About Me
Hi, I'm Nathan Kim.
The NLK stems from the initials of my full name, Nathan Lee Kim.
NASM Certified Personal Trainer · Certified Nutrition Coach · Senior Fitness Specialist · Corrective Exercise Specialist · Behavior Change Specialist · CPR, AED & First Aid Certified
I'm also a Sports Management graduate from the University of Connecticut, with experience across organizations including the Philadelphia Flyers, UConn Athletics, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and The Team (formerly Wasserman).
Fitness has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up playing competitive soccer, basketball, and track, and I've spent over 3 years coaching clients, over 8 years weightlifting and more than 7 years boxing. That lifelong athletic background is what shaped how I coach today. I've also spent time at a few personal training gyms and coached youth soccer with Soccer Shots for 3+ years, experiences that taught me just as much about people as they did about training.
I also founded a personal training club at my university. The idea for my training club actually started with a single conversation. I was at the gym and offered someone some guidance on their form. They told me they had never had anyone offer to help them like that before. That moment stuck with me. It made me realize how many people want guidance and support but don't know where to start or feel intimidated to ask. That's what led me to found a personal training club at UConn, and it's the same reason I do what I do now.
My Promise
No 30-Day Miracles.
I won't promise you a transformation in thirty days. I won't tell you that one program is going to change your life overnight, because that's not realistic, and I don't believe in selling people something that isn't true.
What I will do is help you build real, sustainable habits. Ones that outlast any single program and actually stick because they're built around your life, not a generic plan.
Whether we're training in your home, at your country club, or working together through online coaching, my approach stays the same. I meet you where you are, I build around who you are, and I care about the person behind the goal, not just the goal itself.
