Nate Simmers

Personal Trainer

My name is Nathan Simmers. I’m an expert in “Practical Training for Everyday Living As You Age.” I have a passion for people like you because too many people in the fitness industry ignore the unique needs of older adults who want to stay “in the game”!

I’ve helped hundreds of older adults find balance, work through injury recovery, develop nutrition for a healthy life and live longer, pain-free. I don’t meet many who want to compete in world bodybuilding championships ... but I’ve met MANY people like you!

People going through physical therapy exercises, injury prevention exercises, and trying to figure out how to live healthier lives … without pain!
