Next Level Training (NLT) is a fitness center and training facility, conveniently located near Route 287 and Route 10 in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey. We offer a variety of services, including personal training (one-on-one and group), sport-specific training, hockey-specific training, team training, and nutrition counseling.
With certified trainers, an on-site physical therapist and nutritionist, state-of-the-art weight training equipment, and comprehensive, full-service programs, we give teams, athletes, and individuals the distinct advantage to reach their optimal fitness potential.
All incoming clients are assessed by means of an initial evaluation, as well as by a complimentary 30-minute physical therapy evaluation screening. Results from these baseline tests are used in order to determine individuals' strengths and weaknesses, and they serve to enhance the level and quality of subsequent training.
With both one-on-one and group personal training, we cater to individuals' needs and fitness goals. Our trainers custom design each session to provide a challenging and rewarding atmosphere, and all exercises have progressions and regressions to suit all participants' fitness levels. Our one-on-one personal training allows individuals to work out individually in a setting that is entirely focused upon their goals and progress, as well as upon their form and technique. Small group training sessions (a.k.a. "boot camps") provide a fun, energetic atmosphere that encourages individuals to push themselves and others.
We provide our sport-specific athletes with specific conditioning and dynamic workouts that prepare players for the unpredictable nature of their games. For our hockey players, we have unique hockey-specific equipment to help ensure every player reaches his or her peak performance. We use our skating treadmill and acceleration ramp to improve skating mechanics and to train the muscles to maximize their full potential. Our stick-handling machine works on puck control, while it simultaneously enhances players' on-ice awareness by forcing athletes to keep their heads up. We use our two shooting lanes to teach correct shooting techniques, with a focus on increasing both power and accuracy. Our off-ice training is tailored to the individual players' needs by improving strength, balance, flexibility, and agility.

About Us
“Next Level Training transformed my fitness level over the summer, and I came to school knowing I couldn't be more prepared physically. [The staff] also provided me with a tremendous amount of knowledge regarding how I need to prepare for an upcoming hockey season and maintain my health and strength throughout the year. I recommend NLT to any up-and-coming hockey player looking to get an edge physically and mentally over the competition.”

“The players who’ve embraced the training sessions at Next Level are faster and more confident in their skating…You can tell when players are faster, stronger, and have more physical presence on the ice. It’s a great facility. It’s clean and well-run, with state-of-the-art equipment. The trainers are great guys, and the kids really like them.”
- Thomas Bishop
Head Coach, Seton Hall Preparatory Ice Hockey Team
“We've tried several ‘sports specific’ training facilities throughout NJ but Next Level surpasses them all. Our son has been in the hockey training program for over a year and the improvements in his game can be directly attributed to his time spent at Next Level. The trainers are all fantastic and have all helped push our son to the ‘next level.’ Highly recommended!”

“If you really want to get your game to the ‘next level,’ there really is no better place to do it. You can't find another gym like this one. On top of intense weight training, you can skate on the treadmill, do sprints on the incline skating ramp, and get some ice time on the synthetic shooting pad. All day, the gym is filled with division one and professional athletes. Seeing that alone should prove how great and one of a kind this gym is.”
- Daniel F. on Yelp
“Next Level is the Ultimate Hockey training place in New Jersey. The trainers and staff are very helpful. In addition, they always push you to work hard and become a better hockey [player]. Since starting to go to Next Level, I have done nothing but improve. With the equipment they have and the knowledge of the trainers every day I feel that I get better from going there. If you want to improve as a hockey player Next Level is the place to go. Athletes are Built not Born.”
- Charlie N. on Yelp
“Though Next Level, I have gained weight, strength, and speed. I see a major improvement on the ice. [And] our team benefits greatly from Next Level Training. Not only do we gain strength and endurance, but we develop a greater sense of community being able to push each other. Working together off the ice is very beneficial.”
- Thomas C.

- Alex C.
“The trainers are always optimistic during workouts and are never putting you down. [They’re] always pushing you to do your best.”
