How we got here

From one client to twenty apartments.

The short version, in the order it happened.

  1. Sixteen years of coachingNick and Lucy built Evolve With Us one person at a time: training, food and the head side of it, in the gym and through the Evolve With Us app. More than 1,849 clients so far.
  2. A retreat on Koh SamuiThey ran a twelve-day retreat on the island and learned that twelve days is a little long. That's why retreats here run for seven.
  3. A place of their ownTwenty apartments in Taling Ngam, with the gym, the recovery spa and the kitchen inside the gate. It opens on 3 January 2027, and the first retreat week ends at our opening fight night.

Sixteen years of proof. Here is what it looks like.

“Nick gave me hope when I was in a very dark place. He gave me a light to walk towards. Real, honest, present and always available at every step.”

Marty Morgan
Evolve client

“When I first met Nick, I had hit rock bottom. He gave me the framework to learn how to love myself again. Now I'm in the best place I've ever been.”

Aaron Tziolis
Evolve client

“It's real, it's honest, and it actually challenges you. He helps you see what you need to see. That's the difference.”
