"When I started, I weighed 255 pounds and was recovering from Lyme disease that left the left side of my body paralyzed. I felt broken, tired, and unsure if I could ever be strong again. But following the Master Method changed everything. I’ve lost over 100 pounds, I can squat more than double my body weight, and at 53, I’m bench pressing 135 pounds — something I never thought possible. I’m stronger, healthier, and happier than I ever was in my 40s. I don’t just move better — I live better. Masterpiece Fitness gave me back the life I thought I lost.!"

I started my fitness journey at 56 years old — tired, carrying extra weight, and wondering if I’d missed my chance. With the structure and support of Nico's Masterpiece Method, I dropped 30 pounds and, a year later, stepped on stage for my first bodybuilding competition. At 57, I was leaner, more confident, and in better shape than I’d ever been in my life. This experience reminded me that age is just a number — and when you take ownership, you can rewrite your story at any time."

"I never saw myself as someone who could step on a bodybuilding stage — that felt miles away from who I was. But Nico’s coaching helped me break through the mental barriers and plateaus that held me back for years. His guidance gave me the structure, belief, and push I needed to compete in my first show — something I never thought I’d be able to accomplish. I walked off that stage not just proud of my body, but proud of the man I’ve become."
