NICK BAGLEY

ABOUT COACH NICK

Nick Bagley is an Online Bodybuilding Prep Coach and In Person Personal Trainer at Destination Dallas in Allen, TX. He started working out at age 16, but got more serious as he entered into college with the hopes of no longer being the small kid in class. Through the pursuit of being bigger, he quickly developed a passion for training and helping others with their fitness goals. Graduating from University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a degree in Kinesiology, he moved to Texas to pursue becoming a personal trainer and breaking into the bodybuilding space in 2019. Along with his Bachelor’s Degree, Nick also has multiple other fitness certifications to add to his continuing education such as NASM CPT, PreScript Level 1 & 2 Coach, PreScript Nutrition, and J3U courses. Nick transitioned his passion for lifting and the stage into his full-time career and focuses on trying to improve the overall process of body transformation to make it a sustainable lifestyle and to help improve the longevity of that individual. He now primarily focuses on stage competitors for all categories and serious lifestyle transformation clients. Teaching athletes how to get more out of their training and nutrition so that they can move better, feel better and look better is his number 1 priority. He has built his experience through working with many different in person and online clients while continuing to build his education in Bodybuilding Coaching. His presence as a coach in the local Texas community has been climbing over the last few years with several class wins and, just this past year, 2 overall class winners at the biggest NPC Texas show, the Battle of Texas. Nick focuses on meeting the individual where they’re at and improving upon the systems they already have in place. Through effective and timely communication and above and beyond service, Nick wants to create a coaching environment that is second to none, providing the individual with as much information and education as possible.

CHECK-INS

Your check in sheet will be completed and sent out by Sunday of every week.

COMMUNICATION

Consistent, fully completed, and on time check-ins in order to allow me to make timely changes to your program. Communication is key! Please be open with communication, as it will allow me to answer your questions and help you reach your goals best.

TRANSPARENCY

Transparency and honesty. We are all human and I expect that occasional flaws and errors will occur. This is completely normal and a part of the process! The key to being a great athlete is also being able to tell me when these things happen so we can work through them together.

CONSISTENCY & EFFORT

Give all of your effort. The amount of effort that you put in to follow the plan will determine your rate of progress!

Expectations with Coach Nick

NUTRITION

macro-based or meal-plan based. Show prep clients will more than likely be on a meal plan, especially the last few weeks leading up to the show. Your caloric intake/foods you eat are a key part in reaching your goals and will be used as a tool to understand your body and guide you to you body composition goals.

CARDIO RECOMMENDATION

Include either steady-state or high-intensity forms of cardio. The specific form of cardio will vary among athletes and their goals. A daily step count recommendation or step goal is included under this service.

TRAINING

Custom programs are available in addition to nutrition coaching. Every training program is customized to the athlete and his or her goals. It is recommended that show prep clients follow both the nutrition and training plan together.

SUPPLEMENTATION

Recommendations are given based upon individual lifestyle and nutrition. Other general health or fitness supplementation is also recommended.

CHECK-INS

Accountability is important to stay on track toward your goals. Weekly check ins with progress photos are required in order for me to make adjustments to your plan and track your progress over time.
