Meet Nicholas Anderson of Legion Tactical Athletics in Ventura

Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicholas Anderson.

Nicholas, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Two and a half years ago, here in Ventura, CA, I began my journey as a specialized strength and movement coach through learning a system called TACFIT from its creator, Scott Sonnon, and its educational director Alberto Gallazzi. I have since deepened my practice of this system while also expanding my education of various strength and movement methodologies. From barbells, kettlebells, clubbells, gymnastic rings, bodyweight, or Prasara (flow) yoga; I use all of theirs in my pursuit to help people develop a movement practice that enhances their quality of life.

My motto is: Lift heavy – Move lightly- Live better.

I now am based at a wonderful gym called The Studio Ventura, and look forward to everyday helping people become stronger.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
In fitness there is always a struggle. There are so many arbitrary and fad approaches that suck people in and offer no tangible proof or progress or even care about the person engaged in it.

People get hurt or don’t understand what or why they are doing something. So, finding a way to convey informational that is relevant to each person individually and show why they should practice with me has been the biggest obstacle.

I’ve had to learn the ins and outs of social media marketing and also learn how to tailor how I create training for any person from any background at any level.

Also holding side jobs to keep income in while building my practice.

But the road has been beyond rewarding and I strive to keep building it.

Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Legion Tactical Athletics – what should we know?
As a strength and movement coach, I pride myself in helping people move in ways they never knew they could, become stronger than they thought they could become, and learn new skills they never knew were accessible to them.

I strive to be a specialist in helping anybody and everybody from all walks of life as long as they are eager to learn and work.

What sets me apart from other coaches is what I learned from my coaches in the TACFIT system, is to base how I teach off of the person’s needs and not off of what I want.

Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Every entrepreneur, I feel needs ambition, creativity, and a sense of community.

You cannot succeed alone.

I also feel it’s important to walk your talk. I try to live and embody ALL I teach so I may lead by example.

I learned how to lead from the front from my coach Aberto Gallazzi.

This is always at the forefront of whatever I do. How can I put all my heart into my projects and how can I be the first example of it so I can effectively share it creatively with my community.
