Strength, stillness, and care that meets you where you are.

“Johari is a gentle but very powerful man who has walked through hell and back. His experiences in this life have allowed him to grow in his empathy towards others and he holds his clients with curiosity instead of judgement. The love that outpours from him during a session is equally calming and electric, his hands hold heat and the tuning forks he uses combines frequencies with his own channeling of energy. The result is a reset that will leave you feeling calm yet ready to take action steps towards claiming your own power back. Grateful for this human’s multifaceted work.”

“I met Johari through a friend and he is a wonderful trainer! Also, affordable so my goals weren’t so unreachable. He was encouraging, supportive, and we had great conversations. He’s super knowledgeable about his job and incorporated a spirituality portion I personally enjoyed. He was ok with meeting me super early and at my apartment gym and helped me feel more comfortable with the equipment. I would definitely recommend him as a trainer but also as any of his other offerings!!”

“Calm, empathetic energy that translates into a comfortable and insightful reading. Myself with a group of girlfriends got out reading done at Casa de Luz and were blown away by the accuracy. Will definitely go back for an individual reading”

“I was referred to Iron Lion Fitness & Holistic Healing for physical fitness coaching by my doctor (an MD also certified in holistic practices). For years, I had struggled with back issues and had spent so much $$ on chiropractors, physical therapy, books, and specialists. Each was a little helpful, but none seemed to address the ROOT of the problem. My doc said that Johari had worked wonders with another patient who had severe diastasis recti (ab separation) after childbirth… so I reached out. I shared my journey with Johari & started training 1:1. He was careful & extremely knowledgeable. For the FIRST TIME in my 7-year health saga, a professional could actually SEE & UNDERSTAND where my muscles were imbalanced - what was weak, what was overcompensating, where my motion was restricted and how I needed to build strength to stabilize my lower back and pelvis. Wow - what an unbelievable relief & blessing. He guided me to build balance & strength in my body again, from the foundation up. ALSO, I was on the cusp of turning 40. Ha! He told me that in Dominica, they know that women are just beginning to come into their true strength & self at this age. That was SUCH beautiful, needed reframe on aging.. Working out with Iron Lion is FUN! His easy-going, empathetic nature balances beautifully with @ss-kicking workouts. You’ll accomplish way more with Johari than you would on your own. I had individual fitness coaching for 9 months, and became stronger than I had ever been. I began to trust my body again. I also had ZERO back issues. Even the couple times my back felt vulnerable, my body was strong enough to correct itself before going out of alignment. I am forever thankful for Johari’s intuition, knowledge and awesome coaching. It changed what once was a scary trajectory for my body…. and I’ve had such a good time in the process! Now, Johari does small group fitness coaching in our neighborhood. It’s the best of all worlds for me - turn up some jams, hang with friends & neighbors, and workout together. His functional strength training workouts are always different, interesting and fun. It’s a blast to do with friends. I truly can’t recommend Iron Lion Fitness & Holistic Health or Johari enough for fitness or healing needs. If you’re thinking about it, try a couple sessions! Have a consultation! You’ll be thankful.”

“My friends and I had a reading with Johari and it was amazing. He was so calming and knowledgeable and was spot on with each of our readings. We greatly enjoyed our experience and would love to do more in the future.”

“My son has had the honor of working with Johari over the past 2-3 years. An excellent coach and trainer, we saw immediate and substantial improvements in my son’s game as well as his overall confidence level. We would absolutely recommend the Iron Lion team to anybody else that wants to connect their body and mind more seamlessly.”

“Johari with Iron Lion Fitness has been an amazing addition in my life. He has taught me so much about my body not only physically, also nutritionally and spiritually. He is dedicated to all encompassing holistic wellness. I cannot put into words the amount of gratitude I have for him. He also does a great job of encouraging me on my journey and we have a ton of interesting conversations! I feel so strong and my strength is growing exponentially!”

“My son has received weekly fitness tips and training on basketball with this company for almost two years now - the patience, persistence and resilience he is learning is immeasurable and such a benefit to his overall well-being! We are so grateful to have found Iron Lion Fitness!”

“Such a a breath of fresh air and healing experience to have a reading.”

“Iron Lion has helped myself and many other athletes get back to optimal performance with his personal training and healing abilities. He is a very insightful and a knowledgeable business man when it comes to holistic health. My favorite product is the sea moss! Thank you again!”

“Johari at Iron Lion Fitness is a gifted trainer and healer! I have benefited from my own physical training, herbs and mental health support, as has my 13yr old thru professional basketball coaching. As a physician, I have referred many patients — especially women— for physical training at all life stages. Gifted professional with and unique and diverse skill sets… highly recommend! —Amina Haji, MD, Family Medicine”
