About
My name is Nick Ayers and I was born in Knoxville Tennessee. My family and I moved to Sarasota when I was 9 after my dad accepted a job at a tennis facility. I took up tennis for fun and not long after it developed into a life long passion. I was fortunate enough to be able to play tennis at Longwood Athletic Club where my dad was a sports & fitness trainer.
Two years ago I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. It was probably one of the most difficult times of my life but I refused to let it hold me back from my passions. Even though it is difficult to manage it has given me a more positive out look on my day to day life. It also pushes me harder to challenge myself and acheive my goals.
I have been surounded by fitness my whole life and decided it was time to take my interests to the next level by becoming a certified personal trainer. Ever since I was young it has always been important to me to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. As of the past few years I've been aspiring to become a body builder.
Overall I like to think I am an easy going guy with a positive attitude on and off the court. I not only strive to be a great coach to all of my clients but, a great friend as well. When I'm not in the gym or on the court you can find me working on rebuilding my 1970 Dodge Charger.

Testimonials
"Nick is a wonderful coach.
"I've been working with him for the last year and a half and I have seen huge improvement in my game, so has my wife who is a professional WTA player,
a Grand Slam Champion and a multiple tournament winner in both singles and doubles. Nick is very knowledgable about the game and understands how to get people of all levels to improve.
He is very patient and has a very good way of explaining the strokes, the geometry of the court and technique of the shots. He also has a very good work ethic and is always punctual and as a business owner that is one of the things I appreciate.
I would highly recommend him as a coach."
