Mike Nicholson

Mike was part of the Team USA Athletic Training staff for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Working with world class athletes and coaches taught Mike vast knowledge and application tools that became useful pieces of insight he shared with his clients as he went on to become an Elite Trainer at The Sports Center at Chelsea Piers.

He trained clientele at Chelsea Piers for four years where he helped all types of New Yorkers reach a variety of fitness and wellness goals. In 2010, Mike was Chelsea Piers Coach of the Year. His workouts were featured in Self Magazine, Glamour Magazine and on SpikeTV’s show Playbook. He then became an integral part of the strategic business development team that launched SurfSET Fitness, brought it on the television show Shark Tank and secured an investment from Mark Cuban.  

Mike’s favorite quote is Thoreau’s, “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams; live the life you’ve imagined.”  He really enjoys bringing out the best in people, so he strives to help his clients live the life they desire through positive coaching techniques and a compound approach to achieving goals while living a balanced and fun lifestyle.
