I started out with Nate in September of 2019. I was always skeptical of having someone help me with my fitness journey. I thought just doing youtube workouts would be just fine. But Nate completely changed my view on having someone to help you in the gym. If I ever have questions on form, nutrition and self care he is always there to help 24/7. He takes the time to make sure I do everything right. This is why I really enjoy his saying be taught not told. I've always struggled with being accountable on myself with my fitness journey but I consider Nate my accountability partner. He pushes me to the best of my ability and if I can't I'm never looked down upon. Before COVID19 every training session I was learning something new about the body and had some good laughs during them. Even during COVID19 I still have all of these resources thru virtual lessons. I will be forever grateful for having Nate as my trainer . So if your'e looking for a trainer who is accountable , funny, reliable, likes EDM and know what he's talking about HIGHLY recommend.

I had worked with Nate back in late October to late January following a nasty mountain biking accident in which I had hurt my left shoulder. At my worst I couldn't even carry my hydro flask with my left arm. Nate was very careful with me, but also pushed me to to get stronger within reason. He'd make sure that we always primed my shoulder before exercises. By the end of my time with Nate I was actually able to bench more than I was doing before the initial lockdown back in March of 2020. Nate is a great coach, not only did he help me get stronger but made sure I understood the mechanics of the exercises we were doing. He also helped me with my relationship with food, constantly reminding me and encouraging me to eat more food in order to grow. This in turn also helped me with my confidence to the point where I would take off my shirt in the gym, something I honestly never thought I'd really do. You'll learn a lot with Nate, but most importantly you'll learn to love the process, which is the key to continual growth when it comes to fitness.

This is way overdue but here it is. Nathan aka as Nate is a great trainer if you happen to be in the Oc area I highly recommend him. I've had 3 other trainers before him so I walked in thinking his workouts were going to be a walk in the park since he does full body. Man was I wrong, and burned every muscle everyday. I would have never tried full body if it weren't for Nate, he doesn't just throw weights around. He knows exactly what he's doing and works smart. Also apparently I had been doing a lot of things wrong, he was very particular with having correct form. Helps with getting out of a plateau, so definitely give big Nate a shot

I went to Nate asking him to help me loose weight, after having a baby I felt like I would never be able to have a nice body again but Nate has showed me that everything is possible especially if you set yourself goals to reach. The first few weeks I was very shy to even think on the fact that I was going to be working out for the first time ever but with Nate helping me and pushing me threw every single workout. I went in wanting to see a change and Nate has helped me a lot! He's helped me build my body muscle and helped lost a good amount of pounds of body fat and also had helped me step out of my comfort zone. Nate really takes his clients serious. I recommend anyone that is trying to build muscle or loose weight or even if it's just but healthy to go with Nate, you won't regret it.. that's a promise

Prior to training with Nate, I had a really toxic relationship with the gym by lifting 6x/week on a PPL split, and I was not getting the results that I wanted. My relationship with fitness at the time was so bad that I didn't have a social life because I was spending nearly all of my time in the gym. When I met Nate at the consultation, he told me from the jump everything that was wrong, including lack of recovery and not eating enough, so he put me on a 3x/week full body program and had me double my calories. He also corrected my form on all of the exercises that I had been doing before training with him. I initially planned to train with Nate for only 3 months, but because of how much progress I've made with him, I extended my time with him to 6 months, which is one of the best investments that I've made for myself. Not only was I able to gain 20 pounds with Nate, but he also taught me to maintain a balance between fitness and my social life. If it were not for him, my results and my relationship with fitness would not be close to where they are today. I would honestly recommend him to anybody, regardless of where they are in their fitness journey.

Before training with Nate, I was a retired athlete and wanted a way to still stay active but was only used to running up the cardio machines at my gym. Seeing other people weightlifting was so inspiring to me and I knew I wanted to start but I didn't know where, so I sought out the help of Nate. His Yelp Reviews and Instagram posts from his previous clients looked promising so I decided to give it a shot. He made sure that I was feeling strong, healthy, but most importantly, focusing on my form so I wasn't injuring myself. He helps with meal prepping if you need it and keeps you accountable with weekly InBody scans. Beyond just coaching, he kept things playful with his upbeat, sometimes crazy energy but never once was I bored during his sessions. Now I feel confident to go back to the gym and straight to the squat racks which was my worst fear but now I feel more confident than ever!

I started working out with Coach Nate mid-February, and I am so glad I made that decision. I always have been active and in shape, but due to some medical issues and bad habits and stress during COVID, was heavier than I ever been. I didn't want to wear the clothes I use to and didn't feel good about myself. I also was coming up on a milestone birthday, and wanted to celebrate it and not be disappointed in myself. I wanted to make a change and heard about Coach Nate. I figure I would give him a try, and it has been the best decision I have made for myself. It only took a couple of months until I started to see progress, and then of course, I wanted to keep at it. Five months later....I can put a bikini on again and wear my favorite clothes. That part is so rewarding, but so is working out with Nate and others at the gym during the week. It is a highlight and privilege to be there. I am so thankful for what Nate has done for me, and how he has pushed me. We always joke that my husband tells everyone he hired Nate for me, but he has never met him. LOL. That should be the all the proof you need. Thank you for what you do Nate. You're the best!

I started following Nate on IG after sifting through other personal trainers' profiles. What stood out to me was that he would talk his clients through their workout as he recorded them, he posted multiple clients throughout the day vs just himself, & his profile had a good amount of client progress pics. I'm experienced in working out but Covid set me back months and I felt so out of shape. Nate makes you feel comfortable, he has a genuine, welcoming personality, and he pushes you to become better and better. The program itself that he sets you on is great! 3 months later and I feel so good, mentally and physically. You have to trust the process. He's here for advice on your nutrition as well and pushes you to stay on track both at the gym and at home. I would recommend Nate to anyone - trying to build a booty, trying to lose weight, just trying to get stronger, trying to build muscle, etc. he does it all!

I came across Nate's social media several times and reviews through here. Finally decided to set up a consultation with him and it was the best decision! After graduating college and getting back to old habits of working out again he definitely made it easier and really educated me on the process. He always makes sure to put his clients needs first and being safe. Nate is a few of the personal trainers who is realistic about goals and ensuring it becomes a lifestyle not just meet your goal and end it. He caters to every of his clients needs and not just one program for all clients. He has thought me the importance of investing into ourselves. Being his 5 am client has been amazing because he will always show up on time and ready to get the morning going even though I am far from being a morning person. He will be with you the entire time you train with him and not slack off and go off to talk to others.
