Dustin is one of the trainers that you will never get bored off .His classes are very challenging, fun and always different. He makes sure that he will built you up a custum plan for your needs and will mentor you to get the best results.
The people in his class are like one big family that you always want return to. There are a lot of fun activities for the group as breathing classes by the beach, hiking, fun lunches and other.
It’s easy to exercise while you are having a blast.
Dustin is true inspiration to others and have accomplished a lot in his life.
I would highly recommend his class to anybody in any psychical shape. You feel great, make new friends and shape your body.

I recently started Bands & Body and I'm loving it! Dustin is very fun and creates workouts based on exactly what you need to work on. He's great at customizing movements on the spot as well, if a movement just isn't working right for you. I appreciate how much he keeps in constant contact, to motivate and help you stay on track. Bands & Body has been the most effective and quick weight loss program I've ever tried.

Dustin Conrad is one of the best trainers that I have ever had. His classes are a combination of fun, hard workout and sweat. Most important of all he has a special talent in combining the movements in a way that you do not get tired or bored after one hour of training. He knows how to shock your muscles without taking the fun out of it. I recommend him and his Bands and Body class to anyone who wants to have a caring and skillful coach.

I'm loving B&B Fitness w/ Dustin-
Dustin (and Cesare) are encouraging, inspiring, experienced and just too nice to be kickin' my arse so early in the morning. Dustin reaches out every other day if not everyday for any questions and keeping me on track. We warm up, get some private training and then group dance with the bands, ok, it's not really dancing but it's fun and the different movements, core and balance moves are good for my brain exercises, really! I thought they looked dumb, but they aren't- low impact, high energy and my abs and arms are changing. I love they way he modifies everything for my injuries (neck and shoulder) and is always UPBEAT and fun. Love you guys.

I dropped into a class to get a feel for it this evening. It was definitely an aerobics with resistance challenge. What was nice, being a noobie, was how customizable the exercises were. For some of the faster combinations you could simple slow it down on the count or just focus on half the combo. You could also alter the level of challenge with changing the resistance band. My favorite part was the ab workout at the end. That seven minutes had my abs really engaged and they felt worked!

Dustin was a very nice and motivating trainer. You can tell he is very proud of his product which is great to see! The fellow classmates were excited to be there and were very friendly.

Finally...it’s at the beach!!! How awesome is that!

Dustin is a great trainer. He customizes a program for your personal needs. Lets you work at your own pace but encourages and motivates you to want to you push a little harder for an optimum work out.
He offers many different avenues for support and training. Well worth the money.

It is almost impossible to adequately describe Bands and Body. It is an enormously effective fitness program that encompasses far more than exercise.
To say it is a complete program understates the "whole body-mind-spirit" approach and the support one is given.
First the modality itself which is like nothing I have ever done in a lifetime of various gyms, trainings and disciplines. The use of customized resistance bands (3 levels of increased resistance) and the innovative choreography works every part of the body. Strength, flexibility, weight loss, toning, increased muscle and cardio in one fun, focused workout...and to a great playlist!
Breathwork is a supplementary class that encourages breathing for mental and physical health
Nutritional guidance, expert diet analysis, the science of hydration and availability of plant based protein shakes add to mastery over one's health, weight loss and discipline.
The program itself is a well-oiled machine of fun, applied effort, self-challenge and enormous encouragement . Exercises and series are switched up continually for maximum efficacy and keeps things fresh.
The truly valuable aspect is the incredible supportive atmosphere. Accountability and daily postings are the foundation of this support. You genuinely care that those in your program succeed and know that it's mutual. The entire class is so supportive and I've made lasting friendships .
There are so many special events, the aforementioned Breathwork, to GLOW, the glow in dark events that are a rave sans the drugs and plus the fitness. Charities, local and national benefit from B&B's spirit of philanthropy.
I came to this class after a severe injury and genuinely feel it saved my life, gave me back my life and added so much and so many to my life.
I cannot post this review without addressing it's creator, founder, owner, chief trainer and all around fitness wonder, Dustin Conrad. He is truly the heart and soul of this fanfreakingtastic, "create your best body" program.
If you want to look fabulous, feel fabulous, live longer, better, thinner, happier and do all that affordably while basking in Pacific Ocean views...it's Bands and Body!!!

Great resistence workout with energetic trainer who genuinely wants you to achieve your goals. Highly recommend to anyone who wants low impact workouts that can be customized to be high to medium intensity. Loss of body fat and inches when you combine the workouts with a balanced diet.
