What They Say About Ian

I’ve been doing PT’s with Ian for the last 12 weeks and I can’t even begin to describe how valuable this journey has been and how it has changed my life on all levels, physically and mentally.

My goal was to build strength, get more flexible, being able to do pull-ups and just overall get fitter and leaner.

What I gained through Nirvana Strength and Ian’s sessions, in addition to crushing all my goals, was life-changing habits, deep knowledge, humble confidence and results worth more than anything I’ve ever experienced in the realm of health and fitness.

I wish everyone could experience this!

I started training with Ian twice a week since October to help with recovery from a broken bone. I didn’t have any goals when I first started, but through training with Ian, he’s helped me identify other areas that needed attention, especially my flexibility. I find getting 1 on 1 training beneficial because I won’t fall into bad habits or bad form. I also like training with Ian because he’s patient, non-judgemental, and really knowledgeable. My favorite thing about her workouts is the end and the sauna.

I have been into personal fitness for a few years due to health reasons and am generally anxious in group classes and gym environments. I needed help to get my knee run-ready for 30km and found Ian through Instagram. Ian’s experience as a professional athlete and his ethos of mobility over beach muscles made.

I decided to work with him. Ian helped me with exercises, tension release, alignment adjustments, recovery, and nutrition tips.

I highly recommend Ian for his experience, knowledge, application of tension release, and likeability.

I went to Nirvana strength coming from a desk job background and looking to increase strength, mobility and general physical ability with the aim of getting outdoor sports like surfing. In the previous year I’d had two quite big injuries and these had kept me from sport. Ian was my personal training in Bali over 6 weeks, and then as a virtual coach over 6 months. What stood out to me in the quality of coaching was both the level of personalisation for the workout programs, as well as attention to detail for the delivery of personal training sessions. I can say over never been in so much pain as I felt in the last few reps of each set, and the results came through as ian took me beyond my standard comfort zone and discovered new layers of power, while maintaining perfect form. After leaving Bali I followed the programs ian designed for me personally, and can say I’ve been injury free ever since and fully functional for my sporting and lifestyle goals. I recently returned to Bali and continued personal sessions with Ian to build on progress from the past year. Despite his busy schedule he made time to train me, so thank you ian, and strongly recommend. One final comment is that the exercises are all designed to take your body through a full range of motion, and I found the benefits of these as great as the strength benefits.. and you feel amazing after!

Craig Smith

I came to Ian because I had a hip flexor injury but also knew I had connected issues with my hip mobility and hyper mobility.

Ian was able to look at my ability and test my range, where he came up with various solutions.

After a few days, the injury I had was noticeably better and was able to continue some of the exercises he prescribed. It’s amazing after trying all sorts of treatments that spending just an hour with Ian has helped solve some of my biggest pain areas.

Ian is highly knowledgeable in what he does. Go to someone who lives and breathes in an environment where they are continuing to evolve, create new solutions and believe in living optimally and longevity as a core value. I would undoubtedly recommend Ian to anyone who is looking for help like this

Pip

I have had the opportunity to experience Ian’s training styles both remotely (I live in Canada) and in person. After 12 weeks of remote training that noticeably made a difference in my strength and massive reduction in lower back pain, I decided to book a trip to Bali and experience in person 1:1 training. If you’re not willing to fly across the world to train with your coach, you may need to rethink the fit OR are they really meeting your training needs?

I connected with Ian via Instagram because of his discipline and dedication to movement, mobility and his training style that prioritizes fundamentals and builds for longevity. Seeing this, I knew I had to reach out to him to see what we could do and where to begin after a few years of dealing with an L5-S1 injury and sporadic lower back pain.

Ian’s knowledge and dedication to optimizing human performance is unlike any other trainer I have worked with to date. I would undoubtedly speak to and recommend Ian to anyone who is looking to build a solid foundation, increase strength and mobility, and learn fundamental exercises.

Brittany Hill

I came to Ian because I had a hip flexor injury but also knew I had connected issues with my hip mobility and hypermobility. Ian is very easy to work with, and his knowledge gave me confidence and comfort throughout the process. He has taught me discipline in training, and his expertise has been invaluable in my journey.

Not only that, but I have also gained strength and gotten stronger in my flexibility training with Ian. Training with him has always been fun, as he is very supportive and believes in what you can achieve. His enthusiasm and encouragement have made every session enjoyable and motivating.

After a session with Ian the injury I had was noticeably better, and I was able to continue some of the exercises he prescribed. His guidance and personalized approach have played a significant role in my progress and recovery.

It’s amazing that after trying all sorts of treatments, spending just an hour with Ian has helped solve some of my biggest pain areas. If you would like to reach certain goals in your training, Ian is able to help you. He is highly knowledgeable in what he does and is dedicated to continuously evolving, creating new solutions, and promoting optimal living and longevity as core values.

I would undoubtedly recommend Ian to anyone who is looking for help like this. Working with him has been a transformative experience that has not only improved my physical well-being but also instilled discipline and made training enjoyable. Ian’s expertise, support, and belief in his clients’ potential make him an exceptional trainer.
