Your Fitness Journey Reimagined
Pursuing an enhanced version of ourselves is not merely an opportunity but the cornerstone of our fitness journey!
We determine your Core strength, which is the ability of the torso’s muscles, including the abdomen, lower back, pelvis, and hips, to work together effectively. These muscles not only provide stability and support for the spine and pelvis but also play a crucial role in maintaining proper posture, balance, and overall body movement. Only by understanding and appreciating this importance, can significantly improve your overall fitness performance.
We incorporating both stability and mobility training into a fitness routine. It’s crucial to incorporate stability and mobility training into your fitness routine. This approach not only promotes optimal movement quality and reduces the risk of injury but also enhances your overall physical performance. By making these practices a regular part of your routine, you’re not just investing in your fitness and health but also long-term, sustainable improvement.
Enhanced stability is more than just balance. It’s about empowering your body to maintain control and balance during various movements and activities. This process involves activating and coordinating muscles, joints, and the nervous system to maintain proper alignment and control over the body’s position. By enhancing your stability, you gain a greater sense of control over your body, boosting your confidence and overall fitness .
Please remember that the duration of each stage will vary from person to person.
What Clients Say About Us
Barbara Robbins NYC
I’ve known Nick for more than 20 years and have worked with him, as my husband did, over the years. Both of us can only say he is absolutely the best. His particular focus is on core and balance, mobility and flexibility. He’s also terrific at seeing what each of his clients needs and working with them to attain a goal they decide together is important. In short, he is the best!
Sheena Singh Danziger
I have known Nick for over 15 years, and he is one of the best trainers I have encountered. He is creative, constantly challenging his clients and making working out interesting and fun, and tailors his training to each client’s specific needs. No “one size fits all” training here! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get in great condition or to maintain– he is the best! !
Karin McKinnell
I have trained with Nick for over a decade. I can honestly say, there is no one better. One session with him is like two or three on my own… except I don’t get the same results! Nick is always positive and fun to train with. Remarkably, in all of our years of training, I feel like we never did the same thing twice.I also worked with him coming back from two major injuries. He knew exactly what was my limit and how to help support me. I know I recovered faster with him than with my physical therapist. Admittedly, I have struggled with his rates. He is expensive, yes, but worth it. There is truly no one better to have on your team than Nick.
Eddie Brown
Nick is amazing! Understands the science behind the exercise. But be mindful that he’s tough and won’t baby you. Highly recommended!! First he takes time to understand your current state of affairs and your goals, then he painstakingly draws up a plan that works for you. He also takes time to understand your life and what makes you tick. He puts it all together and motivates you to achieve your best results. And on top of it all, he’s a genuinely nice guy. Oh yeah and he thinks he’s funny 😄
