Aureus King
Auréus King
Born and bred in Brooklyn. I started working at Vitamin Shoppe in Manhattan. I soon became fascinated by the health & wellness industry. Customers would ask me for fitness advice which inspired me to consider it as career, it seemed to be my thing. Months later I applied to New York Sports Club in 2010. From there I went on to create Above the Bar Fitness, a business more aligned with my values and desires for entrepreneurship. I strongly believe in Plato's adage, "Attention to health is life's greatest hindrance." I try my best to try and inspire clients to live and breath this sentiment.
"We all put thought into the cars we drive, the clothes we wear, the events we go to, and the jobs we choose. We rarely put thought into the food we consume and researching the best ways to take our bodies, minds, and performance to maximum levels. Most people live and die without ever knowing what it's like to reach the apex of fitness."

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY!
Jack Cohen
"I have had other Personal Trainers before and it's rare to find someone as dedicated to one's personal goals as Jarrel. He is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy and can always think about an appropriate new exercise for any given situation/need."
Jenna Carpenter
"I've been working with Above The Bar Fitness for 2 months now and can already see and feel improvements in my strength, endurance and physique. Jarrel is a fantastic motivator and does a great job coaching me to reach my goals."
David Moyes
"Jarrel is a fantastic personal trainer. Whether you're out of shape and nervous about working out, or an athlete who wants to take it to the next level, Jarrel is your man. Jarrel is a knowledgable trainer who works closely with your needs and careful adapts the intensity of the work out to your level. He's not a shouter, but he's a good motivator with a warm personality and good humor. The gym is probably the centre of the training, but we've also been jogging, played basketball, working out in the park or at home. We've even been rock climbing on occasion. For me the variety helps keep things interesting and that motivates me to work out. Over the past three years my fitness has improved markedly with Jarrel. I'm stronger, have better cardio, lost some fat and gained better muscle definition. Mostly importantly I'm more confident in my body. He's extremely punctual, reliable, and works around your schedule and location. Early mornings before work? No problem. Weekends in the park or at home also no problem. If you're looking for a personal trainer I would recommend Jarrel in the highest possible terms."
Kimberly G.
"Finding a personal trainer who is not only professional, but is also SUPER flexible is pretty hard to find, especially when you're a college student with a part-time job. As a trainer, Jarrel was able to meet my personal goals and continues to motivate me since I made a switch to a healthy lifestyle. When I first started training with him, I was 155 pounds and truly unhappy with my weight and eating habits. Now, I am a healthy 145 pounds and I am truly embracing this new lifestyle! He always keep me on track, especially when I feel like giving up. He has truly impacted not only my health, but my well-being. I am extremely pleased to have Jarrel as my personal trainer!"
John L.
"After my broken leg mended from a kayaking injury, it was very weak. So I hired Jarrel to help me strengthen it without causing any further stress or damage to it. His methodical and patient training helped the post-rehab process. We gradually worked out until my leg rebounded beyond its former strength. His encouragement and well planned activities helped me regain the confidence I needed to succeed. Jarrel is still my personal trainer because of his professional dedication and congenial personality. I would highly recommend Above The Bar Fitness for post-rehab training of any sports injury and/or to enhance your personal physical ability."
Bella J.
"Jarrel was very attentive during our sessions, paying attention to every single detail of my form and technique. He kept me motivated and maintained constant communication to ensure I stayed in alignment with my goals, never letting me give up on myself for one second."
Ernest Gottschalk
"A+ Experience. Knows all the ins and outs of how to keep you moving and motivated at all times. Whether it was banter to get me through the last 30 seconds of that plank or checking in with me during the week to make sure I stayed on my diet it was obvious that I was a priority."
