Abu is amazing!! I did personal training at Next Level for a little over two years and in that time I saw a complete body transformation. I gained over 10 lbs of muscle and the confidence to be able to workout on my own safely. Abu is great at accommodating all fitness levels, and adjusting to your level as you progress. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey in the Oakland area!

Next Level Fitness has changed my life for the better! Abu has helped me get back to my pre-baby body and weight but even stronger. He's helped me lose at least 25+ pounds while looking and feeling my best. I've been seeing Abu for almost a year and I truly appreciate his approach to fitness for his clients. He cares about his clients and their longterm success.

I've worked with a few trainers over the years, and Abu is, without a doubt, the most knowledgeable, effective, and fun to work with.
I have a history of injuries, so I really appreciated Abu's beginning assessment. He took time to understand my concerns and my goals. His expertise as a chiropractor and trainer makes it so I'm able to train and not worry as much about reinjury due to his knowledge of the body and focus on form. And, if something where to happen, he'll know how to support me.
Within three months of working with Abu, I was able to do a chin up, and, shortly after that, a pull up! I had pretty much given up on achieving that goal as it's one I've worked on for years to no avail. I am stronger, have more energy, and sleep better since training with Abu.
Also like that he didn't assume weight loss was my goal as most trainers do. And he believes me if I say something hurts/doesn't feel right--and sometimes notices before I say anything. I wish this were more common amongst trainers, but, sadly, that's not been my experience.
Abu has helped me have a healthier relationship with my body--I now have a lot more gratitude for what my body is capable of and feel proud of what I'm learning to do.
Really couldn't ask for a better trainer. If you're looking for one--go see Abu!

Abu is amazing - I was a client for a year and a half and he really helped motivate me and guide me through my fitness and weight loss goals. Rates are definitely affordable compared to a trainer at a gym where you have to pay membership fees on top of trainer fees. He had a great way to keep track of your progress, and he sets up a great weekly workout plan for you. Sessions with him usually go by so quickly he always keeps you entertained cracking jokes and singing along to his music. Unfortunately I moved out of town, he will be truly missed and very hard to replace! Would highly recommend.

Abu is an excellent and patient trainer. He has a positive, encouraging personality and clearly practices what he preaches.
The workouts are thoughtful and responsive to my needs. They vary each time and I have never found myself bored or felt it was getting repetitive. I have seen rapid progression in strength and overall fitness. The pricing is fair and I appreciate the membership package which allows for use of the equipment during dedicated times outside of the personal training blocks. I also work out with my partner and appreciate Abu being able to accommodate us training at the same time.
The space has ample light and air circulation. It is equipped with a squat rack and free weights allowing training to fully incorporate strength training. The space out front of his studio is also not heavily trafficked allowing for certain parts of the workout to be done outside which can be a nice break depending on the weather.
I highly encourage anyone interested in improving their physical fitness to look into training at next level fitness.
