As we all know, the first 7 years are the most important, and we’re not missing them anymore! Next Level turns 7 years old, and we’ll be celebrating our birthday for a whole month. Like every little child, we learned everything from scratch – we spoke, we walked, and now we run confidently alongside you! We’ve prepared many surprises and gifts for you, but before we cut the cake, let’s look back and see…
Dedicated to our mission of becoming the favorite place for all fitness enthusiasts, we strive to be closer to you, and in 7 years, we can proudly say we now have 17 fitness clubs. In all our gyms, we aim to combine a pleasant atmosphere with great results. You’ll find top-of-the-line TechnoGym equipment, free weight areas, functional and stretching zones, and group exercise rooms. After your workout, we can’t miss telling you about our relaxation and spa areas with saunas and steam rooms. In some of our clubs, you can also enjoy a tanning bed. At the new Next Level Maxi, you’ll even find a hammam and an ice shower.
If you still haven’t joined our family, what are you waiting for?
Over the past 7 years, many people have passed through our team. Building a stable and cohesive team is no easy task, nor is keeping them motivated. We believe we’re making great strides in this area, as it’s important to us that our people feel calm and happy in their workplace. We provide a friendly atmosphere and balance between work and personal life. To those who have stayed with us, we say a huge THANK YOU!
Our training team now consists of over 200 people – group and personal trainers – who are always there to help you with an exercise or answer your questions. Our trainers are not just fitness encyclopedias; you’ll find motivators, mentors, and even friends in them. We understand how important the trainer is for your fitness experience, and that’s why we only work with certified professionals who truly know what they’re doing.
Our club teams – receptionists, managers, and everyone in administration – work daily to provide the best service and, of course, make your day a bit brighter. 🙂
More than 30 fun and diverse group activities are available to you, improving not only your overall strength and mobility but also your mental health. Combining the useful with the enjoyable, you’ll not only achieve your desired body but also make unexpected new friends. We’re proud to say we are the exclusive representatives of Les Mills programs in Bulgaria. Only with us you can find the world-famous BodyPump, Core, BodyCombat, BodyAttack, and Grit workouts, which combine dynamic music with the best exercises for burning fat and gaining muscle mass.
At Next Level, we also now offer free weekend group activities for children between the ages of 8 and 13, which would be a great addition to your child’s daily routine.
In all this time – 2,556 days, to be exact – we have multiplied our community many times over. In the Next Level team, we have thousands of happy members who visit our locations daily. It’s a source of immense pride for us that you continue to trust us and remain part of our family. Leave a review for your favorite club on Google and help more people find out where they can enjoy their favorite workout. We are proud to maintain an excellent average rating of 4.4 across all our clubs, but there’s always room for improvement! 😉
In these 7 years, we’ve organized over 100 events and created valuable partnerships, where we’ve had the pleasure of meeting you and giving out hundreds of gifts.
Our goal is to get people to exercise for health, to fight diseases through prevention, and to change lives through sport. We believe we’re succeeding to a great extent.
This year, for example, we organized 10 mountain hikes in the Vitosha hills to enjoy movement not only in the gym but also in the fresh mountain air. We walked many trails, conquered many peaks, and even had hikes with interval running, as well as hikes that included… pizza, prepared by our personal trainer and skilled cook, Emanuel Iudgi! We made many fun memories and, of course, took lots of photos. Now, we’ve given ourselves a well-deserved break, but expect the next series in the warmer months next year. 😉
Let’s not forget our runs and marathons with our partners from Marathonbg, Decathlon, and Nestle, where we had fun together and ran hundreds of kilometers.
How can we forget our sports spring camp – Next Level Camp, which was also filled with movement and pleasant emotions?
We also did interesting events in some of the biggest shopping centers in Sofia. In The mall we talked about “Sport before and after birth” with our group trainer Ellie. Emo and I made delicious and healthy sweets with homemade chocolate, while we talked about how to structure our menu and what is important to emphasize in order to stay healthy. We also organized a calisthenics training demonstration with the guys from Battle of Legends at Bulgaria Mall.
Just a few months ago we also started a partnership with the National Sports Academy, with whom we are already working on methodological and internship programs for their students.
Don’t forget to mark the date October 13th in your calendar!
On the 13th of October we invite you to be part of our Next Level Les Mills challenge, where we’ll have lots of giveaways to look forward to. Throughout the afternoon, you’ll be able to participate in Les Mills’ world-renowned workout programs, and we’ll surprise you at the beginning with the introduction of BodyStep, a new workout for our portfolio that is one of the most effective cardio workouts for burning fat and toning your body.
Being closer to you not only in our new clubs but also online – mission completed.
With the Next Level Fitness App, you don’t need to carry anything more than your smartphone on your way to the gym (except for clean sneakers, of course). Your membership card will be just a click away in your pocket, and all the information about your subscription will always be available. Very soon, our app will be updated and even more user-friendly, so stay tuned.
Do you know about “On Protein”? That’s our Next Level podcast, which we launched this year. In it, you can find lots of useful information and interesting guests who share their obstacles on the path to success and their sports achievements. If you don’t know where to start, how to eat, or lack motivation to train, our podcast is just for you! Watch us on YouTube or listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
No time to watch but don’t want to miss out? Check out the articles on our website where you can read the highlights from each episode.
And let’s not forget the fun part – we’re already in TikTok! In our profile there, you can get lost in a video or just have a laugh.
Last but not least – we welcomed the Flais gyms into our big family. No, it’s not scary. Quite the opposite. Since we’ve grown with new locations and members, we’ll make sure our family becomes even more united and satisfied with our services, while preserving the identity of the much-loved Flys gym.
We also opened our first club outside of Sofia – Next Level Pernik. The brand-new gym is extremely spacious, with a huge variety of high-quality TechnoGym equipment, a boxing ring, a group exercise room, and a state-of-the-art CrossFit zone.
And now it’s time for a challenge! To celebrate our birthday, we’re organizing a competition in which every member with a subscription can participate. In October, the first 7 people with the most gym visits will win a 7-month subscription. Sounds great, doesn’t it? We’re waiting for you at the gym!
But no birthday is complete without a treat, so come join us for some delicious snacks that… surprise! – won’t stick to you! Visit our gyms on the following dates for protein treats and photos together:

Like every growing… child, we never stop dreaming, so expect the unexpected from us and many more surprises very soon!
