"WOW! What hasn't changed for me in working with Nick at Portland Personal Training? My body, my mind and my spirit have all grown and changed in positive and fantastic ways. He has given me a new body that is toned and firm, in just 2 1/2 months I have lost 5% body fat. I am 38 and feel about 18 and with my 20 year reunion is this summer, I am confident to walk in feeling and looking great! But, toning up was just one great part of working with a personal trainer, it went far deeper. Nick gave me ‘opportunities’ which is something I had not had in years. The opportunity to look better, feel better, have more energy for my kids and husband, feel confident in a swim suit again and most of all accomplish a goal just for me, not as a mom or wife. In general most of my days are about caring for others and I spend all my time driving, cooking, cleaning and planning, so what was left inside of me for myself was ZERO. With my newfound energy and spirit to take care of me, I have been a better mother and wife. I can not thank Nick enough for getting me back out there and moving again. Since starting with Portland Personal Training I went from working out 2 days a week to 5 and loving it! There is a sense of strength and pride building inside myself as I accomplish each new goal, class, move and push up, which by the way I can do 15 now in a row!"

“I started working with Nick about a year ago when the Snap Fitness on Baseline was still open. I was trying to get out of my rut of not exercising, and knew that working with a fitness trainer was always successful. He worked with me on the goals I had, whether it be weight loss or just toning up. He realized there would be a difference in the workout based on my age, but that didn't make him let up on me! He always had something different for me so that I didn't get bored, and I can honestly say that I know now why the Biggest Losers want to puke or cry. He knows his stuff and will share his info with you if you're willing - diet, lifting weights, cardio. I can see the difference in my muscle tone, my stamina, and the fact that I can lift a 40-pound bag much easier than before! I think if anyone has the discipline to work with him, they will definitely see results.

"Molly and I had gotten to the point where our at-home weight loss and personal fitness program was turning into more of a series of failed diets. We decided that we needed to take the next step if we were going to lose weight and keep it off. After researching Beaverton and Portland personal trainers, we found Nick with Portland Personal Training and Weight Loss. We were very nervous and anxious, and not sure what to expect, but we decided that if we ever wanted to look like we did in our wedding photos, that we had to just go for it.

In our first few training sessions, Nick strived to get to know us personally and understand our fitness level and lifestyle in order to design a program that would achieve the best results for our weight loss. We felt very comfortable during our training sessions which helped us to achieve results very quickly. As our fitness needs changed, he modified our weight loss program and even helped to adapt our diet.

We’ve been with Nick now for over a year, and the results are astounding. Originally we were just looking for some much needed fat loss and increased energy levels but with our continued training, we’ve noticed that our bodies are now tone and firm. Thanks to Nick’s personal training, we are in the best shape of our lives, and even had the endurance to climb a 14,000 foot mountain. Thank you, Portland Personal Training and Weight Loss; you’ve really changed our lives."

I needed a lifestyle change, but couldn’t seem to do it on my own. I wanted to be strong and healthy and wasn’t sure how to get there. In the past, spending time in the gym wasn’t something I enjoyed…really, I was intimidated. I started training with Carly and everything changed for the better. I eat better, sleep better, look better, but most importantly, I feel better. We were able to set goals that were important to me and design a plan that was compatible with my lifestyle. In four weeks, I lost 1.3% body fat and 1 inch in each thigh! Without Carly’s continuous encouragement and support I don’t know if I would have been able to stay motivated. I know for sure, I wouldn’t have seen results so quickly without her. Working out with a trainer is one of the best decisions I have ever made, my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner!”
