His passion lies in biomechanical testing, where he helps clients optimize their performance by understanding their individual needs.
His technique is superb, and all of his clients learn something new. Marcel moved to College Station with his wife, a postdoctoral fellow at Texas A&M University. Outside of work, Marcel loves playing racket sports, especially tennis, and exploring new fitness techniques.

Nick brings over 35 years of personal training experience to Helioss. His fitness journey began with strength training for hockey in his homeland of Canada. He later transitioned into more than two decades of powerlifting and strongman competitions. If you love to lift heavy, he’s your guy. Recently, he’s become hooked on high-intensity interval and endurance training on his Peloton bike. When he’s not in the studio with clients, he enjoys relaxing at home with his wife Sonya, their four ill-behaved dogs, and two curious cats.
