Nathan Luce
I am a Certified NASM personal trainer. Helping people through proper nutrition and exercise has always been a passion of mine. I help clients achieve their fitness and health goals through motivating and educating them. It’s much more than giving out exercise orders; Personal Trainers save lives. I have the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients, identifying their goals and writing personalized programs for them. I can also assist with injury rehabilitation or work with specialty conditions. This means I have an understanding of anatomy, physiology, and corrective exercise. All this pays off when you realize you're making a positive difference in the lives of others. You could be helping people add years to their lifespan or possibly saving them from an operation. I also compete in the natural NPC/WFBB of bodybuilding and absolutely love it. I have also teamed up with a dietary supplement company called Nutrition53. They have quality vegan protein powders that have no artificial flavors, colors, fillers or preservatives. Being a personal trainer I wanted to team up with a company that had a quality product that will speed up the recovery time for a faster transformation.

Train smarter not harder. This program is designed for you to lift every other day with no cardio. If you focus on your intake of nutrients and vitamins you will not have to worry about retaining fat. My program is designed with three different routines to detail the whole body. This is called horizontal loading when you lift 1-2 muscles a day. It also allows other muscles that have not been worked to fully recover. Like the founding fathers of lifting in the Venice Golds Gym, I put the pushing and pulling muscles together. Chest and Tricep (pushing) on one day and Back and Bicep (pulling) the next. Shoulders and legs have there own day day because there are so many muscle fibers in each to target, they need there own day to detail each muscle. Each routine is three weeks long, and then the weeks after there are all new variations that target the same prime movers. Studies have shown after three weeks your body adapts to the strain and tension placed upon it. If you never fully adapt, your body will continue to grow and receive amazing results. The first lift of every day is the most physically demanding and is a full body compound lift. I make this the first lift so you use all your energy and effort towards this lift because it will sculpt the whole body and engage every muscle fiber. Break at least 2 min in between sets to be fully recovered before your start the next set. Your performance and effort will improve and your joints and tendons will fully recover. The last week is hypertrophy, which means a large amount of blood flow to your muscle which in return will enlarge the surrounding skeletal tissue and fibers around the muscle. More tension placed on the muscle equals more results.

Difficulty: Advanced

Days per week:
Program length: X weeks
This circuit is for those who want to be more mobile and functional. All the lifts stabilize your whole body and engage all your muscles. Because these lifts are in a circuit/interval fashion you will raise your heart rate and burn calories at the same time. This circuit will build endurance and strengthen your respiratory system/lungs. Each day is designed to target individual muscles of the body to detail every muscle fiber and to allow other muscles that weren't worked that day to fully recover. That is why I grouped the force couples together like back and bicep/chest and tricep.

OPT Training
Difficulty: Advanced
Muscle Group(s): Full body
Days per week: 5
Program length: 9 weeks
Opt training covers all areas of fitness. Balance, Core, Plyometrics, Stability, Strength, Power and full body planes of motion. Week 1-3 Stabilization of the spine and pelvic region with self resisted planes and condition the whole body with repetitions 12-20. Week 4-6 Strength is the building phase which will put on lean muscle. Since repetitions range from 8-12 you will introduce your body to heavier weight. This will cause more tension on the muscle so it will grow once it adapts to the strain placed upon it. Week 7-9 Power stage is to get the body in more athlete shape and focus on the performance of lifting. This stage is fast paced and will burn calories when your lifting heavy loads of weight.
