About Nigel

Coach with over 7 years experience working with expats, athletes, and rehab patients.

Qualifications:
NASM Certified Personal Trainer
ISSA Accredited Sports Massage Therapist
FiTM Corrective Exercise Specialist
United Kingdom 3 Peaks Challenge Finisher
Neuro Kinetic Therapist (NKT) in training

Here are a few reasons why you can trust me (in chronological order):

1. Got my first 6-pack in a 82kg > 69kg weight cut
2. Joined Nike and Sondico modeling shoots for fun
3. Guided 100+ people through body transformations
4. Bulked from 72kg > 93kg to see how much muscle I could gain
5. Climbed Mt. Kinabalu barefooted
6. For-fun competitive powerlifter (83kg category, 500kg total)
7. Rehabilitated myself from slipped disc injury (L4-L5)
8. Weight cut from 93kg > 80kg in 4 months for 2026 CNY

Currently preparing to compete my first marathon in 2026, Hyrox and Mr. Selangor in 2027.

About the lesson

People usually ask me for:
1. Weight loss coaching
2. Injury rehabilitation/ pain management
3. Sports program consultations
4. Sports massage sessions
5. Fascia and mobility work

Having worked with both athletes and old folks, beginners and advanced folk, my advice will always be specific to where you are at.

Weight Loss:
On average, my clients take 6-9 months for a sustainable full-body transformation (usually 3 months muscle building >> 3 months slow weight cut).

Rehab:
My clients generally see improvements within 2-4 sessions of work, accelerated when they actively do their prescribed "movement homework".

Event prep:
I get folks coming to me to prepare for powerlifting and marathon events, either for rehab, preparation, or conditioning.

Others:
Otherwise, I'm happy to coach/ share knowledge through one-off classes too! These include massage sessions, mobility work, exercise program consultations and so on.

Perfect! Initially I didn't know what to expect with Nigel as this is my first time experiencing fascia release. He was definitely very kind and gentle towards me. Although it's only been my second session with him, I would say he's definitely patient and he keeps thinking of ways to help ease my pain and condition. Thanks Nigel for using all of your knowledge and experiences to help me in my healing journey.

Perfect! I’m blown away by the outcome of how much we achieved in 2 sessions with Nigel’s guidance, which makes me decide to engage him over the long term. My flat feet issue was addressed immediately in the first session, and many more like locked hip, fascia tightness, weak core, back pain, and many more. Nigel is warm, courteous, easy to click, passionate, and very knowledgeable. I didn’t know that engaging with a PT is that fun! His sharp intuition really stands out because he’s able to pinpoint intuitively what muscles to work on to release tension and tightness. He went the extra mile, and he’s such a generous person offering more than the basic PT itself; extra time, extra massage, extra advice, extra nice. Therefore, I feel engaging him is really worth the value.

Perfect! With the constant food check-ins and nutrition guidance, I was able to lose weight from around 97kg to about 91kg within 1 to 2 months. He is caring, patient and encouraging. I would definitely recommend him. When time permits, I would like to further follow up on a more regular basis, the exercise recommendations he has provided on top of the dieting. You won't go wrong engaging Nigel so long as you can commit to follow his professional advise which he tries his best to tailor and suit your circumstances. Keep up the good work Nigel. I approve.

Note on my sessions:
1. We will always start every session with prehab/ rehab work to reduce risk of injury/ recover from injuries.
2. Every session will end with either a fascia release or a short 10 min sports massage session.
3. My rates are based on each session, not per hour. My sessions usually go a little over hour anyway due to 1 and 2.
4. Each session focuses on outcomes, which is why I don't charge based on time.

What age did you start playing sport? Tell us about this time or moment in your life.
I started playing sport at 19. Realising I was overweight, socially awkward, I picked up all sorts of sports to meet people and get in shape - latin dance, parkour, rock climbing, archery, and of course, the gym!
What are your favourite sports; those that you practice at a high level, a simple hobby, and a sport that you'd still like to discover?
My favorite sports would be olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, and strongman; I compete in powerlifting occasionally and run for fun. I'd love to discover wing-suiting and surfing one day!
What gives you the motivation and passion to pursue your sport?
I love lifting big weights, and I love the discipline and structure that powerlifter training brings to my life!
Do you have a sporting achievement that you're particularly proud of?
I have quite a few achievements, but my favorite would be competing with the lightest possible weights at my first powerlifting meet - 2 weeks after being discharged from hospital for a slipped disc (L4-L5). It's not a flashy achievement, but the community support and new friends I made there made the experience memorable.
How have your achievements and challenges made you a better sportsperson?
Definitely! It made me realize that our choices matter, and that we can always strive to be 1% better every day, even when things aren't going our way.
If you had to go for a jog with a famous athlete, who would you choose? And what questions would you ask them?
I'd pick Hafthor Bjornsson, and ask him about his interesting career, do strongman stuff, and try lifting the Husafell stone!
How do you help people stay motivated?
I break their training plan into simple metrics (weight, pain, mobility, exercise performance), and help them improve at least one of these metrics by 1% every session. Great banter helps, too!
What makes you a Superprof in sports?
i) My lived experience transforming from couch potato to athlete. ii) Using my passion as a biomechanics geek to help my clients feel better every day!
