LevelUp Personal Training

Cregory is a MASTER at getting results from his clients and motivation. He also teaches about nutrition as it works with training. My son and husband have been working with Cregory once a week in our home and he has made a huge difference for both of them. Our son has special needs and Creg knows how to encourage, teach and motivate him and his workouts. He looks forward to each session. My husband is over 70 and has been lax in his workout for years. Creg has ramped up appropriately a plan for him that is also working for him. I enjoy Creg, his flexibility, knowledge, interest in his clients, and excitement when one of my guys gets to the next level.
We all recommend Cregory and his Level Up Training to everybody! Call him now!

Inspirational trainer who encourages you to push yourself. Extremely knowledgeable — workouts are fun and effective. Creg generally merges strength training with cardiovascular exercise to maximize your results. Each workout is varied and challenging, but doable.
I really love the private gym experience you get at Level Up. I don’t have to worry about what I wear and I’m not distracted by people trying to look cool. I get to go to the gym and get a great workout without distraction.
Creg believes in you and makes you believe in yourself. So glad I found him. I bring my boyfriend with me now and he’s hooked, too.

I have been with Creg for about a month now and he is awesome! Very flexible with schedule becuase I have a child with two jobs and work 7 days a week… he is very friendly, multi– task sometimes but still have that focus on… I would recommend him to anyone. He even have group sessions which is great! He’s a very laid back, honest, and patient fella! Love it ! Check him out !

Let me tell you exactly what you are in for with Cregory, who is currently the owner and sole trainer at Level Up. (1) His focus is on his smartphone for most of the personal training sessions; (2) He does not count the reps, and if he does, he is often off the count; (3) He tries to skimp on the time allotted for the session, and I have consistently needed to push back in order to get the whole scheduled time I have paid for; (4) As part of his focus being on his smartphone, he is often checking how many sessions are left, and when he will be receiving the next check from you and for how much; (5) Trainer-​client conversations are often focused on what Cregory has in mind this week for improving his clientele base; (6) Cregory is not enthusiastic about scheduling early morning sessions; and (7) Cregory does not have the upbeat, motivational spark to encourage others to do their best.
What brought our trainer-​trainee relationship to an end was a bounced check. What I would have expected was an understanding that it was a mistake on my part, and some encouragement to resolve the outstanding balance and get back on track. Instead of focusing on continuing the training relationship, Cregory was focused on the nitty-​gritty of the fines and fees. I was so disappointed that he cared more about the bounced check fee than finding a way to continue to work together that I have walked away from $ 500 worth of personal training sessions due me.
I understand from other reviews that Cregory works for some people. However, I caution you to set up trial sessions and not to sign a contract on the first visit. You may find a better fit with him than I do; it’s best to shop around before committing.

I started training with Creg about two months ago after some friends recommended him. So far it has been really good. He is flexible with scheduling. He allowed us to do group sessions and it really helped motivate me. He really wants you to meet your goals. He mixes up workouts incorporating cardio, plyometrics and weight training. He has gone over my eating and sleeping habits with suggestions and even came up with a daily meal plan for me. I can see improvements to my body and I feel more comfortable and confident working out, even on my own.

Cregory is fantastic! He is an extremely qualified trainer who teaches clients the proper way to lift weights and do a gym work out. His well equipped studio is easy to find in the Petworth area and street parking is never a problem. I like the fact that the gym is private, so its one on one, with no distractions. Personally I have found Cregory to be professional and easy to work with. He took the time to understand my needs and goals before tailoring a program specifically for me. In terms of the work out, he always holds me accountable to what he knows I am capable of achieving but he is also encouraging and supportive. In a few short months, I have surprisingly become more fit, toned, and noticeably stronger. I am loving my sessions and feel I am on the right track to a healthier lifestyle.

I started training with Cregory last April. I was not in bad shape to start with, but he really helped me increase my upper body strength and just become leaner overall. I have really enjoyed training with him and his new facility on Georgia Ave. is great. He is very supportive and tailors the workouts to my individual needs.

I have been training with Cregory for 18 months. He is terrific. He listens to you and develops a program that meets your needs/​desires. He is a good motivator and keeps the workouts fresh and interesting. I am a 55+ female and Cregory continues to challenge me in the best of ways and is keeping me in great shape!

We’ve been training w Cregory for 2 years… and we love it! It’s his gentle and calm approach. He doesn’t push; he’s subtle about adding more weights; he even requires you to rest between each set of 12. The weight training and abs are gradual, and they work because you never get discouraged. You should meet this guy; he’s a real pro!

I’ve been training with Creg for about two months now and I’ve already recommended him to friends of mine. His gym is small and efficient and has all the equipment you could ask for. His training sessions are rigorous and always different which makes it way better for somebody like me who has never consistently worked out. He councils on nutrition and really listens to your personal goals when he makes your regimen. I already feel way stronger than I ever have training on my own. If you’re willing to follow Creg’s advice you will see results.

Before I started training with Cregory Boatwright of LevelUp Personal Training I was nervous about training and hesitant to work out in public. Once I met with the LevelUp trainer and started training regularly, I realized my fears were unfounded. The LevelUp trainer I work with is kind and supportive (not the stereotypical mean trainer I had built up a fear of in my head). My trainer has taken the time to get to know me, understand my fitness goals and limitations, and works with me to help push me closer to my fitness goals. I wouldn’t be nearly as motivated without my trainers support to keep at it. One of the best decisions I’ve made is to face my fears and start training with Cregory.
