Next Level Solutions: Training and Fitness Consulting

Feb 2024

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.

I've worked with a few trainers over the years, and Abu is, without a doubt, the most knowledgeable, effective, and fun to work with. I have a history of injuries, so I really appreciate Abu's beginning assessment. He really took the time to understand my concerns and my goals. His expertise as a chiropractor and trainer makes it so I'm able to train and not worry as much about reinjury due to his knowledge of the body and focus on form. And, if something where to happen, he'll know how to support me. Within three months of working with Abu, I was able to do a chin up, and, shortly after that, a pull up! I had pretty much given up on achieving that goal as it's one I've worked on for years to no avail. I am stronger, have more energy, and sleep better since training with Abu. Also like that he didn't assume weight loss was my goal as most trainers do. And he believes me if I say something hurts/doesn't feel right--and sometimes notices before I say anything. I wish this were more common amongst trainers, but, sadly, that's not been my experience. Abu has helped me have a healthier relationship with my body--I now have a lot more gratitude for what my body is capable of and feel proud of what I'm learning to do. Really couldn't ask for a better trainer. If you're looking for one--go see Abu!

Abu is just what I have always needed: as a chiropractor, he understands the body; as a trainer, he understands how to get the most from people who don't think they can do it! He pushes you in an extremely kind but relentless way to get you in shape and works creatively around injuries. And to top it off, he has a great sense of humor and warm personality to make the hard parts easier. I recommend him for someone with issues related to aging as well as to athletes and others interested in a very high level of fitness. I see the results in increased strength, endurance and flexibility----which I didn't think would happen at my advanced age of 75!
