years and after meeting and working with the Barot Bros, my outlook on just staying and being physically active and fit was positive and hopeful.
To start, they are super nice and genuine guys that love what they do and it shows! They make working out fun and enjoyable; they go above and beyond what they are supposed to do by working on the areas they feel you need most work with through different exercises so it isn't the same workout each time. They push you to do and be your best not just during the workout but outside the workout in other aspects of life such as work and school in my case.
They don't force you to do any exercises you aren't comfortable with and the workout environment is very relaxing and easy going to say exactly how and what you feel! They also tell you what to eat and how much of it! That's a must for me since I'm always hungry! I've found that I'll be content and not too full with the food choices the bros have provided! They will accommodate with your schedule, therefore; if anyone is looking for trainers you'll get more than what you're looking for with the Barot Bros! You'll leave each workout session feeling great and proud of yourself like I do each time!
Thanks Jolin and Jay for everything; you guys really are the best! :)

Barot Bros. is good as it gets! I have been training with the brothers for the last 4 months, 3 times a week. Not only are they extremely motivating, supportive, and super-encouraging, they are always listening to your concerns, taking the extra effort to go over your meal plans, what supplements to take, what food to avoid, and what foods to eat! They even go as far as recommending which fast-food's would be the "better choice" if you are in a hurry like me! Lol. Unlike some personal trainers, they do not make you weigh in every session, or scold you for cheating on meals. I commend the Barot Brothers for making the extra effort to study nutrition to be able to provide their clients with accurate information when they need it. They are incredibly fit, and it totally helps that they worked with the Los Angeles Clippers basketball players for their 2012-2013 season on their strength training and conditioning! They have given me the tools and guidance to reach my goals for my upcoming nuptials! So far, I've lost 15lbs! And continue shedding the weight with their superb training!

Jolin and Jaykevin have completely changed my life. As a former dancer, I gained weight after I stopped training. I worked out on my own for 15 yrs, trying every new fad, from weight watchers to gym memberships and more. I had periods where I was satisfied enough with my appearance, but never truly fit and in shape the way I wanted to be. A year after having my son I was fed up with feeling bad. I was tired of strategically dressing to cover my flaws. I began training with Jolin and my life changed dramatically. Not only did I reshape my post-prego body, but my spirit changed, as well. I slept better, had more energy, felt positive and energized. After a year, my contract was up, but Jolin & Jaykevin asked me to train with them outside of the gym. Of course I accepted excitedly!
I've been training with the brothers for over 2 yrs now. They worked with me throughout my 2nd pregnancy and are currently helping me get back into fighting shape. I have friends of all physical levels who have tried them on for size and are all very happy with their individual results. I fully recommend these guys to anyone and everyone who is tired of feeling defeated. They changed my life and will definitely change yours.

I have been working out with the Barot brothers for well over a year now and I can't say enough good things about them. I workout avidly and try to switch up what I do on a daily basis so my muscles don't become used to any one exercise. No matter how I mix it up, I'm still sore after working out with the brothers. Every session is different with them and we target a different set of muscle groups each week. With them, I have discovered a new fondness for boxing and look forward to my weekly session with them!

Say goodbye to your boring, monotonous, overly populated gym, group classes, boot camps, new fads in exercise and think about a smaller private space with two athletic trainers and a whole lot of experience and fun!
Jay and Jolin get down and dirty with foam rollers, dynamic stretching, strength & weight training in circuits (super-set it out) and a whole lotta boxing and not the kind where you just hit a bag, I mean actual gloves and combos with a live person.
If you're lucky, you'll get to do some yoga stretches or better yet, one of them will stretch you out. If you're really lucky, you'll get to run sprints uphill and back peddle down or my personal fave...body fat test!! Don't be skerrrred!
I had an initial goal of "Operation 40"...to be healthy and fit. It feels great! I have now moved on to a new goal and Jay and Jolin are right there helping me achieve it, modifying exercise when I need it or challenging me as I get stronger. Body by J & J. You can go alone or with a partner...whatever you decide, just GO. Did I mention you can bring an ipod and listen to your own music?!
So get off the damn elliptical and go get a solid workout. You'll thank me later!

My friend had been working out with Jolin and Jay-Kevin for a while and kept telling me how amazing they were. At the time I was running and cycling and didn't really think that I would benefit from working out with a trainer. I was so wrong! I have never worked so hard or sweat so much, and I have a blast every time I go in. Also, my running and cycling have definitely benefited from the increased flexibility and core strength that I've gained from my time with the Barot Bros.

"I never really liked working out and was never motivated to do so. But after working out with the Barot Brothers I have a new outlook on exercising. For the last couple of years, I have been working out with Jay, who is truly an excellent trainer. Jay is a very professional, motivating, and inspiring trainer. He knows what to do and how to make one believe in themselves. Every time I feel like giving up, he finds a way to motivate me and push through the workout. Since it's personal training I have seen positive and fast results. Every workout session is different so I never get bored. I would highly recommend both Jay and Jolin to anyone who is serious about working out and meeting their goals. Nowadays, I can say that I enjoy exercising...thanks to the Barot Brothers."

If you live in the South Bay area and are looking to get yourself in better shape, looking to get stronger/leaner/bigger, looking to change your physique prior to season or just want to get healthier, I have something for you. The Barot Bros! I won't promote them or tell you how great they are. I will only say they have helped me throughout the last few seasons. They helped me maintain my strength and endurance during my career. I just think that it is important to our careers as officials to use every tool we have. "

"I have been physically active my entire life, and have always considered myself in excellent physical shape. Four years of playing college basketball I have trained with numerous high profile strength and conditioning coaches to improve as an athlete. However, I can honestly say I did not receive the results I have always wanted until I started working out with the Barot Brothers.
I was introduced to the Barot Brothers by my mentor Kevin Cutler. I was looking to take my workouts to a different level with something new, challenging and fun. After four months of training with Jay and Jolin my flexibility, strength and endurance increased tremendously. The Barot Brothers took my training to a whole different level and I was learning the importance of training hard but smart. I'm not a huge advocate of personal trainers but I will never train with anyone else except Jolin and Jay. Not only will they help you meet your goals but are dedicated to helping you commit to a life of healthy living and physical fitness".

"I have had the benefit of working with both Barot brothers, Jolin and
JayKevin. They not only bring a natural talent and trained skill to
their efforts but also a sense of integrity, commitment and engagement
with their client’s goals and workout sessions. They are able to conform
their skills to the client’s defined target. They use a variety of
proven techniques, personally innovated exercises, and emerging or
cutting edge methods. Both are able to clarify your goals by asking
questions and provide analysis and guidance to reach them. I have been
able to increase size and muscle definition. They are both easy going
and supportive. If you are serious about meeting your goals, you need to
seriously consider the Barot brothers."

Before a work out I'm nervous and after I feel like collapsing. I look back on my years of training in sports through high school, club, and college, and am still impressed with Jolin's ability to push me every work out to the limit. Jolin reads my body like a book knowing when to go further and when I went far enough with each workout. The skill that both JayKevin and Jolin share in fitness is incredible. They possess a gift and knowledge of training that shows through their passion and commitment. Their ability to conform to your goal and needs is uncanny. I'd recommend either of them to anyone for an intense session and look forward to continuing my training with them!

Jay is a great combination of crossfit trainer and yoga instructor for me. I have had a few trainers over the past year and Jay is the only one who gets results AND knows my body. He pays attention to your bodies limitations without letting you make excuses...:) He is the ONLY trainer I have ever had that makes sure I have stretched before and after each workout which is huge in preventing injuries. I am going to continue working with a trainer now that I have found Jay!

I have had the privilege of having my body pushed to the limit training with Jolin. Jolin knows how to push my body to exhaustion safely and correctly. I enjoy the friendly and competitive nature of the group workouts with the Barot Brothers and I always look forward to a Barot Brothers workout. Jolin and JayKevin show their professionalism, experience, and knowledge with each session. I have been able to increase my endurance and strength through a new-age variety of techniques. I enjoy the cardiovascular, calisthenic style training of each exercise and have seen first hand its benefits. I look forward to getting closer to achieving my goals!

"I've been training with JayKevin weekly for almost a year now. I am an active triathlete and have very specific goals for myself. JayKevin not only challenges me physically but mentally as well. There has not been a work out duplicated and I can't even imagine trying to come up with 52 different workouts in one year. Along with the amazing work outs, he supplies an endless amount of positive feedback, nutritional advice, as well as an amazingly good attitude".

"I have also worked out with personal trainers in the past, but Jay by far has provided the best results in only 2 months. He continuously challenges me and increases the difficulty of our routines. I “think” I can’t do half the things he asks me to do but he reminds me it’s mental and I find the strength to do them anyway. In only 2 months, I have increased my strength, reduced my body fat percentage by about 4% and am starting to see toning. I have started the group work-out on Sunday and that is an amazing session. Every Monday morning, I wake up with the reminder that I had an awesome workout! Thank you!"

"My name is Neil and Jay has been my trainer for the last year or so. I had several previous trainers with some not so pleasant experiences such as not showing up on time, not showing up at all, and some of them acting like they were training me for free........... What a difference it has been training with Jay. Jay has been professional, knowledgeable, friendly and always on time. It has been a pleasure training with Jay and I can assure you, you too will have a similar experience training with Jay. Thanks Jay for helping achieve my goal".

"Sore! But best way to workout!! I was always an active person but work threw me off a bit with my workout program. The group workout definitely kicked me into gear. I've been going for a couple weeks now and I can already see results and feel more motivated to attain my goal. Go solo or with a friend and get a great workout while meeting new people. It’s great for beginners and athletic people, since they have a beginner’s version and a challenging version to every exercise we do. Jay and Jolin take time to understand each person's needs and goals bringing eachothers specialties to make the goal possible. I love the fact that they are really helpful with tips on how to improve workouts outside of their sessions! Thanks Jay and Jolin!"
