Bergen County’s Top Gym for Athletes and Everyday Champions

I had the opportunity to attend the Perform Better Fascia Conference and wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank Nicholas Bufano and the entire Alliance Performance team.

Before the conference even began, I had a brief conversation with Nick about how I had hoped to train at his facility on my way down—but couldn’t make it work with timing. Without hesitation, he told me to be there early the next morning… and opened the facility ahead of schedule just so I could get a workout in.

That kind of hospitality speaks volumes. He absolutely didn’t have to do that, and I’m incredibly grateful.

Now, let’s talk about the facility itself—unbelievable. Even while still under construction, it’s clear this place is something special. The energy, the bouncy turf, the recovery areas—everything is top-tier. Honestly, it made me half-jokingly consider leaving my own gym to come work there.

What stood out most to me is that Alliance Performance represents a vision I’ve always believed in: a true one-stop shop. Personal training, athletic development, chiropractic care, physical therapy, and medical professionals—all working together under one roof, communicating and collaborating. That’s the future of this industry, and Nick is already building it.

Nick, thank you again for your generosity, your leadership, and for creating something truly exceptional. It was also a pleasure meeting the incredible team you’ve surrounded yourself with—it’s clear you’ve built a culture of excellence.

If you’re ever up in the Lebanon, NH area, I’d love to return the favor—Wayne’s World is always open to you.

Hope to cross paths again soon, my friend.
Best wishes,
Wayne Burwell

I thought I would have to retire from working out because of injuries. Classes here changed my life!

We’ve been a part of the Parisi/Alliance family for a decade and we couldn’t be any happier with the staff, the facility and especially Coach Sully. He has kept my kids physically safe, mentally strong and highly competitive from youth town sports through state top ranked high school sports by consistently evolving their training and individual needs to get them where they needed to be. There is no better facility or trainer out there if you are serious about performance training, Coach Sully and Alliance are the best you will find.

Coach Dan Stickna is the man. Absolute pleasure to work with every time. Knows what it takes to reach Peak Performance. Me and Dan have been working on training with higher intent, and pushing the limits to a whole new level. Fascia Training has been an absolute game changer for me and I'm looking forward to achieving my peak performance self. The music and atmosphere is absolutely electric and love the vibes in this gym. The entire staff is very nice and welcoming. Overall great people to learn from and be around!!

Best Coach ever definitely recommended

One of the best gyms around. Very clean facility. Top of the line equipment. The Coaches are very well educated in their field, and cater to each clients individual needs. Coach Sully has definitely helped me stay on track of my fitness goals. 10/10 would recommend.
