TRIED THE DIET FADS
“When I came to Nick I was over 300lbs. I tried doing all the other diet fads like Slimfast, The South Beach Diet, etc, but nothing really helped. I didn’t even like going out with friends anymore because I was so self-conscious about how I looked; however, after just one month with Nick, I lost almost 40lbs. I couldn’t believe it! Nick helped me so much and everyone at the gym was so positive and encouraging. They became an instant family and offered support. (read more)

He taught me how to eat properly balanced meals
“As I approached my 30’s, I had become less active, never made time for exercise and ate very unhealthy. I now have two children in my life which gave me even less time to make (or I thought so) healthy food, so I would grab whatever was convenient and quick on the way home from work. It showed as I had packed on the pounds over the last few years. I would try to exercise and ‘diet’ on my old habits.
I heard about Nick through some old friends a couple of years ago. I looked at his client’s progression pics and could see he was the ‘real deal.’ I met with him and discussed my goals of losing weight, being fit and healthy. I joined his class and within 5 months I had lost forty pounds! He taught me how to eat properly balanced meals, and how to get the best results through my workout.Even though I had a setback with a back injury I obtained through 15 years of manual labor, I am still able to do the workouts. If something is too irritating to my injury, Nick will modify my routine to still target the necessary muscle groups with no risk of compounding my injury.Through Nick I found a love for exercise. I love seeing the results I get and look forward to meeting my goals and creating new ones!”

Developed endurance and strength beyond my imagination
“3 years ago I was looking for an opportunity to get in shape. My inside sensor was sounding off and it was time to shed some pounds. At that time I was working out at home a few days a week, but still eating fast food and just caught in a vicious cycle. It was time to make some changes! I walked into Nick’s fitness class and he gave me his contact info and I called the next day. I met him at class, he sat down with me one on one and I told him my goals – he created a nutrition/training program and I started that night. My life changed forever – and soon later… I was addicted to the results!!! I’m 43 years old, a mother, wife, with many outside obligations, and I work full time approx. 50 hours a week. It didn’t matter how busy my life was, I knew I needed to find time for myself and my health. So I dedicated myself to fitness. Off the top I lost 20 lbs. and developed endurance and strength beyond my imagination – I soon surpassed my original goal.
Today, I’m still going strong! On average, I work out 3 days a week, doing both cardio and weight training. I’ve never felt happier, stronger, or [more] confident in my own body. I’m forever grateful for Nick’s knowledge, creative workout plans, patience and encouragement.”

PLANNING OUT A SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS PLAN

The chances are good that you have, indeed, lost weight on many of these diets, but the chances are even better that you’ve gained it all back – plus some.
