Let's be honest here, we're all a little hesitant when it comes to forking out 50 or more bucks per session with someone who is suppose to "whip" us into shape! I know I am. What is it that they can tell me to do that I don't already know how to do? .... A LOT! For someone who went to the gym consistently, saw progress but not the kind of progress I was aiming for, it was a real downer. So when the opportunity came for me to be able to work with Q, I took it! I came in and first he kind of let me do my own work out. I thought... "what is this?" He watched me as I did some lat pulldowns. I did like 6 reps and he stopped me. My first thought, "he's going to tell me I'm doing it wrong"... typical, what most trainers do... but ... NO!!!! He showed me how to correctly position my back, the depth I should be pulling down as well as the speed and WHY... this was so important to me, and should be what you want in a trainer. You should always want to know why you're doing something! Q wants you to learn. He wants you to learn how to move and form correctly so that one, you don't injure yourself, two, you get the most out of your workout and see the results, and three, so that you won't need him again! Wow! What kind of honesty is this!? This really blew my mind. The goal is to get you to your goal plus knowledge on how to continue your progression Knowing that he really wanted to help me reach my goals by teaching me rather than telling me what to do made all the difference. Although I had some pride about how to lift some weights, he was very professional in his approach in teaching me how to do it properly. This was another thing, He did not belittle me, or make me feel dumb for doing things wrong. He made me feel comfortable while working a sweat! If you're looking for someone who you want to just put you through a workout, I guess it doesn't matter which trainer you go to, but if you're really looking to change yourself and learn why you're doing what your doing , I would highly recommend Q. The question that he asked me that I'll probably always remember is " do want to lose weight or do you want to look like you lost weight?" now I never thought about it, but they are two completely different things. He can definitely help you achieve either one, but I chose the later. I wanted to look like I lost weight. So here I am, 5'2 at 163lbs, stronger, healthier and loving it!!! read more

Q is an awesome trainer. I worked with him for 60 days and dropped 7% body fat, lost about 15 lbs of fat and gain about 5 lbs of muscle. His app made it easy to follow my macro goals. He is dedicated to his clients. He was organized with his schedule and would accommodate as much as possible. He was always available to answer my questions. My work outs were always fun and effective. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a fitness coach. read more

I've been training with Coach Nick @Quayfit for almost 3 months and so far my progress has been amazing. Coach Nick is the type of trainer that will push to the very last drop of sweat in you. Without his help, guidance, motivation and most important dedication he provides with all of his clients, I would have not been able to achieve the outcome I have today in very little time. I'm inspired and motivated to keep on going with my training. I recommend Coach Nick and the rest of the trainers at Quayfit without hesitation! YEYSI C. South Pasadena, CA read more

I started interning with QuayFit about a month ago and have already learned so much about personal training and also how to genuinely help the client. He is always supportive and honest with you and wants to genuinely help people. While interning I've noticed that his clients really love working with him and they understand the process. I think this is so important when it comes to the client knowing that they can achieve something and they need to be pushed further. I know that Q cares about this. Q is a very smart individual and if you want to go further in the workouts, then yes he can help you do that. Whatever you want to improve on, flexibility, strength, endurance, muscle size, muscle definition -- its all possible. Not to mention these facilities (in my opinion) are second to none. I absolutely love gyms that have the layout of a Cross Fit gym, but they are a normal training gym. The platforms are of GREAT use and also, the grass turf are great. I am excited for my future with QuayFit and also excited to see what I can learn. read more

Q, is nothing short of what a phenomenal personal trainer should be. A) He's Personal - He has an infectious personality. Personal training starts with personal for a reason. I've been working with Q for the last 4 months, and he's attentive, encourages asking questions, and stays in the here and now when we are in our sessions. B) Hands-On Training - Personal trainers I worked with in the past guide their clients through a workout. Not Q, he's hands-on. He'll work with you, sometimes workout with you, but, most importantly keep the focus on you; from your form, to how to build good muscle memory to what you should seek out of each type of workout based on how you operate and what your goals are. The point is he's about 'YOU'. If you are going to ask someone for help, it's great to know that they are using their talents to help 'YOU'. C) True Professional - This guy takes his craft seriously, he's studied and really understands the body from workouts to meal plans. He's a teacher in that he shares what he knows and helps you understand what your body is going through from a scientific and human perspective in context of you. He's also a student in that he's always willing to learn and answer your questions if you bring something to his attention that you heard or that you've seen. When I first met him I came in with preconceived notions of fitness, didn't look forward to coming to the gym unless it was doing an exercise I could do, and an attitude of comparing myself to others in the gym. Now, I'm excited to come to the gym, I'm learning fitness is a lifestyle not a goal to be achieved, my goal is to be better than I was yesterday, and I have had hell of fun doing so. I'd recommend Quayfit anybody hands down. read more

I could not have asked for a better trainer in Q! We have trained together for the past 3 months and if I could, I'd train with him every day. I chose to enlist the help of a trainer to get myself used to going to the gym again. I have always dreaded working out but mostly because I was never really sure about what made sense for my body type and goals. With Q's help, I have been able to revamp my diet, increase the frequency of my meals, and improve the effectiveness of my workouts. He is always available and ready to offer support. He is super knowledgeable about meal planning and is able to adapt very well to a broad range of clients. Be warned, Q is an awesome guy and will make sure your sessions are entertaining but he will push you to work harder than you ever thought possible. The silver lining to all the hard work is that I now look forward to workouts, solo or with Q. read more

A wealth of knowledge in training and nutrition, supportive and motivating all tied together with professionalism and fun is how I describe the personal training style of Q. Having been use to the more franchised look and feel of a gym I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw machines and stations of this gym. My main thought was I'll stick to this treadmill because everywhere else looked daunting! However, Q introduced me to new techniques that challenged me and allowed me to push myself beyond what I thought I could do. What I appreciated most was the specific tailoring of my workouts based on what I was looking to accomplished (he also threw in some other stuff too!). At the end I felt healthier than I had in years and lost weight and INCHES. Another thing I liked, even though it was tough sometimes, was him learning my thresholds so he would know when to push me more and when to ease up. That is something I had not experienced before with previous trainers. With previous trainers it was a specific set of regimented routines, same amount of sets, etc. With Q I was able to increase my endurance, stamina and strength beyond what I thought I could achieve. Many were the days when I told him... "Ummmm, I can't do that" or "I can't lift that" but each time I surprised myself by meeting what he had set!! (and he sets the bar high...and sometimes heavy!) That is what is needed in a trainer. Someone that can learn you and know how to push you. That is exactly what he did, even through occasional issues I had with my knee from a previous injury. Lastly, I can say that although often times I left with legs quivering, arms and shoulders soar, abs screaming...I did have fun because he made it fun. I would highly recommend Q, just put your game face on!! read more

10/10 would recommend. Keeps you on your toes. Doesn't go easy on you. You feel great after getting through a session. He's also very flexible with booking appts. Money well spent!!! (Also very cute so have something to admire while you're in pain) read more

This guy knows his stuff. I've been an online client of his for a while now and I've seen so much progress with the custom meal and workout plans he has given me. I got the opportunity to finally meet him in person a couple of weeks ago when he came to Chicago and get a one on one training session at my gym, and let me tell you, I could not lift my arms the following day! Best workout ever hands down! If you want real results this is the Trainer you need. read more

Coach Q as my son calls him... Q has worked with my son on his qb skills. Q has done an amazing job. Very detail oriented... he just knows how to make things work. Size being a factor, Q has made it a non factor, developing his high release without sacrificing arm strength. I thought he already had good footwork, Q took it to another level... A+ recommendation, you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Q has been an amazing addition to my health and wellness routine! He offers around the clock care to his clients, including messaging them when he sees that they are screwing up their nutrition plan! (I have definitely experienced this once or twice lol) He is always posting fitness tips and updating his app which allows him to keep in constant communication with his clients. It's not everyday you hire a trainer that cares so much about the client rather than the money! I will be moving out of state next year and don't know what I'm going to do without Q, but I'm sure with his online training it won't be hard to upkeep! I'm sure we will still be messaging from states away arguing about not drinking wine nor eating cake -___- Run through orientation with Q and you will not be disappointed! He is THE best! (-: read more

I started training with Quay about 4 months ago. I was always busy so was not training consistently. However, I have noticed my body change after just a couple of sessions training with him with no discomfort in my body whatsoever! His use different techniques targeting my training needs.

QuayFit - This was taken when I was on biz trip after 3 sessions training with Quay. I had been training alone before him, but he helped a lot! - Trainers Near Me - Pasadena, California

Working out with Q and Nick has been amazing, they provide support that I need to keep me motivated so that I can reaching my goals. Q provides a one on one training that will target what you want to focus on, before working out with Q I wasn't sure if I was doing certain work out properly, but once he showed me how to do them correctly, oh boy do I feel the muscles activating. If you do not like working out alone I recommend workout out with Nick he does a group work out at the rose bowl every Tuesday & Thursday night at 7:30 pm, along with a hike on Saturday and another group work out on Sunday at a different location. Working with Nick is a ton of fun, very positive, keeps us laughing while he is giving us a great workout. Met a lot of awesome people on this journey, I would recommend any of the trainers of QuayFit without hesitation. They keep me on track and with the Quayfit app, keeping me reliable on what I eat and if I cheat it will show, I have come a long way to get where I am at and I am grateful for the support that I get from the Quayfit team and with them, I won't give up. read more

Quay has been the best trainer I've had. Friendly, corrects form, listens to requests, modifies exercises as needed. Very reasonable pricing. Obviously a million times better than chain gym training. read more

I have been training with Q for about a month and half. He trains me alongside my buddy. To describe our relationship is like a big brother that bullies you. I once told him "there is a special place in hell for you". He is tough, he will push you to your limit, and he may even make you barf (a little). However, that is what is necessary to see results. I tend to indulge in wine, beer and whiskey quite often. Even with that vice I am still seeing results! read more

Q is awesome! I've been training with him for about half years. He is really patient and professional when he teaches his clients. For me, having patience is very important for being a good trainer. He also is fun and friendly. I had a great experience to train with him. Highly recommend. read more

Quay is the absolute best! Training with Quay really helped me gain insight into training, weight loss, nutrition and an overall healthier lifestyle. He will push you even when you want to give up because he believes in you. When you leave Quay, you will have the necessary tools to train on your own and reach the goals you've set for yourself. 10/10 would recommend, train with Quay today!!! read more

Excellent trainer. Before my girlfriend and I started training with Squash earlier this year, I had gone through several very painful, disabling workout injuries to my lower back while doing Crossfit about two years ago. Each time I needed to go to a chiropractor to be able to function again, and was thinking that working out was just not worth the risk. I had another trainer before Squash but he avoided this issue by not having me do any back exercises other than the bare minimum. I avoided injury, but my back was not getting stronger. Squash knew how to make my back stronger and more resistant without pushing it past its limit, as happened at Crossfit. The first few weeks with Squash (exercising 1X a week with Squash, and 2-3 times light exercise at the gym), my back was quite sore, which worried me. But it never got to the point where I could not function. Five days later after working out with Squash it felt fine and ready for a new round of exercise. Squash has put us through some pretty tough, demanding exercises, but none has hyper-extended my back while handling weights, as happened at Crossfit. My back got stronger and no longer feels sore after our training. For me, this is a great breakthrough. Squash knew my limits and extended them, without causing injury, Other great things about Squash -- he's always on time, has an easygoing personality that puts you at ease while still making you workout tougher than you thought possible, extending your physical and mental limits, and he's very knowledgeable about training and nutrition. My girlfriend was new to training and normally hates going to the gym. She now seems to enjoy working out, even while complaining, and even bought a pair of weight gloves, which is the last thing she would've done before. So both of us have had major breakthroughs thanks to Squash. read more

Q is awesome and the right fit for me. I've been training with him off and on (when my schedule isn't completely nuts) for nearly one year. He consistently stays on top of my intentions, meal plans, other workouts, etc. so that we can meet my goals. I arrive with the intention of working hard, not complaining, and at least attempting each routine. No workout is ever the same, so I've learned a lot. He's knowledgeable about medical constraints on the body and knows when to stop and/or make adjustments that are still effective. He's never negative and always encourages me to work harder. He is passionate and very serious about getting people into shape and healthy, but we have fun joking around and laughing a lot. That's important to me as well. read more

My friend and I have been training with Q for a few months now. We met with a few trainers before him and felt very lucky to have found him. He is a great trainer and we have already seen results. Q keeps us laughing even when we've reached our breaking points. His work outs are tough and he keeps you in check with your diet. He's basically everything you want in a trainer and we would recommend him to anyone! read more

As an experienced lifter and physical therapist, I was impressed by Q's knowledge of form and corrective techniques. He was able to point out my weaker areas and dominant muscle use and gave exercises to counteract that. Highly recommend. read more

QuayFit is perfect if you're looking for a personal trainer. I wanted to lose body fat and tone up. Q set up a whole workout plan for me in the gym and what I needed to do on my own. He also helped create a healthy diet to fit into my daily routines. I saw results within a month that I didn't think were possible. Thanks for all the help Q! read more

One week in and I'm already seeing results! During our initial consultation, Q listened to my goals, schedule and lifestyle to customize a plan for me. He is clearly very knowledgable in both fitness and nutrition! The nutrition plan he suggested has been so easy to adapt to! Q is also very approachable and makes you feel so comfortable. I had not been in a gym in years, but I was not intimidated by the gym or our future training sessions by the time I left my first visit. What also makes Quayfit even more amazing tho, is the ever present support. He is there to guide you in between sessions with nutrition advice/critique and at home suggestions! I've lost 3 pounds in the first week alone! I am very excited to see what the next few weeks will bring. read more

Hands down the best personal training you will ever receive! Literally haaaaaaated working out but Q is so knowledgeable and such an amazing motivator that I actually look forward to it now. Sounds super cliche but the guy knows his stuff and knows how to properly customize workouts for different body types and levels. If you're not sure what you should be doing in the gym hit up Q you won't be disappointed. read more

Quay is by far one of the best trainers I have worked with. He consistently switches up our routines so I never get bored with the same work outs over and over. He cares about your goals and makes sure he does whatever he can to help you achieve them. He has pushed me harder than I could ever have pushed myself and has also taught me things I never knew my body was capable of! When I want to give up, he never lets me. I have recommend Quay to all of my friends, family and coworkers! He's definitely one of the best trainers out there! read more

Coach Q (I call him coach) is an extraordinary trainer. He's prompt, professional and friendly. His workout regimen is specifically designed for each client which is effective considering the decrease in body fat in such a short period of time. He understands my goals both physically and nutritionally. He is highly recommended read more

I've trained with Q several times, and he brings the best out of me each and every session, making sure to always explain everything in detail to me and remind me to keep good form for every rep of every set! Not only that, but he is a kind, honest guy who truly cares about his clients, and I would recommend him to anyone interested in working with a personal trainer. read more

What can I say about Q, as a personal trainer that my sister hasn't already stated? For me weight lost has been a difficult journey. I have lost weight on my own either at the gym (not sure what machine to use or the different type of work out), and with other trainer in the past, but I have seen quicker results with Q in the short amount of time that my sister and I have been working out. 3 months I have lost 2 inches off my waist, hip, chest and thighs,and a few pound(not sure the exact amount) it is pretty awesome. Food is the biggest issue I have with trying to lose weight. Q create a meal plan for you (that you would need to prepare yourself). Letting you know how much protein, fat, carbs and veggies that your body actually need for each meal. When I prepare my meal for the week, the portion is smaller than what I am used to but I feel full and satisfy not as hungry after ever meal. I am not over eating. The best part is that we are allowed to have a cheat meal and cheat day per week so I still get to eat the food I love every once in a while (Sushi, KBBQ, Tacos, Mulitas, Pizza & French Fries, what every i am craving). I don't get to eat it as often as I used to but I also don't have to cut them out of my life. He doesn't let me give up on myself, he give me the right amount of motivation that I lack. Even though I complain A LOT! 0:] . I find myself getting excited for our training session because I know I will be getting a great work out! It is a love/hate relationship I have with the soreness but I can't blame that on Q. The way my body cries aka sweat and the soreness I feel lets me know that I am on my way to reaching my weight lost goals, I am able to change my lifestyle to eating healthier and becoming fit, has been a lot easier to do with Q and my sister. read more

It took a lot for me to finally get into a gym let alone work with a Trainer.I am a single mother of 2 and I lead a very busy life. But let me tell you once I started to train with Q I was hooked! He's extremely professional and easy to work with. Most importantly I feel great!!!! read more

I'm a professional runner and I am training to make an Olympic/World Championships teams. I found Quay on Instagram and saw that he worked with athletes. I've worked with a few strength coaches so I knew what I was looking for and what I needed to take my training to the next level. I expressed my goals to Quay and he knew exactly what I needed to make me a better athlete. Quay is very professional, motivating and personable. Our training sessions are intense and fun at the same time. He holds me accountable which I believe everyone needs when they have big goals they are striving to reach weather you're and athlete or looking to lose weight. I've been training with him for about 3 weeks and I am already noticing a difference in my training on the track. Quay is awesome read more

Quay pushes me hard but not more than I can do. He is attentive to form and posture (awesome!). You'd be lucky to work with him!

So I've been going to 24 hrs gym on my own but I never really got the results I truly wanted, I looked up these guys and gave it a try, I've been Rollin wit Q as my trainer and I have to say I love it, he truly cares about his clients goals and aside from telling you what to do he's there counting your reps making sure your technique is right. Plus he a cool as dude. Highly recommended read more

I trained with Q for over a 2 year period. I had worked with various personal trainers in the past, but after training with him for just a couple of weeks, I knew that I had made the right decision. He is a very detailed trainer that focuses on technique and making sure that you get the most out of your workouts. The training plan he developed for me included a very detailed workout circuit for each session. The workouts were intense but I certainly appreciated the results. Q had me do a range of exercises from TRX to free weights to machines to bodyweight exercises, with more challenging workouts as I made progress. The training plan was customized to meet my fitness goals. I reached my targeted body weight, lost body fat and achieved immeasurable health benefits. Q was instrumental in starting me on my journey to transform my life through fitness. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a personal trainer that's goal-oriented and results driven. It certainly was one of the best decisions of my life. read more
