Why train with Coach Nick Woolery?

(I currently perform all in-person training at my home gym or at a local park for your convenience.)
1. I start everyone with my On-Ramp Program for two weeks.
Our first two weeks together are paramount for several reasons: I assess your movement and introduce you to the drills that will most efficiently allow you to address weaknesses and imbalances; I observe your general and relative strength levels and program accordingly; you show me how dedicated you are by working hard, tracking details, and earning points in your personalized checklist; together we determine what encompasses optimal training for your goals. 

2. Observation skills
As a personal trainer, my job is to markedly increase your quality of life through strength, movement, and general physical preparedness. This process is different for every single client and my nearly seven years of full time personal training has provided me with the experience needed to hone my observations. I use my eyes to watch ankles, knees, shoulders, and faces. I use my ears to listen to your feedback. I use my voice to ask precise questions and to explain why you are performing certain movements. You have my undivided attention and wealth of knowledge.

3. Training and ongoing education
As someone who decided on a career in personal training while pursuing a degree in chemistry, I highly value the scientific aspects of human performance and understanding the "why" when something works, or doesn't. I regularly read and review university-level research, attend workshops, and seek to expand my knowledge and skillset. Another aspect of my job is sharing that education with my clients and empowering you to make better, more efficient choices while striving to reach your goals.

Client Testimonials

I have been working with Coach Nick since Spring 2014. After spending years of helping my aging loved ones in assisted living facilities and nursing homes, I was determined to stay out of those facilities. I called the gym, told them I was over 50 and injured (I had pulled a muscle), and I wanted someone who really knew what they were doing. Lucky me, I got Coach Nick, who is the reason I've been able to stick with my program. He makes the workouts interesting, is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very supportive. I have solid results for the first time in my life. My back, arms, legs and core are toned and strong, and I continue to reach new goals! —Joy Marcus, St. Louis, MO

Training with Nick has changed my life. I feel healthier and stronger, and happier! I began training with Nick after having gone to the gym by myself for 6 months. While I was working out alone I injured my neck really badly and suffered from a lot of pain. I went to massage therapists, chiropractors, and physiotherapists – nothing worked.  Someone recommended that I train with Nick, so I decided to do a jumpstart program with him. During the first session, he took the time to understand what my issues were, he made me feel very comfortable, he asked the right questions, and he seemed genuinely interested in wanting to help me. After 3 sessions with Nick I had no more pain. I felt stronger and capable of becoming fit and changing my life habits. I decided to train with him for 24 more sessions – this has been the best investment of my life. Through personalized care, Nick has been able to help me with pain I had been dealing with all my life. He has taught me how to listen to my body, and how to challenge myself. This, in turn, has helped my mental state – I have much less anxiety, I sleep much better, and my eating habits have changed as well. I can now exercise by myself and I feel healthier than ever. Whether you are looking to feel healthier or stronger, or you are suffering from pain, Nick is the right trainer. He cares and he is amazing! --Alex Murga Jones, St. Louis, MO
