Nicholas Burch
Profile Details
Personal Trainer, Golf Fitness Trainer
Nick Burch started playing golf in high school and ultimately had a handicap in the high teens shortly after graduating college. Shortly after graduating from University of Tampa with a Bachelors of Science degree, Nick’s golf outings dwindled and were replaced by kickboxing matches and endurance races.
These experiences compelled him to pursue a career in personal training and upon joining Tampa Strength in 2017, he realized that his background lent itself to helping golfers improve every aspect of their fitness.
During his tenure at Tampa Strength, Nick has been able to create workout programs for elite golfers, recreational golfers, and non-golfers. Regardless of your fitness goals, Nick can help you achieve them.
