Nick FIT

Nick is an amazing trainer. I see him twice a week and at every session, he challenges me to push myself further every time. He has in depth knowledge of the body, and personalizes each workout to safely get maximum results within the hour we have. And, the best part is he is so much fun that the hour just flies by. Thanks Nick for helping me stay on top of my fitness goals!

Smart, motivating, and wonderful eye candy (not to mention amazingly athletic). I’ve been training with Nick for almost a year now and have been very happy with the results, even looking forward to more positive changes over the next year. Although I suffer from a lower back disc herniation, within a few months of working with Nick my lower back pain diminished to undetectable levels which helped me stop regularly taking Ibuprofen to reduce my back pain as it has disappeared! In addition, my husband thinks I look «hot as f*ck!» (that would be average to the rest of you out there).
My stop-​and-​go relationship with exercise changed when I started working with Nick. His knowledge of anatomy and amazing toolbox of routines enabled him to customize a workout for me, taking into consideration a program to strengthen my core and reduce my back pain. Moreover, Nick’s physical therapy training has also come in handy a few times. To help ameliorate my back pain we have used some sessions to focus only on stretches for my legs and lower back.
Every time I workout with Nick I know it is time well spent, and I feel great (well, sore for the first couple days). I have my PhD in cell biology and yet regularly learn something new about my physiology from working with Nick. His knowledge of anatomy and physiology is impressive and benefits all of his clients.
If you’re lucky enough for Nick to fit you into his busy schedule I’m confident it will be one of the best training sessions or series of sessions you’ve had.

What can I say that the others here haven’t? Nick’s an excellent trainer and motivator. He works hard at keeping each session different from the last — which for me, was great. Never a boring session and always felt that every workout ended with results. Nick made working out actually fun for me!

I pulled a lower back muscle while I was playing basketball at the gym. My back is practically immobilized by the injury and had hard time moving around and I couldn’t bend forward. It was very painful and I though I may have a disc prolapse. Thank god Nick gave me 2 sessions and I felt i was walking 2 inches above the ground. My pain is literally gone in less than 48 hours after the injury and I can bend forward and resume my daily activities. If it wasn’t for Nick, I would be lying in pain. Thanks for the session and your intuitive touch. Hats off to you, you’re far the best massage therapist I’ve encountered.

I spent 5 weeks in San Francisco and during that time I found a local gym and Nick as my personal trainer soon after. He took into account my current statistics and then we set some realistic goals taking into account the length of my stay. He is full of energy and really helped me push myself to the next level. He is very knowledgeable about different ways to exercise a muscle group so I wasn’t constantly getting into boring routines like I have with other trainers. I liked his coaching so much, I’m considering using him as a virtual trainer since I live on the other coast.

Nick is a one of a kind trainer. For over 3 years now I have trained with him, and I can’t imagine ever stopping! It is truly the best hour of my week. I love total body training, and with Nick, I get what I love, and never get bored. He keeps me on my toes (literally), and I feel great every time we finish training (albeit exhausted). If you’re looking for the absolute best trainer in the city, look no further than Nick and Nick FIT.

I have had countless good and bad massages throughout a very stressful career; Nick, by far, gives the absolute best massages I’ve ever had… bar none!
He possesses an amazing knowledge of the anatomy which serves him (and me!) so well in understanding which muscles (near and distant) contribute to ones’ pain.
I have chronic pain (especially in my back and neck) throughout my body for many years. Nick’s massages are a God send! His massage studio is very comfortable and welcoming — and to top it off, he is a very cool person.
Do yourselves a favor, and get a massage from Nick… I can’t imagine that you would want anyone else.

I have trained with Nick for 3 years and couldn’t be more pleased with his services. Many trainers out there just spend time on their phone while watching you work out. Nick is the opposite; he sets up the weights, shows you how to do the set (no matter how many times necessary) and concentrates on ensuring your best form. Further, Nick takes into account your unique body needs and accommodates them. As I have a bad back Nick has often created alternative sets when we work on legs. Between the quality of his services and his sincere desire to see you do well I highly recommend Nick.

Nick is the most incredible massage therapist I’ve ever been to (and over the years I have been to many in SF). He embodies what it means to be an intuitive healer, combining his professional training, athleticism, and intensive understanding of the body, with a practical, versatile, and compassionate approach to body work. After discovering his work several years ago, I have never gone to another provider and can’t imagine that I will.
I have chronic neck and shoulder pain and in working with Nick have found that he is not afraid to push edges but does so in a way that you feel held and cared for. Working with him is a profound somatic experience, and additionally he is down to earth, uses humor in interactions, and is just a downright awesome person.

I’ve had many personal trainers over the years and have always been athletic and in OK shape, but once I started working with Nick, my body transformed. He works really hard to make sure I get the very most out of every session, by pushing me to the limits he knows I can handle, even if I’m not always so sure. The trainings are intense but Nick’s personality wit and humor make the sessions fun and the hour flies by. Don’t even get me started on Nick’s massages, AMAZING! I can go on and on… All around fantastic!

Nick is my first personal trainer and I will never go back to working out solo! Nick worked closely with me on balancing diet with exercise and I saw tremendous results. I lost close to 15 lbs working out with him in a matter of months and significantly reduced my body fat % (reduced by ~10%). I feel strong — the healthiest I’ve been in my entire life. I never thought I’d be more fit in my 30s than my 20s but I am so glad that I have gotten to work out with Nick. He is patient, energetic and makes it fun — recommend him a ton!

Nick is personable, knowledgeable, demanding, kind, funny, and motivational. Not much else you need in a trainer. Although he often has a wait list for session, I suggest you put your name on it if looking for a trainer. He trains out of Alex fitness on Market st., the gym is good and offers a large variety of Equiptment.

Nick is a knowledgeable, effective, and fun personal trainer. I noticed results very quickly training with him. It’s hard to be motivated to work out (and his sessions are challenging), but Nick’s style and great personality makes it much easier to get myself to the gym and it’s paid off!
I highly recommend making it to a Saturday morning TRX class so you won’t feel guilty about a little indulging over the weekend (or working off happy hour from the night before).

Nick devotes his undivided attention to me from the minute the session begins to the very end of the hour. He never strays from my side and is a perfect balance of cheer leader and slave driver, encouraging me to do things I do not think I am capable of doing and at the same time pushing me to achieve higher fitness goals. His knowledge of the human body and its complex muscle systems is extensive, and he continually monitors the exercises to ensure that my form is correct, thereby achieving maximum benefit from the exercise. I had some concerns about hip and shoulder issues at the outset, so Nick checks with me at the start of each session, asking how my body is feeling; and he constantly checks in with me during the session, modifying exercises if and when he senses that it is needed. On particularly difficult exercises that require balance, he stays close by to offer a steadying hand if it becomes necessary. He is quick to offer praise if merited but never makes me feel inadequate if something proves to be too difficult. Although sessions are always a challenge, at the end, I have a sense of accomplishment. It is obvious that Nick loves what he does, and his positive energy inspires me to keep at it. I couldn’t ask for more in a personal trainer. I would recommend Nick to anyone who is serious about improving his or her physical well-​being.

Nick’s TRX class on Saturday mornings at Alex Fitness rock! His ability to cater to everyone’s strengths is stellar and, although the work out kicks my butt, it’s always fun and it keeps me interested! I’d recommend it to anyone who likes to have fun while they have a great workout!

Nick’s understanding of body mechanics, physiology and anatomy blows me away! I love that I can point to a particular feeling I get when I do an exercise and he can explain not only why it happens, but modify the exercise to accommodate my individual body’s needs.
He creates a great pace and stays hyper-​focused on my body mechanics during the workout, making little tweaks when necessary. And he throws in stretches and simple alignment or balance movements to keep the routine flowing and both fresh and exciting.
I highly recommend Nick, he’s top of the class at what he’s doing.
