NICHOLAS SMITH
With expertise in functional training, strength training, endurance training and core training, Nick has helped clients achieve even the most difficult goals. He employs innovative training and motivational techniques that result in major body transformations. With a focus on functional movements that require little to no equipment, clients are able to train just about anywhere, without having to wait in a queue for gym equipment.
In addition, Nick is committed to helping people break the cycle of a monotonous and sedentary lifestyle—showing them the tools to gain energy and increase overall well being through nutrition programs that help reduce, eradicate and prevent medical crises, while increasing energy, allowing better sleep patterns and less stress. And because he genuinely cares, he is able to help people overcome negative thought patterns and beliefs that limit them from achieving those goals. Over the years, his client base has ranged from inactive high school girls and single mothers/fathers to older, retired individuals just trying to keep active.
Nick is more than a buff body, for sure. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, and certification as a personal trainer from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. He also holds specialty certification as a Fitness Nutrition Specialist with NASM. Committed to ever-increasing his knowledge and staying current, he is completing his MMACS (MMA Conditioning Specialist) with plans to add CES (Corrective Exercise Specialist), PES (Performance Enhancement Specialist), WLS (Weight Loss Specialist) and WFS (Women’s Fitness Specialist) under his ever growing belt.
In his own life, Nick’s commitment to physical fitness and healthy eating is fueled by his passion to remain active by playing competitive sports. Over his lifetime, he has been involved in baseball, soccer, gymnastics, volleyball and football. He is also an active reader, ardent gamer and loves nothing more than a good intellectual debate.
The “before” pictures looked like REAL people!
I have waited to post my review and with New Year’s around the corner, I feel like it’s time.
I was initially amazed with his reviews and the people in the “before” pictures looked like REAL people showing the results I was looking for in the “after” shots. But I wasn’t ready a year ago, I was intimidated. I didn’t feel like I would succeed.
Now, here I am a year later and 2 months into my training with Nick. I’ve learned there is no quick fix, but more importantly I’ve accepted that there is no quick fix. So now, I’m learning and accepting that this is a lifestyle change I’m making with Nick’s guidance.
Nick is awesome because you can tell he is truly invested in your success. But what I appreciate the most is how he creates a welcoming and supportive environment through everyone in the workouts.

It’s impossible to not see amazing results.
Where do I begin? Nick absolutely loves what he does. He truly is compassionate about his clients and what they want to achieve. I have been with Nick for two years now and I have to say that I have never been able to achieve the results I wanted, doing it any other way. When you stick to his plan for you, it’s impossible to not see amazing results. He switches up his routine twice a week and makes sure that we target all of our muscle groups. It’s never boring and the workouts are never repetitive. He’s very motivating and the group is fun and very positive! Great person to workout with. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

He believed in my abilities, lost 20 lb
“When I first started training with Nick, I can honestly say that that was the first time I had ever stepped foot into a gym environment. He was able to put up with all my complaining, my “I cants”, and my strong negotiating skills (with a smile on his face) and turn me into the gym rat that I am today.
I truly felt like he believed in my abilities, and with that feeling of reassurance I gained, he was able to create such a comforting environment in a place that I felt very uncomfortable. I have known Nick for some time now (about 5 years!) and I can honestly say that Nick is one of the best personal trainers I have ever had the privilege to train with.His ability to create fun and interesting workouts is only seconded to his encouragement and true belief that everyone is capable of whatever they put their mind to.
