Dewayne has more than ten years of training experience under his belt, nasm and apex certifications; he specializes in training professional bodybuilders, figure competitors and athletes. All of his figure or bodybuilding clients have gone pro or taken no less than second place their first time at competition. This might be intimidating if it weren't for Dewayne's easy going attitude. One of his greatest success stories is in a ninety year old woman who has been training with Dewayne for more than five years. When they first started working together she was wheelchair bound; she now walks unassisted.
My name is Jeanne Herbert. It was my own personal search to find optimal fitness that led me to become a Personal Trainer. I came to Next Level fitness in 2004 as a mother of two who was determined to get back in shape. I love working out - weight training, cardio, boot camps – anything physical that pushes me and makes me sweat! I am now a PFIT Certified Personal Trainer and am enjoying meeting clients exactly where they are and helping them find the fitness level they are personally looking for. It's there for the taking!

Kathy's philosophy is that you can't expect to take care of others unless you take care of yourself first. It's not selfish to be in charge of your health and fitness. Life is about choices and quality of life- make yourself the priority so others can enjoy you as well.
Kathy has her own before/after story and wrote about it to help others. Her recent book, 'The Time is Now, 7 Ways to Get Off the Diet Rollercoaster and Get On With Your Life!' is availabe through her website.
