Hi, I’m Coach Nate, founder of Recover & Perform.

I’m a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Massage Therapist based in Carlsbad, California, specializing in helping active individuals and athletes move better, recover faster, and perform at their best.

My journey into fitness and recovery began after injuries ended my high school and collegiate running career, leading to years of surgeries and rehabilitation. Those experiences gave me firsthand insight into the physical and mental challenges that come with injury—and ultimately shaped the approach I bring to my work today.

Since moving to California in 2016, I’ve spent over six years working in outpatient spine rehabilitation, helping hundreds of people improve how they move, reduce pain, and return to the activities they enjoy.

Today, I bring these experiences together at DBC Fitness in Carlsbad, integrating bodywork, movement assessment, and strength training to help clients build resilient bodies that support long-term health and performance.

My mission is simple: to help people feel and function at their absolute best.
