As an owner of a physical therapy practice, my team of Physical Therapists has been able to witness the great work that Nick provides for his clients. We would trust sending Nick patients of ours once they have completed their work with us to ensure that they continue to remain pain and injury free! Highly recommend Nick!

It's only been a few weeks training with Nick and I'm already seeing results- not only am I more flexible and have better posture, but I'm stronger and noticing a change in my body/physical appearance already! He prioritizes my goals and works to incorporate full body exercises + stretches each session. It's clear that he truly cares and goes out of his way to support his clients. He's very intuitive in terms of reading the situation/session (like pushing forward vs. breaking/relaxing) which is helpful. It's really challenging to find out a trainer fluent with 90's boy bands/pop culture knowledge, so this was an added bonus. Will continue to use Nick as my trainer and recommend to others.

Passionate, knowledgable and thoughtful best describe Nick's approach to personal training. He's helped me work around injuries, strengthen the core, improve posture, and increase overall strength. Nick also builds plans for non-training days, to help make sure you stay on course to achieve goals. Really a great all-around experience, and I would highly recommend Nick and his team of trainers.

Nick is great! I’ve been training with him for awhile now and he always makes it fun. I feel like I’ve gotten so much stronger!

After a lock-down fitness lull, Nick has helped me get in shape again. Thanks to Nick I’m I’ve got the fitness level of a 40 year old, though I’m pushing 60. He’s the best.

Major results & non-stop laughsAfter a tough year that left me with little motivation, Nick made getting back on track a blast -- and his plan accelerated my results way beyond my expectations. I've gained 5lbs of muscle in 9 weeks, my endurance is at its best and I'm really enjoying the Truve community.

Four months ago, after a failed attempt at trying to hire a trainer/ coach to work with me who could help me reach my goals (which changed over the pandemic), I googled Oakland Trainers and found Nick's social media. I started watching his videos and immediately felt like his style would be right for me. Prior to the pandemic, I was very active, and I tried my best to keep all that going with gyms shut down. And while I was athletic, ran marathons, practiced yoga - I somehow gained 50 pounds prior to the pandemic.I lost that weight during the pandemic, with keto, yoga, Pilates and more running by myself. Adding in some modest weightlifting. But I was getting stuck in my routine and was not really gaining in muscle or overall health. I still had lower back pain that kept me from enjoying life. I knew I needed more. And from someone who make training fun and give me new experiences from which to grow.Fast forward to today and Nick and I have been working together every week since. His knowledge of fitness, weight training and the body alongside his humor and curiosity make our sessions smart and fun. Nick listened to me and what I needed. He designed a program for me, which included introducing me to PT resources. He works alongside them to help create a coaching and life plan that adds value to my routine. Due to his coaching and mentoring me, starting to feel much younger. I am more than just walking around pain free. I am doing burpees and box jumps for the first time in many years. Thanks to Nick and his coaching.Nick is such a nice fellow. That's important to me. He is not some ego driven trainer with "one way." He really listens and works with you. He comes back with research and new ideas. He is flexible with your input and makes sure he is incorporating what he learns from you into your routine. This is not a guy who just grabs a chart and gives you the same exercises as his other sessions and clients. He is a real partner in your fitness. Oh, and he is building a community of resources and friends around him. He creates opportunities for weekend community building activities - like hikes, bike rides and races.He is the teacher and the student. Always learning and growing and bringing that to you. Don't hesitate to meet with Nick. I am sure you won't be sorry.

I highly recommend Nu fitness! Joining a 3-month training program turned out to be the best decision for 2022. During this training, I grew leaps and bounds in terms of my fitness level and also gained a detailed understanding of different exercise modalities to achieve strength and endurance. I can't thank Nick enough for helping me achieve my fitness goals and for the constant positive reinforcement during my training.

I'm so glad I took the leap and started training with Nick! After feeling lethargic from months of staying at home during the pandemic, Nick helped jumpstart my return to fitness. He's been so enthusiastic and supportive, while also meeting me where I was as I got back into an exercise routine. He makes workouts fun, encourages making fitness goals and develops plans to achieve them. Thank you, Nick, for your support on this journey (and for helping me reach PR after PR)!
