  • “Nate is a great trainer and teacher! He encouraged me to push myself out of my comfort zone while still listening to my body. My boxing skills and technique significantly improved with his classes and he even got me into weight lifting and yoga. Nate's kindness and knowledge really comes through his teachings and it was always a joy to workout with him. Nate also was incredibly flexible and adapted his workouts whenever me or my body required it. He is a great person all-around!”

    Andrew H., Lawyer

  • "Nate’s traditional style of Muay Thai coaching and practice has instilled the discipline I so desperately needed at the time we connected. His style holds authentic to some of the age-old training methods, while presenting it in an understandable modern context. Not only does he challenge you from session to session, he is very open to questions and situational possibilities and will go into detail based on his experience and fight IQ. I have so much to learn from Nate and am grateful for his guidance."

  • "Nate is a phenomenal trainer, teacher, and guide. In just a few months I found myself feeling more confident, strong, and tough - all of these skills have expanded into my life. Nate's approach created a space where I was able to fall in love with the practice and discipline of martial arts. Our time training was always fun, challenging, and absolutely enlightening. Nates instruction is highly detailed, technical, and professional. I have now moved and joined a very reputable MMA gym on the west coast. On my first day the trainer - a former professional MMA athlete - found me after class to applauded my technique and skill. I credit Nate for equipping me with the tools and knowledge to enter any gym and feel confident. Nate's training is at the level of mastery, no question. He trains in a way that evokes self-sufficiency and self-exploration. More importantly, I felt well equipped as a woman to protect myself if need be. 4 months after training with Nate I found myself in an unexpected and unsafe situation with an unpredictable individual, at night - and alone. As the situation started to escalate, I noticed that although I felt uncomfortable there was this sense of calm that washed over me - because if need be, I knew how to defend myself. I truly believe that my training with Nate helped me deescalate the situation and approach what was occurring with a deep sense of presence - which in the end, I feel, saved me from a dangerous outcome. And that, amongst other reasons - is why I give my highest recommendation for Nate's training and offerings. Not only does he teach from an expanded and balanced perspective - his understanding goes beyond the physical body and invites you to find a home within the chaos that can come with intense training and martial arts. To me, that is an invaluable offering."

  • I have been working with Nate for a few months and have made some great gains in my strength and stamina. It has been an awesome experience all the way around. He has a wonderful way leading me into developing my muscles and a healthy mindset. He gets me, my humor, helps me work through my limitations and is able to push me past what limits I put on myself. Working with someone who keeps focused on my goals and is always able to adjust what he has planned to match my abilities of my body each day is fabulous. My friends have started to notice the results, so far. I can't wait to see where he leads me in the next few months.

    Tim L., Public Educator

  • Nate is never distracted, always engaged, and is always actively involved in my workout. He also teaches me something new every time we work out together. I never feel like he's not 100% present with me during our sessions. He is focused on results and pushing me versus just aesthetics and what I consider the superficial aspect of personal training. He is focused on the task at hand, the goals I gave him, and the big picture. Nate always makes me feel supported. After 5 months, I'm feeling better than I have in years, since before COVID. I can jump again, am feeling strong and healthy, and last year's golf shirts are WAY too big! I look forward to continuing on with him in 2025. I highly recommend Nate to anyone looking for a supportive and effective trainer.
