Next Level Fitness

Next Level Fitness is great. This is a dynamite place to get in shape. The owner, Abu Pigott, is excellent and gives you a work-out tailored to your needs and abilities. He is creative so you never have the same work out in any week. He does an initial evaluation which helps him put together a work out just for you. He is also funny and although determined to get you in shape, he doesn't take himself too seriously as some personal trainers do.
Highly recommended!

Though it is there, it is not about the fitness gear. It is about the knowledge of the trainer and their ability to interact with you. Every workout, something new happens. I am delighted with my progress. I am 64, one year out from double bypass surgery, getting stronger, losing weight, improving balance. Couldn't ask for a more caring, qualified trainer. The place is very clean, easy parking, well located. Just a few doors down from the Grand Lake Theater in the Lakeshore District of Oakland..

Next Level has a brand new location at 3234 Grand Avenue, Oakland, 510-465-0978. It is a long standing (10 years) neighborhood gym in the Grand Lake fitness scene. Stop by to see Dr. P.- owner/operator and his friendly, knowledgeable staff, Next Level has a very personal feel. Great free weights, hand towels provided and great prices! The small group training and cardio kick-boxing classes are fantastic. Private changing area, body-work area and cardio-equipment. A great little gym on Grand Avenue that offers what those "big-box" gyms can't - REAL personal service and attention and quality of service. Can't recommend it enough!

I came to Next Level Fitness with my buddy several times. It is a pretty nice place and offers some good machines to help work out your body. The equipment there are close to new with new technology and the weight section is great. They have a great variety to help build muscles and the workers there are very helpful in advice. I'd recommend this place.
