We Built Something Different.
Not a gym. Not a franchise. A boutique personal training studio built on the belief that you deserve a coach who actually knows your name.
I didn't open a gym to build a business. I opened it because the industry was failing the people who needed it most.
I'm a W.I.T.S. Certified Personal Trainer and a WNBF All Natural Pro Physique Competitor. Specializing in sculpting physiques and optimizing individuals' minds, bodies, and overall life. I am a mindset coach that builds confidence, delivering empowerment while increasing strength, functionality, and mobility while being pain free! Creating a happier, healthier lifestyle, to live long & strong. Dreams will be achieved!

I watched person after person join gyms filled with hope, and leave weeks or months later feeling like failures. Not because they lacked discipline — but because the system never cared about them as individuals. They were revenue, not relationships.
I started JMB because I believed something different was possible. A place where adults who had tried everything could finally try something that actually worked — not because the programming was magic, but because the relationship was real.
Ten years later, we've trained hundreds of adults across Fairport, Perinton, Pittsford, and Rochester. Our newest member was 67 when she walked in saying she'd never exercised a day in her life. Within six months, she was doing things she never imagined possible.
That's the JMB story. Not a flashy brand. Not a fitness trend. Just real people, real coaches, and a commitment that outlasts every excuse.

Joining Mind & Body: A Path to Being Whole
"Sustainable transformation only happens when the physical work and the mental work happen together."
In his debut book, Coach Joshua Bankes breaks down the philosophy that has helped hundreds of adults in Fairport, NY reclaim their health.
