My name is Paige Stoner, I attended Pottsville Area high school, where Nick and I met and became friends. I am now running professionally for Reebok. I chose to work with Nick because I was tired of doing the same lifting routine I have been doing for years, which I no longer seemed to be benefitting from. Nick introduced me to a new type of program that allows me to tap into and strengthen muscle fibers that typically go unused when I run. I have already seen improvements in my performance since working with Nick and the best part is I'm spending less time in the gym than I was previously, which allows more time for recovery for me in-between runs. Nick's one on one instruction made it easy for me to understand the program and his explanations of why I am doing each exercise made me feel confident in the training. I would absolutely, recommend any athlete looking to take their game to the next level work with Nick. He has done extensive research on all things strength training and optimizing performance and his kind, patient, and motivating demeanor makes him an excellent coach!

My name is Kate Rittenbaugh and I play softball for West Chester University. I took a chance on Nick because I wanted to elevate my training in a new way that is specific to my sport. His services have helped me to create more mobility and power in my movements while finding that one extra degree. The best part about Nick’s service is that he is very welcoming and will go the extra mile for his clients. Nick is very involved and will push you to your best ability. I would definitely recommend Nick’s services to anyone who is looking to elevate their training.

My name is Rueben Livingston and we met through Russ Frantz. I had really bad hip tightness. You’ve helped me tremendously, from mind over matter, and making me able to play pain free. The intensity we go at in training, the energy that is brought from you. I would 10/10 times recommend you to anyone that is in my circle.

My name is Jake Houtz, and I first met Nick Hair at the Next Play Sports Performance Center. I decided to work with Nick in an attempt to gain velocity through his programming. Each and every day in Nick’s program was a competition, not only within yourself but also against others. The numbers in his workout are clearly laid out, with each day an opportunity to improve. Nick also introduced me to isometric training and the benefits of maximally recruiting motor units. The best part of his service was his attentiveness to each client and maximizing their ability to improve based on their individual needs. Nick also took the time to explain the purpose of each of the movements and exercises. I saw a major gain in velocity as a result of training with Nick, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is trying to elevate their game.

My name is Kyle Cincinnati. Nick Hair and I met at a performance facility in Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania. I decided to work with Nick because it was evident during our first meeting that he had a strong understanding of how the body works. He is extremely dedicated to each individual athlete and motivated me to be the best athlete I can be. I am a division 1 college catcher and I came to Nick with the goal of throwing harder. Together we developed a program that best fit my personal goal and current level of fitness. In little to no time, I was seeing increases in my velocity. Nick would explain the science behind everything we did and it would fascinate me. The best part of Nick helping me is that he truly cared about my progress. He never asked for anything in return. He always put the athlete before himself and I respect and appreciate him for that. One of my favorite things about Nick is that he would also get me pumped up on my max days. One a week I would try to beat my personal velocity record and he would make the day exciting and something to look forward to. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone who is serious about advancing in their athletic career.

My name is Sunni Krill, and I met Nick through training at Next Play Sports Performance. I decided to start working with him because I wanted to take my training a step further and really try to reach my full potential and make sure I was training in a way that was the most effective. Nick broke down all the reasons why he had me doing certain training methods, what the results would eventually be, proper form, etc, which helped me understand why he had me doing it, which made me want to keep doing it! I’ve definitely noticed improvements in my strength within the workouts, as well as in softball and cross country since I first started working with Nick. The best part about working with him is definitely his patience and willingness to answer all my questions, even when I can’t fully understand the incredibly knowledgeable answers he gives me, but he’s always willing to answer literally any question and help me reach my athletic goals. I would 100% recommend Nick to any one I know who is looking to focus on their training more, or any other athletes who are dealing with persistent pain, or training plateaus, or want to max out their potential.

My name is Wendy Schuller, and fortunately, I was lucky enough to meet Nick Hair at Next Play Sports. Prior to meeting Nick, I had been suffering with hip pain for about two years and spent thousands of dollars on chiropractors and physical therapy which only provided temporary relief. Orthopedic doctors and x-rays confirmed mild arthritis and suggested infections. Not ready for corticosteroids, I decided to pursue strength training. Since I'm almost 60 years old and not in great shape, I was concerned about injury so finding an experienced strength coach was my goal. I felt a franchised fitness center would not meet my needs since I was looking for expertise and individual attention. At our first meeting I was immediately impressed with Nick's ability to understand and identify the root cause of my hip pain and describe his approach to help alleviate it by using isometric training. We started working together about 4 months ago and I consider it one of the best decisions I have ever made for me. Not only am I almost 100% pain free, but I am noticeably stronger. Nick is an outstanding Personal Trainer, exactly what I was looking for and more. His knowledge of isometric training is impressive and he delivers effective results. Not only does he train me physically, he also educates me to understand the protocol so that I can apply it throughout my daily life. Nick tailors his program around my needs and continues to demonstrate its adaptability as I get stronger and able to do more. Couple his expertise with his passion for fitness training, optimism, and positive energy and you've got yourself an excellent Personal Trainer. I can't say enough good things about Nick and I recommend him to everyone.
