Matt Nichols
Intentional Fitness & Performance
Season 2, Episode 5
In this episode, I interview my good friend, coach, and general manager of Oak Park LA – Matt Nichols. Oak Park is the home of CrossFit LA in Santa Monica, CA and is the gym that I train at. Matt is an explorer, driven by curiosity and a love for problem solving. He finds joy in guiding people through the process of discovery that reveals the best version of themselves.
Connection is fundamental to the human experience, and Matt believes that it is through authentic, meaningful connection with others that we discover our greatest potential. Matt has been coaching athletes since 2012, and he fully committed to this journey in 2017 when he ended a 15-year legal career to become a professional Oak Park Coach.
