Client Testimonials
Ben, 36
Nik is an incredible strength coach. He will make you stronger period. I worked with Nik in person the past two years and experienced results that I never thought I could reach in both bench and deadlift. His knack to point out your mistakes and coach you on how to do things the right and safe way are among his best traits. As long as you are willing to put in the work and make the sacrifice Nik’s programs will work and you will be amazed with the results. I could not recommend anyone higher.

Nik has been an incredibly supportive and attentive coach. He encouraged me to sign up for my first powerlifting meet about a year into working together, and helped me get to a 936lb total! He frequently checks in with me and takes into consideration times when I’ve been incredibly stressed or busy and adjusts my training accordingly. He also pushes me to train harder and work on new things (like mastering the pull-up). As an online client, I know I can reach out to him and get my questions or comments addressed almost immediately. Highly recommend online coaching with Nik if you live outside the Albuquerque area!
Trevor, 21
When I first started working with Nik, I had absolutely no lifting experience at all. Within a year and a half I squatted 408lbs and deadlifted 467lbs at a state meet. I highly recommend working with Nik, you’ll definitely see results. You can tell it’s more than just a job for him, it’s something that he’s passionate about which definitely comes across in his training and his programs. He knows his stuff and doesn’t take any bs or excuses, which he heard a lot of from me 😄 Definitely recommend!!
Nicole, 32
I highly recommend Enchanted Strength Personal Training! I have worked with Nik for a little over 2 years. I primarily work with Nik for Powerlifting, and he has helped me train for 3 meets. Each meet I have gotten stronger with the guidance Nik has given me. My training with Nik has been both online and in person. Nik is attentive to my progress and is always there to make adjustments when needed. If you’re looking for a coach/personal trainer that is knowledgeable on proper technique and injury prevention then Nik is the best coach around!

I have worked with Nik from Enchanted Strength for about 4 years now and have always been extremely happy. When I started my lifting journey 4 years ago, I knew nothing. I did know that I did not want to compete in weightlifting or power lifting but I did want to get stronger and leaner overall. So, I decided that 3 days a week, in person would be the best option for me. Nik always came prepared with a personalized program to match the goals I was trying to reach. After I started to feel more comfortable lifting, I felt comfortable moving to a solely online program. Nik uses the same professionalism online as he did during my in person sessions. My online programs are always available at the beginning of the week and when I need help or have questions, Nik always takes the time to thoroughly answer whatever questions I have or give me tips and tricks. Nik is an excellent personal trainer and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to get stronger, lose weight, and just want to be healthier overall. You can't go wrong with in person training or his online option! 10/10 recommend Enchanted Strength Personal Training and Online Coaching.

I am doing online training with Nik and I have never felt so supportive and heard. He takes my comments and discussions seriously. He is not afraid to give me critique on my form or awesome tips to help my form become better when I send him videos. Not only has my strength improved and trusting in the process, but my mental health is better and my confidence has improved. My body is now showing more definition and it's so exciting to see me push myself and it's all thanks to Enchanted Strength! I'm so grateful to be a part of his team!

Nik knows his stuff, plain and simple. He can help you with your fitness goals and provide solid accountability to make sure you get there. He's attentive, he listens, and helps design a personalized plan just for you. If you want to gain or lose weight, gain strength, etc he's your guy. I've been working with him for a couple years now and there's no one else I'd rather have as a coach.
Draven, 25
I’ve been training with Enchanted Strength for a month and I have to say it has been an amazing experience. When I first started, I was exhausted after the first set of exercises. But after the second day, I started feeling better and something that I haven’t felt in a long time: motivated. By the end of the first week and everyday since then, I have felt energetic, fresh and determined to tackle each exercise with everything I’ve got. To put it simply, there are no words when describing the process of pushing yourself and bettering yourself physically; you have to feel and experience it hands on. And not just physically, but mentally as well. I am grateful for all that Nik Aston and Enchanted Strength has done for in this first month. Nik has given a new insight on self care and strength. He is the type of trainer that will help you set up and achieve your goals. If anyone is looking to feel stronger physically and mentally, Enchanted Strength is the best choice hands down.

I have been training with Nik for a few months and have already made huge improvements! I highly recommend if you are wanting to lose weight and gain strength, sign up with Nik!
River, 24
I started training with Nik just a couple of months ago because he was really flexible with the types of exercises. I wanted to take a bodyweight approach and he programmed a routine to work on L sits, L sit pullups, levers, handstand push-ups, etc. I am confident that he can work with a large variety of goals and program a large variety of exercises. He isn't just a lifting coach! Highly recommend.
Dave, 36
Nik is amazing! I’ve become so much stronger and more confident training with Nik. I can honestly say that my favorite day of the week is my training day. Nik will get your foundational exercises dialed in, then have you doing things you never thought were possible. I recommend Enchanted Strength as often as I can because I know his training style is effective. An investment in your self is the smartest investment you can make. Nik will give you the time and attention that is necessary to make you stronger and healthier all around. Mr. Aston brings a level of passion and enthusiasm to his work that is rare. He will make you believe in your own ability and drive you to greatness. If you want someone who sees you as more than just a paycheck, and is really invested in you and your training, Nik is definitely the guy. I’m so proud to be Nik’s client. I’m am proud to be a member of Enchanted Strength. If you are serious about being a strength athlete, or just want to get stronger, in general, Nik is the man you want in your corner.
Milad, 24
I’ve been working with Nik for 4 months now and in that time I’ve felt a huge difference in how I look and feel. Now at 4 months I feel stronger and more confident in my abilities. I’ve worked with Nik in person and via his online platform, he is extremely detail oriented and maintains his professionalism. He hones in on form to make sure each workout is maximized and routines are switched up so you rarely feel bored. I highly recommend training with Nik!
Lisa, 47
Before Nik Aston started coaching me I was afraid of any kind of squat or jumping because I thought my 47 year old knees could not handle it anymore. It has only been a couple of months and I am jumping on 24” boxes and getting depth in my squats without any pain. My strength has gone way up in a short period of time and I am doing things I thought were next to impossible because of previous injuries. Nik is training me specifically for Scottish Highland Games, a sport that requires strength, speed and technique . He understands how to break down the movements and explain things in a way no other coach/trainer has ever been able to do. I love that he varies the training from week to week and you can review your workouts, both past and present through a coaching app. He is super professional and never makes you feel like an idiot for not knowing how to execute a movement or what certain equipment is used for. I have learned so much in short period of time. I am convinced I will achieve my competition goals with the help of Enchanted Strength and I will be at this sport a long time. Nik has made me a believer that it is never too late to be the best version of you that you can be. You can be an athlete at any age. If you have specific goals you really want to reach, then Enchanted Strength is 100% worth your time and money. Nik will get you there.

Nik is a fantastic personal trainer. I was out of the game awhile, on our first few sessions we talked about my goals and what I was looking for in a personal training. He really took this to heart and has personalized every training session, by making them not only fun but to help me get that much closer to my fitness goals. Nik’s style is friendly and personable. He challenges me every session to push myself a little further. He uses a balanced approach, both pushing you to succeed, yet patient with the process. I highly recommend Nik. (I’m also writing this after an extremely hard workout with him so for me to be this nice you know my review is legit!)
