Great experience working with Natefit to get me back on track to my fitness goals. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. The gym is very clean and has a great atmosphere. I worked directly with Cliff and would absolutely recommend him to anyone (male or female). He listens carefully and tailors your workouts to your goals, has a great personality, and truly wants you to succeed.
I first started training with Nate in 2015. I was overweight, intimidated and definitely in need of a change. Nate worked with me on nutrition, muscle building as well as increasing my cardio abilities. Nate has always made me feel comfortable, even when I was uncomfortable in my own body. He trains without judgement, and makes each session personalized with his programming and engaging personality. Nate wants you to succeed, but allows you to do it on your own terms that work for you!
I went to see Nate last month with extreme lower back/sciatica issues. We worked through a series of stretching and movements to target the area, and I had instant relief from the first session. With continued training, I have seen an incredible improvement in such a short period of time. His knowledge and professionalism is quite impressive and I would highly recommend!
Nate and his team miraculously turned around my wife and I's fitness levels. This time last year we struggled to run 5km without stopping for multiple breaks but now a 10km run before work is an entirely reasonable start to our morning and we're signed up to run our 2nd half marathon. I have built a substantial amount of muscle through his workout programs and they have inspired us to incorporate regular physical activity into our routine.
began training with Nate at NATEFIT in 2023. Nate’s deep knowledge of his field and commitment to his client’s health is very evident in every session. He takes the time to explain the 'why' behind each exercise and workout, which I find invaluable. I was primarily a 'cardio junkie' before and did not know much about or feel overly comfortable when it came to strength training, but he made me feel comfortable right from the start. Nate has taught me how to incorporate both strength and mobility into my workouts, targeted to my specific needs, which I know will be a gamechanger for me as I age. There has also been a noticeable change in my body composition and I have gotten so much stronger since working with him, so I am beyond thrilled with the results! Highly recommended
