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

“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.”

“I’ve been a client of Iron Lion Fitness and Holistic Healing for a little over one year. In the span of the year I’ve successfully lost 25 lbs and more importantly, maintained my healthy weight for the better half of the past year. Reiki, personal fitness, customized nutrition, and breathing exercises are among the various holistic methods implemented for my personal health plan. I look forward to continuing my wellness journey with Iron Lion Fitness and Holistic Healing and spreading the word to my friends and family. I am eternally grateful for Iron Lion Fitness and Holistic Healing for giving me hope and ensuring I was set up for long term health and wellness. I can confidently affirm that I’m no longer just surviving… I am thriving!!”

“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 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.”

“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!”
