Update on Anytime Fitness After 3 months with Trainer Nick!

Here ye, here ye calling all women and men over 60! What a journey, from day 1 to day 90 — this week I dead-lifted 115 lbs 36 times and I'm 63! My lower back pain is now a 2 out of 10 instead of a 9. My joint stiffness is dramatically reduced and I have no more pain shooting down my left leg. I walk straighter, can manage everyday household tasks with ease. Why? Because I'm stronger.

Nick knows how to assess how I move to either increase the weight or the number of reps. The issue with aging is it can be a miserable process as you lose muscle mass and confidence. The key — weights. I can't describe how I feel crawling out of the hole of despair and frustration I was in. I am not over-stating that this is the best investment in yourself — your health and well-being. Don't wait another day — you will not only get stronger, you will get your mo-jo back! […]

Update at the 7 month mark. […] We are now at a place where I am strong. I press 220 lbs, can dead lift 125 lbs and have no more pain in my left leg or my left hip. For months I felt tired after the workout, I could still function at work but I was dragging, and now I go from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm without issue. With time and perseverance miracles happen!

Nick is knowledgeable, fun yet serious when it comes to how I execute my hour. […] As it is said, the comeback is better than the setback — LET'S GOOOO!

I joined Anytime Fitness in April of this year. I'm 67 years old and have never been a member of a fitness facility before. […]

Since I have never really taken exercise too seriously I decided to book Nicholas for a trainer. This was one of the best decisions I've made! Nicholas, for the eight or so weeks we worked together, had me work with and gain the knowledge of how all the equipment is intended to be used for my best benefit. Each week Nicholas would track and increase the weight resistance to slowly but firmly gain me the results I am looking for.

As well as the physical training Nic would also talk and advise about diet, recovery methods after workouts and exercises I could do at home between workouts. This information alone justified me booking Nicholas. Although I will never forgive for the leg day workouts (LOL) I cannot argue with the results I have achieved due to the guidance and training.

Although it's possible to do this without a trainer I truly believe your results will be better and safer with at least some training and knowledge from a trainer such as Nicholas. […]

I had an amazing experience training with Nick! From day one, he made every session enjoyable, motivating, and something I genuinely looked forward to. His positive energy, encouragement, and ability to make workouts fun kept me consistent throughout the program.

The results exceeded my expectations — I became stronger, fitter, and more confident thanks to his expertise and personalized approach. Nick knows how to challenge you while keeping the atmosphere light and enjoyable.

If you're looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely fun to work with, I can't recommend Nick enough. Thank you for making fitness such a rewarding experience!

I joined Anytime Fitness a couple of months ago. As this was my first experience of ever being in a gym I was quite nervous feeling like I didn't belong because of my age and not knowing how to use any of the equipment. I signed up to have a Personal Trainer (Nick Hobbs) show me how to get started and feel confident in going to the gym. Nick was great and helped me get started using the equipment and made me feel comfortable going in. Workouts are going great and to also know he is still willing to help out if needed and answer any questions I may have.

[…] I have had the opportunity and pleasure to work with one of their trainers Nicholas Hobbs, training with Nick has been such a great experience. From never having a trainer and learning on my own, to training with Nick. He has really helped me gain more confidence in my lifts, really challenging me to try new workouts but ultimately helping me reach my fitness goals. Nick is outgoing, always making sure you're having fun in your sessions but most importantly he's wanting to make sure you reach your training goals. […]

We have brought our U11 and U13 girls hockey team to the gym for dry land training many times. They have a great area in the back of the gym to push the athlete to their fullest. The staff and trainers (Bry and Nick) were wonderful to organize the sessions. The trainers were positive and motivated the girls extremely well. I can't wait to bring our upcoming team back. Thanks to the staff for having us.

I've been training with Nick Hobbs at anytime fitness for the past three months, and it's been an amazing experience. From day one, he told me that I'd notice my strength improve first, and the physical changes would come afterward and he was absolutely right.

Since training with Nick, all of my lifts have increased significantly. He constantly provides positive encouragement, takes the time to answer every question I have, and always brings a positive attitude to every session. He's introduced me to a variety of new exercises, helped improve my form, and has made every workout challenging and enjoyable.

I've worked with several personal trainers in the past, and Nick is by far the best I've had. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating personal trainer in the Strathroy area, I highly recommend Nick.

Training with Nick has been one of the best decisions I've made! He's incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and has a great way of making every workout both challenging and enjoyable. No two sessions ever felt boring, and somehow he always made hard workouts fun.

The progress I saw was amazing, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Nick genuinely cares about helping his clients succeed and celebrates every milestone along the way.

If you're looking for a trainer who will push you, keep you motivated, and make fitness something you actually enjoy, Nick is the one. Highly recommend!

… I worked with Nick as my trainer to increase my gym IQ and get started on regular fitness management. Nick is so helpful and informative. I learned about proper use of all the machines and weights. Nick is thorough in his explanations, and really listens to what I need to make progress. Thank you Nick!

I've had a great experience training with my gym coach, Nicolas Hobbs. He is knowledgeable, motivating, and always make sure I use the correct form to avoid injuries. Every workout is well planned, challenging, and tailored to my fitness goals. Their encouragement and positive attitude keep me motivated to stay consistent. I've noticed significant improvements in my strength, fitness, and confidence. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and supportive personal trainer!

[…] If you need an extra push or want to train harder Coach Nick is second to none!! I think Coach Nick is just as excited to see your growth or reaching new personal bests as you will be. The spirit of the gym is contagious!!! I HIGHLY recommend it here!!!
