A Proven Background in Strength & Performance

Whether working with a 12-year-old athlete or an 82-year-old looking to improve mobility, Nick Braley is dedicated to helping every client feel better, move better, get stronger, and unlock the benefits that come from being in peak physical condition.

Nick is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA) with a B.S. in Exercise Science and more than 25 years of coaching experience. His training approach centers on the proven method of progressive overload, combined with proper breathing, movement mechanics, and consistent effort — ensuring safe, measurable, and sustainable progress for all fitness levels.

In addition to his personal training credentials, Nick is a 2nd-degree Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt with over a decade of teaching experience. From 2011–2017, he owned and operated a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu / Strength & Conditioning gym, and he currently teaches at Triumph Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Nashua, NH. This diverse background allows him to design programs that build not only strength, but also agility, endurance, and functional, real-world fitness.
 

Fitness Results with All Ages and Goals​

Nick’s clients describe him as a skilled coach, patient teacher, and creative problem-solver — someone who listens, adapts, and delivers challenging yet achievable programs tailored to each individual. His coaching has helped clients:

 

  • Progress from bodyweight squats to deadlifting over 500 pounds

  • Reverse osteoporosis after decades of diagnosis

  • Build race-ready strength and endurance in just a few months

  • Recover from injuries while regaining mobility and confidence

  • Establish long-term training habits that support lasting health

With years of expertise, genuine care, and just the right touch of humor, Nick creates an environment where hard work feels rewarding and progress is inevitable. Fitness is not just about workouts — it’s about guiding each person to their own apex of strength, health, and well-being.
 

From body weight squats to powerlifting over 500lbs. Nick has helped me better understand my overall physical health and improved my strength 10x fold. Highly recommend him for any level of personal training that you need.
