About Nick

I’ve spent my career connecting fitness, performance and health.

For decades I’ve worked with people, ideas and expertise across an industry that never stops changing.

From BodyPower to metabolic health.

I founded BodyPower in 2008 and have spent decades working across an industry that has continually evolved — from traditional fitness and performance to a new era shaped by health data, preventative thinking, modern treatment and personalised support.

My role is not to replace clinicians. My team and I focus on the practical coaching layer around clinical care: training, nutrition, muscle preservation, behaviour, routine and accountability.

What CMHC means in our service

CMHC stands for Certified Metabolic Health Coaching. It is the BodyPower framework my team and I use to structure the support we give you — training, nutrition, muscle preservation, routine, accountability and knowing when something needs to go back to your clinical team. You are working with my team and me; CMHC is the system behind that support.

Clear boundary: I lead the service as a Metabolic Health Advisor. My team and I do not diagnose, prescribe or replace an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

The philosophy

My team and I want you to get results you can actually keep.

For us, the goal is not simply helping you reach a number. It is helping you build the strength, habits and routine to hold onto your progress.

That means protecting lean mass, training intelligently, supporting sustainable nutrition, tracking progress and knowing when something belongs back with your clinical team.
