Richard Jolly60 years old
Attourney
Snapshot: 60-year-old attorney and competitive cyclist; down about 20 lbs and riding faster.
Best for prospects who: feel stuck after years of doing the same thing and want measurable athletic progress.
Client's Results
- He came in without a dramatic health scare, more a sense that he'd plateaued doing the same thing for years and needed a different approach, motivated in part by seeing a friend get real results from peptides and by Nick's YouTube content.
- Physically, he's down about 20 lbs and roughly four inches off his waist. As a competitive cyclist, he's noticed a concrete performance gain: a regular ride that now takes noticeably less effort and finishes a couple minutes faster, which he attributes to a better strength-to-weight ratio.
- He's a Marine veteran (weighed about 180 lbs at commissioning out of Officer Candidate School) and says he hasn't been at his current weight since high school.
Sal Olivas40 years old
Snapshot: 40-year-old consistent lifter and runner; reports improved clarity, recovery and lean mass.
Best for prospects who: already train and want individualized bloodwork review instead of one-size-fits-all advice.
Client's Results
- He came in already training consistently (lifting and running for years, disciplined meal prep during the week) but frustrated that his physique wasn't reflecting the work he was putting in.
- He'd looked into other services beforehand but found they defaulted to recommending testosterone as a one-size-fits-all answer without actually reviewing his bloodwork, which is what pushed him toward a more individualized, labs-driven approach instead.
- The biggest surprise once he started was mental clarity and motivation, something he specifically tied to a nootropic peptide (Semax) his coach recommended, showing up within a couple of weeks and carrying over into his work and personal life, not just training.
- He also reports recovery improvements (a nagging shoulder issue and gut health both getting better), visible gains in lean body mass, muscle definition, and vascularity, and a general sense of "feeling clean" and staying sick-free that he attributes to an antioxidant supplement in his protocol.
Dave Kanderdine62 years old
Snapshot: 62-year-old competitive bodybuilder and former shift-work cop; retained muscle through a controlled cut.
Best for prospects who: are older athletes dealing with fatigue, recovery, or an overly complicated TRT protocol.
Client's Results
- A competitive bodybuilder since age 15, he came in fighting decades of chronic fatigue that he traces partly to his years of shift work as a cop.
- On the physical side, he's down to 204 lbs, a number he hasn't seen since the early 2000s, after years of panicking and rebounding any time he dropped below around 225.
- He's kept his fullness through a slow, controlled cut rather than losing muscle. His training also got overhauled: he moved from a high-volume "bro split" he'd run for decades to a lower-volume push/pull structure, which he says has both improved recovery and kept him growing despite being in his 60s.
- His TRT protocol was also simplified down to 175mg of testosterone a week, which he describes as a relief after years of chasing higher doses.
- Beyond the physical numbers, he talks about a real identity shift, moving from defining himself as "the bodybuilder" toward the goal of being "the most optimal 62-year-old" he can be, and says he plans to continue past his initial 12-week block because of how well it's going.
Rob and Rhonda Hubert
This is an interview with both husband and wife on the call
Snapshot: Husband-and-wife interview; one reports losing 41 lbs and coming off blood pressure and cholesterol medication.
Best for prospects who: want to rebuild healthier habits together as a couple and regain social confidence.
Client's Results
- They came in after drifting away from a healthier lifestyle they'd shared 10 to 15 years earlier, spending months searching locally for the right gym and trainer before finding Nick through YouTube.
- One of them started at 227 lbs and on both blood pressure and cholesterol medication, and reports losing 41 pounds and coming off both medications entirely, something they say "far exceeded" their expectations.
- Beyond the scale, they describe the biggest shift as reconnecting with each other (training and eating clean together again after "going in different directions"), regaining social confidence they'd lost (going back to the beach and pool with friends after a period of withdrawing), and a general sense that the physical transformation carried over into how they show up at work and in their relationship.
Tanner Bauer36 years old
Entrepreneur
Snapshot: 36-year-old entrepreneur with fitness experience; reports more individualized TRT guidance after comprehensive labs.
Best for prospects who: already know a lot about fitness but still need structure and more specific clinical direction.
Client's Results
- Tanner came into the program already fairly experienced: he'd trained extensively for years and had done macro tracking before with good results, so his baseline knowledge was solid.
- What he wasn't doing was applying that knowledge with any real structure, and on the medical side, he was stuck getting "cookie cutter information" from his endocrinologist and PCP about his TRT protocol and about newer things he wanted to explore, like peptides.
- That gap, more than anything about training or diet, is what pushed him to hire a coach.
- Once he started, the biggest shift was on the clinical side. His initial labs were far more comprehensive than anything his previous doctors had run, and they surfaced problems that had gone unaddressed for years: an estrogen imbalance, an off-target testosterone level relative to his protocol, and several micronutrient gaps.
- Nick sent him a detailed video walking through exactly what to change in how he was administering his TRT, what to add, and what supplements were a waste of money for him specifically. Between his initial labs and a follow-up roughly 3.5 months later, he describes a big jump in results, to the point where he now calls his labs "pretty dialed in."
Joy and Ben Jansen
business owners·This is an interview with both husband and wife on the call
Snapshot: Business-owner couple; one reports improved cholesterol, the other 20 lbs lost and more energy.
Best for prospects who: are busy business-owning couples who want accountability during a difficult season of life.
Client's Results
- One spouse came off a statin entirely and dropped cholesterol by roughly 70 points, and now reports dramatically improved cardio capacity (a 45-minute stair-climber session at level 11 came up specifically).
- The other is down 20 pounds (176 to 156), lost visible inflammation around the midsection, and reports noticeably more energy despite running a business that regularly demands 70 to 80 hours a week combined between them.
- They started the program during a genuinely hard personal stretch: a near-sale of their business collapsed, their dog died suddenly of cancer, and one of them went on medication to manage the mental health fallout.
- They describe overhauling long-standing habits (including cutting out nightly recreational use) and say the accountability of weekly weigh-ins and a clear diet plan, on top of an already-full life with a teenage son, is what made it stick where past attempts hadn't.
Dave Van Etten
Snapshot: After a serious ankle injury, lost roughly 25 lbs and reports better digestion and app-based accountability.
Best for prospects who: are disappointed by previous coaching and want a clearer plan after injury.
Client's Results
- Came in after severely breaking and dislocating his ankle, which required multiple surgeries and left him non-weight-bearing for four months.
- He's down roughly 25 pounds and says people at the gym now stop him to ask what he's doing differently. Digestion improved (no more stomach pain or bloating after meals), and he describes his physique as "so much leaner." He compares this coaching experience favorably to past bodybuilding-show coaches who worked off printed PDFs and email check-ins; here, everything is app-based (macros, food scale, weekly check-ins, weight tracking), which he says removed the guesswork and made accountability much easier to stick to.
Scott D'Avonzino42 years old
Snapshot: 42-year-old recovering from a shoulder injury; dropped from about 215 to 186 lbs by his wedding.
Best for prospects who: are focused on recovery, bloodwork markers and guided hormone adjustments.
Client's Results
- Came in off an eight-month layoff after a shoulder injury that kept him from lifting; used peptide support (BPC-157) rather than surgery or PRP/stem cell treatment to help it heal.
- Started around 215 lbs, was down to about 186 by his wedding, and is targeting roughly 175 as his next benchmark. Total cholesterol dropped from 220 to 154.
- He had also pushed his testosterone dose too high on his own, which elevated his blood pressure; cutting the dose back in half under guidance brought it back to normal. Nearly every other marker on his bloodwork is now in range, with sex hormone levels the one area still being fine-tuned.
Dan Drews
Snapshot: Four months in, reports improved blood markers, no midday energy crashes and a daily fitness routine.
Best for prospects who: want sustainable routines without letting one off day derail their progress.
Client's Results
- "I needed to obviously drop about 80 to 100 pounds and then just optimize my health."
- Four months into the program at the time of the interview. His blood markers, which needed real improvement at baseline, are now "perfect" by his own account.
- He's eliminated the midday energy crashes that used to send him to nap during the day. Fitness is now built into his daily routine (long walks, hikes, taking his dogs out, occasionally training with a 60 lb weighted vest), a shift he describes as reshaping his life "top to bottom."
- He also talks about learning not to let a single off day (a holiday meal, for example) spiral into a lost week or month, something he says he struggled with before, particularly between Thanksgiving and New Year's.
“I needed to obviously drop about 80 to 100 pounds and then just optimize my health.” — Dan Drews
Casey Blair
Works in law enforcement, with unpredictable shift work
Snapshot: Law-enforcement worker with unpredictable shifts; reports dropping body fat while eating more and feeling more energetic.
Best for prospects who: have irregular schedules, already train, and need a plan built around their life and bloodwork.
Client's Results
- He came in around 236 lbs, already training regularly but with no real structure, no macro tracking, and diet decisions largely driven by whatever he'd picked up from Instagram Reels.
- What sold him was the promise of a plan actually built around his blood work and his schedule, which mattered given how unpredictable law enforcement shift work is. He describes his transformation as one of the strongest the coach has seen, and the numbers back it up in his own account: eating more food while his body fat has continued dropping week over week.
- Beyond the physical change, he points to a big mental shift, describing new clarity and energy that carries over from the gym into his work ethic and how present he is with people around him, plus a new, unprompted early-morning routine (waking around 4:30am ahead of his alarm to train before work) that he says isn't dependent on caffeine to sustain. He says the program "super exceeded" his expectations, particularly the ability to ask questions directly and get individualized answers tied to his own bloodwork rather than general advice from videos.
- He's already referred a few guys from his gym into the program and says the people who'll benefit most are the ones who already have the drive but are missing structure and direction.
Christian Bueno29 years old
Snapshot: 29-year-old who repeatedly plateaued; dropped from about 208–209 to 171 lbs and reports more confidence.
Best for prospects who: have fitness knowledge but hesitate over investment or struggle to sustain progress.
Client's Results
- He'd trained on and off since age 11, had the fitness knowledge to advise other people but never consistently applied it to himself, and would plateau after a few months every time he tried.
- He credits the program's structured nutrition and workout plan, plus finally addressing his hormone levels, with breaking that cycle. In roughly 60 to 90 days he dropped from about 208-209 lbs to 171 lbs.
- He also mentions the workout side got more efficient, not just effective: shifting from high junk volume to fewer, harder working sets cut his gym time nearly in half while he kept seeing results.
- He was candid that price was his one real hesitation (paying out of pocket for peptides and supplements on top of the coaching itself, which led to a conversation with his wife about starting on a shorter commitment), but says communication and responsiveness were consistently strong even when he messaged late.
- The biggest shift he points to is confidence: he describes being the guy who kept his shirt on at pool parties and barbecues, and now takes it off without thinking twice, with coworkers at the truck yard and people at the gym now asking what changed. He sees the program as best suited to guys like him.
Lloyd Plumlee55 years old
business owner
Snapshot: 55-year-old business owner; reports improved digestion, sleep and blood pressure, and renewed coaching.
Best for prospects who: are busy owners with digestive and stress concerns and want to hear an account that includes service frustrations.
Client's Results
- "I took a laxative every day for 20 years to even go to the bathroom, bloated all the time... I haven't taken a laxative since February, so it's got my digestive system all tuned up. Which, man, that was huge."
- "I ain't never been lean like this in my life. I've been huge, I've been a muscle head, but I ain't never been put together like this, ain't never been ripped and carrying muscle like this ever."
- He came in inflamed, in constant joint pain, on uncontrolled blood pressure medication, trending pre-diabetic, and dependent on a daily laxative for 20 years just to have regular digestion.
- He now eats roughly three times as much food as before, hasn't needed a laxative since February, and says his blood pressure and stomach issues came under control almost immediately.
- Physically, he calls this the leanest and most muscular he's ever been in his life, a notable claim given he'd competed at up to 230 lbs earlier in life and always lost muscle whenever he tried to cut weight in the past.
- Mentally, despite an unusually high-stress job running a business and ministry work, he describes becoming noticeably calmer and sleeping better, no longer lying awake for hours with his mind racing. He's candid that the experience wasn't without real friction: he was frustrated at points with inconsistent communication from Nick directly and some backend issues with the clinic/pharmacy around blood work and medication orders, to the point he paused before re-upping.
- But he re-signed because the results were undeniable and, when he shopped around locally, found nobody who knew more than what he'd already learned. He's since put a friend on a modified version of the diet and bodyweight-exercise approach and become an outspoken advocate for the program to people around him, with the caveat that it only works if someone is actually willing to do the work.
“I took a laxative every day for 20 years to even go to the bathroom, bloated all the time... I haven't taken a laxative since February, so it's got my digestive system all tuned up. Which, man, that was huge.” — Lloyd Plumlee
Emmanuel Cortes37 years old
Department of Defense analyst; Army member
Snapshot: 37-year-old father, Army member, and Department of Defense analyst. Reports noticeable body-composition improvements, better energy and focus, and a more active family life after following a personalized coaching plan.
Best for prospects who: already work out but feel stuck, struggle with low energy and focus, want more energy for their kids, or question whether personalized coaching is worth the investment.
Client's Results
- He came in already accustomed to going to the gym, but his body composition was no longer progressing. At 37, he also felt his energy declining and described feeling as though another “gear” was getting stuck each year.
- After starting a plan that considered his bloodwork and included structured nutrition, he describes the physical changes as drastic and quick. He specifically credits the nutrition and diet plan as part of that change; he does not provide an exact weight-loss figure or timeframe for the results.
- Beyond his physique, he reports improved energy and focus at work, with the morning grogginess and fog he had experienced clearing up.
- The biggest spillover was at home: he had more energy to play outside with his kids, and activities such as biking and hiking became a regular part of family life rather than something they rarely did.
- His reason for hiring the team was recognizing that working out and following general diet advice were not helping him understand what his own body needed. He wanted individualized direction instead of continuing to spend effort without making progress.
- When discussing the investment, he contrasts coaching with repeatedly spending money on protein products and supplements without clear direction. He emphasizes that the value included learning habits and tools he could continue using beyond the program.
- He describes completing approximately three months of coaching and continuing to apply what he learned after stopping. His account highlights lasting habits and personal responsibility: the program required work and commitment rather than providing a shortcut.
- He describes the team as supportive and says his macros were adjusted with consideration for his food sensitivities.
“I was able to spend more time with my kids, more time playing outside with them.” — Emmanuel Cortes
“But everything that I did during the program, it is still stuff that I do in my day to day life.” — Emmanuel Cortes
“It's hard work. You gotta commit yourself.” — Emmanuel Cortes
Anthony Jackson Jr.
Manager, fleet appearance department, City of San Francisco transit department·Coached by Jesse on Nick’s team
Snapshot: Transit department manager who went from fluctuating weight, low energy, and procrastination to ongoing weight loss, greater confidence, and consistent training.
Best for prospects who: think they know what to do but keep postponing it, have tried weight-management coaching before, or question whether online coaching provides real support and accountability.
Client's Results
- He believed he knew how to get in shape but kept postponing his start date. His weight fluctuated, energy was low, and he had begun accepting that he was simply “the big guy.”
- Previously worked with a doctor-recommended weight-management coach. He initially liked the approach but says his weight continued increasing while his motivation declined.
- Nick’s content about procrastination, sluggishness, and low energy resonated with him. After following the content and attending informational Zoom sessions, he committed.
- Expected online coaching to be relatively hands-off. Instead, Jesse’s communication, app-based support, and accountability exceeded his expectations. The community helped him feel less alone and stay consistent.
- Weight loss was still progressing. During the closing check-in, Jesse noted approximately six pounds lost since the previous check-in despite an earlier calorie increase. Total weight loss and the interval between check-ins were not stated.
- Previously avoided meetings with upper management. Now reports greater confidence and engagement at work, with changes noticed by his wife, family, and coworkers. He also reports being promoted to a management role during this period.
- Training became a positive outlet after stressful workdays, replacing trips to the bar with gym sessions. He describes the biggest returns as discipline, accountability, self-care, and showing up differently at work and home.
“I thought I knew it all.” — Anthony Jackson Jr.
“I'm just the big dude, and this is who I am.” — Anthony Jackson Jr.
“I look forward to going to the gym like it's my outlet instead of me going to, you know, hang out the bar or whatnot.” — Anthony Jackson Jr.
Matt Wardwell52 years old
Electrician
Snapshot: 52-year-old electrician and former Ironman participant who describes himself as the most muscular he has ever been, with improved definition and less stubborn belly fat after seeking more comprehensive coaching.
Best for prospects who: already train consistently but want better body composition, have found previous personal training incomplete, or worry that their age or limited comfort with technology will make online coaching difficult.
Client's Results
- He had worked out throughout his life and previously hired personal trainers, but wanted expert guidance to reach another level. He felt earlier training services lacked the complete support offered by this program, particularly around nutrition.
- At 52, he describes himself as the most muscular and broadly fit he has ever been, while acknowledging that his cardiovascular fitness was higher when he competed in Ironman races.
- Reports finally reducing stubborn belly fat that had persisted despite training and dietary efforts. He credits the team's nutrition adjustments, supplements, and peptide support with helping him improve his physique.
- Describes noticeably greater muscle definition and visible veins in his stomach, legs, and arms. He also discusses loose skin from previously being around 90 pounds heavier; the interview does not establish how much of that weight he lost during this program.
- As an electrician working in the field, he initially struggled to keep up with emails and the digital process. Once familiar with the app, he found it easy to use and says tracking his training improved his workouts.
- Praises Nick's direct advice and responsiveness, alongside support from Coach Gennaro and Logan Kelly. He describes getting answers sooner than expected, including occasional late-night responses.
- Says his confidence has improved and frames the investment as prioritizing himself and his physique over discretionary purchases, such as expensive vehicle accessories.
“I'm the most muscular and most fit that I've ever been.” — Matt Wardwell
“I could never get rid of that belly fat before.” — Matt Wardwell
“You feel more confident.” — Matt Wardwell
Matt Krimsky49 years old
Director of Financial Planning and Analysis in the foodservice industry·Coached by Nick and the medical team; his day-to-day coach is not named in the interview
Snapshot: 49-year-old finance director who reports substantial weight loss while maintaining strength, steadier daily energy, and improved blood pressure after years of disciplined training with limited results.
Best for prospects who: already follow structured plans but see little progress, have tried multiple coaches without comprehensive support, or want personalized coaching that accommodates their preferred way of tracking meals and workouts.
Client's Results
- He came in following disciplined training and nutrition plans but getting minimal results. Previous in-person and online coaches had never felt like the complete package, particularly around bloodwork and communication.
- Describes a dramatic reduction in weight and body size while maintaining his strength. He does not feel he has lost muscle, although a follow-up DEXA scan had not yet confirmed his body-composition changes.
- Reports more consistent energy throughout the day and better eating habits. His blood pressure, which occasionally reached the 130s systolic before, now typically reads around 113–116 over 60.
- Liver markers and triglycerides were among the concerns that prompted him to enroll. He feels better but was still waiting for follow-up labs at the time of the interview.
- Expected limited communication and rigid requirements, but found the team responsive and flexible. He appreciated not having to repeatedly log identical meals and being able to track workouts with pen and paper rather than exclusively through an app.
- Says the combination of communication, bloodwork, and personalized adjustments finally made the process click. A friend noticed changes in his face, neck, and overall size even over video calls.
- Is candid about the commitment involved, including a difficult initial adjustment to part of his protocol and the need to budget for both coaching and additional protocol-related expenses.
“The impressive thing is, through all of that, I've maintained my strength.” — Matt Krimsky
“I expected lack of communication and lack of flexibility.” — Matt Krimsky
Garth S.
Real estate syndicator
Snapshot: Real estate syndicator who reports losing 37 pounds while maintaining strength after struggling with stubborn belly fat despite training four times weekly and previously using testosterone, Ozempic, and other peptides.
Best for prospects who: already train consistently and use testosterone or weight-loss compounds but remain frustrated with belly fat, have received minimal follow-up from online providers, or expect immediate results.
Client's Results
- Came in training four times a week and able to build muscle, but unable to lose his belly. Previous testosterone, Ozempic, and peptide use had not delivered the results he wanted.
- Felt his previous online provider offered little guidance beyond an initial call and access to testosterone. He joined because he wanted more professional direction.
- Reports losing 37 pounds while remaining just as strong. He describes feeling substantially lighter, leaner, and better overall.
- Has more energy and can now run a mile without difficulty, something he could not do before. He sometimes trains wearing a 25-pound vest, which makes him appreciate how much weight he previously carried.
- Initially struggled with the slower start. He says the team focused on gut health and nutrition before introducing additional compounds around three months in. He saw no weight loss during the first month and may have gained some.
- Learned to track calories more accurately after discovering an uncounted daily green drink contained roughly 350 calories. The experience helped him recognize that seemingly healthy additions still affected his intake.
- Shifted from expecting quick results to accepting a longer-term process. Now describes the program as "worth every penny" and recommends it to men who work out regularly but cannot lose weight.
“I'm just as strong, but I'm just a lot lighter and leaner.” — Garth S.
“It's worth every penny.” — Garth S.
“You got to be patient.” — Garth S.
Ryan Bekenhauer
Construction and electrical company owner
Snapshot: Busy construction and electrical business owner who reports losing fat while maintaining muscle and feeling stronger, with better sleep and more sustained energy throughout the day.
Best for prospects who: run busy businesses, struggle with consistent nutrition, or have previously lost weight at the expense of muscle and want a structured plan with regular accountability.
Client's Results
- Came in eating relatively high protein but lacking consistency and an effective nutrition plan. His energy was decent before joining, but he reports noticeably more energy now.
- Decided to hire a coach because he recognized the value of expert guidance and a structured approach instead of continuing to figure everything out alone.
- Found the app's tracking, reminders, and checklists helpful for staying organized. The structure made it easier to follow the plan and identify what needed to change.
- Praises the weekly check-ins and ongoing adjustments, which helped him keep improving. This was his first experience with a program like this, and he describes the team's support positively.
- Reports losing fat across his face, midsection, and back while maintaining muscle and feeling stronger. Previous diets had reduced his weight without preserving the muscle he had built.
- Has more sustained energy and no longer feels exhausted by the end of the day. He also reports sleeping better, while acknowledging that everyday stress remains.
- As a busy business owner, values feeling energetic and present throughout daily life. Describes his coach, Naro, as fantastic and says he could not be happier with the experience.
“I am sleeping better at night.” — Ryan Bekenhauer
“I've been able to maintain, muscle. And actually, I feel like I'm getting stronger” — Ryan Bekenhauer
“Jump over the fence, man.” — Ryan Bekenhauer
