Over the four years that Nick has been working as a personal trainer, he has developed his own style of training men and women of all ages and ability levels. He places a large emphasis on evidence-based practice in his coaching. With that said, he is thankful for the priceless understanding of various techniques and methods he has gained through his own training. He has worked with literally hundreds of individuals, seeing great success in improving their strength, mobility, posture and overall physique. These are the results which people will expect to achieve. The best results, however, are the ones which people often don’t expect - a tremendous boost in self- confidence, a determined and positive mental attitude and real belief in their own ability.

Nick’s biggest passion lies within strength training and learning about movement mechanics in everyday life, as well as being an avid football (soccer) fan! Nick will use his experience to help you utilise your time in the most effective and efficient way possible, whilst educating you the whole way about what you are doing and why you do it, enabling you to become stronger people both physically and mentally. Train smart, then train hard.
