What an incredible journey the last few years has been. After graduating college, and playing my last basketball game, I found myself in an interesting position. No practice, no supervision, and a license to eat anything I wanted. Only problem with that was I was no longer exercising like I had in the past, and before I knew it, I had added some serious weight. 

Not having a clue how to change my life for the better, I decided I needed help. I found a coach and gained a hands-on education on nutrition, and proper exercise training. With my coaches help, I was able to change my life and start back on the pathway to being healthy. Losing weight is one of the hardest things one can ever do, but I have achieved it. I've been able to lose 30 pounds, and keep it off.

There is no chance in this world that I could have done it on my own. This is why I love helping my clients. Being able to walk my clients through a journey I have already walked, helps me guide them to achieve their goals. 

We offer 12-16-24 week total body transformation programs. All programs are customized to your specific needs and goals, and include meal and workout plans. Please apply below to set up a 10 minute coaching call to help me understand what YOU need to achieve your fitness goals.

I want to give a short testimony of my experiences with Justin JC Collins (@jcofthefinest). I came across him on Instagram and I started reading a little bit more about him I felt in my heart that he could help me.  So I texted him and I asked him to help me because I wanted to lose weight. I tried on my own, but no success.

            He automatically responded to my text from day one.  He’s been behind me with every step that I take, he has been with me.  He started me off on exercising and my meal plans. By the way I took the 12 week program.  He said I can exercise a couple of days a week, but I chose 7 days a week for an hour a day. Sometime I would come home tired and I will look at my equipment and say "maybe not today."

     But I went on and pushed myself. If I had a problem, he was there for me. I didn't contact him that much because I was determined to do what I need to do. Anyway, weight started coming off to, but for some reason I didn't see the difference, but everybody else did; my family and my friends and people at work.  

     So I was determined to keep pushing. I had to laugh one day my nephew picked me up from work and I got in the car and he glanced over at me and he looked at me and said "what the hell I didn't realize you lost that much weight all I can do is laugh," he said "I'm proud of you." So my 12 weeks with him ended on last Sunday, but I'm not finished yet.  I'm going for 24 more weeks with him.   But I feel good, I love this man, he's a good person. If you're going to choose someone to help you with your weight loss, please choose Justin JC Collins, The Finest. I'm not finished yet, my journey is continuing. Like I said, I feel good.   As of today I have lost a total of 60.5 lbs.

My experience with JC

I’d like to start by saying that in all my life, I have never felt as great as I do now. I am in love with my new lifestyle, my body, and my mindset.
However, we all know it is not easy to lose weight, especially during these crazy times we are going through, but I wanted so bad to work on my body.
Last year I reached my limit, I was heavier than ever before, and then the pandemic started. At first I was relieved because I took the quarantine as an excuse to not workout or eat as much garbage food as I wanted to.
After a while, I realized how uncomfortable I was with my body, not even my pajamas were fitting anymore. I decided to take action, and started eating “better” according to my standards.
After a couple months, I was losing some weight, and my pajamas were fitting again but something I still didn’t feel happy.
One day while I was scrolling on Instagram I saw JC’s picture and clicked on it, and then I started watching his story: Truth Talk Thursday.
There was something in JC’s talk that immediately inspired me to go to the gym that day… but like all non-existing habits, I stop going after two days.
About a month later, going through my feed, I came across yet another JC’s Truth Talk Thursday video again, and that’s when I decided to reach out to him.
JC responded and asked me to set up some time to talk to him. During our conversation, JC told me something that I would never forget.
He said to me “real change doesn’t wait for anyone, and it requires immediate action”, he said this after I told him I wanted to wait until next month to start the program.
I don’t have to tell you that of course I didn’t wait until next month… and I thank myself everyday for that.

Once I started the program with JC, he helped me realized why I was approaching my plan to lose weight incorrectly… I had no plan. I didn’t really have a goal before, and I think this why most of us make mistakes when it comes to losing weight.
We started the program by coming up with the number of pounds I wanted to lose, and I decided that 20 lbs. would be ideal; JC asked me what I thought would be the ideal time so I said 6 months… He said, we will get it done in 3 months.
I didn’t believe losing so much weight so fast was possible, but JC did, and sure enough after three months I had lost 19 lbs.
What I love more about the program is the fact that I am now able to understand the difference between being healthy, and just losing weight. Anyone could lose weigh by eating less calories, but it doesn’t mean the person is healthy; skinny does not mean healthy.
I like the fact that I lost weight, but I love more the fact that now I’m in love with my body. I understand why my body is tired and the effects food have in the way I feel, and this is all thanks to JC.
I once read that in order to learn something new, we all need a teacher or an expert, because we don’t call a mechanic to ask him how to improve our health, right? Unless that mechanic also happens to be a doctor…
Anyway, JC was that teacher I needed, and learn a new way of living, because that is what his program did for me, a life lasting experience.
While in the program, I never felt judged or criticized by JC, even during those hard trying times when I just wanted to give up and order a pizza (and I did a couple of times).
JC was always there to remind me of my goal and the reason why I reached out to him in the first place. Changing my eating habits was probably the hardest part of the program, but I sweat I love my new eating habits. I don’t eat until I can’t move anymore, not even during the holidays, and I can’t remember the last time I was “hangry” (which it used to happened to me a lot).

Long story short, I am now a healthier, more active, and a happier person than I have ever been. I have noticed the difference in my body, and so have my friends, family, and most importantly my clothes.
I cannot thank JC enough for all the guidance he has provided; it felt amazing having someone like him believed in me.
I am and forever will be grateful for this program and JC.

Thanks,

Paul Magana

Hi I’m Steven from Orlando! For the last several years I had found it hard to lose and get down to my ideal weight below 180lbs. On August 10, 2020 I happened to be scrolling through instagram searching for fitness and nutrition tips and came across JC’s account. It told a very similar story to mine so I decided to inquire. Two weeks later on August 24th and weighing in at 195lbs, I began my journey to finally achieve what in the past felt like the impossible. JC provided me with a detailed meal plan and training plan for the gym along with at home workouts as well.


My biggest struggle was my discipline when it came to dieting. In my frame of work as a collegiate football and basketball referee I am traveling a good deal which made making the right decisions difficult. Usually after games it is late and most sit down restaurants are closed which leaves to fast food and bad decisions. It just so happened to be the right time to give this a shot as due to the pandemic as I wasn’t traveling as much and had more time on my hands to eat at home and eat the right things. I also had time to workout without feeling rushed.


Throughout the program, I kept track of my progress in the gym weekly. Seeing improvement week after week was a very satisfying feeling. Weekly checkins with JC showing progress pics and seeing the weight lower each week was definitely a key to success. On days where I wasn’t motivated, all I had to do was message JC and he would get my mind right. Not every week was perfect. There were weeks where I didn’t always follow my plan, or I had an additional cheat meal, but at the end of the day, the program guided me to success. I learned how to recover from a not so good day and keep myself on track.


Every week the weight dropped! 195 - 193 - 189 - 188 - 187 - 186 - 185 - 184 - 183 - 182 - 181 - 179! August 24th to November 16th, 16lbs down and attaining my goal that I had been attempting for many years. My body fat dropped 3%, I lost 3 inches off my waist, and my abs began showing again!


In conclusion, JC provided me with everything I needed to be successful to achieve my goal. His way of motivating, encouraging, and his passion for what he does goes above and beyond expectations. Although my program has come to an end, I now have the recipe for success and will continue to use these resources going forward.
