Welcome to the Wellness Blog

  1. wellness

    • n.noun
      1. The condition of good physical and mental health, especially when maintained by proper diet, exercise, and habits.

The purpose of this blog is to bring the many facets of wellness together. Being healthy requires a holistic approach to your lifestyle habits…not JUST eating well or JUST exercising or JUST seeing your massage therapist or chiropractor once every couple weeks. In two decades of personal fitness training, there are more times than I care to mention where I have struggled getting this message across to clients, friends and family. In fact, I still do at times. But it doesn’t deter me. And if you know me, you know there’s not much that does deter me. Just as a one dimensional approach to fitness will eventually lead you down the road to injury, a one dimensional approach to your overall health and well being will do the same.

With that said, First Place Fitness is dedicated to bringing you information and guidance from experts in massage therapy, physical therapy, chiropractic care, diet and nutrition, fitness and mental health. I am hoping this community of wellness providers will be able to inspire our readers to begin taking a more holistic approach to leading a healthier lifestyle.

What clients are saying...

During the past year, I had the pleasure of training with Nick. Originally, I thought that getting toned was way out of reach, and defining my abs, well that was in my dreams! Nick shared techniques and a workout plan, which I’ve made part of my routine, simple techniques that I am able to do at home, gym and at the many hotel rooms while I’m away on travel. I am so excited that I can see my abs now. A few months ago at the gym, in two different occasions, I had some ladies come to me asking me if I was a personal trainer. That’s what I call results! Now, I know that’s a stretch, but the point is that it was the best compliment that I could have received…it was inspiring and I’m grateful to Nick, to have given me that inspiration. Thank you, Nick!
