Testimonials:

I have been a client of Gerry’s on and off for at least five years. Since then, Gerry has skillfully helped my get my body into the best shape several times over. I usually leave town for a few months and sometimes when I come back I have to start over again. Gerry is always knowledgeable about the latest fitness techniques so I know I can rely on him to help me get to my best physical form quickly and efficiently.

Aside from that it is always a pleasure to work with him. He is refreshingly fun, while at the same time professionally focused on my goals. I would confidently recommend him as a trainer to anyone, and plan to keep working with him myself for as long as possible!

“The day that I first walked in to Next Level Fitness, I knew that this was the place and these were the people that would help me reach my fitness goals and achieve my personal best.
Gerry has the ability to assess ones physical ability in a short time, and develop a program that will challenge without overwhelming, delivering results that are undeniable.
Every workout with Gerry brings with it a new set of challenges to be met and new goals to reach for. I never knew what being fit was until I discovered Next Level Fitness.”

I went to see Gerry with nothing more than a vague notion that they had something I wanted, and that I could get it from them. I knew this because I had recently seen a friend who was looking unbelievably fit, and he gave me his number. Through a paradigm shift in my approach to nutrition and exercise, I have been able to redefine my physical assessment at the age of 45. I encourage anyone who wants to embrace the challenge of self-renewal to contact Gerry and get started right away.

I was in a workout-rut and heard about boot camp at NLF. I came just to try it out. I saw a few INSTANT improvements in my mental and physical health. I figured, if boot camp can is good, then a personal trainer is better. Gerry has been my trainer for nearly 2 years now and with his help, I have seen major results in strength, agility, muscle mass and overall fitness. His exercises are challenging, both to body and mind: they are well planned and still creative. Thanks to this mind/body connection, I'm getting the body I've always dreamed of. Because of NLF and Gerry, I have achieved more than I thought was possible. When I'm asked what gym I go to: of course the answer is NLF.

I started working out with Gerry several months ago and it's was literally transforming overnight. I have always worked out in one way or another. I have been devoted to Pilates and Cross fit for several years but never really seen the gains that I wanted. I've also had a baby in the last 2 years and it's just wasn't as easy as it used to be but is a necessary part of my life. I have 1 hour a day to devote to working out and I want everything I can get out of that. I work out with Gerry 3 days a week and I literally feel sick when I leave from such an intense workout. It's everything I could have ever hoped for and more. He has transformed my body in no time and given me leg and arm muscles I never knew I could have. I feel that I have a really high pain tolerance and he takes me to the edge everytime. I'm 35 years old and I don't think I've felt better or stronger.

I'm writing this while on a 3 week vacation and leaving him was harder than anything. I'm addicted and get so much out of our time together. You know you have a good relationship when you're missing your trainer. But we do. He makes it fun and awful all at the same time and we're a great fit. He understands what I'm looking for and has catered my workouts to that.

My relationship with Gerry Washack can be summarized in to 5 words........"What have you done lately?" That became the theme of every session when I would boast about what a great runner/athlete I used to be, albeit 25 YEARS AGO! I was completely living in the past and it was Gerry who would remind me that while that was great THEN, what had I done lately? Sound familiar?

With this awareness and the improved strength, endurance, and flexibility I developed over time through weekly sessions with Gerry, I signed up for my first triathlon at Lake Cahuilla. Since that time I have competed in dozens and dozens of triathlons and road races throughout California, often times making the podium as an age division winner (www.athlinks.com). Last year I completed 5 double century bike rides (www.caltriplecrown.com). Yes, that's five 200-mile bike rides and I earned the coveted thousand mile jersey. I qualified for the Boston Marathon in 2009 during the Rock and Roll Las Vegas inaugural event. More importantly, however, I have incredible friendships formed in the fitness community, the Desert Cycle Club, and of course, Next Level Fitness as a direct result of my putting my health needs at the forefront.

People are often afraid to take that first step, to invest the time and the money in themselves and their health. You just can't forsee the world of opportunities that await you, but they are there. Each day at the gym brought me closer to my goals and I truly am appreciative of what Gerry did for me. He isn't going to hand out compliments often, but you will savor them when he does . He will challenge you to be a better, stronger person inside and out, male or female, young or old, regardless of your present fitness condition. I will always thank Gerry for the the lifestyle I enjoy today and it started with just those 5 words!
Sincerely yours,

-Maile
