for further interaction and prior to a program commencing
a phone consultation with Nick to fine tune the specific
of your program is undertaken.
Q -
How many athletes do you work with at any one time?
A - It does depend on what time of the season it is
but generally averaging around 30 at any one time throughout
the year. As all programs are individualised and structured
by Nick personally he chooses not to take on every client
that enquires about a program. A waiting list is in
use at certain times of the year.
Q -
Do you specialise in any one distance - eg Ironman?

be on a training program all year round?

their goals and experience so the time off will vary.
