Portland Personal Training and Weight Loss LLC

Working out with Nick at Portland Personal Training has been the best thing I’ve ever done for my health and fitness. He provided personal attention from the very beginning, learning about about my physical and mental limitations and giving me the guidance to overcome them. Nick also understands real life. He wasn’t a dictator about my schedule or what I ate but he provided me with positive encouragement to make good decisions and gave me strategies to balance my social life, and my love of bar food, with my fitness goals. As I got stronger and more fit, he continued to challenge me so that I would continue to see results. He never got lazy so I wouldn’t get lazy. There’s no doubt that I had to be committed to doing the work but his support and guidance helped me be successful with the grand plan.

These guys are legit. They really know their stuff. I was having such a difficult time losing weight. I was getting sick all the time and just feeling tired and blah. I decided I really needed to get some motivation to turn things around. I hired Khino as my personal trainer and since then my life has changed. He gave me a nutrition plan that was not difficult to follow, and has guided me to make adjustments where needed or introduce some healthy food options that could fulfill my cravings. My training sessions are very challenging but also fun! I leave my workouts feeling awesome.
Since then I’ve adopted a new way of life. I’m eating healthier, feeling stronger, I’m not getting sick anymore, and I’ve been able to completely get rid of my allergy medication (which I was taking daily). I’m pretty shocked about the latter because I’ve been taking allergy medication for the last several years. I’d say it’s also pretttty awesome that I’ve lost 25 pounds and gone down several sizes in my clothes in 2.5 months.

Nick, Khino and the rest of the team at Portland Personal Training are outstanding. They are patient and persistence while keeping you on point to achieve YOUR goals. If you have ever been intimidated or uncomfortable by other trainers rest assured it won’t happen here. They are a cohesive team who deliver significant results.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Khino and couldn’t be happier with the results. I have the body I’ve always wanted and am more motivated than ever!

I’ve been working with Nick for only two months and I’m losing weight, gaining muscle, and I’ve got so much more stamina at the gym and in life. I’m also down two pants sizes! My doctor has been telling me that I need additional medications to manage type 2 diabetes. This week I found out that my A1C (diabetic blood sugar average) has gone from 11.4 (under-​medicated and scary) to 6.6 (unexpectedly awesome). Now my doctor says to keep doing what I’m doing! And that will be keeping Nick as my personal trainer for the long term.
I highly recommend PPTWL for all of your fitness and weight loss goals. Nick offers just the right balance with a touch of compassion. Remember your favorite teacher, the one who made you want to succeed? That’s Nick. He’s got the people skills to keep you motivated and the experience to help you get your body where you want it to be.

I have worked with Nick for over 5 years now and I can’t say enough good things. He tailors workouts to his clients and is great at changing things up as my circumstances change. He pushes me without being a drill sargent. He’s sympathetic to my busy life, but doesn’t let me use that as an excuse to slack off. See where I’m going here? He’s the right balance of tough-​minded and soft-​hearted. You can’t go wrong with Portland Personal Training & Weight Loss.

I signed up for a free session with Nick requesting mainly my body fat composition stats. I’ve had many experiences with personal trainers and none of them were necessarily bad but I always felt less than impressed. Nick, however, impressed me with his knowledge but even more with his people skills. Trainers, in my experience, have a way of seeing clients as a project, something that needs to be fixed. I don’t feel respected by that mentality. Nick heard my concerns and validated them. I’ll definitely return!
