Review from Jackie C.
Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

I have been overweight and exhausted most of my adult life. When walking up a hill with my dog became a hassle, I started looking for a place to workout. I really wanted a personal trainer, but had had 2 REALLY bad experiences, even being hurt during one session. I also wanted someone very local, with a large variety of hours, flexibility, and real knowledge.
I started talking to people. Eileen in the office of the apartment complex told me about Nik. She gave me his card and a slip of paper for 14 days free. Wow! A local (in the same complex!) with a free 2 weeks! I could not wait to start!
Before the 14 days were up, I signed a contract. Why? Because Nik is AWESOME! He worked step by step to start to repair years and years of incorrect posture that, without me knowing, was the cause of tons of my pain!
When I think "I cannot do any more" he lets me know I can. And, I feel great once I do! Nik is a wonderful motivator! He cares about my progress and has helped me feel better about myself. He works with me to design exercises the will help strengthen every part of me.
I have had great results! In just one month, I was able to climb that same hill without being out of breathe. I could walk faster and remain pain free :)
Most of my pain was gone! I was down 1 dress size! In a MONTH!
Nik incorporates healthy eating into his training as well. He has talked to me about alternatives to foods and has helped me find quick, easy, and healthy alternatives to breakfast.
I feel so much better since taking the first step and joining Ambition Fitness and finding Nik as a trainer! All the hard work and dedication are so worth the wonderful results!
THANKS NIK! -

Nik is as good as it gets! You want results, go the Nik way! I started working out with him 4 years ago and the man knows how to train! By training, I don't mean only giving you a list of workouts but seriously focusing on the client, not only exercises, but also teaching you a winning mentality. Ambition Fitness is a direct example of the knowledge and the passion that Nik has for fitness. It challenges you to give your best and his classes give your RESULTS. I have seen way too many trainers out there, giving clients a list of things to do but never paying so much attention.
Nik and Ambition fitness are the real deal! If you don't believe me, just try out one of his classes! They will change your approach to workouts and healthy lifestyle! -

I started working out with Nik almost 3 years ago. I absolutely loved the boot camps on the beach - the sand took the difficulty of the workout to a whole new level, yet the serenity of the ocean was a great balance. I quickly noticed a drastic improvement in my fitness level while working with Nik - I felt stronger almost immediately and nothing compares to the feeling you get after completing a challenging workout that you never thought you were capable of before you had Nik there to push you a little bit further.
One of my favorite add-ons to Nik's Boot Camps were the shopping trips. Nik provided excellent guidance to help me start making better choices in my diet that would yeild results even faster. I have learned so much from him and would recommend Ambition Fitness to anyone who is ready to start a fitness program, or take their current program to the next level.
Last but not least, Nik suggested food allergy testing to take your diet to the next level and find out if there are any foods that might be preventing you from reaching your personal goals. I just got my results back about a month ago. I'm not going to say it's been easy to make the changes recommended by the allergy testing, but I've never felt better! -

I have only the highest praise for Nik, and his team at Ambition Fitness! He is an amazing trainer and person, helping his clients stay motivated and on track. His energy and positive attitude provide continual inspiration and support. After just a few months, he helped me lower my blood pressure & cholesterol. But more importantly I went from being pre-diabetic to healthy & strong!

History
Established in 2007
Ambition Fitness is a fitness and nutrition coaching practice that has been serving the South Bay since 2007. It's founder, Nik Herold, created Ambition Fitness out of a growing frustration he sees on a daily basis: health clubs are not helping their clients reach their goals. More specifically, they aren't providing people with PERMANENT solutions for a fit and healthy body. Our training style can be summed up in two words: positive encouragement.
We keep things simple and straightforward: there are no crash diets, there are no fads. Our workouts are easy to follow and fun, yet we always find a way to push you further than you thought you could go. We take a one-on-one approach unique to each person so that we can help you reach each of your fitness goals!
Our work has been featured on The Doctors, ESPN, NBC's Today Show and NBC's Biggest Loser. The Daily Breeze also voted us the #1 bootcamp in the South Bay in 2010.
