The best thing about Nick is his personality. He's kind and encouraging. If you don't know how to work out, he will do a great job teaching you. You can ask him about different muscle groups, he's very knowledgeable about how the muscles work together and will find the best physical routines for you. Overall he's very laid back and yet this demeanor belies a very punctual, professional, and caring person. He's passionate about his work. He lives and breathes this. My failures with Nick came not through the workouts but through nutrition. I worked hard with him, and then I went home and didn't meet our nutrition goals to support it. I wasn't getting enough glycogen to replenish my expenditure. I didn't appreciate the gravity of this. I was working out and getting little results because of nutrition. He told me as much, but he kept it simple. "You're not getting enough carbs. You need to eat." I only wish he had slapped me and said either 'We're changing your goals' or 'We need to sit down and talk nutrition,' so that we could talk about things like glycogen expenditure, how our bodies metabolize carbohydrates, fat, and protein and how that affects my requirements for our workouts. I've only discovered this recently, I didn't know to ask. I never thought about it. He asked me if I wanted to change my goals at one point, and I said no. So I can't fault him for our approach. But if I were to do this again I would make my goals less ambitious. I would recommend you think hard about what you really want to get out of this. Because he will do everything in his power to get you to your stated goal! He's not going to play guessing games with you about your goals. If you're clear on that going in, I think Nick is a great guy and will help you achieve those goals that might seem unobtainable on your own.

We are so grateful to Nick for re-introducing our 15-year-old son to the benefits of exercise after a long period of inactivity due to anxiety and depression. I cannot imagine another trainer, let alone many other humans, who could have shown our child more patience, gentle tenacity, kindness, sheer enthusiasm, and immediate comprehension of how to navigate an extremely tenuous initiation. The idea of working out with a personal trainer can be intimidating, and the effort it takes to cajole a teenager to even try it can be even more so. At our first visit to the gym to meet Nick, our son would not get out of the car because he was having a panic attack. My husband went in first to explain the situation, and came out to the parking lot after about 10 minutes saying that Nick was perhaps the nicest person he had ever met. He described Nick's constant smile and super-positive energy, which let him know immediately that he was genuinely welcoming and friendly. I went in after a few more minutes to say that our son was not able to come in that night, but was willing to try another night. Nick suggested the next night, so as to not lose the momentum of the idea, and he also asked if our son would text with him. Our son agreed, and for the next 30 minutes, I sat inside with Nick and learned the basics of his training program while they texted. I recognized Nick's pure heart in that moment -- every time my son sent a text from the car, Nick's face would light up, his smile got even bigger, and he exclaimed repeatedly how totally awesome each interaction was. It was a genius idea because between that interaction and his parents telling him how genuinely kind and cool this trainer/certified nutritionist/surfer dude/very fit and experienced guy was, he showed up the next night (after another epic battle to get in the car) with his dog in tow (because you can bring your dog if they are OK with the crates provided by the doorway) and he and Nick greeted each other in person, inside the gym, and got started on an hour-long workout. The dog and I went outside to wait in the car. One more sweet detail about that first in-person interaction -- I could see that Nick was super-aware of the fragility of the situation, and yet forged ahead like we all hadn't just sat there for an hour the night before, debating if this could even work. After the hour was up, my son came out and I quadruple-checked if he liked it before I signed him up for a multi-month cost-saving package twice a week. Without hesitation, he said yes. Nick is awesome he said, and he totally liked it. I was happily stunned, because my teenager 1) actually liked doing a physical activity and 2) was engaging in a "normal" activity after the long netherworld of Covid. (Nick and the gym seem to be very careful about Covid precautions.) It actually seemed too good to be true, as we had tried everything from club volleyball to forced family walks to buying a rowing machine to no avail. Three weeks later, we haven't missed a session and my son looks forward to seeing Nick twice a week. He seems to feel proud of his effort, and I totally credit Nick with being the exceptional conduit to reconnecting our son with the benefits of physical movement and cultivating strength and fitness. Thank you, Nick, for being such a positive mentor and not giving up on us.

Nick has been an excellent coach that I highly recommend. He taught me how to achieve the results I want. I addition to the training he also helps with the nutritional plan. Another great thing is that he is the only personal trainer that I have seen so far who keeps track on all the reps and weight used during a session. I found this really helpful to keep me motivated. At some point during my training, my medical condition changed and Nick was adaptable and flexible. He even made research by himself to make sure that he would train me properly and totally adapted his training. He was super available if I had any questions/concerns and I found him very committed to his clients. To finish, Nick is super knowledgeable and very nice. I am completely satisfied by the training I got and the results I have achieved.

I’ve tried it all; weight watchers, fasting, working out on my own, and using other “personal trainers”. Noticed how I put quotations around personal trainers? The personal trainers I used in the past never payed attention to my form during workouts, never really spotted me during difficult weight training, didn’t explain what muscles were being used during certain workouts, and worst of all they were constantly on their phone. Nick is a LEGIT personal trainer. If you’re the type of person who needs the extra support in your fitness journey then Nick is the one for you. From nutrition to exercise Nick is right there beside you every step of the way. I can always count on Nick to ensure I workout correctly and safely and most of all he pays attention and offers tremendous amount of motivation. Nick has been able to sense (without me saying too much) that I feel discouraged during workouts and on numerous occasions Nick has given me the best pep talks to get me back on track. Nick is extremely laid back and is always smiling with a positive attitude no matter what. I HATED any type of exercise before meeting Nick, now I’m so excited to get into the gym and set PRs (personal records). I’ve worked with Nick for only 7 weeks and I’m already seeing amazing results. At my first weigh in (the four week mark) I lost a total of 4 inches off my waist and lost a total of 12 pounds!!! I’m so happy to have found Nick because I’m so excited to continue to develop this new lifestyle with his help.

Short version - You won’t regret it! This guy is super easy going BUT when it comes to your goals, he’s on it! He will guide you and give you the tools to reach whatever goal you’re trying to achieve. Long version - Nick is overall a cool and happy guy - Do not mistake kindness for weakness though. This guy is RESULTS DRIVEN! Whatever your goal is, he will tell you from the get go what you need to do and break it down in a simple, comprehensive form. He will share what he knows about fitness and nutrition and explain things in a digestible matter and whatever doubt or question you have, he will answer. He constantly monitors your progress. This has helped me not only for Nick to adjust my nutrition and/or training to fit my goals but also for my personal motivation to know that what I’m doing is actually working and motivates me to keep doing what I’m doing. I usually don’t write long reviews but with one person that reads this and takes a chance to better their life, it’s worth it. After reading a ton of comments on a bunch of trainers, one comment made me choose Nick and I’m very happy I stumbled upon that comment. For me it started as a “I want to look good”, but it turned into that accountability factor, having a little more discipline, self motivation, actually looking forward to train and exercise.. overall, it became something greater that I didn’t expect. I am well on my way to getting in the best shape I’ve ever been in, but whatever the reason is that you are here reading this comment, definitely consider giving it a try and if Nick is your guy that’s awesome, but take the leap of faith, it’s worth it! P.S. He NEVER looks at his phone when he’s training or talking with you. This was super important to me because I’ve had trainers that will “let you do your thing” while they’re distracted with something else.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing varies depending on what program you get and also how many days a week you plan on training. I do 1/2 sessions as well as full hour sessions. There will always be plenty of options to choose from and i am always willing to work things out with people to make sure it fits in their budget. The bigger the program you decide on the cheaper it gets per session. Discounts start at twice a week. I do month-month programs so that way you don't need to get locked into any kind of big contract or anything. I also do package deals for 3 months and 6 months which are cheaper per session as well. I am also able to do bi-weekly billing to make it easier if needed. Sessions start as cheap as $35.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
With a every new potential client i do a free 1-hour health and fitness consultation. Within this 1 hour session we will sit down talk all about your goals, where you want to be and talk about how long it will take and the process needed to obtain these goals. We will talk all about your nutrition and your current workout routines. We will also be doing some body measurements to get a good baseline of where your at now (weight, body fat % and circumference measurements) this way we can make sure we see quantifiable changes to your body month by month. Then we will go through a short little workout so that i can see whats strong, whats weak, whats overactive or under-active, whether there is stability, mobility or flexibility issues and then i will recommend you a program that is the best fit for you. From there nothing left to do but to schedule your first session and get you started towards your goals !
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
AFPA personal trainer certification NCSF personal trainer certification CPR & First Aid certified 12 years of personal training experience 17 years of consistent fitness training for myself
