"I started training with Coach Nick in September 2024. At the time, I was dealing with injuries, weight gain, and inflammation. I wanted to get back to the body I had when I was a black belt, competitor, and teacher—but I couldn’t do it on my own.
Nick created an eating plan that I could actually live with—one

"I started with Coach Nick in December 2023, struggling with gut issues, fatigue, and sleepless nights while rebuilding my life in a new town.

“2nd time partnering with Nick was great—the seminar Nick organized at Average Joe’s MMA was fun, professional, high-level, and I’m already looking forward to teaming up again!”
Client Testimonial: Michael B.
"Down 40 pounds and up in all muscle. Nick is amazing. I stuck to the nutrition plan and I got the results. The workouts were amazing. 10/10."
"I originally signed up with Coach Nick for a three-month “get me in shape” stint, but it’s evolved into so much more. When we started, my balance felt like a weeble wobble, and I kept telling myself, “I can’t do THAT.” Now, those shaky moves are steady, and my internal monologue has flipped to “OK, let’s do this.”
Even my eating habits have changed. What used to be lazy, convenience-based choices has turned into a genuine desire to fuel my body properly so it can perform at its best. Nick explains exactly how each exercise works, so every movement makes sense and doesn’t just feel like busywork.
Thanks to his clear guidance and science-backed approach, I feel stronger, more confident, and energized every day. If you’re ready to transform more than just your body—if you want to understand how it all works and build lasting habits—Coach Nick is the one to see."
Jeff came to me six months ago, determined to stay strong and active for his kids and grandkids. At 70-plus, he was balancing a full cabinet-making business and a desire to leave a lasting legacy. Together, we crafted a plan that prioritized functional strength, joint health, and energy management.
Since then, Jeff has been absolutely crushing it: his posture is more upright, his grip strength has noticeably improved, and he moves through long workdays without the aches he used to get. Beyond the physical gains, his confidence radiates when he talks about keeping up with his grandchildren and tackling projects in the shop. Jeff’s dedication to consistency—showing up early, pushing through every workout, and applying lifestyle changes—sets an example for everyone around him.
Watching Jeff integrate nutrition, mobility work, and recovery into his daily routine has been inspiring. If you ever wonder what’s possible later in life, look at Jeff: he’s proof that age is just a number when you train smart, live intentionally, and focus on what truly matters—your family and your legacy.
