Join fitness coach Julio Santos-De Soto for practical, raw, and unfiltered conversations…
This podcast is for ambitious men who want an impressive physique without making fitness their entire life.
The son of two Dominican immigrants, Julio walked away from a six-figure corporate job just seven months after graduating from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
During college, he'd gained 40 pounds. By the time he entered corporate America, he was hovering around 230 pounds at 6'1", with body fat pushing past 30%.
Despite being successful on paper, he was far from the shape he wanted to be in and knew the path he was on would lead to more stress, declining health, and a future that wouldn't give him the time he wanted with his family.
So he quit.
Back home with his parents, feeling like a failure to launch, he returned to something he'd been passionate about since childhood. Fitness.
He became a personal trainer, eventually moving his coaching online.
Along the way, he completely transformed his own physique by focusing on the handful of habits that actually move the needle in building muscle and losing fat, without making fitness his entire life.
That philosophy eventually became The Bahkano Method, the same approach he and his team now use at Bahkano Aesthetics to help busy professionals transform their bodies.
Over the past six years, Julio and his team have helped over 400 clients go from average to impressive, including CEOs, executives, business owners, and professionals across dozens of industries. His clients include the former President and CEO of Wilson Sporting Goods, entrepreneur Michael Chu, author of The Dream Machine Dane Espegard, and DJ Jake Shore.
The Bahkano Method is built around a simple philosophy: Focus your limited time and energy on the 20% of habits responsible for the majority of your results.
Because you don't need to dedicate your entire life to fitness to build an impressive physique.
You just need to consistently execute on what actually matters.
Julio's mission is to help men look like they could compete in bodybuilding if they wanted to, without having to live the lifestyle of a competitive bodybuilder.
And that's exactly what this podcast is about.
Longer, deeper, unfiltered conversations about building muscle, losing fat, and developing the habits, discipline, and systems needed to stay in incredible shape while managing a demanding career and personal life.
After growing his TikTok from 0 to 215,000 followers in less than six months, Julio created this podcast to share the lessons, mistakes, and strategies that don't fit into a 60-second video.
Whether you're just getting started or you've been lifting for years but can't seem to get where you want to be, the goal is simple: Help you spend less time guessing and more time making progress.
