Coach Levi's personal custom training at CrossFit Nashua exceeded my expectations. 50+ years into my life's journey, and I was severely deficient in so many wellness areas. I had the privilege of training under Coach Levi through his individualized program, and the results were staggering. He's a maestro of fitness and wellness knowledge, and truly enjoys sharing his knowledge with his students. It's not that I just got more muscular, faster, stronger, and mobile, but he also guided me towards improving my overall wellness. I now understand what supplements that my body requires, the proper dose of training and recovery, benefits of breathing exercises, and so much more. The improvements are not only athletic, but because of all that I mentioned, the program has also resulted in me becoming a better employee, husband, and overall healthier happier person. Coach Levi's personal custom training is absolutely money well spent, and I highly recommend it to anyone at any level of fitness.

I’ve been a member of CrossFit Nashua and CrossFit Souhegan for nearly 4 years. In the last year and a half I’ve faced a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and treatment—surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and immunotherapy—which resulted in severe functional decline. The immunotherapy, specifically, affected my breathing and energy levels, which limited my ability to participate in CrossFit classes. A friend gifted me the opportunity to train with Levi, which allowed me to remain a member of the community I love so much, while receiving individualized programming. Levi kicked things off with an extensive interview—helping him to know and understand me—as well as extensive education—helping me to know and understand him, and his approach to programming. I’ve been working with Levi for four months now and I’ve seen a steady increase in my strength/skeletal muscle mass, but also improvement in my breathing. My lungs are healing and I’ve consistently incorporated the breathing strategies Levi has shared with me, improving my ability to breathe effectively during workouts, walks with my dog, and even while I sleep! I began my training with Levi just as I was diagnosed with pneumonitis, or lung inflammation, caused by the immunotherapy. It was a struggle just to get me through the door of the gym. Nevertheless, Levi was always there with a phone call to check in and see how he could modify my programming to make it more accessible. He wants me to be successful! I’ve been impressed by his ability to continuously adapt my workouts to fit my needs on a given week, because sometimes things change drastically from one week to the next. In spite of the medical and functional hurdles I’ve faced, I am lifting more each week and feeling more energized and with more endurance. Last week I finally beat my five and seven year old boys in a race, for the first time in a year and a half! It makes me really excited to see how strong I’ll be once my lungs are healed and I’m cancer-free! Levi is able to push his clients out of their comfort zones—helping us to explore breath work, cold showers, cold plunges, and leisurely floats down the river! He has so much knowledge about fitness, health and wellness, and I appreciate the time he takes to share it all. But above all, I appreciate that while I’m a cancer patient, Levi is still able to see me as an athlete!

Having been a member of Crossfit Nashua for over a year, I've truly found a haven that not only prioritizes physical growth but also creates an atmosphere of positivity and acceptance. This gym has consistently been a platform for members to passionately pursue their goals, while also ensuring that every session is just as fun as it is transformative. Diving deeper into my journey, I've had the privilege of training under Coach Levi through an individualized program for almost a year now. The results? A staggering improvement in my form across all movements, something that I had previously struggled with due to a lack of proper guidance. What's notable about my time here is not just the elevation in my strength and endurance but also the drastic change in my life's quality. I've always been plagued with body aches, particularly in my shoulder, but through Levi's meticulous and insightful guidance, I've not only learned to overcome them but also to utilize my body more efficiently. Levi often says his goal for us is to "Live life abundantly with no limitations." It's not just a statement; it's a philosophy he truly ingrains in our training. Thanks to him, I've realized that my journey at Crossfit Nashua isn't restricted to just gym performances. It has transcended to affect every facet of my life, empowering me to seek out adventures with gratitude for my body's capabilities. Now, I understand the profundity in every breath I take and the control I have over my body. To sum it up, Crossfit Nashua and Coach Levi have not only molded me into a better athlete but also a more enlightened individual. I am enthusiastic about the future, eager to grow further both in athletic prowess and as a person.
