In August 2021, Jimmil fulfilled a dream and opened up his own fitness studio in Prince William County.

Like many, as the Covid-19 Pandemic showed it would be here to stay for a while, Jimmil found he had to pivot and find unique ways to still offer fitness to people. Jimmil began offering virtual workouts and training groups outside while remaining socially distanced. Feeling the need to help people focus on not just physical enhancements but to understand the role that their mind played in their physical, Jimmil struggled with his deep desire to do more to help people change their lives.

Having worked in a variety of gyms and other facilities, Jimmil was tired of the restraints that working in these establishments created and when an opportunity became available for him to open up his own studio, he felt he couldn’t pass this up. Pursuing this dream, however, did not come without sacrifice. Converting a garage into a studio took a lot of money and time, and Jimmil had to go without just to pour into his dream. Jimmil also had a new baby on the way, which kept him driven to keep pushing so that he could continue his desire to pass on a legacy to his kids.

On August 21st, his hard work paid off, and the doors opened to Physique Elite and his new baby was born, arriving safe and sound the same day!

Jimmil says that this space is a place for the misfits! Physique Elite is open to other trainers that feel like they don’t fit in at mainstream fitness facilities because of the challenges that come from working in these places and trying to offer meaningful service to clients. But even more important than that, Jimmil shared that having grown up as he states, “the fat kid”, being biracial and feeling like he didn’t fit in, and going through other emotional challenges, he understands what it feels like to need a safe place to feel seen, heard, and accepted. The “misfits” have a safe space to heal and work through their trauma physically at Physique Elite.

Jimmil has big plans for Physique Elite. He is working on his dream to open up a Special Needs camp and also will soon provide YouTube sessions for the community. Jimmil is also planning to do more speaking in the community about how the mind drives the physical body and how any weight goals start with your mental.
