Nick Chinchilla
Performance Coach
NASM UFC
Growing up, I immersed myself in playing sports and was always intrigued on how the human body can compete at higher levels. Athletics and becoming a Strength and Conditioning coach is the main reason I continued my education to study kinesiology & exercise science. During my undergrad, I volunteered in S&C facilities, physical therapy clinics and aquatic biomechanics labs. Having the motivation to teach others how to transform unhealthy habits into fueling healthy minds and bodies stems from being an athlete and taking the proper steps to moving carefree. My goal is to pursue a career in strength and conditioning while instilling rehabilitation for those coming off an injury or need a new perspective on utilizing functional movement patterns to live a healthier lifestyle. A philosophy I live by is learning how to be comfortable while being uncomfortable is a great tool to have in becoming adaptable in life. It all starts from within and I am here to help you through those difficult times in becoming a better you!
