Nick has always been into sport and fitness. When he was young, he was an athlete. In fact, you may recognise his face from the sports pages of the JEP back in the 90s. Nick knew he wanted to be in the business of helping people to get fit and understand what their bodies are capable of, so he got a sports science degree, personal training qualifications and a job as a receptionist at a local gym. Within weeks he moved from behind the desk to training people, and he’s never looked back.

“I really am lucky to do what I love as a career. No day is the same and there’s always something new going on in a client’s life that I can help them with.”

If you are on a journey to recovery from an injury, Nick is your man. He specialises in rehabilitation as well as strength training and injury prevention.

“My priority is ensuring that every client I work with understands what we are doing and why we are doing it. It is also about having fun and ensuring that they leave happier than when they walked in the door.”

Nick is far from nasty. His style is fun, positive, accommodating and relaxed when it comes to training people, giving them the confidence to move and work out more. He also is passionate about mental health.

“Mental health is really important, and I am always up for listening. I don’t just focus on the fitness goal but also on my client’s wellbeing and happiness. Life can be tough, throwing us all kinds of curveballs, and when it does, it is good to talk. We need to be real about where we are at, and if I can be there for people, I will be!”

Nick loves leading the growing team at Funktion, and he is looking forward to all the new opportunities that are ahead for both our clients and trainers.

“I’m super excited to see where this team can take themselves, and I know that the impact that they will have on clients is going to be amazing.”
