SPECIALIZATION
“I came to Nick as I was gearing up for my first 50-mile trail ultramarathon. I had a consistent pattern of hip flexor and knee pain. Nick did a thorough intake, going over all of my history along with my goals for my upcoming race. Ultimately, I had a successful 50 mile race, with no sign of any back, hip, or knee pain.”
- Natalie, 31, ultramarathoner

EFFORT x EFFICIENCY
“Before training with Nick, I had to spend twice as much time working out to see far fewer results. I was a varsity athlete in college and I often think of how I could have excelled even more if I had the level of mobility I have now as a result of Nick’s coaching.”
- Sydney, busy professional, amateur athlete, fitness enthusiast

PURPOSE
“You provide people with tools and knowledge to get to where they need to be. You’re not just helping people learn an exercise: You’re helping them figure out the why of the exercise: why it’s an important skill, why it’s beneficial to your goals.”
