Stephen Cabral Studio

I have been working out with Josh Feinman for over four years. He is a fantastic trainer — attentive, current on new techniques and truly cares about my physical and overall well being. He regularly changes the workouts — to challenge me and keep our routines fresh. The other trainers there are equally nice — they know me by name and seem equally engaged and committed to their clients’ success.

If you are looking to really change and improve your body — Stephen Cabral Studio is the place to be. I have worked out here for over two years, and it’s been amazing. The trainers change your workouts regularly, you cross train with weights, kettlebells, TRX, body weight, etc., and all of the trainers are positive, knowledgeable & wonderful people. The biggest challenge is finding an opening with one of the trainers as it’s such a popular private studio.

My husband and I have made several attempts in contacting the studio and even went in and talked to two trainers. After many failed attempts and no call backs, we have given up on this place and can’t imagine how they get by with such poor customer service especially in a very tight knit community neighborhood. Since then we have found a great personal/​private trainer not part of a gym/​studio that is fantastic and half the price.

I’ve worked with various personal trainers for the better part of my twenties, and into my thirties. For the most part I was given cookie cutter routines that all seemed to mirror each other, and the results were never worth the money I spent. I don’t need a trainer to show me how to run on a treadmill. Then I met Julian at Stephen Cabral Studio. I was, and still am amazed. Julian shows me how to train my muscles and my mind. Using his vast knowledge, Julian has helped me change my diet to feed my body and muscles. I never knew anything about eating a paleo diet until I met him. Beyond that Julian’s work outs have completely changed my body. They are unique and unlike anything I have ever been exposed to. I have never worked out harder than I do with Julian, and the results are amazing. I also really enjoy the healthy lifestyle tips and suggestions that he posts online for all of his clients; makes incorporating healthy living into every day life that much easier. My only complaint is that I wasted so much time and money at big name gyms before finding Julian.

I met Julian a few years back. Within a few small conversations I was very impressed with his knowledge and enthusiasm about health. I have been in and out of the gym my whole adult life with not many results to speak of. Julian laid out a very simple almost too simple diet and workout plan for me. Not only did he tell me what to do but explained why these foods and exercises were beneficial and effective. Very professional attitude and atmosphere. Very involved and attentive. Stephan Cabral studios has changed my perspective on personal training and fitness. Not to mention a heathy diet. I have lost close to 30lbs of fat and am on the best shape of my life. These guys (especially Julian) know what they are talking about.

Just finished a 12 week program with the Stephen Cabral Studio. Coming to the Studio was the best decision I’ve made regarding my fitness in the past 10 years. They offer a free initial fitness consultation so you can go in and speak with them about your goals and they can tell you about what they offer, so you can decide if you want to pursue or not. It’s free to check it out. I admit, the program is a lot more expensive then I had hoped ($ 89/​session). But I figured my goals were worth the investment. I wanted to develop better and more effective routines for my gym workouts, so I can tone up my body. I needed the guidance as I was never an athlete and wasn’t very good when it came to my eating. I opted for a more specialized boutique studio instead of getting a (cheaper?) trainer at my Planet FItness gym. Less distraction, more attention. My trainer was Julian (a hottie. Note, they’re all hotties there so it helps to motivate me). He was AWESOME! I asked for a trainer who is encouraging, knowlegeable, patient, good sense of humor and gay friendly. (The hottness factor was just bonus motivation.) He put together a fitness plan for me, taking me through it step by step, helping with my form. He made sure I was comfortable with the exercise before doing it on my own in my regular gym. I did my trainings twice a week at the studio. The studio, by the way, located in the fashionable South End, is clean, bright, with a great assortment of equipment. There is never more then 3 other clients working out at one point, and the trainers work so well that your workout is NEVER interrupted. Trainings were intense but maximized the the time we had together. As part of the program, I was required to keep a Food Journal, which I submitted once a week to be reviewed. Julian pointed out where I could have made better food decisions and again, reminded me of my goals and why I should make those better decisions. Yes, I strayed, often, but Julian kept me focus (despite my love for Fruit Tarts). In the end, I lost significant body fat, increased lean muscle mass, and people noticed! I felt much better about my body when I look mirror. Did the program work? YES! Did I get a pretty comprehensive workout plan to continue on my own? YES! Would I go back? YES. I hope to go back in the Spring of 2011. Thank you Julian! and thank you to the Stephen Cabral STUDio!
