He is also co-host of the RP Strength podcast with his wife - and RP colleague - Lori Shaw.

As a former competitive powerlifter and bodybuilder, Nick has also personally coached numerous world-class athletes, including CrossFit Games Champions, international medalists, Olympians, UFC fighters, professional athletes, and Navy SEALs.

The RP team of coaches currently boasts 20 PhDs in the fields of Sports Physiology, Sports Performance, Sports Nutrition and even Cellular/Molecular Biology with an emphasis in Nutritional Physiology. Five members of the RP team are Registered Dietitians, with others working towards their RDs. Unrivaled in the fitness industry, a large portion of the RP staff are as much renowned academics as they are themselves world-class athletes. the entire team is passionate about the work they do to help hundreds of thousands of clients worldwide improve their health and meet goals. We have a wonderful conversation about fitness, nutrition, and Nick’s personal journey.
