Good Time Fitness

I have been training with Nate for 6 months. I was trying to prepare for my 4 day 3 night hike along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in July. That would be my first ever hike. I knew nothing about strength training when I just started. Nate taught me how to do squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses correctly. I really like his approach of progressive overload. It is great to see myself getting stronger week by week.The Inca Trail has a lot of ups and downs. Even though I was among the slowest in my group, I was able to handle the steep steps. After the hike, I had no muscle sore nor keen pain. The training really paid off.Nate is a great person to work with. He is always on time and very patient. I highly recommend Nate.

I am very pleased to work with Nate on my weight training. Nate is a nice guy always with smile. I enjoyed talking with him on both training related stuffs as well as random topics. He makes ambitious but attainable goals for me, step by step. Over 1 and half months my weight pounds almost doubles. I feel pressure but still not very hard to get progresses. This shows his expertise for the training. Nate is also helpful and willing to answer all kinds of questions. I made progress with him and am very happy. Strongly recommended.

I personally like him really much, not only his personality, but his scientific and professional way of fitness. Really effective, no flattery words. I trained with him constantly for nearly a year and I definitely think his training was one of main causes for the lost 20 lbs. I won't say much good words because if you don't seriously get engaged, then there is nothing you can achieve or expect.

Nate is great. Its as simple as that. He is extremely professional, punctual and great to hang around with. His philosophy is simple - the way you build muscle is by progressive overload of weights over time, which has to be supplemented by a good diet. He was able to understand my goals and execute on them well. I have been reading on a lot of training programs to build muscle and I've found that whatever Nate does suggest in his training resonates with the recommended practices. So he definitely knows what works and what doesnt. He's knowledgeable about the correct forms/postures of exercises which is of paramount importance as you're lifting higher weights. I spent around 30 sessions with him and I would definitely recommend him as a trainer for someone who is looking to really understand the science behind weight lifting and expecting to see results. He has some big ambitions with his career ahead and Im sure he will achieve them with the discipline and commitment he has shown not only to me, but several of his other clients.

Nate is a great trainer. He's encouraging and gets you motivated to make the most of your workout.

Nate takes the time to understand your fitness goals and tailors workouts as applicable. He makes working out more enjoyable!

I worked out with Nate four months. I had concerns about injuries caused by heavy lifting, and he taught me the right pose for squat, deadlift, bench press, and shoulder press. Before meeting him, my max. weight for heavy lifting has been plateaued for a couple of months. However, since working out with him, I could be able to lift more. For example, my max. squat increased from 185lbs to 220lbs; since I am confident that I won't be hurt, I could be able to try harder and harder.

I joined Nate and Charith's Seattle-Belltown gym (Transform 180), with a primarily goal of strengthening my knees, which were showing signs of fatigue after years of abuse while running and climbing. Charith and Nate analyzed my problem and set me up on a strengthening routine. I started seeing results fairly quickly and I am looking forward to regaining my old knee strength; in fact, I have already signed up for a race in October. I train with Nate, and he is an amazing coach. He relentlessly works with me to get the form right, and keeps on trying various tricks until I do. He keeps the routines challenging, as well as fun, which takes the sting out of hitting the gym on a regular basis. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains the science behind all the moves to help me understand how a particular routine would help me move towards my fitness goals. I always train with Nate, but have also done a couple sessions with other trainers as well, and they are all knowledgeable and fun.

I have been working with Nate since Sep, 2015 in Transform 180 fitness center twice a week and I am really satisfied with his ability to guide me in lifting weights the right way which I have been trying to do multiple times in the past. His technique is his strength and he corrects me whenever I do it wrong. After chalking out my goals, we focused primarily on doing Squats, Bench, Deadlift. I have seen dramatic improvement in my physique, gaining muscles and losing fat. I highly recommend to train from Nate.

Nate's personal training with me over the past 6 months has definitely been what I needed to repair my badly torn knee ligament. He is persistent in pushing me beyond what even I think I can manage. I definitely have greater endurance and strength just doing everyday activities as a result. As an older neophyte to the world of personal training, I really appreciated Nate's gentle encouragement and patience with me. I recommend him because I have seen results!
