Having weight trained and exercised seriously for over 50 years, I can say with confidence, Nicholas is the best of the best. He helped me with an injury I had with my left knee, which has subsided after his science-based methods.

My appreciation for Nicholas comes from years of training with him. Poulin Health & Wellness is beyond a personal training club with a scientific training method, a hyper-exclusive membership, but what won me over to Poulin Health & Wellness was the privacy at first. During months of three weekly visits to the gym, which is hidden away in Manhattan, I was usually alone except for Nicholas working me out. Nicholas even accommodated me at my residence if my schedule was tight on time. Nicholas sealed the envelope of personal attention, away from crowds and noise and other people's sweat, I existed in a bubble, free of any self-conscious-making reminders of the gap between this gym experience and everyone else's. There was none of the usual gym static—grunting exhibitionists, untoweled-off benches, waiting for machines. It was just me, my body, and a steadily improving relationship between them.

A good chunk of what a Poulin Health & Wellness member is paying for is the chance to be alone to focus on their health & fitness goals in private. Luxury, I was coming to see, is often not about getting something extra but about getting away from everyone else. A seamlessly hermetic life lived twenty-four-seven would be sterile and isolating, but a couple of hours of it a few times a week was therapeutic and well worth paying for.

Thanks for everything, Nick!
