Testimonials


  I have worked with a lot of world class in my professional career and Nick is definitely one of the best. I am always impressed how passionate he is about his work no matter who he is training.

   I never feel like I waste one second of the hour I spend training with Nick. In one week I saw dramatic results in my conditioning and body. After retiring from the professional women's tennis tour, I felt that I needed to get back in shape and I was having a hard time getting motivated. Nick inspired me to start working out again.

  Nick always pushed me beyond what I think I can do.  I know he is very dedicated to each of his clients and focuses on everyone individually.

  I also recommend him to all the competitive players I coach because I have seen a big difference in their speed and strength after they train with him. - Angelica Gavaldon  http://www.angalo.com/bio/bio.html

     To compete on the professional women's tennis tour requires a combination of strength, speed and flexibility and Nick has helped me to improve in all of these areas. Upper body strength was always something that I needed to improve to compete with the best players in the world. Since I began training with nick is the 1st time I have seen consistent results in that area. I am now strong enough physically to compete against the top players without being overpowered.
 
     Some of the strong points of Nicks training style are that we never waste a minute during workouts…there is not a lot of talking and resting so I get the most out of my time with him. Also Nick is great at changing the workouts each time so we never do the same exercises and the routine is never boring or repetitive. We are constantly working different muscles and body parts to make the most efficient use of our time in the gym. I always leave feeling like I got a lot accomplished and achieved something/got a lot out of my workout. Nick consistently pushes me to new levels of strength and fitness.
 
     I would recommend Nick to anyone looking to improve their strength, fitness and overall health. Whether you are training for a specific sport as is my case or you simply want to get fitter and feel better Nick can help.  I am always impressed by how quickly Nick is able to help his clients to see results and achieve their goals.

"I can honestly say that I ENJOYED having Nick as a personal trainer. He introduced me to new exercises that I had heard about but had stayed away from because in all honesty they scared me. Now with Nick's help, I have overcome my fears and master most exercises.  Nick has shown me routines that work for me and always changes things to keep me on my toes.
With Nick's motivation and training I have seen improvements in my overall muscle tone, strength, and flexibility." -

"I’m a 52 year old woman who does sprint triathlons and I love weight training.  Over the years I’ve had several personal trainers, some more competent than others.  Nick Frade is beyond a shadow of a doubt the most knowledgeable of any of my past trainers and he uses the most modern principles of exercise.  That combined with how he customizes and designs an exciting program that meets my specific needs makes him the perfect choice.   I couldn’t be happier with his performance and plan to use his services on an on-going basis!" - JoEllen M.


 

With Home Based Fitness I have lost 9.5 lbs in 3 weeks and 4 Lbs last week alone!! I am so excited to be working with Nick because he is a great motivator and truly has my best interests at heart. -Trace

 


"Nick Frade is easily the best personal trainer I've ever worked with. Over the course of just a few training sessions with him, I started seeing results. My arms were stronger and toned; my core strength had greatly improved; and Nick always had plenty of exercises up his sleeve to challenge me further. I never got bored, and that's saying a lot for someone like me who doesn't really like to work out. I'd recommend him to anyone." - Chimene M.



Because of Nick, I was able to finish up losing 75 pounds AND I recently competed in my very first duathlon thanks to Nick's tutelage.  Not only does he incorporate great exercise but, he has many tips on a healthy diet.  Nick makes it fun and his personality makes it a joy to work out. - Rafael
 


"Before starting my training with Nick, due to health problems, I could hardly walk more than ¼ mile. Now I can go almost 2 miles. I feel much more energetic. He has made a difference, and I look forward to improving even more.
I highly recommend his services." -

"I didn't know anything about the exercise ball before I trained with Nick, but I knew I was interested in learning how to use it for abdominal exercises on my own at home.  After I trained with Nick a few times, I felt extremely comfortable using the exercise ball to train not only my core, but my entire body. Nick taught me to vary the types of ball exercises in order to keep me in shape during those times when I can't make it to the gym but feel the need to do something at home!" - Felicia L.


"I would be happy to recommend Nick because he knows how to help you get the results you want. He is very knowledgeable about physical fitness and I learned different exercise routines that I plan on using when I work out on my own. We also mixed it up with different workouts to keep it interesting! I am very happy with the results I have gotten, and my strength, stamina and flexibility have all increased!" -Mario Silva


"I need to thank Nick so much for pushing me that extra step in my training sessions. I really feel like I am learning more and more every time we meet." - Angela M.
