My Story
Going Against the Status Quo
Guten Tag, I’m Nick!
Personal trainer, coach, nutritionist, husband, and lover of all things German.
I'm always surrounding myself with the people and things I love most, and I'm blessed to have a fulfilling career doing just that. The gym is my second home, and working with motivated individuals is my purpose. As a coach and trainer, I’ve combined the things that make my life meaningful, and it’s only been achieved through hard work and dedication.
​
​
At the tender age of seven, I set the trajectory for the rest of my life. Playing hockey and riding road bikes forced me to focus on proper nutrition to achieve my maximum performance. That made me realize how important a proper diet is for optimizing your body.
​
My puck-slamming skills landed me my first job at 14 as an ice skating teacher. Teaching clumsy five-year-olds how to glide across the ice was such a fulfilling challenge. I quickly understood that I was destined to teach individuals and help them grow.
​
I found Powerhouse Gym - the first gym I ever trained in - at 16 years old, and it’s been my home ever since. It was my Holy Grail. But damn, I never would have guessed how much my life would change because of it. It’s where my passion for fitness exploded to life and triggered the ultimate lightbulb moment: Being a trainer was what I was made for.
​
It was also the place where I met my incredible wife, Bianca, My fitness companion, and my motivation for diving head-first into German Culture. Powerhouse is where I’ve found community— it's a true melting pot for incredibly inspiring people.
Once I turned 19, I took a leap and enlisted in the Marine Corps (the best decision I could’ve made). At the same time, I began a trainer certification program through the Marines and began my personal trainer career. Over my six years of service, I discovered a new version of myself, equipped with new skills and discipline.
​
In the same period, I began working at Size Up Nutrition. For the past eight years, I've studied supplements and stimulants to increase my performance and help others do the same.
​
I continue to honor my craft and fulfill my purpose to facilitate healthy change for individuals like you. I’ve received additional certifications over the years, including my second Personal Training Certification through the National Personal Training Institute and a Nutritional Science Certification through the International Sports Science Association.
​
​
So here I am, ready to do what I do best and teach you how to become the best version of yurself. My only question is...
Are you ready?
