Get to know Coach Nathan
About Me:
I'm a competitive world champion powerlifter and the founder of Neuroforce Athletics, where I merge elite athletic performance with cutting-edge AI technology. I've already built a career combining hands-on coaching experience with data-driven innovation. I compete in the 67kg weight class and know firsthand what it takes to push past physical and mental limits. My passion is helping athletes of all levels unlock their true potential through scientifically-backed programming and personalized coaching and building long lasting passion and relationships with my clients.
How I can help you improve your game:
I specialize in building explosive power, functional strength, and injury-proof movement patterns. Whether you're looking to dominate your sport, set new PRs, or simply move better in daily life, I use periodized programming, biomechanical analysis, and AI-driven performance tracking to create custom training plans that deliver measurable results. As both an ISSA-certified personal trainer and nutritionist, I also provide nutrition coaching to fuel your performance and recovery. My approach is rooted in science, refined by competition, and designed to help you break through plateaus faster than you thought possible.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Every session starts with a movement assessment and warm-up tailored to your needs. We'll focus on compound lifts, accessory work, and mobility drills designed to build strength while preventing injury. I use real-time coaching cues to perfect your technique and ensure every rep counts. Sessions also include performance tracking—whether it's weight lifted, velocity metrics, or RPE scores—so we can objectively measure your progress and adjust programming as needed. You'll leave every session stronger, smarter about your body, and with a clear roadmap for continued improvement.
Career summary and accomplishments:

Best coach I ever had:
My coaching philosophy is rooted in genuine care and personalization. The best coaches I've learned from weren't just technically skilled—they truly invested in their athletes' growth both on and off the field. They listened first, understood individual goals and challenges, then built custom plans that worked for each athlete's unique situation. I bring that same commitment to every session: building confidence, preventing injuries, emphasizing consistent effort over perfection, and creating sustainable long-term progress.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I create a safe, supportive, and results-focused training environment where athletes feel comfortable and motivated. Parents, here's what you should expect: open communication from day one—if something isn't working or I notice concerns, we discuss adjustments together. I prioritize proper technique and injury prevention over pushing harder, especially with younger athletes. Every athlete progresses at their own pace, and I'm transparent about realistic timelines. No quick fixes here—just smart, consistent training that builds real strength, confidence, and lifelong healthy habits. I offer flexible in-person or virtual coaching to fit your family's schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
