I’ve been working with Nico for a few months now. He is knowledgeable and doesn’t let me slack off. My shoulder pain has disappeared but I’m going to continue working with Nico to slowly lose weight and get in much better condition.

Niko has been the best trainer I could have asked for. I had a very specific and what sometimes felt like an insurmountable goal, and Niko was encouraging, helpful, and friendly throughout my entire journey. Thanks to his training and direction, I am in better shape now than I have been in close to 20 years. He created a workout plan for me, he created a meal plan for me, and he has never hesitated to answer any question I’ve had about my training. He is extremely professional, extremely knowledgeable, and I can not recommend him highly enough.

Niko is professional, knowledgeable, timely, and extremely easy to work with. He checks up on me during the week to make sure I am doing what I need to do on my own and is always flexible when I need to schedule or reschedule training. Great guy to work with all around.

I have nothing but great things to say about Niko. He is a great motivator & gym coach. He was a joy to work with and I will definitely be using him again as soon as possible. He’s good at helping people set goals and accomplishing them. If you’re looking for an excellent trainer I highly recommend Niko.

Niko was a great trainer who definitely helped me accomplish my goals and build confidence in the gym. He was very flexible and easy to work with. He always made time for me and worked with my schedule. He is a great motivator in the gym and pushes to work harder. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer.

Niko is one of the best trainers I’ve ever worked with! He helped me reach my goals and was extremely patient and professional. He’s also extremely knowledgeable in what he does and you can see the passion he has for fitness. 10/10 recommend.

Niko is an encouraging, knowledgeable trainer! I was originally hesitant about using a trainer as I didn’t know what to expect and was worried we’d do the same things every time and I would get bored - but I was very wrong! Niko spends time on the front end getting to know you and your goals and develops a workout routine and nutrition plan tailored just for you. I’m someone who needs variety both in my workouts and in my diet, and he delivered! Niko is not only a great trainer, but also a great teacher - helping you understand why you’re doing what you’re doing and helps to set realistic expectations. He pays attention to detail with your form, noticing and correcting any imbalances in order to prevent injuries and build a strong foundation. Niko is down to earth and focused on helping his clients achieve their goals while keeping sessions challenging but enjoyable! Sometimes, I don’t think I can keep going, but he always knows when I can (and when I can’t) push one or two more reps and encourages me to do so! I feel stronger and more confident in my abilities from working out with Niko!

When I moved to Brentwood nearly 3 years ago I wanted to find a trainer to help me work on my fitness. I have a chronic joint condition that has led to many injuries and constant frustration. I've wasted money on gyms, internet workout programs, beachbody, etc - none of it was able to help me because I needed specific modifications. Enter Niko: after interviewing a few trainers I knew Niko would be a great fit for me. Between our phone call and meeting he looked into my condition and came prepared to demonstrate some modifications. The rest is history - Niko has been my trainer for 1 hour 2x per week for more than 2 years with no plans to stop!

My primary focus has been on building muscle and stabilization, which he has been amazing about helping me with. I have seen huge improvement in my stability, a decrease in pain, and I can definitely lift far heavier! I can even do assisted pull-ups now! He is constantly surprising me with new workouts & modifications using the equipment we have in our garage gym. Aside from all of that, I was pregnant in 2022 and worked out until 39 weeks pregnant (even doing assisted pull-ups!) - Niko was there every week helping me stay healthy and modifying through every stage! My doctor was impressed by how I continued to workout and credited my easy pregnancy to that fact. While losing weight isn't my focus, (or it wasn't - post baby my priorities have shifted a little!), I have lost weight and he helps with the nutrition aspect of my health as well.

Reliable: he makes every appointment and gives advanced notice if anything has to change
Flexible: Two job changes and a newborn have made my life hectic and he has accommodated me at every turn!
Knowledgeable: he knows a ton about fitness & nutrition (of course), but also takes time to research things if he doesn't know them immediately (such as my joint condition)
Creative: he keeps things interesting by giving me exercises I've never heard of with random gym equipment and modifying things in ways I never would have guessed!
Encouraging: he celebrates new wins (setting new prs, losing weight, etc), he encourages me to do more than I think I can without yelling/being obnoxious

TLDR; Niko is awesome and I 10/10 recommend him.

I have had various trainers over the years and Niko is my favorite! I have been working with him for about 6 months. Niko has very well-rounded knowledge of everything fitness. He explains and demonstrates all the moves you need to complete your workouts(I’m a perfectionist so this part is important to me!). He writes you PERSONALIZED workouts based on your goals and is always available to answer questions. I have done two programs with consisted of training for 6 days / week of a mix of weights and cardio (I like to workout everyday so it’s part of the personalized plan). He is super quick with replies(even mid workout I still get my answers!) and always encouraging if you’re training in person but not over the top like some trainers. My boyfriend and I even do couples workouts with him sometimes and they’re always a blast while still targeting both our goals because he will sub moves specific to me. I am the strongest I have ever felt and in great cardio shape because of the personalized workouts and structure he created in the plan for me. If you haven’t had a virtual trainer, in person trainer, or are curious... Niko is your guy!

I was initially concerned about hiring a trainer because of some previous injuries and arthritis issues, but I wanted to improve my fitness and I needed motivation. Niko assured me that he would plan workouts with my injuries in mind and make sure I did not re-injure myself.

With his help I have been able to gain strength and improve my overall fitness. He has also helped keep me motivated to work out and make better food choices. During the Covid shutdown we were able to keep working together via FaceTime.

Niko is a friendly, easygoing person and I have enjoyed my fitness journey with his help over the last year.
