"When I joined Next Level Training, I wanted to improve my overall strength and become leaner by building more muscle. I've always worked out, but felt like I was killing myself by running on the treadmill or elliptical for hours each week. Since having my twins 3 years ago and hitting the big 4-0 in March, I was struggling to lose any weight, even though I watch what I eat for the most part. One evening, my husband came home from a hockey game and told me about Bill and NLT. He had talked to Bill about my struggles and goals. Bill explained to him that in order for me to lose weight at this point in my life, I should really strength train. As a result, I decided to sign up for 6 months at NLT. I meet with Bill two times a week and I've noticed a huge difference in my strength; I feel much better overall. I've never enjoyed strength training on my own, but Bill has completely changed my attitude. I absolutely love what he has taught me and look forward to my sessions with him. A big thank you to Bill for showing me that strength training is a new way of life for me."

"I believe that going to Next Level has been life-changing and one of the best decisions I have made in my life. By going to Next Level, I've lost nearly 35 pounds and have greatly improved my hockey skills."

"I have been coming to Next Level for about 3 years or so now, and ever since the first day I have felt welcomed by everyone here. All of the trainers would always look out for me and would always help throughout my workouts. Going through two shoulder surgeries in two years was very difficult for me, but Next Level was always there to help get me back into shape once I was cleared to workout again. This summer, after coming back from college, I was easily the most out of shape person working out at Next Level. However, from the time I got back home to the day I left, I put everything I had into working out to get better. This past summer, I lost 20 pounds and turned a lot of fat into muscle. I could not have done it without everyone’s help [at Next Level] each and every day! I am so excited to play this season for Virginia Tech and will definitely keep Next Level updated with how the season is going. I have attached the last picture of me playing in a competitive game since I could not play this past year at school due to my second shoulder surgery. Thank you again so much and I hope to see you all soon!"

“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.”

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.”

“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.”

“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.”
