Jamil was born and raised in New York City and was compelled to learn various forms of self defense techniques such as Tae Kwando, Kung Fu, and Aikido.
In 1989 he joined the U.S. Army where he became obsessed with exercise and fitness. When he was stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado, he learned Sho Rin Rhu Karate and competed in Amateur Boxing snatching several medals in both skills.
In 1996 Jamil acquired his initial certifications at the YMCA in Bergen County, New Jersey. He obtained certifications in the principles of YMCA Health, Nutrition, and Strength Training. He assisted and developed a class for senior citizens called S.M.I.L.E. Seniors Moving in Light Exercise.
In 1997 Jamil acquired certification as a Wellness and Nutrition coach at the YMCA in Rappahannock, Virginia. Jamil trained group fitness classes for several health clubs and facilities as well as for corporate and community centers.
In 1999, Jamil was acquired to support a joint program as a sub-contracter with YMCA and Jenny Craig Weight Loss Centers which facilitated his love for weight management and nutritional counseling for clients.
In 2006 while deployed in Iraq, Jamil was approached about instructing a fitness class for the Air Force and Army troops. The class attracted male and females that desired a challenge out of the ordinary mundane "go to the gym and lift routines." The class grew to a point where the fitness coordinator requested that the class be held two days a week.
In 2007 Jamil obtained my certification as a Body Building Instructor through the IFPA, International Fitness Professionals Association. In April 2009, Jamil acquired and became a Certified Group Exercise Leader at the renowned Cooper Fitness Institute.
