Monthly Client-Ready Programs And Programming Education For Personal Trainers
Are you a personal trainer that spends hours programming every week or month, but still feel like your workouts aren’t producing the results that your clients want?
Do you struggle to program workouts around your clients’ aches and pains that get them progressing without doing a whole bunch of boring “corrective” exercises?
Have you read every book and article on program design and periodization, but still feel lost on how to write programs for general population clients that just want to feel better and enjoy their time in the gym?
If so, it’s not your fault.
There are a ton of resources currently available for trainers to learn how to build programs, but most fall short because they’re usually designed for athletes, powerlifters, or body builders – not the clients that you’re working with 90 percent of the time. You know, the thirty or forty-something client that wants to lose weight but has never trained before and others that actually pay the bills.
That’s because most experts address programming from a general scientific perspective, not a goal-specific one. While they cover basic physiology and discuss the standard scientific principles of exercise and periodization, they fail to offer clear, practical programming instructions you need to be successful.
It’s time that personal trainers gain access to a programming system that simplifies the theory and is heavy on practical solutions.
That’s exactly what you get with a Program Design University monthly membership.
Every month, you get a full month of client-ready workouts + a breakdown of exactly how and why they’re designed — so you can use them immediately AND learn program design at the same time.
A Program Design University (PDU) Membership Includes:
Monthly Client Programs Designed By Nick With Breakdowns and Context
Immediate Access To Hours Of Courses and Video Lessons

Who Is Program Design University For?
Most programming resources are either too scientific or not scientific enough. That makes it hard to reconcile the foundational principles of exercise that fitness professionals know to be important while still giving clients the variety and fun they crave. Additionally, most program design books and manuals are missing the human element of coaching. They teach trainers how to build workouts that make sense on paper but fail to address important components such as preferences, training environment (big box gym, in-home, etc.), and client limitations. These variables can make or break a training career.
Unlike traditional programming resources, Program Design University includes these real-world training situations in the creation process and educates by reverse engineering tried-and-true workouts.
If you’re a trainer or coach who:
- Works with everyday clients, seniors, or clients with aches and pains
- Wants a simple but effective method of creating great programs
- Struggles to balance consistency and variety in workouts
Program Design University is built for you!

You’ll know exactly why Nick chose each exercise, the sets, reps, and how he’d tweak the variables over time.

Inside Your Membership
First, you get access to a guided sequence of lessons that walk you through the core principles of effective program design and Nick’s signature SPE system.
This gives you a clear framework to work from—something most coaches never formally develop. The material is structured, easy to follow, and takes roughly two to three hours to complete.
Additionally, you have a full course library. This includes over 18 hours of additional content covering topics like exercise selection, progressions and regressions, and how to adapt programs to different clients.
This allows you to choose your own path and learn more about training topics you are most interested in.
Finally, each month includes a detailed breakdown of a real training program, where every decision is explained step by step. This helps bridge the gap between theory and application by showing you exactly how programming decisions are made in context.
These are all recorded and saved, so you’ll be able to go back and review them as long as you’d like.
Bonus: Ongoing Coaching And Feedback
One of the biggest differences with Program Design University is that it’s not just a passive learning experience.
Inside the private community, you can ask Nick questions at any time and get direct feedback. You’ll also see the questions and scenarios other coaches are dealing with, which gives you exposure to a wide range of real-world situations.
That means you have one of the best coaches in the world constantly steering your programming in the right direction.
This creates an environment where you’re not just learning concepts—you’re seeing how those concepts are applied, adjusted, and refined in actual coaching contexts.
