Studio Owners“Our family has always been involved in the health, fitness, and sports world and has been exposed to every type of fitness concept available. The same sibling rivalry and competitive mindset that produced 4 brothers playing in the NFL, 1 playing in the MLB, and a 4X Super Bowl Champion also resulted in a family with the best understanding of fitness businesses. When we got to know the NexGen Fitness concept, mission, franchisee support, and proprietary processes that make it unique, opening a studio in our hometown was an easy decision for our family. NexGen’s unique approach to fitness in private training suites and completely custom, individualized programs is something that we not only wanted to bring home but also knew would be a good workout for our individual needs. We are excited to join with NexGen to change lives in our Buffalo, NY studio.”

Studio Owner“When I was first introduced to NexGen Fitness the energy was infectious and I went in to try a workout. I have experienced just about every kind of workout imaginable due to my professional basketball career, and I absolutely loved the workouts NexGen trainers took me through using the NexGen Fitness methods. I not only aligned with the workout, but I also aligned with NexGen’s focus to serve others. I love the individualized approach to training, where plans are developed to help each client reach their goals. Everyone at NexGen goes above and beyond to ensure not only each client is successful, but that each studio owner is successful as well! It is a true honor to be a part of the NexGen family, where countless lives are being impacted for the better!”

“I joined NexGen Fitness as a Personal Trainer in October of 2014, and immediately knew I found something special. I had worked in other fitness concepts before, but never somewhere that allowed for success of both clients and staff like NexGen did. Over the years I grew to really love NexGen’s mission and how they did business. I had a newfound passion for fitness and helping people, that motivated me to work my way up from trainer, to managing a studio, and now owning a franchise location in McKinney, TX. I get to impact lives every day and embrace my passion and entrepreneurial side as well.”
