Coached by
Nathan
Not a generic running plan. You're coached by a national-level athlete who has competed at the top of football, track and endurance sport.
Few coaches arrive with this range: international football, sprinting, Ironman and rugby, all at a serious level. Since 2024 Nathan has coached a growing group of Wellington athletes chasing a faster first step.

What athletes
& parents say
From athletes, parents and coaches who have trained with Nathan across Wellington.
“Nathan is a great coach who creates a supportive environment. His passion and investment in everyone's personal growth made it fun and ensured we all left feeling faster than ever!”
“Most importantly our kids saw value in the football-focussed sprint strength and power sessions and thought their football improved with this support.”
“Nathan engages really well with the group and they have all enjoyed it, so much so that they looked forward to 7.30am starts on a Saturday morning! All have a much greater appreciation of the fundamentals of speed and have applied their learning in their football trainings and games. All feel sharper and quicker on the football field.”
