Our story

My name is Nicholas D'Onofrio, and I am the founder and head coach at Apex Strength. With 10 years of personal experience in the gym, I am entirely self-taught in that regard. I have competed multiple times and have reached a level where I am nationally qualified in the CPU (Canadian Powerlifting Union). The motivation behind founding Apex Strength is to assist individuals in achieving their fitness goals, recognizing from my own long journey that this can be a challenging endeavor with a high rate of failure. As an online coach for almost 2 years, I have recently transitioned to coaching on a more full-time basis. Giving back to a lifestyle that has given me so much. Providing some background on myself, I started bodybuilding at the age of 11 and have discovered purpose and fulfillment in both bodybuilding and, more recently, powerlifting. When I first picked up a dumbell as an 11 year old boy I knew it was time to make a change for the better, I wanted more than anything to build muscle and strength and decided to never turn back. Looking back on this journey after an entire decade of devoted effort and numerous hours invested, I feel that this has been accomplished hitting a bench press of 365lbs at a bodyweight of 183lbs while maintaining 7-10% bodyfat and adding 70-80lbs of muscle naturally over 10 years. Having a high level of satisfaction with my current results I have switched my focus  to assisting others in achieving the same results I have obtained while minimizing trial and error as my journey involved much of it.
