From Professionals
Nick Rosencutter is a top notch coach and trainer. Nick spent over four months with me as an intern; he was one of the hardest working, yet open-minded, individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Nick brought his A-game every single day in an effort to improve himself as a trainer and coach.
While it’s often cliché, Nick not only talks the talk, but he walks the walk. Nick has competed at a high-level as a powerlifter, and knows what it’s like to go through a tough workout. His rare combination of book knowledge with in the trenches understanding and know-how makes him a top notch trainer and someone I’m proud to have worked with.

It is my pleasure to recommend Nick Rosencutter. I am co-owner of Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training (IFAST) and Clinical Rehabilitation Manager for Methodist Occupational Health Centers in Indianapolis. I came to know Nick through our internship program at IFAST. In fact, Nick was our very first intern. Through our internship, Nick was exposed to all facets of the sports and fitness training industry. Nick gained direct experience in the assessment of general fitness clients and athletes as well as designing programs for clients of all levels from the general fitness client to the high level athlete. He also gained a great deal of experience in working directly with our clientele in implementing their training programs.
At IFAST, we found Nick to have already established a solid foundation of fundamental knowledge of training theory and the science that underlies it. It was very easy to build upon that knowledge and Nick demonstrated his ability to integrate his new understanding into his training approach within the IFAST system.
Nick thinks quickly on his feet and is very adaptable to situations that may require the application of personal creativity to meet clients’ needs at any moment. Nick was able to reach a point of independence that no longer required direct supervision in working with clients. To this day, our clients continue to compare each new intern to Nick as he set a very high standard for all future interns.
Nick continues to make efforts to expand his knowledge base and seeks out every opportunity to learn as I have personally seen him at several educational conferences since his internship. Nick has also branched out on his own in starting his own thriving sports and fitness training business and remains motivated to expand his skill set. I strongly recommend Nick to all varieties of clients.

Hello! My name is Reverend Mark Mastin. As someone who is active in ministry, there can be a tendency for one to neglect one’s health and fitness. And, as one gets older (I am 53 years old), it can become difficult to have the energy or desire to try to lose weight or to get fit again.
Back in September of 2009, I made a decision to get healthy and physically fit. According to my doctor, I was some 24 plus pounds overweight and really had no muscle strength or tone. But thanks to Nick Rosencutter, my trainer, I was able to not only meet my goals of loosing weight and building up muscle mass, but to exceed goals. Nick helped me to achieve this success in various ways. I still train with Nick as of the writing of this letter.
First, before any training took place, he measured and analyzed my body structure in order to determine my fitness and mobility level and then establish a personalized program that I could gradually work with.
Second, we discussed issues of diet, which included carbs versus protein levels. We likewise talked about the science, the reasons why and the types of weight training sets and exercises that I would be performing. As I now know, eating well and cardio aerobic style exercising is only one part of a healthy lifestyle and losing excess body fat. Weight training is absolutely necessary to successfully lose fat and help a person to become fully fit.
And so, out of this discussion, Nick created a weight training and cardiovascular routine that would challenge me and yet have a built in safety factor to protect me from any type of injury. And this is the best part of Nick as a trainer. Someone who pushes you, encourages you, and yet Nick is always there watching your movements to make sure that you are training properly so that you can optimize your workouts while providing a high margin of safety and care. Additionally, Nick is intermittingly re-measuring you to visually show you how you are progressing.
Overall, in about 8 to 9 weeks, I went from 162 pounds to 138 pounds. I have gained good muscle tone and strength, along with smoother abs and a slimmer waistline. I feel good and I am thinking more clearly than I was in my 20’s. Was it hard at times to do this? Of course. But once you get over those first few weeks and listen to what Nick is saying, you will see the rewards of your efforts. And this success has not just been with me, I have seen Nick have success with others who are both young and older adults.
So, if you are looking for a trainer who is an expert in his field and is personable, then Nick Rosencutter is someone I highly recommend.

Hi, my name is Penny Maier and I am currently working with Nick as my personal trainer. In the December of '09, after turning 35, I noticed I was looking “frumpy” and was having upper and lower back pain as well as right shoulder pain. I attributed my back pain to working in the health care field (I’m a registered nurse) and my right shoulder pain to being an athlete most of my life (I still play competitive volleyball). I have also “worked out” or kept in shape most of my life, or so I thought. So I decided to try personal training and if that wasn’t going to work I was planning on trying a chiropractor. It took a lot of courage for me to get a fitness evaluation. It’s not fun hearing about your “weak” areas or having your love handles and back fat measured with a caliper, but I survived. My first training session, well that’s another story.
I met with Nick the week after my fitness evaluation for my first one-hour session. We started out with the foam roller (I have since bought one) and a number of warm up exercises. I was thinking this isn’t that bad, not realizing it was just the warm up. Then we moved on to using equipment I never thought I would use. We were in the area where all the body building men worked out. I thought to myself “I don’t belong in here.” I was used to using the cardio equipment, lifting 2-5# dumbbells and/or the weight machines (15-20#’s the most). So after learning how to squat, do rows and plenty of exercises that are actually effective, we moved on to cardio. I was exhausted, but continued with doing step-ups and pad pushing (I could only do 2 out of 3 sets). I’m not going to lie I thought I was going to die, but it’s exactly what I needed. After stretching and resting for a bit I felt like I was training for college volleyball tryouts again. After that feeling I couldn’t wait for my next workout.
I have been training with Nick 1-2 times per week since January of 2010 and each session has gotten easier. Every new workout is challenging but with Nick’s quiet confidence and extensive knowledge base he pushes me to the next level. I do front and back squats as well as dead lifts and even pull ups. I have shed lots of body fat and I am pain free in my back and my right shoulder is about 95%. It’s amazing. I am eating better and I have a lot more energy. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone of any age. He knows his stuff and has helped me to look, and feel, good again.

My name is Joy and I am 42 years old and have been training with Nick for almost a year. When Nick asked me to write a testimonial my immediate thought was that will be easy, because my experience in training with Nick has been extraordinary. I have trained with four other trainers before Nick and there is no comparison. I was impressed from the beginning when he gave me my evaluation he took his time and was very thorough.
Nick designs a program that I always feel is a full body workout I am always amazed at what we accomplish in an hour. He helps me to build on my weaknesses and always recognizes my achievements. Nick has not only taught me how to properly strength train but has also given me useful tools I can use in my everyday activities.
In the past when I have worked with trainers, I have been pushed to the point of pain and agony, Nick has never pushed me to that point but guides me to building strength and stamina in a way that will not cause strain. I see in Nick the passion and dedication he has in being a strength trainer and I feel very lucky to benefit from that.
-Joy Gillitzer
Daily, Nick Rosencutter lives and breathes his passion and that is living your passion. I have worked with personal trainers before and up until now I never knew what I was missing out on. However now that I know what I didn’t know I should ask those other trainers for my money back. Here is a man who truly cares about your physical fitness condition. He lives and breathes his passion, in his own words his job is not a job it’s a passion he lives every day.

I know all the training I got with Nick in the off season helped me because this year i saw a lot more power in my swing, and i felt faster. My junior year i only had 3 homeruns all year, and this year i had 13 homeruns, a high school record. As far as speed goes,. my numbers improved from my junior season to my senior season and i was able to steal more bases this year. I also had a shoulder injury and i needed some rehab before i could do any playing. My shoulder feels stronger than ever and it has been a great rehab process. Overall i feel like this has been the strongest i have ever been and it really showed with the breakout season that I had this year on the way to our second consecutive state championship.

My name is Todd Maier and I am a 38 year old firefighter. I was introduced to Nick through my wife Penny. I had a gut feeling that Nick was the "real deal" after his first session with my wife. She came home after the initial assessment and couldn't stop talking about it. She was so excited to share every subsequent workout and how much she enjoyed them. In the back of my mind I knew this was something I should do but my ego just kept getting in the way. I grew up lifting weights and "knew what I was doing".
In fall of 2010, while lifting a patient, I suffered a significant back injury. After almost nine months of little improvement, and a few relapses, I realized that I didn't know what I was doing. I thought disability was in my future so I made the decision to kill my ego and see Nick.
The initial assessment was uncomfortable to say the least, but as expected Nick was very professional in his approach. He knew exactly what was causing my pain, and we immediately went to work. Fortunately my years of weight lifting were not completely wasted as I was able to quickly pick up on most of my workouts. Since our first session my gains have been incredible. I am pain free, stronger, more flexible, and able to perform my duties at an extremely high level. As an example, I am dead lifting 225 for reps and not looking back. I would have thought this was impossible just nine months ago. I have also transformed my eating habits due to his recommendation of "Warp Speed Fat Loss". My body fat has melted and I can't begin to explain how good I feel. Some of my brothers and sisters on the job also began to see Nick and we are developing a true fitness culture in our department.
I can't thank my wife enough for her courage in taking the initial step consulting with Nick. His teaching and guidance have improved our life and those of my closest friends. If you truly want results and are willing to work, Nick will get you there.

My name is Tony Garrett. Before I met Nick I had back pain that was getting so bad I was unable to do many of the things I had done for years, such as yard work and playing golf. I had been to specialists, other trainers, therapists, etc. without much luck. Some surgeons even wanted to cut me open although they didn't know what they were trying to find. I thought I was done. After much time wasted taking cortisone shots to ease my pain, I decided to try something new. After working with Nick for almost 9 months, not only is my back almost normal again but my entire body feels great and looks better. I am doing yardwork with no problems and due to the increased strength and quality of movement I have developed, I am playing golf more effectively then I did before. I now understand the correct way to train and move and am glad to know that my body has found relief. Nick is a miracle worker!

"Thank you for helping me to achieve my current state of fitness. Skirt fits and in another week or two it may even be loose. You are my hero!
-With gratitude, Debra Ruane.
Thanks for being so helpful - these new routines are really brightening my life and for the first time in my life I enjoy doing these things!
-Your adopted Grandma, Sharon
Regarding my training, I want to thank you for all you've done in helping me along the road of recovery. You have the unique talent of understanding both the art and science behind personal fitness and training. I feel that this comes across in the sessions as you motivate and inspire me to give my best.
