After having struggled with my weight for my whole life, I felt like I had tried and failed at every diet out there. The weight would either stay put or come right back as soon as I was finished. Given this history, I was a little bit skeptical to get started but five months later, I’m still going strong! I’ve lost a little more than 40 pounds, replaced my size 12 jeans with size 2, and learned a ton about health and wellness. I love that I’m learning about the science behind weight loss and the reasoning behind the changes I make. Next Level is so helpful in personalizing the plan for my body and activity level, supporting me, and patiently answering all of my questions (seriously, I had so many questions) that a new lifestyle became effective and sustainable. Even for the latter three months of my weight loss journey, when I was halfway across the country at college and surrounded by junk food, Next Level team is such a resource to me and helps me stay on track. So grateful for them!

The before and after of working with Next Level Health & Wellness:
• Before: I weighed 244lb with a body fat percentage of approximately 28%
• After: I weigh 203lbs with a body fat percentage of 10.1. Most of that weight having been lost in months 1-4
• I had Type 2 Diabetes that required me to inject insulin once in the morning, once at night and before every meal for a total of close to 300 units. My A1c was 10.1 or high end of diabetic range
• My Type 2 Diabetes is completely in remission and I no longer need to take any medication or insulin for it. My A1c is now 5.8 at the lowest end of pre-diabetic range.
• While athletic in high school, after that, I had never worked out for more than a week straight in my life.
• I now enjoy working out 5 days a week. It's a great source of relaxation, stress relief and personal time. I actually get a little cranky if I have to miss a workout!
• I had tried 3 or 4 diets in the past, lost weight and then immediately put it back on.
• I don't view the program Next Level worked out for me as a diet. It is a "lifestyle change" (and yes...I am that typical guy that used to cringe when I heard that term!) that I have incorporated fully into my life, whether I am at work, at home, at a party or out to dinner...Its a new way of looking at food that I found works.
• In spite of ignoring it, I used to be very unhappy with the way my body looked figuring "oh well, I'm coming up on 50, nothing much to be done about it now".
• I'm now very happy with how my body looks and have great goals for beach season that are going to blow my friends and family away when I reach them...we are talking visible abs here!
• I felt fun down, tired, achy and generally grouchy all the time.
• I feel amazing. Energy levels are up, and my general sense of how my body is functioning feels tangibly better. Like a 49 year old car that just had its first oil change ever!!
I was the stereotypical 49 year old guy who prioritized work, worked too hard, ignored what my body was telling me and made excuses to rationalize my poor health habits. With Next Level’s help my life has turned around, everyone who knows me is completely blown away with what I have accomplished. Functionally I am now 5 years younger than my timeline age and I owe it all to two things; my hard work, and Next Level’s knowledge, patience and resources. Thank you Next Level, we have changed my life in ways I never even thought would be possible.

Next Level has a high level of professionalism and sincerity in every task they undertake, when I first came to them I had made several attempts to lose weight with no light at the end of the tunnel. Their comprehensive approach combined with an in depth personalized assessment makes them a fantastic nutrition coach. They firmly believe in using the highest quality of nutritional supplements available combined with disciplined eating which is what I needed to achieve and maintain my personal health goals. I am grateful that Next Level has helped me to obtain a healthier overall weight. I started at 240 lbs and currently through their weight loss plan and nutritional guidance I weigh 180 lbs. I have been able to maintain my current weight for the past several months through their continued efforts. Thanks to Next Level’s continuous caring and influential guidance I feel better today than I have ever felt.
Next Level is an outstanding master of personalized exercise programs. Next Level offers a treasure trove of health and fitness knowledge, an expert in weight training, running and body exercise workouts. They are the real deal in the industry and is the standard by which any personal trainer should be measured. Next Level started our training session at a slower pace allowing me to build to more advanced training, never overworking one set of muscles. The work out programs available to me through the Next Level app allowed me to work out at home and save so much time. Next Level is also very responsive when I have had any questions or concerns about certain exercises. Thanks to their help and guidance I have far exceeded the goals in which I have set for myself while looking forward to seeing how much more I can achieve with his continued training.

"After having a baby and gaining weight during my pregnancy everyone told me the weight will come off quickly and not to worry about it, especially since I was breast feeding... Well fast forward to 10 months later and I was still 45 pounds from my goal weight. I could not lose weight even though I was dieting and exercising as I had done in the past. Something was wrong! I contacted Next Level and set up a free consultation which was very informative explaining in great detail how this program would work. The proper way to lose weight all began to make so much sense! My first week I lost over 5 pounds right away! I even started to feel better and noticed an improvement in my skin and hair. The diet is very well structured which I needed and my Coach helped create a fool proof plan for me and also provides guidance if I have any questions. Now I'm so close to my goal weight and I feel so much better. I know I'm a much better mommy for my son as I now have tons of energy to chase and keep up with him! I highly recommend them"

Next Level has changed my life. A health coach extraordinaire! We’ve been working together for two years, and I’ve never felt better or been healthier. Each and every time we talk, I learn something new; sometimes it’s physical, sometimes it’s emotional, always it’s beneficial. I feel in control of my health in a way I never have before. At 50, that’s saying something. Next Level’s reach extends beyond our sessions. I bring wisdom home to my family and they benefit as well. You’re in very good hands with Next Level. Listen, learn, trust in them and you will not be disappointed!
