About
Nick Poppa - Functional Fitness & Holistic Health Coach
At one point, my health revolved around fitness – and my fitness around aesthetics.
That path led me to living with chronic back pain and a labrum tear in my shoulder. I shortly realized that aesthetics, although nice to have, was not what mattered. Rather, the functional capacity of my body mattered the most. In addition to the physical pursuits and injuries, I had battled addiction for many years. Challenged on not only the physical front, but mental, as well.
​
​My desire for growth, pursuit of knowledge, and excellence brought me to the CHEK Institute, the most integrated approach to health, well-being and fitness. I hadn't found a system like it.
​
What followed was the new-found awareness and understanding that food and water, thoughts, environment, and the way my body moved all influenced one another. Not one system in the body works alone. On top of that, not one person has the exact same needs. From here, I took my health into my own hands. I developed a personal practice by first rewiring my body and gut – and then my mind, utilizing the tools I learned to not just manage but eliminate my pain and find purpose in my life.
​
This ultimately led to the discovery of my dream. Guiding individuals like yourself to get out of pain and live a life full of health, connection, happiness and purpose. Most importantly, living in FLOW (Functional Lifestyle of Wellness).
