I worked with Abu for over a year and loved every minute of it. Abu is great for people of every fitness level, and taught me a lot about proper form and how to get the most out of my workouts. He will push you to get stronger, and even had some good tips on proper diet that I found to be helpful. I would highly recommend Abu to anyone, especially to those at the beginning of their fitness journeys.
Abu is amazing!! I did personal training at Next Level for a little over two years and in that time I saw a complete body transformation. I gained over 10 lbs of muscle and the confidence to be able to workout on my own safely. Abu is great at accommodating all fitness levels, and adjusting to your level as you progress. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey in the Oakland area!
I began training with Abu in 2022 however our work together was cut short by a family tragedy. I came to him in October of 2023 with a specific goal in mind. I needed to get fit for a week of skiing in Canada planned for the last week of January 2024. Prior to getting started, Abu patiently listened as I explained that I was prepared to push myself to get in maximum shape. He outlined a program of skiing related exercises, gradually increasing the intensity, to have me peak for my trip. The compact facility is well equipped. His ability to explain and illustrate movements is extraordinary. I feel he intuitively senses the fine line between asking me for more and recognizing when I have reached exhaustion. He gave me routines to do between sessions with a caution to "not overtrain". The last month included three weeks of high volume rotations (strength, balance, agility, speed, etc.). The final week we tapered to the finish. When I boarded the plane the next day, I knew I was ready. Abu is incredibly knowledgeable and can be a stern taskmaster when needed. He is also warm, funny and welcoming. Training With Abu is a great joy! I highly recommend his services to anyone; from a person reengaging with fitness to dedicated athletes looking to move up to the Next Level.
