The Gym Isn't Enough

Don't get me wrong, we love the gym, so much so that we are one. But you're going to need more than your workout to maintain a healthy lifestyle. 

There are a lot of wonderful things that you can do for your health at the gym. Resistance training (training with weights or extra load) is very impactful for your fitness and is as close to the fountain of youth as you can get. The gym is where great benefits happen, but to get the most of it, you need to pair it with more activity and supportive nutrition. If you are looking only to the gym to help you lose weight, you’re going to be disappointed.

The calories that you burn during your workout count for maybe an hour out of your day. What you eat and how much you move play the biggest role. The gym is where you build lean muscle that helps get that toned/athletic look and improves your health. The only way to reveal your hard work is to make sure your nutrition and activity support your goals. 

We all know we sit too much. Our bodies are meant to move, and all that movement contributes to our calorie use for the day. That hour at the gym needs to be a part of your overall activity—not the sole source. That means we need to get up and get moving. Not only will it help you lose weight, but it will help you recover from your workouts and feel better overall. 

Don’t rely on the gym to be your exclusive source of movement. Rather, make the gym a part of your regular active day!

Intermittent Fasting versus Three Meals A Day

Should you be fasting?

There's nothing inherently special about intermittent fasting. The success for weight loss comes from the ability to achieve a calorie deficit. Intermittent fasting limits the time in which someone can eat, and this MAY help some achieve a calorie deficit and lose weight. 

For some though, it may cause excessive hunger and overeating during their meal times. If this is the case, then they will not lose weight. If the calories are equally reduced over the three meals group, then weight loss will still be achieved. Whatever strategy you choose must be one you can stick with, as adherence is the greatest determining factor for losing weight and keeping it off.

First Blog Post; This is what Next Level is all about!

     Next Level Personal Training Studio was founded with the philosophy that every client deserves comprehensive, individualized programming, tailored to his/her specific goals and physical profile, in order to obtain the best results possible.

Check out our studio in this video!

     Next Level functions under a results-based business model. This means your success is our success! Our approach is to OVER DELIVER, and to make sure our clients know that their progress is our top priority. ”Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” Therefore we are committed to providing our services with sincere intentions of seeing our clients reach their goals.

     We train with integrity and a genuine passion for improving our clients’ health. Our training programs are designed using evidence-based best practices in the fitness industry. We believe that when it comes to personal health, people deserve to be guided honestly and through the safest means possible.

    Unfortunately there is no magical pill, diet, piece of equipment, or other quick-fix method for dramatic weight loss. Gimmicks that promise “extreme results” that are “fast and easy” are exactly that, gimmicks. If you see something in the media or on late night infomercials that seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Our Personalized Process...


     If you want to successfully change your body, in a safe way and with lasting results, the only effective way to do this is through making changes in your exercise and nutrition habits. However, the specific changes may be different for each individual based on many physiological, lifestyle, and other factors.
At Next Level, we work closely with our clients to formulate programs that target their individual needs in these areas. We employ only the most qualified trainers, who are both nationally certified and highly experienced, in order to provide our clients with the highest level of personalized fitness service. We also offer comprehensive nutrition and weight loss coaching programs by trained specialists.
