I have been training with Next Level Fitness for a week now and already I am seeing major results. Next Level specializes in small group training sessions and one-on-one training. Each session consists of 2-5 people which offers a lot of one-on-one attention. Abu, the trainer offers a new and challenging 60 minute workout daily- every day is a surprise.

The training environment is supportive yet tough- I always leave out of breath and drenched in sweat. I have a gym membership but prefer to come here for the guided training, challenge, and extra push I don't seem to give myself.

Abu is a knowledgeable, caring, and challenging trainer. I wish I would have started here sooner- I would have got my results faster. I lost 5lbs in 6 group training sessions. Imagine what a month will do?

Have been working with Abu 1on1 as an executive fitness trainer for 6 months now and he is the best by far - so much more knowledgeable than regular gym instructors. My workouts are intense and targeted to my needs. I like that Abu is efficient in his training to get maximum results. He takes measurements, sets goals and uses a stop watch. You literally see your body and times changing in front of your eyes.

I would say I'm basically lazy but love working out here because I'm seeing the results, with varied workouts, focused effort and a supportive, encouraging coach. I would concur with all the other 5 star reviews. If you want a high quality trainer, this is the best money you will ever spend.
