Athletes 👇
I went from 16 stone to 11, signed up for, and regularly participated in, my local Parkrun, and learned some truly valuable life-hacks.
Naomi
I've lost a 7 kilos and have improved my upper body strength - those short term goals were achieved.
Dan
I never thought I would be able to run as I have done, and although I lacked self-confidence I have had the fab support knowledge and company of Nico.
Kay
Nico has managed to push me further than I would ever have done myself and I have found that what I thought were my limits definitely weren’t!

About your coach, Nico
Hey, I’m Nico, and I help people just like you—those who used to be fit or want to get fitter as they age. Maybe life got in the way, or maybe you’re just looking to start fresh. Either way, I’ll help you get stronger, leaner, and healthier while feeling more confident in your body.
I’m all about fitness that fits into your life and helps you stay healthy long-term. It’s not just about how you look (though that’s a bonus!)—it’s about feeling capable, regaining control, and knowing you can keep doing the things you love as you get older. I’m here to guide you through that journey.
Take Ali, for example. When she first came to me, she was a beginner who felt nervous about entering her first triathlon. Fast forward, and not only did she finish it, but she’s now more confident in all areas of her life. It’s not just about fitness—it’s about how you feel every day.
