Abu is the best trainer..not only is he patient but he listens to your problems and concerns regarding your body and designs a fitness plan that helps you achieve your goals. Its been about 3 months of me training with Abu and Ive lost a little over 14lbs💪🏽..he also designed a workout program for me to use while Im out of country for the next few months..he is an awesome person with the right attitude and even more importantly...He is a Black Owned Business💕💕

Abu is a patient and motivational trainer. guru, and friend. I had no personal tradition of exercise or fitness before meeting him, but he has helped me to develop one. I am in significantly better shape than I was when I first started training, and I owe it to Abu. Spending time with him is an essential part of my week and I recommend him highly.

Abu is an amazing personal trainer, especially if like me - a woman over age 65 years - you never have had one before. He completely individualizes the workouts and builds incrementally and gradually to avoid injuries or overuse strains. I cant say enough good things about him as a personal fitness trainer!

Ive been working with Abu for several years now and my overall health has improved significantly. I highly recommend Next Level for anyone looking for individualized training either one-on-one or in small groups.

I have been working with Abu for several months now. I am 55 and was really out of shape. I feel so much better now. My goals were weight loss, strength and flexibility and all of these things are moving in the right direction.Also, Abu is a great human. It is no problem for me when the alarm goes off at 5:30am because a really like going to Next Level. I work out with a small group. We all enjoy each others company. We laugh a LOT. And the 45ish mins always go by really quickly.This fitness thing is hard. Its a life style issue. I feel like I have engaged in something that is completely sustainable physically, economically and emotionally.

Abu has been great; working with him has been a wonderful way to stay motivated to realize honest fitness goals.Im not getting any younger, but working on my health certainly helps me feel that way!

I was physically active through my 50s but everything beyond that has been a struggle. Working with Abu has motivated and encouraged me to get back to the balanced existence I once enjoyed. He is patient and understanding and individualizes his workouts to fit the needs of his diverse clientele. Working with Abu has improved the quality of my life. And, isnt that what its all about?Mimi JJ

Never worked out in my life, and Abu has managed to keep me on track and motivated for (coming up on) a full year. There’s no one like him, and his large fanbase of long-term clients is proof of that!

Ive trained with Abu in the group classes for about 6 months. Its a small fun bunch of us keeping young. Abu is fun and patient, and I always come back from his gym feeling happy and a little worn out. Im in good enough shape now that I just did my first 10k run in 1hr 3mins!

This is my first time with a personal trainer and I couldnt have chosen better! My husband first started coming to Abu about a year ago and when I complained about needing help to get fit he suggested I give Abu a try too. It has been a great experience - Abu works with you at the level you are at and motivates you to work harder and improve your fitness. I find I actually look forward to exercising!

For me, a man approaching seventy, Abu has been an outstanding personal trainer. I had been exercising at home for years at home, lifting weights (clueless about my form) and riding a stationary bike, when I started having lower back pain. As a primary care physician, I knew the solution was daily, disciplined stretching. But stretching had always been too tedious for me stick with. Abu taught me how to use a foam roller to counter muscle stiffness and a dynamic stretching routine that is also aerobic, so it doesn’t feel like I’m wasting time. My second revelation came from adopting his approach to work-out content, which makes it NOT boring. After a year of working with him, he continues to teach me new varieties of core and extremity strengthening exercises. Now I decide on the whim of a moment which specific exercises will go into my repetition sets for today. Abu pushes me farther than I would go on my own, but never too far, and always integrates my feedback into the work-out content.

I first started working with Abu because I was intrigued by his “The Next Level” approach: just start where you are and work to improve to the next level, then the next one after that, etc. He helped me improve my fitness and my overall health significantly. Most impressive has been his knowledgable and very individualized training. In the last.5 years, I have had 3 joint-replacement surgeries. For each one, Abu took the time to plan exercises to increase strength in the specific areas that would be most important for post-surgery recovery. I am quite certain that the training Abu has provided for me greatly impacted my recovery from each of these major surgeries. I am healthier, happier and able to not only walk more easily than I could before I worked with Abu, but now I can also run for the first time in many years! I’m sure some credit should go to my orthopedic surgeon — but easily half goes to Abu. As a bonus, as I have increased my strength, balance and flexibility over the last few years working with Abu, I have also steadily lost 30 pounds.

This is a great starting point to wellness
