Next Level Coaching and Fitness (www.NLC.fitness) is the brain-child of Nick Kempen, a Miami-based health and fitness coach who has over 15-years of experience in the areas of fitness, nutrition and lifecycle coaching. Nick provides one-on-one and on-line training, as well as nutritional assistance. His website says, ‘my goal is to coach my clients in helping them change and improve their lifestyle through health and fitness’.
In full disclosure, Nick has been my personal trainer for about the past 7 years and I can say that at age 61, I am in the best shape of my life. He understands my goals and tailors my workouts to help me achieve them. My goals are to stay fit, keep my weight under control and try to eat healthier. I have an arthritic hip due primarily to tennis and Nick gives me exercises that keep the muscles in that area strong to minimize injury and help stem constant aggravation. Nick is good at listening to my complaints about aches and pains but doesn’t let me cheat in my workouts with him. He adjusts my routines to my needs and continually advises and checks in with me between workouts about my diet and other lifestyle fitness issues – I really like to run but is that good for my hip?, I really like Key Lime Pie so can I have a piece this week?, what can I do in between workouts for continued improvements?
Nick, originally from Illinois, has been in Miami for over ten years. He knows Miami well and is a good ambassador. He also carries about a dozen certifications that prove his dedication and knowledge.
So go to the Next Level Coaching website and sign up for either an in-person one-on-one training session or an online session with access to exercise videos. Nick also holds a Saturday morning boot camp at Cure Fitness (www.cure-fitness.com) at 1800 SW 1st Avenue in the Brickell area of Miami at 8am. It only costs $20 per session and is a great way to start the weekend.
“What seems impossible today will soon become your warm-up’, Nick says.
