Jemil has been fantastic. He checks in consistently and provides great workouts where I'm always learning something new. I've already lost weight and gained noticeable muscle. Highly recommended! read more

I trained with Jemil for about 4.5 months and had a really great experience. He helped keep me consistent and gave me great advice and offered a lot of education on why sticking to a meal plan is important. What I liked most was how he actually explained what we were doing and why, like how certain workouts target specific muscles and how that ties into your goals. I felt like it wasn't just working out, I was learning at the same time. If you want a trainer who knows what he's doing and actually cares about your progress, I'd definitely recommend Jemil. read more

There comes a point when you stop talking about getting in shape and actually take action. For me, that moment came in September when I realized my slim-thick frame had gone more toward "thick" and tight fitting clothes due to poor eating habits and minimal exercise. I knew it was time for a change. After researching personal trainers in Long Beach, I found Jemil Davis. What stood out to me wasn't just his focus on physical training but his emphasis on nutrition. For someone like me, who loves food but struggles with making healthier choices consistently, this was a game changer. Jemil didn't just give me workouts; he educated me on how proper nutrition can help me transform my body. I learned how to optimize my intake of protein, carbs, fats, and water to fuel my progress. The knowledge he shared about improving my diet--without making it feel too restrictive--was eye-opening. The results speak for themselves. In just three months, I've lost 2% body fat and gained 5 pounds of muscle. My strength and mobility have improved dramatically: - I can now break 90° on my squats, something I couldn't do before. - I'm squatting 50-60 pounds, compared to barely managing an empty barbell at the start. - I can deadlift 105 pounds for reps--and still live to tell the tale! - My overhead press has doubled, going from 20 pounds to 40 pounds. Beyond the numbers, the biggest change has been my mindset. Jemil taught me how to track my food intake and make better choices, giving me the tools to live a healthier, more balanced life. If you're serious about making a change, want someone who will guide you every step of the way, and hold you accountable, I highly recommend Jemil. read more

I worked with Jemil for over six months and couldn't be happier about the results. I had gained 10 pounds of muscle at the end and achieved my goal. I did three sessions a week since I wanted to hit the ground running and achieve my goals faster. Jemil is really focused and makes the workout sessions fun and feels like working out with a friend. He's really good at listening and adapting a custom workout for exactly what you want, whether it's to gain muscle, lose weight or look toned. He will push you pass your limits and you'll be surprised what your maximum capacity is with a trainer like him. I highly recommend hiring him to be your personal trainer! read more

Out of all the trainers I have trained with, Jemil has been the best and a great mentor. He cares and checks in if my eating is off par or not logged. He knows what he's doing and does care about his clients. Even when an exercise is hated, he's always cheering you along telling you, "it's good for you." read more

I've always tried to be active but has always been afraid to hit lower body days. Jemil has helped me build confidence especially when doing legs. I still remember the first day I squatted with a barbell. I was so scared, but Jemil paid attention to my form, my nutrition, and my overall lifestyle to achieve what I wanted. Thanks, Jemil! read more

I worked with Jemil for 5 months after not working out for an entire year due to a disability. I could barely balance and had dizziness issues. Jemil was very understanding and generous and created an entire system to help me get back on my feet and back into the gym. But not only is he a great trainer, he is a great nutritionist and life coach. I learned so much from Jemil that I have never learned from working with any other trainer or training program in my life. He keeps it simple to understand and creates challenges that help you improve week by week while also being realistic about what to look forward to with your results. The main thing that Jemil taught me was having PERFECT form and how important it is. I have been doing many workouts wrong throughout my life and by him showing you simple tweaks, it gives huge results. I noticed changes so quickly physically and mentally and have also healed my disability. I gained almost 10 pounds of muscle working with Jemil over the 5 months and now that I have been working out alone, taking everything that he has taught me, I am starting to shed off body fat percentage on my own while sticking to his system. His training methods with stick with you long after. Jemil provided me exactly what I needed to get my life back together. If i ever have the desire to start training with someone again, it will definitely be Jemil. read more

I trained with Jemil for 6 months prior to that never stepped foot in the gym before. After doing research and reading reviews, I came across Jemil and scheduled a consultation to see what I was getting myself into. After meeting with Jemil and we spoke about my goals, it seemed evident that we were both on the same page about nutrition, building muscle, putting on weight and staying lean. My initial plan was to train with him for a couple months but that ended up turning into 6 months due to his motivation and knowledge. I was able to gain 20 lbs build muscle while staying lean. What I gained out of this experience was confidence not only in myself but navigating through the gym. I still use his online training till this day. I would highly recommend using Jemil due to his knowledge and nutrition advice to meet any goals. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO CHANGE. I started working with Jemil in Oct 2022 and have seen CONSISTENT results thus far. Jemil is very knowledgeable when it comes to diet structure, resistance training, and physiology. The knowledge and training does not end once your workouts are over. Jemil is fantastic about taking calls and texts if you have questions about any aspect of your workout plan / diet, etc. Jemil also is experienced with the how the human body work, so he is able to provide recommendations or explanations, if you ever feel aches and pains. As cliché as it may sound, you will get the results you deserve. Jemil provides great resources and tools for you to succeed, as long as you put in the effort. read more

When looking for a trainer, I look for the balance of pushing me but at the same time knowing limits. I had awesome results and he had me on a meal plan that worked BUT it also takes discipline and consistency. read more

I was highly recommended to train with Jemil by my best friend. Jemil is vastly knowledgeable and very passionate in his field. He is very keen on clarification of information from nutrition to exercise. Each session with him is an opportunity to learn. You walk away with valuable knowledge that you can utilize even after you finish his program. You can ask him a million questions and he will gladly take the time to educate you. He emphasizes on executing form and technique to help prevent injuries as well as reaping the benefits of each exercise. He also teaches you supplemental exercises, stretching, and rolling out muscles to help strengthen weaknesses and and prevent injuries. In our hour long consultation, he assessed my full background from medical and family history, eating habits, level of activity, level of stress, and history of/current physical injuries. We also discussed my expectations from his program from my short to long term goals. He goes over what his program encompasses and incorporates customized meal plans and exercise regimen to meet my goals which is to lose a healthy amount of weight, improve my high blood pressure, reverse diabetes, work on my current knee injury, and learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. Jemil has exceeded beyond my expectations. I learned how to eat well and I'm not left feeling hungry. I have increased in strength and continue to gradually lose weight in a healthy way. In the first 3 months, I was able to heal properly from my knee injury. My blood pressure and diabetes are well controlled and I am tapering off my medications as my body is responding very well to healthy eating and exercising. My goal is to be completely off medications and rely on a healthy lifestyle to keep my diseases in control. I am very happy to say that everyone has noticed a big change in my health and appearance. I can fit into smaller sized clothes, fit into a rollercoaster seat, and a rock-climbing harness. I am able to tolerate my adventurous life of backpacking, hiking, rock-climbing, acrobatic and water sports, and more. I still have more to work on but still going on strong! As someone who works in the health care field, Jemil takes a unique approach to his methods. He goes above and beyond to educate a healthy lifestyle. I cannot say that there is not many like Jemil in his field so I highly recommend you check him out. I have friends who watched my journey to a healthy lifestyle and have been inspired to do what I do. They are currently training with him so you should, too! Also check out his Youtube channel and Instagram. He posts many informative videos for everyone. If there is anything valuable you should take away from my review is to invest time, money, and dedication in building a better you. Take it from me, watching my family and my patients spend thousands and thousands of dollars on lifetime of medications, treatments, multiple surgeries, and many hospitalizations is no where near how much you could spend in preventative measures to get healthy now. Think of how much more you'll save on money but more importantly, your own health and happiness. Not only is Jemil very knowledgeable in the matters of health & fitness, he stresses the importance of "mind over matter". Making healthy lifestyle changes and being CONSISTENT everyday could have its hard days. It's in those hard days he pushes you to keep going. He helps remind you to remember WHY and what you are doing this for. read more

I have been training with Jemil for long time now and still counting. Why? Because im very satisfied on how he's training me that other trainer can't do. I am more on quality not quantity and he is giving me that high quality training. Other trainers may choose the fastest way for you to see result and never showed you the right way but Jemil will show you step by step. If you do it wrong he will correct you so it'll be easy to lift and to avoid injuries. And he is very knowledgeable and patient. Highly recommended! read more

Jemil is a class act! As an online couch, I could not have hoped for anything better. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft and it shows. He goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need in your program to succeed. His "No BS" approach makes it clear what he expects from you and what you can expect from him. If you put in the effort, he can absolutely get you where you want to go. Jemil is very attentive and makes himself available to you for any of your questions and concerns. He has a keen eye to help you when you need form/posture correction, mobility adjustments, and strengthening support areas to keep you safe as you chase your fitness goals. He truly cares about the client relationships he builds and invests in your success. Through my training journey with Jemil, he helped turn weaknesses into strengths and improved my physique, performance, and confidence! For example, I went from not being comfortable under the bar doing squats at all to squatting over 300lbs! His programs not only help in the gym but develops an improved lifestyle. His coaching has helped me not only in the gym but strengthened myself in many other aspects of life. Jemil is intelligent and driven and channels that into his programs. If you're ready to work, hire him! Success is never owned, only rented... and RENT IS DUE! read more

I started my gym journey late in life and have been training with Jemil for a while. He has really helped me lose weight by training but especially with his meal plan designed specifically for me! I was eating fast food meals with soda at least once a day and since training with him, I only drink soda once-twice a year! I have completely changed my way of eating due to him. I like that the gym he trains out of (Self Made Training Facility) is very clean and not overly crowded. He is constantly watching for correct form when performing exercises to avoid any injuries and I really believe that separates Jemil from the other trainers. His training has been even more instrumental to me as he is helping me rehabilitate my partially torn ACL and has adjusted my work out regimen to accommodate my recovery. He has an incredible foundation of knowledge of training and of the human body and really wants his clients to succeed. 10 out of 10 recommend! read more
