When I moved to Brentwood nearly 3 years ago I wanted to find a trainer to help me work on my fitness. I have a chronic joint condition that has led to many injuries and constant frustration. I've wasted money on gyms, internet workout programs, beachbody, etc - none of it was able to help me because I needed specific modifications. Enter Niko: after interviewing a few trainers I knew Niko would be a great fit for me. Between our phone call and meeting he looked into my condition and came prepared to demonstrate some modifications. The rest is history - Niko has been my trainer for 1 hour 2x per week for more than 2 years with no plans to stop! My primary focus has been on building muscle and stabilization, which he has been amazing about helping me with. I have seen huge improvement in my stability, a decrease in pain, and I can definitely lift far heavier! I can even do assisted pull-ups now! He is constantly surprising me with new workouts & modifications using the equipment we have in our garage gym. Aside from all of that, I was pregnant in 2022 and worked out until 39 weeks pregnant (even doing assisted pull-ups!) - Niko was there every week helping me stay healthy and modifying through every stage! My doctor was impressed by how I continued to workout and credited my easy pregnancy to that fact. While losing weight isn't my focus, (or it wasn't - post baby my priorities have shifted a little!), I have lost weight and he helps with the nutrition aspect of my health as well. Reliable: he makes every appointment and gives advanced notice if anything has to change Flexible: Two job changes and a newborn have made my life hectic and he has accommodated me at every turn! Knowledgeable: he knows a ton about fitness & nutrition (of course), but also takes time to research things if he doesn't know them immediately (such as my joint condition) Creative: he keeps things interesting by giving me exercises I've never heard of with random gym equipment and modifying things in ways I never would have guessed! Encouraging: he celebrates new wins (setting new prs, losing weight, etc), he encourages me to do more than I think I can without yelling/being obnoxious TLDR; Niko is awesome and I 10/10 recommend him.

Niko is an encouraging, knowledgeable trainer! I was originally hesitant about using a trainer as I didn’t know what to expect and was worried we’d do the same things every time and I would get bored - but I was wrong! Niko spends time on the front end getting to know you and your goals and develops a workout routine and nutrition plan tailored just for you. I’m someone who needs variety both in my workouts and in my diet, and he delivered! Niko is not only a great trainer, but also a great teacher - helping you understand why you’re doing what you’re doing and helps to set realistic expectations. He pays attention to detail with your form, noticing and correcting any imbalances in order to prevent injuries and build a strong foundation. Niko is down to earth and focused on helping his clients achieve their goals while keeping sessions challenging but enjoyable! Sometimes, I don’t think I can keep going, but he always knows when I can (and when I can’t) push one or two more reps and encourages me to do so! I feel stronger and more confident in my abilities from working out with Niko!

Niko S. Is Great! I’m so glad I found fyt! I just finished my first session with Niko, and he exceeded all my expectation's. He was very attentive and listened to my goals, my concerns, and how my medical conditions may affect my exercise routine. Niko is very personable and easy to talk to, and he made very positive impression on my family. We worked at my pace and he also pushed me when he noticed I could be pushed a little harder. More importantly, he listened to me when I expressed unreasonable discomfort or pain. He is flexible with our schedules and I am really looking forward to our future sessions.

I have nothing but great things to say about Niko. He is a great motivator & gym coach. He was a joy to work with and I will definitely be using him again as soon as possible. He’s good at helping people set goals and accomplishing them. If you’re looking for an excellent trainer I highly recommend Niko.

I’ve been working out with Niko for several months now. He is always on time, is flexible with my busy schedule, easy to work with, and I’m definitely seeing results. He has been a big help in pushing me towards my goals.

Niko has been the best trainer I could have asked for. I had a very specific and what sometimes felt like an insurmountable goal, and Niko was encouraging, helpful, and friendly throughout my entire journey. Thanks to his training and direction, I am in better shape now than I have been in close to 20 years. He created a workout plan for me, he created a meal plan for me, and he has never hesitated to answer any question I’ve had about my training. He is extremely professional, extremely knowledgeable, and I can not recommend him highly enough.

If you’re like me it is so easy to put off getting in better condition. I decided for me it was the right time and I’m fortunate I found Nico. He is easy to work with and non judgmental. I’m glad to be working with someone who is knowledgeable in the field and understands what my goals are. Highly recommend Nico if your goals are to regain the body you had when you were younger.
