Traveling at an early age gave me a chance to observe how culture, family, food, work, time zone, and weather affect EVERYTHING we do. I launched into Psychology and Anthropology right out of high school to get the gist of “US” humans, and understand the fundamentals that push our buttons and turn us into what we ultimately become: driven, laid back, procrastinators, overachievers… I have been unbelievably lucky over the past few years to experience amazing people from bubble babies (teaching swimming to new borns) to training groups with physical and mental difficulties. When I am not in group coaching settings, my days are filled with even more incredible “people” coming from all horizons harvesting the most diverse hopes, goals, and dreams. I have discovered that in this sugar coated reality there is a great amount of struggle, fear, disorders, disabilities, trauma, and abuse, but I have also seen what a soft approach to an organized diet, a disciplined schedule, a customized exercise routine, a soft hand, a gentle talk, a soothing smile and care can slowly do to the spirit and the body. There is nothing better to me than a smile after a long struggle, a high five after a scale reading, a call after outstanding blood work results, or a joyful text after a successful wedding dress fitting. Life is made of a multitude of small little moments that build a successful and rewarding story, and I want to be part of your moments & story ☺ Education: 1. BA Psychology 2.

Hi! As you know my name is Nicholas Gogel and I am here to guide you to being The Ultimate You! I chose early on to live my life with positivity and to be full of happiness, no matter the circumstances. Life isn’t easy and sometimes the cards that we are dealt are not fair, but its how you choose to play the game that determines the person you become. I was born with Type 1 Diabetes when I was 4 years old, so having to overcome obstacles became part of who I am. I grew up with 3 siblings around the same age, so there was no room for special treatment. I never let being diabetic slow me down one bit, as rather than feeling down about having a disease, I was a student athlete who participated in everything. I could have given up and let my body go, blame it on having bad luck and fold early. Instead I became the best version of myself, always stayed on top of being in the best shape I possibly could, worked out hard, stayed very on top of my diabetes and was even an international model for 10 years with Ford Models. My love for sports, physical activity and delicious cuisine was never effected, as I did not let it! My mom made sure I never felt different and to this day I never see being diabetic as a setback, if anything it shaped the man I am today. I am here to tell you life isn’t easy, but it’s the attitude in which we choose to face these challenges that defines who we are. It’s never too late to become a better you and to feel your best. Lets do this together!!
