YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

2005

"Workouts with Yousof were never boring. In addition to dropping my unwanted belly fat, I also added a lot of muscle and definition. Training with Yousof helped me gain confidence not only in my appearance, but also in my abilities to do more, push harder, and be my best self."

2010

"I've been "boot camping" with Yousof for five years. I had finished cancer treatment and needed to get back in shape; Yousof helped me do that, and drop 20 pounds as well. I was afraid that classes like this were for 20-somethings, not 50-somethings like me, but he always takes into account any limitations or injuries you might have, gives you variations on the exercises, and encourages you to do your best."

~Andrea H.

2014

"Since I started training with Yousof approx. 15 months ago, I have seen significant changes in my body. I lost weight, went down 2-3 dress sizes and discovered new muscles – many of which I had never seen before. Soon after, those changes extended to an increase in my self-confidence and pride for what I could accomplish with a little help."

"Yousof is funny and keeps us entertained making me forget sometimes that I am even working out. He makes the class fun. He is clear in direction and I like that he makes us feel like we have a say in what happens next in our workout."

2022

"I have been attending Yousof Faryar’s morning Bootcamp classes through Refresh Yoga studio in Old Town Alexandria, VA since July 2015, after a several-year search for a good strength training routine. Being a triathlete, cyclists and long-distance runner, I desperately needed a strength training program that concentrated on improving core and mobility strength while still being an endurance workout. I was immediately convinced, when I found Yousof’s classes, that I had found the answer to help support my other endurance activities."
