"Look Good.
Move Good.
Feel Good."
I am Nick Mangum, Owner and Founder of NMT Performance and Fitness. Also the Head Trainer and Performance Coach of NMT Performance and Fitness LLC. Starting out as a young athlete, I played organized football from High School all the way to the Collegiate Level. I am born and raised in the town of Nutley, NJ and I graduated from Nutley High School as well. Then moving to College, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Exercises Science from Montclair State University, Go HAWKS!! At the senior high school level I started helping out with sessions under the guidance of a sports program run by Don Sellari, owner and head trainer at Beyond Potential, which I then began training one on ones and small groups solely under that program. Which I then started assisting with athletic high school and collegiate teams, as well as youth level athletes all throughout my High School and College career.
That is where I fell in love with what I do!!
Which I then made the decision to start working full time as a trainer and strength coach. After furthering my education, from different mentors and participating in different programs, I went out to create my own business, and obtain the certification from NSCA, and obtain the CSCS.
I have been working with clients for over 13+ years as a strength and conditioning coach and personal trainer. I have dealt with the ages varying from 8 years old to collegiate level all the way up to the age of 81! I also have a lengthy line of experience in training varying high school and collegiate level sports teams. With this experience, I have created a culture that focuses on hard work and effort! Whether that be challenging a singular client to do their first pull-up, or a team of 60 athletes finding their 1RMs. Within my sessions and self-built culture, here you will find that training with NMT, is not only challenging, but accountable, fun and loaded with excitement from achieving your goals of fitness!!
At the heart of my training philosophy is a simple but powerful mission: Look good. Feel good. Move good. Im dedicated to helping every individual unlock their full physical potential through purposeful, science-based, and personalized training. My goal is not just to transform appearances, but to build strength, confidence, and sustainable performance from the inside out. Through consistency, education, camaraderie, and empowerment, I strive to create a culture where looking good reflects the discipline we've built together, feeling good mirrors the health that you've earned, and moving good represents the freedom and capability your body deserves.
With my years of experience, every session I design is crafted to be fun, challenging, and competitive--because growth thrives in energy and engagement. Whether it's guiding a client to achieve their first fitness threshold or pushing a sports team of athletes to conquer their 40 yard dash, the focus remains the same: progress, passion and purpose. Here at NMT, training isn't just about showing up--it's about showing out. It's about embracing the challenge, celebrating the journey, and discovering just how far you can go when you look good, feel good, and move good.
