| I started working out when I got engaged and wanted to lose some weight to fit into a smaller sized wedding dress and luckily for me a gym opened up in my area. I went to the gym and started to use the machines and do a little bit of cardio. I did loose weight, like anyone would if they had not been doing any type of regular exercise. I continued working out, and loved the fact that it helped me sleep and relax. However, I started to plateau and was not sure why. I was not losing any weight, in fact I was having trouble containing my weight even though I was working out 6 times a week. I was doing the same thing that made me drop a size or two before........... In August of this year I had my first baby. I was determined to get back to the gym as soon as possible to get rid of the extra pounds. That is when I contacted Nigel to help. I was nervous about getting back to my original fitness level and was really worried about being able to get the results that I wanted. What would I have to do to jump start my body, if 6 days a week was not working? I started working out with Nigel in October. I look back now and laugh at how stupid I was to think that I had any idea about an effective workout. Nigel has quickly taught me the CORRECT way to work out and how to burn fat. He has also taught me that I don't have to work out 6 times a week to get the results that I want. I am not saying that what he puts me through twice a week is EASY, because it is not. What I can say though, is that I have a lot of fun in a very friendly relaxing & motivating atmosphere. Nigel understands my capabilities and limitations and helps me push myself. He remembers things that I like and incorporates them into the work out. The time flys by and we have a lot of fun on a Tuesday and Thursday evening. I cannot believe I didn't start a program like this earlier. Although, if I had, I may not have met Nigel, so I guess what I am trying to say is that I am so glad that I am working out with Nigel.

| Since I started working out with Nigel over a year ago my life has taken a 360 degree turnaround. First of all I was working way too many hours and jeopardizing my health and what for?? You can't enjoy making a lot of money if you're stressed out and aren't taking care of yourself! So the best thing to happen to me was when my doctor told me to get on a fitness program or else. So what did I do?? I joined one of those gyms...got a 'wanna be personal trainer' and didn't see any results! Well, good thing I found Nigel. I still belong to that gym..but I could probably teach that 'wanna be trainer' a thing or two after working out with you! So I want to thank you for helping me to get fit and healthy. Now I'm enjoying life again and seeing the doctor a lot less!! Michael Johnson |
| Thanks for whipping my butt back into shape Nigel! I plan to stick with you as long as possible so I can be around for my grand kids! I really like those kick boxing exercises...helps me work out a sweat and all the stress from the J-O-B. You're the best man!! Jose Martinez |
| The first thing I was looking for in a personal trainer was someone I could trust. Someone that could read my signs and know when to push me harder, yet at the same time knew when I had enough. I also wanted a trainer who is encouraging, practical, and knowledgeable. Nigel meets all of my criteria. When I work out with Nigel I feel confident that he is there to help me accomplish the goals I have set forth for myself. When I get close to ending a set of reps I can hear him calmly remind me that I'm strong enough, I'm able, and almost done. This is most encouraging and extremely helpful. I begin to lose any doubts that cross my mind when I wonder if I am going to be able to finish the set. Nigel has created a unique workout plan. I've never worked out in this type of fashion and I have to admit it is very fun. I have never felt bored doing reps over and over. Things are constantly changing during the workout, and new routines are added constantly to make things more fun. However, I will say that it is a very effective workout. It's not all fun and games, it is hard work. He has come up with creative ways to distract your mind from the actual task at hand. It's awesome. I never imagined I could do half the things he asks of me. It's quite shocking. Nigel keeps a constant eye on my form to make sure I do not injure myself. It's very comforting to know that he truly cares about my well being. The most important thing is the relationship he has created with me. He knows when I want to throw in the towel and he knows just the right thing to say. If I'm ever worried, I can tell him and he will talk me through my self doubt and help me realize that my will is stronger than the self doubt that I somehow manifest. I honestly have to say that Nigel has a slogan on his home page of his website saying "If you come to me as a client I will always give you value for money and train you to the best of my ability and help you bring the best out of yourself." I can assure you that Nigel's promise is 100% accurate and you will not be disappointed. If you are worried about the gym atmosphere, let me be the first to tell you that there is no need to fear. It is a small gym with everything you could possibly need and wonderful atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and kind. I highly recommend Nigel to anyone I come in contact with who is interested in a trainer. Nigel…you are the best! Lisa Bonner |
| I first met Nigel through a brief little classified ad offering a great workout at an affordable rate. I had no idea what to expect, but this lucky connection would turn out to be the best exercise experience of my life. Nigel has been the only physical trainer I've ever worked with who has showed equal parts positivity and respect for his client, never letting me slack off but likewise never pushing me too hard. My previous experience with trainers from corporate gyms was cold and offensive, people interested just in taking my money and giving me the usual low level of attention. Nigel is never like that -- he takes time out to pay attention to my progress, think up new and interesting exercises, and make sure my workout is enjoyable. I've turned my friends on to working out with Nigel, and they love it too. All in all, I can't recommend him highly enough. Whether you're looking for your first time exercise experience, or an Olympic-level workout devised to push your limits, you've got to give Nigel a try. Ari Neubauer |
I have joined at least 10 fitness clubs in the past and never worked out more than a few times before quitting and just wasting money until my contract was up. I never knew what to do to get the results I needed, was bored by machines and intimidated by unapproachable employees in matching workout gear. I have also owned every piece of exercise equipment you can think of and most become coat racks. Nigel makes working out fun and I can see and feel the improvements I have made. Even as little as one session a week has really changed my life. I have so much more energy and confidence. I look forward every week to working out because we always do something new and fun. Nigel is so supportive and the gym is great as well. The atmosphere is so friendly, relaxed and welcoming. Stacy DeLaurier |
| The decision to start a workout program can be daunting, and even moreso if you decide that you need the help of a trainer. For me, the issue was two-fold: 1) Who will get me the results I so desperately want?; and 2) Who will I be comfortable with? Good luck determining that from a generic advertisement. And I knew that I wanted no part of those large gyms that will typically hire almost anyone off the street as a personal trainer. Plus, they're expensive. So in the midst of this search, my confidence as to finding someone who fit the bill was fairly low. But then I stumbled onto Nigel Taylor's website. After reading about his background and approach to training, I decided to give him a shot. Why? Because he sounded like a good guy, which was one thing I was really hoping to find. And he was experienced, which gave me hope that he might really know what he was doing (not all trainers do, believe me). It was a gut feeling more than anything. But it was the only time in my search that I had felt remotely confident in a prospective trainer, so I signed up and started working out with Nigel. As I sit here a little over three months later, I couldn't be more thankful to have wandered onto Nigel's website. Sometimes these types of testimonials will ring hollow because they sound sappy, but I'm here to tell you that Nigel is an outstanding trainer who will do more than get you into shape. He will also get you feeling good about yourself, and more confident about the changes you are capable of making. His program is positive, and he constantly adapts it to make sure that you are getting as much benefit as possible. But above all else, Nigel's program is EFFECTIVE. It works, plain and simple. I've lost over 20 pounds already, and anticipate losing a lot more over the coming months. Nigel is also very supportive, and he understands that people lead busy lives, and he will work with your schedule. I consider Nigel a friend, and I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone.
