Nicola Performance Training - East Windsor, New Jersey

Marc Wargo

Absolutely unreal! I trained here my entire high school and collegiate career and I owe all of my successes and gains to this place. The facilities are amazing and continue to exceed my expectations. The owner (John Nicola) who is an absolutely unreal human being, continues to modify and perfect his training style which leads to a consistent change of pace and exercises, making everyday a new experience. If you're looking to take your athleticism to the next level, this is the place for you, hands down.

THIS IS A MUST FOR ANY ATHLETE!!

Owner (John Nicola): Incredible person who brings a scientific approach to training. No one will push you harder, befriend you quicker, or help you achieve your goals more consistently.
Facilities: top-notch; you will not find the same sort of equipment / amenities anywhere else in the state.

As someone fortunate enough to play college football, I can attest that this training is above and beyond what any other facility will provide. Each summer, I trained at Nicola Performance Training (AKA the Dungeon) because I knew there was no other way for me to reach peak shape, both mentally and physically. Cannot recommend enough, you shouldn't be reading this sentence - YOU SHOULD BE AT THE DUNGEON GETTING BETTER!

Simply put, John changed my life. Of course his training regimen and nutrition consults helped me perform at the top of my ability as a collegiate football player, but training with Nicola is more than just that. John is a motivator and an inspirer. He wakes up every morning and devours life with an appetite that is infectious. Absolutely worth the time and effort to go train with John. It will make you the best person you can be!

Alexander Pagan

Outstanding facility with even better people. If you are an aspiring athlete this is the place to be. The positive energy and blue collar mentality will lead to improved strength, speed, agility and most importantly confidence. John is the greatest motivator I have had the pleasure of working with and I certainly owe a lot of my athletic success to him.

Benjamin Pagan

Amazing place where athletes become faster stronger and overall better people. John creates a very challenging environment while somehow managing to keep it fun. I've been going there for over 6 years now and would recommend it to any athlete who is looking to take their game to the next level.

Where do I begin? If you're an athlete that has goals, you have two options:

1) dance around said goals somewhere else

2) crush them at The Dungeon

I highly suggest you roll with option #2. I chose that path way back in 2009 and it's scary to think what my athletic and professional careers would have been like had I not walked into that gym and learned what REAL training is. The kind where you break your body down and build it up. The kind where you set speed and agility goals you never thought you could achieve and then leave them in the rearview. But most importantly, the kind where you show up every day to work at maximum effort with a trainer of the highest order in an environment of camaraderie and passion.

The mountains of physical, tangible evidence you'll see in the mirror and on the field are just the tip of the iceberg. What makes NPT special are the things no one but you can see: work ethic, character, self-awareness, and the joy of training.

There are few better feelings than putting in the work day in and day out with people that will become your best friends and becoming the best possible version of yourself. What else are you training for? The bottom line is that you will be a better person—inside and out—after you walk in the door at NPT. You just have to knock—John's waiting on the other side.
