"FNMS was the best investment I ever made as a coach. PERIOD. I'm so excited to keep learning and changing lives"
-Meagan Hayes
Monarch Fitness Community
Sam’s knowledge and how he imparts that knowledge through his FNMS class vastly changed my approach to coaching my clients. Going into the class I felt confident in my own ability but after working with Sam he filled in gaps I didn’t even know I had as a coach. Not only is Sam a class act but he meets you where you are as a coach and immediately elevates your game. Work with him and be changed for the better.

"It's perfect in my opinion. I've done quite a few courses and FNMS is the top by far. It is a great balance of learning and reassurance."

Here are a few ways
FNMS IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PROGRAMS
Companies sell as many programs as possible as a self study or DIY course, offer no live support, mail some textbooks or post some videos and cross your fingers that these self-starters educate themselves enough to help a few clients.
The FNMS Experience
Live mentorship and coaching from industry leading professionals
Collaborative and Controlled learning environments to ensure your success and support
More than just theory- learn from real client cases, practical application, and our unmatched quick reference guides
A dedicated team of experts devoted to leveling up your coaching acumen…
Innovative methods you won’t find ANYONE ELSE teaching correctly. We developed it, we teach it. Period. This is the ONLY place you’ll find these methods taught
Hundreds of pages of coaching-specific resources, manuals, cheat sheets and a coaching video library that might as well replace your favorite streaming service…
Saves you years of self study, and even has the potential to earn or save you money through client results, retention, and referrals
Other programs…
Monotonous DIY or Self Study Materials without any live support
Being left to your own devices or worse yet, being put in a group of coaches as lost as you are
Offer no connection, community, or collaboration
Based on vague theory and approaches that lack context or individualization for client application
An automated support line or non existent client support…
Leave you needing to invest in more courses to solve the puzzle
Tackle only one or two areas leaving you floundering and failing to understand full body systems and physiology (aka metabolism)
Teaching the same, outdated methods and rhetoric everyone else is ultimately cheating you out of time AND money - neither of which you can afford to lose

HOW IT IS DELIVERED
BUT
IS THIS FOR ME?
THIS IS FOR...
You value lifelong learning as a health professional
You have a baseline certification, degree, or two
You have an active client roster with more than just a couple clients and have spent hours upon hours in the trenches
You know that you don’t know everything and have a lot left to learn. You want to expand your arsenal and challenge your biases.
You know that there’s more to the story than calories, sets, and reps, and you want to be equipped to provide a better client experience
You are willing to invest in valuable opportunities that contribute to your long term growth and ROI
WHO THIS IS NOT FOR...
You are a health enthusiast who aspires to be a coach someday…
You are here without a certification of any kind, or any active clients
You think they know everything there is to know about client transformation
You think updating a calorie count or a single sentence reply email to your clients is comprehensive coaching
You have self limiting beliefs around personal development and investing in your growth
You are unwilling to be resourceful in order to pursue a high ROI opportunity for your business

BRIAN
When it comes to health, fitness, and nutrition Brian has seen all sides of the game. From his own personal health journey to his advanced studies in Biology, Biochemistry, and Biomedicine he has an obsession with the minutia of the body and how it interacts with every external input without losing focus on how it all applies to the bigger picture. He received his undergraduate in Biology from UNCG and his master's from the Technical University of Munich in Germany. Besides mastering the intricacies of nutrition and biochemistry Brian also loves music and was once in a touring band - he’s also played classical guitar at weddings and other events.
