Richard and I started with Nick 7 years ago after saying we were going to cancel our gym membership. In the time we have been trained by Nick, I have stopped all the pain medications I was on for the degeneration in my spine, including all the nerve pain drugs. I no longer need to see my pain specialist. I feel stronger because I am. Richard has also benefited from Nick’s training. We hoth feel very lucky to be trained by Nick and now call ‹ m a friend as well as our devil (when he makes us do things we don’t want to): he is really invested in our over all well being and he has also trained my 86 year old godmother. I am sure the work he did with her ensured she was more mobile than she would otherwise have been. Thanks Nick! – Anna & Richard C
