He has over 25 years of experience in the bodybuilding industry, and he specializes in natural bikini competitors. He is very detailed oriented, responsive and is always eager to explain and address any concerns or questions I have. He has always put my overall health and well being first, which is something I am very grateful for. Thanks to his nutritional approach based on macro targets, I now have a lot flexibility in my diet while consuming mostly whole foods. This has been pivotal in making my current nutrition sustainable, and ultimately a lifestyle. My mindset during workouts changed completely after I started working with Joe. Now I lift with purpose, intention and intensity. The goal is to always perform better than last time; either on the execution of exercise, reaching 1 more rep or higher weight during the lifts. I am very lucky to have found this sport, it has changed my life and specially to have Coach Joe in my corner providing top notch service and guidance. I am looking forward to our next season together and achieving more goals in this sport.

His overall knowledge and experience speaks for itself, and I’m extremely thankful to have found a coach who understands the body’s needs and what it takes to reach the top!

"I prepped with Next Level Bikini Team for almost two years. Through working with NLPT I’ve been able to reach personal fitness goals and create healthy lifestyle habits. Coach Joe is very knowledgeable and awesome to work with!"

★★★★★

"Coach Joe is super knowledgable and every aspect of my gym routine and my diet are adjusted and customized for me personally based on my progress. At 4′ 11″, my needs are different than other girls. When my quads began to develop at a faster rate than the rest of me, he quickly corrected things for more balance. When I wanted specific foods, he adjusted my meal plan to make them fit until I was comfortable doing so on my own. I intend to go Pro this year, but only because I stayed with Next Level. Coach Joe has proven to know exactly how to evolve things to keep me constantly improving beyond what I could achieve on my own!"

★★★★★

"I reached out to Next Level and within 24 hours I had a response. I felt so relieved to not be in it alone. After a detailed assessment, Coach Joe sent me a full program and meal plan with extreme consideration to make it as close to my current eating habits and diet preferences. It was clear that he was experienced in making sure the competitor could adhere to the diet, and paid close attention to what I was logging. There was no drastic caloric deficits or trendy weight loss methods, I felt healthier than ever while dieting under Joe’s guidance, even during the final week of prep."

★★★★★

"I trained with Joe for just over a year, and saw more change in my body than I have in the whole 4 plus years I trained without him. I did less than half the cardio I used to, and ate almost triple the amount of carbs. Joe takes time with you and really cares about his clients! It's not just a cookie cutter meal and training plan. This isn't a one size fits all. He takes time to get to know his girls and makes sure we are set up on the proper meal plans for our bodies and goals. Joe is very knowledgeable and is about doing things the right healthy way! I highly recommend Next Level to every bikini girl!!! I'm telling you you won't be disappointed!"

★★★★★

"Prepping with Next Level has been unlike any other training I have ever received. Joe has shown me how enjoyable prep can be given the right coach and plan. Everything from my diet to my cardio plan is dialed in for my specific needs so I am never consuming too much or too little or spending endless hours doing cardio every week. I highly recommend working with Next Level to achieve any fitness goal!"

★★★★★

"Prep for my first show was absolutely incredible the whole way through. I’ve heard horror stories about cookie-cutter programs with coaches who severely under-feed their athletes. The plan you receive with Joe is anything but that. He recognizes that everyone is different, and truly tweaks your program to fit your individual needs. As an active duty soldier, prepping for a show came with a lot of special hurdles. Despite all of that, we landed a national qualification at my very first NPC competition. I highly recommend his services to anyone who is serious about getting into the best shape of their lives, whether they wish to compete or not. Our percentages are the best out there, and numbers don’t lie!"

★★★★★

"I appreciate working with Coach Joe because he educates you throughout the process and uses science to develop a program that is healthy for you and tailored to your specific needs and goals. Each week required a lot of time and energy but I was very disciplined in my training and diet and started to see results. I would 100% recommend Coach Joe to anyone interested in competing especially if it’s your first time. It’s been such a positive experience for me that I’m currently working towards my next show now."

★★★★★

"I’ve been competing for three years and training and eating well for as long as I can remember. My results somehow always fell short in achieving the physique I really wanted. It wasn’t until Joe carefully evaluated what my body really needed in order to give me the results I was looking for. He perfected every aspect of my routine from training and proper form/technique to nutrition and timing/macros to supplementation to digestive health to sleep and everything in between. No piece of the puzzle gets left out. We sculpted a physique that I never thought I could achieve. I have never been happier and feel so fortunate to be a part of such an elite team of athletes!"

★★★★★

"My main goal when I came to Joe was to qualify for Canadian Nationals, which I did and placed 4th! This brought me to IFBB North Americans where I placed 2nd, and now I am going to be one of only 6 girls in my country selected to compete for a pro card at IFBB Worlds. I can honestly say that I would not be where I am today without the help and support of my coach. I appreciate everyday that he saw potential in me and was willing to mentor and coach me to be a national level competitor. He never let me settle my goals for a national level invitation but has me now shooting for a pro card. This is what a coach is meant to do, look out for your health and see your potential- Joe did both and I am forever grateful."

★★★★★

"I aspired to compete for many years before I sought help to make those dreams come true. I talked to a few coaches before coming across Coach Joe. What immediately set him apart from the others is that he gave me a game plan. He outlined everything for me and made everything make sense for a first time competitor. Along the way, he has continued to provide reasoning as to what we are doing and answers all questions I have. He has taught me how to eat to properly fuel my body and does not starve me. He also takes the time to ensure workouts are being done correctly to obtain maximum results! I am thrilled with the progress I have experienced this far, and even more thrilled for the progression that is yet to come with Next Level!"

★★★★★

"I researched a lot of coaches and teams with a goal to find someone who had a healthier approach and truly tailored each program. Not just some “cookie cutter” approach, but a plan where I would really see results. With Joe as my coach, I have learned so much about what types of training and nutrition work best for my body to see optimal results. We have not let my younger age and lack of muscle maturity slow us down from bringing home trophies and national qualifications, even when faced against ladies who have been competing much longer than I have. Joe’s experience and guidance has helped me see results I didn’t think were possible. I recommend training with Next Level to anyone serious about getting into the best shape of their life!"

★★★★★

"When I decided to do a provincial level show, I picked Next Level because I liked the physiques of the girls on the team and knew Joe would help me achieve that. All the meal plans and workouts are personalized and they make sure you are ready to hit the stage by helping in perfecting your posing. Even though he is 3000 miles away, I felt like Joe was there every step of the way. I followed the plan perfectly (which isn’t hard since the foods are amazing) and the physique I achieved was beyond what I thought was possible. I can’t wait to see where Next Level is going to take me next."

★★★★★

"Joe is knowledgeable, passionate, and unlike many coaches out there, he takes the time to educate his clients. He doesn’t just tell you what to do and bark orders, but rather he explains the reasoning behind things and I love that! He empowers you and encourages you to be aware and active in your own health. He promotes healthy weight loss, and most importantly, healthy competition prep. He doesn’t starve you. He doesn’t prescribe excessive cardio. You don’t eat sticks and berries and get by on 700 calories per day with no carbs. You eat. REAL food. He doesn’t believe in excessive cardio and has old school philosophies on lifting…and they WORK. Joe is the real deal, and with so many coaches who take no mind to the havoc they are causing to their clients metabolisms, Joe stands out like a beacon in the night."

★★★★★

"Coach Joe isn’t the type of trainer that creates a program with the philosophy of throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. He is thoughtful, purposeful and regimented. I can confidently say that this approach not only helped me bring home a few trophies (including becoming Nationally Qualified by my second NPC bikini competition), but also helped me develop a much healthier relationship with food. I firmly believe that my success is because Coach Joe provided a truly personalized program that nurtured my unique circumstances and allowed me the room for real learning vs unsustainable fast results. We’re now in “improvement season” and I look forward to making even greater gains in my health and physique!"

★★★★★

"Competing was an amazing, life changing experience. I have never felt better in my entire life. I feel good, I look good, and I have a new hobby that has introduced me to some awesome people. I'm sure you hear that everyone has "the best coach ever". But I will say it again... Mine is the best in the industry and anyone would be lucky to be a part of Next Level Bikini Prep! I am going to continue my training and am so excited for what my future has in store."

★★★★★

"I had been following NLPT for a bit on Instagram, because competing was a goal of mine and all the NLPT girls looked amazing! I was so excited that he was able to take me on as a client! His communication and work is very thorough, and he is very helpful answering all of the questions and concerns you have. Not only is he a great coach, providing you education and exactly what you need for training and diet, he is also funny! Working with Cherish for posing is an absolute pleasure as well. She is so sweet, helpful and EMPOWERING. NLPT helped me achieve an amazing physique, and goal for my first show, taking 1st in all my classes, winning the overall earning my natural pro card! Thank you Joe!"

★★★★★

"I had originally thought that because I wasn’t overweight, I could probably hit the stage within 6 months max. How wrong I was!! I was quickly acquainted to the “building” part of “bodybuilding”… Cherish had me lifting hard and heavy 5 days a week and we built my calorie intake up to 2600. It was a lot of food for a girl who’s lifelong philosophy had been “smaller is better!” But I trusted Cherish implicitly as I knew she was leading me down a path of not only physical growth, but mental and spiritual growth as well."

★★★★★

"I have been with Coach Joe for past 2.5 years and I couldn’t be more happy with my physique! When I decided to compete I knew I wanted to do it in a health conscious way and Joe was definitely a wise choice. We had some injuries to work around in the beginning and Joe always made sure to respect any physical limitations I had and over time I became stronger, healthier and pain free! I’m happy to say that I placed top 5 in all of my shows and even took 1st place at my first international show. Learning about the craft and building the physique that I dreamed of has been an absolute pleasure with the guidance of Coach Joe. He’s extremely knowledgeable and I really like his style of “doing what works”. If you are looking to excel in lifestyle or competitive fitness the Next Level Bikini Prep is the team to choose."
