ORIGINS
Nathan's journey began with his own struggles as a teenager. Lacking the right guidance and support, he faced challenges with weight and fitness, turning to unstructured, unsupervised bodybuilding routines in search of a solution. He quickly realised the gap in specialised training and mentorship for young people like him. Now, driven by his own experience, Nathan is dedicated to filling that gap by providing youth with the correct guidance, safe training practices, and a supportive environment to improve their health, fitness, and sports performance.
