What’s The Best Advice You Have Ever Received?

One of the best things my good friend Nic Russo, Founder and Strength and Conditioning expert of Per Noi (www.pernoi.ca) said when I asked Him about supplements? Real Food! Good, fresh, healthy meals, fruit and vegetables will always trump meal replacement and supplements, so take the time for real food other than processed wannabes!” His other favorite line is “Never Give Up!! I always tell myself this. Once you start something – finish it! Follow through with all your workouts – no half stepping. Half steps = half gains!!

Testimonials

I started training with Nic about 2 years ago. I have been to many gyms over the past 12 years and being a police officer with the RCMP I think that it is important to maintain a higher state of physical fitness. I have always been one to train hard and be focused but since training with Nic I have become even more focused but also determined to do better. Nic motivates you but doesn’t make you feel like you are an idiot if you can’t do something. He is patient and will take all the time it needs to show you how to perform the exercise properly. Every day is a new workout focusing on different muscle groups or techniques. I find it challenging but also love how it’s never the same thing. I find training with Nic that it pushes me beyond my comfort zone but in a good way. I’m naturally a competitive person and I find the challenges welcoming. Two years ago I was in a situation that pushed me physically and mentally in my job and made me question my physical abilities. Today I don’t question if I would be able to handle myself in that situation as I know now that I would definitely be able to physically and mentally. Training isn’t just about being stronger, faster, leaner, its also mental, whether you are up for pushing yourself harder, more intense and out of your normal comfort zone. Nic reminds us every day that life can throw something at you that you have no idea is coming and asks will you be able to handle it and work through it. The answer is Yes.

I also train to run half marathons and since training with Nic I have knocked 10 minutes off my time. My goal was to run it in 2 hours and I achieved that goal twice last year! Now I want to run under 2 hours and with Nic’s help I know I will be able to obtain that goal. Nic isn’t only a great trainer but he also takes the time to know who you are, what you do, etc. He cares about who you are and that’s a rare trait to find in trainers, that I have found throughout the years.

I would highly recommend anyone to train with Nic as he will take you beyond your comfort zone and push you harder that you think you can go. But in the end it’s totally worth the battle!
