Nick Wagner
Personal Trainer

Nick Wagner is a former professional soccer player who has played around the world. After a bad injury, he retired at age 22. Spending so much time with a physical therapist, he realized that he enjoyed how the human body works, with or without injuries. He became a personal trainer to make sure he was not only staying on top of his injuries, but helping others. Finally finding his way back to the Columbus area, he has enjoyed coaching soccer with Worthington Crew Juniors, as well as his work here at Elite Physiques as a personal trainer.

Ommy Patel
Personal Trainer

Ommy Patel is an ISSA, ACE, and NASM certified personal trainer, with an unparalleled passion for health and fitness. He loves motivating and encouraging people to be their best, and none of his training sessions are ever the same. His philosophies surround a four pronged attack on body composition change, and maintenance. The four parts consist of strength/resistance training, aerobics/cardio, nutrition and rest. Each prong has its importance and without maximizing all four, he feels his client’s results will never be truly maximized. His goal is to provide his clients with the ultimate training experience.
