My Story
How SPMethod Was Born
Hi, my name is Nick Spartalis - welcome to SPMethod. I'm 22 years old and started training about 9 years ago. I began with zero knowledge, so my mother reached out and found me my first personal trainer - a former Russian Olympic lifter.
Naturally, I took everything he said as gospel. After months of working together, he disappeared without a word. What I didn't know at the time was that almost everything he had taught me was wrong. It took years of self-education to realize the damage - and by then, it was too late.
I had accumulated injuries in multiple areas of my body that I still manage and fight through to this day. That experience became the turning point. Instead of walking away from fitness, I channeled that frustration into years of deep, self-driven research - studying how to train and eat in a way that actually builds the best version of yourself, without breaking your body in the process.
Eventually, I asked myself: why not use everything I've learned to help others avoid exactly what happened to me? So I did. I completed my Personal Training studies, became a certified Personal Trainer, and SPMethod was born.
