Let's Talk.
You’ve been convinced to be in shape, you have to:
follow a Strict diet
quit foods you enjoy
be in the gym 6 days a week
you don’t.
You look at your life and see:
work took over
Responsibilities, stress, & Obligations Compounded
Your body got banged up, injuries happened, burnout set in
And Now, You're Left Asking… "What Happened To Me?"
I've Been There.
I've Seen The Signs.
I’ve Had The Internal Dialogue.
“I’ve Lost My Edge."
“I Used To Be So Strong.”
“I Used To Be So Disciplined.”
This Is Where The Downhill Slide Starts.
Just Look Around.
So Many People Just accept it & settle.
They start to Say,
”Your body will give out after 30.”
“You Can’t Operate Like That Your Entire Life.”
“You Gain Some Weight. It’s Part Of Getting Older.”
If You’re Around those people Long Enough…
You Become That Person.
What others say about The Mentality Lab
“As a competitive athlete & 3 herniated discs,
I was certain my fitness career Was over.
Now, at 36, I'm stronger than I have ever been,
and the crazy part is I only train one hour/day.
To any athlete out there thinking their best days are behind them due to injury or age,
working with Nick will change
your mind and your body.”
-Elizabeth, The Mentality Lab Athlete
Why I started training different & created The Mentality Lab
growing up, I was always looking to compete:
think faster, train harder, move better.
After I accomplished my competitive goals,
I still wanted to push like i was that athlete.
Eventually, given all the stressors..
Time, responsibilities, career…
I ended up:
•feeling beat up,
•chronic joint pain,
•getting a surgery for an injury,
My result:
Failed surgery & my ability to train ripped away
After the surgery — Doctors told me
“you’ll never have strength to shake a hand.”
I always love a good challenge…
Fast forward years later…
I’m now a way better athlete
stronger, faster, fitter, & without Pain
more mentally dialed into everything in my life.
Here’s how:
Moving aways from a random fitness program to a structured plan
Minimal Effective Dose Training
Prioritizing Strength, even during conditioning
Prioritizing quality movement and owning positional strength
Eating an anti-inflammatory diet
Training The “5 gear” engine
Reframing my mind for reinvention
Why work with me?
I know what it’s like to have this image in your mind of who you want to be…
But something happened to Knock you back
-> Injury, stress, life event, etc.
here’s a little bit to get to know me, your coach.
I’ve put in over 10,000 hours coaching Since 2012.
I own a gym & coach 150+ members using this programming for over 3 years
After experiencing the flaws & injuries that came with random programs It got me thinking…
most people don’t have 2 hours to spend in the gym,
so, instead they come in for 1 hour & do what they can…
crush themselves - end up hurt after overuse - & no progression.
Instead, let’s make the best use of the limited time we have
train efficient with a program that enables you to:
look good - be pain free - Move well
So, I started using a more structured approach on myself first - experiment a bit.
My body started feeling so much better and actually noticed I was getting stronger, fitter, & doing less.
Then, I started working with individuals 1:1 and eventually rolled it out to over 150 people at a time.
I’ve Seen The Ups, The Downs, And The Process In Between when it comes to training.
The progression of
—> excitement, dread, burnout.
My Sole Mission Is To Help You
-train smart
-eliminate What’s Blocking You From your goal,
physically or mentally.
Giving you a structured, intelligent program to be the fittest you can be, without crushing yourself.
I’m coaching you every step of the way
on more than just fitness…
We’ll go into other factors that influence your fitness
-nutrition, psychology, relationships
& how to improve those areas.
What others say about The Mentality Lab
Coming from a background of intense training followed by 5 years of relatively little to no training it was a perfect program to get me back on track to where I want to be physically.
A challenge I face is a busy travel schedule with work which Nick took into consideration when programming each week’s workouts.
He was also conscientious of what my body was telling me in order to keep from regressing in my training.
If my shoulder was bothering me and we had overhead barbell work he would substitute other lifts that would alleviate the stress on my shoulder.
-Alan, The Mentality Lab Athlete
This might be a surprise to you…
AFTER WORKING WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS…
I Made A Discovery.
Health is more than just working out hard and honestly… anyone can write you a workout that doesn’t suck.
but the real truth is,
Everyone Has Untapped Potential.
But a lot of coaches disguise it as doing more.
-Working out longer
-Dieting harder
-lifting heavier
But truly Unlocking It?
It comes down to the approach in backed by psychology… & this is why having a coach helps
Step 1 - assessing the areas you struggle in
Step 2 - reverse engineering to improve them
Simple enough, right?
The solution Is a well-rounded picture of health:
performance - (Is your body physically healthy)
psychology - (Do you have a clear direction & goal)
Emotionally - (are your relationships & stress levels regulated)
Occupationally - (Are you fulfilled with what you spend the most time on)
Nutritionally - (Is our relationship with food a positive one)
Support - (do you have a social circle that supports you)
Intellectually - (Do you feed your mind with what helps you or hurts you)
Spiritually - (Do you have clarity in your day to day)
each is Built Upon the Other & Some Are Easier To Build.
But What You Need Is MOMENTUM.
Some Hurdles That Get In Your Way:
Stories You’ve Mistakenly Believed
Your Environment Pulling You Down
A Circle Of Influence Holding You Back
When You're Tired Of Trying To Force What You Want Into Reality, It’s Time To Rethink Your Strategy.
What We’ll Do…
I Focus On Building 3 Components For sustainable health & Longevity:
Mental Health (Relationships & Psyche)
Physical Health (Fitness & Nutrition)
Spiritual Health (Purpose & clarity)
If You Aren’t Finding Progress In All 3 Areas, You Will Struggle… No Question.
No… You Can’t Muscle Your Way Through The Struggle (Believe Me, I Tried, smh)
A Lot Of Coaches Out There, Thousands…
They Sell You On What You Want But Don’t Actually Know How To Give You What You Need.
They Give You:
A Generic Workout,
Tell You To Add More Hacks To Your Morning Routine,
And Disappear For A Week Without Ever Discussing The Root Of Your Frustrations.
There’s No Check-In.
No actual Coaching.
No Accountability.
No Results.
And If You Fail, They Say You’re Not Disciplined Enough.
With Me, Every Day Counts
I’m With You, Every Step Of The Way.
We Aren’t Wasting Time.
You Trust Me To Help You Get There, I Trust You’ll Do The Work.
