  I initially joined Nxtep to get a better grip on my fitness levels after yo-yoing for years with sporadic classes and runs. It was an excellent decision as the sessions are three times a week which quickly got me in a good rhythm. Chris and Luca are both fantastic and very patient with a newbie like myself who had never lifted weights before. They have really helped me understand fitness and weight lifting a lot better. They also adjusted any exercises based on my capabilities as I had an injured shoulder for a while, and with the rehab exercises they gave me that’s now back to normal. I can’t recommend Nxtep enough!

  I've been working with the guys at Nxtep for about a year now; I originally joined thinking it would be a short-term thing to lose weight for my wedding. A year later and I'm married, 12kg lighter than when I first started, lifting much heavier weights and am in much better shape in general. Chris and Luca have been amazing with my training; they always challenge me to try new things and to push further, which is really helpful for someone who's training has always seemed to plateau in the past. They've also taught me about health and fitness as a lifestyle; there's so much more to it than lifting some weights or constantly being on a diet, and they always keep things new, fun and flexible. They're also really helpful and approachable guys; I've messaged them lots of times to ask for training tips and advice when I'm going to the gym outside of training hours, and they're always more than happy to help.

  I first met Chris in January 2020. I was 12 weeks pregnant with my first child. As a trained dancer, and teacher I was hoping to maintain my levels of fitness whilst minimising the risks of my pregnancy. My early dance training concentrated on training my limbs, while often neglecting my ‘centre’ or ‘core’. It wasn’t until a back injury in 2012 due to weak lower back muscles that my approach to training changed. When I first found out about my pregnancy, I worried about my back and how to keep it strong. Chris helped me through my pregnancy teaching me safe ways of keeping my core strong, helping with my postural alignment as well as addressing some muscular imbalances that I wasn’t aware I had. Most importantly, Chris gave me the confidence to continue training through pregnancy. I knew I was in safe hands. Chris is phenomenally knowledgeable in how our bodies work. May 2022, I am currently pregnant with my second child and still continuing to train with Chris at Nxtep. Luca has also joined the team and is a fantastic addition. They are a great team, and I am very lucky to be trained by them both. I would highly recommend anyone thinking about pre or post natal pregnancy training to consider Nxtep.

  Before starting at Nxtep I would go through a cycle of starting to get fit, injuring my back, then avoiding exercise for fear of making it worse. The same happened when I started here, with my over eagerness to improve leading to the same old injury. Chris and Luca kept me motivated and coached me through the recovery process, allowing me to strengthen the areas susceptible to injury and enabling me to carry on where I’d previously have given up. Now I’m lifting ~100kg more than when I first started and the past few years of persistent back injury seem a distant memory. The guys have helped me with my nutrition, my outlook and overcoming what I previously thought I couldn’t. I can’t thank them both enough!

  I’ve been working with Chris and the team at Nxtep, and the initially just wanted to get stronger and fitter somewhere local when the gym near work was no longer an option due to the pandemic. I know feel really confident handling weights and my diet. I recently saw myself in a film from before I started at Nxtep and other people couldn’t recognise me from me who didn’t know me well so, it definitely works! Highly recommended.

  Training at Nxtep during Covid was tricky but Chris and Luca made it work! Started with training outdoors in the carpark before we were allowed to move indoors, it was always fun and I feel I made real progress. It never felt just like a business and always felt more caring, I was also doing it as part of my DofE to which Luca/Chris were very helpful with. I've had to stop due to other focuses in life but I've got some real fond memories of the time and am hoping to go back later if I can!

  I joined Nxtep 3 months ago, having initially walked into the studio feeling crippled from tennis overload. My legs had given up on me during playing and with a long standing ankle injury, I knew I had to address. Additionally I was carrying too much weight and my gym techniques were clearly not fit for purpose. I had been a gym member for 15 years prior. Following a very warm introduction about the business and how they operate, I was invited for a taster session with Chris. It is a one-to-one personal training studio, so a one in & one out policy. This is one of the first elements that differentiates them from personal trainers in a public gym setting - where there are distractions everywhere. I have had PT in the past and whilst I got benefit from it, the pure depth that Nxtep offers is another level. Granted you pay a little more for the service but it yields unparalleled qualitative benefits that you can only see and feel when you are there... The offering includes regular group communications, a dedicated Youtube channel, personal motivation messages and checkins, food menu planners, personalised macro-level split for protein/carb/fat intake, live weekly cook alongs from the owners kitchen, online weekly group sessions, and one of the features I like the most is the technology. Nxtep have an application that synchronises from all the most popular training applications like MyfitnessPal and Fitbit so sleep, weight and metrics etc are all captured into one "Hub". Chris and Luca are highly personable, experts in their fields and the passion truly shows. These are not just fluffy words. I work very closely with Luca due to my love of tennis and his particular expertise covers my love for the sport. New home training programmes are also uploaded to the Nxtep app in 4 weekly cycles so there is a constant challenge to grow and evolve. I am learning advanced techniques and stretching my body with core and mobility work. Luca is a scientific guru and during training explains all aspects about the relationship within the body, not just the correct movements and posturing. I might even be able to do the 'splits' soon if I continue at this rate ... !
