My name is Nathan Bell and I am the founder of Higher Level Performance. I have been coaching people to achieve their fitness goals for the past eight years now since graduating from University.
Once upon a time I was an overweight kid with low self-esteem, but I got into physical training and it changed my life. Not only did I become a better athlete going on to represent my county and the Reservist Army national team, but I have also competed in boxing competitions, completed a triathlon and cycled the length of South America.
I believe that most of us never reach our potential because we put shackles on our minds. Too many people put themselves down and are too scared of failing to even try in the first place.

Higher Level Performance: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great level of detail and professionalism. Nathan has a clear understanding of your objectives and tailors a program accordingly- that's why he is genuinely next level
Fantastic experience: I signed up to train with Nathan on a bit of a whim, as my gym offered a PT rehab consultation and I had injuries that needed to be rehabilitated. I was always a bit put off by the idea of PT because of horror stories I heard growing up, but I quickly realised that, at least in the case of Nathan, they were as factual as any other horror story. He was warm and easy-mannered from the start, and made everything very clear to me from the beginning and throughout our training. My main objective coming into the training was to rehab my shoulders and back, which had been causing me a lot of problems since a BJJ injury. After a few months they’re a lot stronger, more mobile, hurt a lot less and become painful much less frequently, and are just generally so much better, which has enabled me to do more of the things I want to and need to do. In general, Nathan pushes me when I need pushing, eases off when that’s necessary, adapts training to my preferences and abilities, and makes the whole process of doing PT much easier and more fun than I had anticipated coming into it.
Thank you for your kind words Adam. It has been a pleasure working with you bud and I am grateful I can help you resolve your pain. I look forward to continuing to make your stronger and more mobile.
Fantastic experience: I started working with Nathan because I wanted strength and conditioning coaching that would support my marathon and ultra-running goals. Having someone who truly understands the demands of endurance sports thanks to his own incredible cycling challenges was a huge reason I chose him. My objectives were to build strength to stay injury-free, improve mobility and stability for long-distance running and create structure outside of just mileage. Nathan placed a big emphasis on mobility which I really enjoyed as it made a huge difference in recovery, running efficiency and overall resilience during training. The most valuable part of his coaching has been the mix of accountability, technical knowledge and practical application. He explains why each movement matters for performance and longevity which makes it easy to buy into the process. I’ve noticed tangible improvements in how I feel during long runs and how quickly I recover. For any endurance athlete considering coaching with Nathan I’d highly recommend it. He understands the mindset and physical demands of going long and he’ll help you build the strength, mobility and confidence you need to keep progressing.

His programme includes a combination of 1 to 1 coaching and a daily routine that is supported be a daily monitoring. I am pleased with the results, and I am looking forward to returning next summer.

Thanks Debbie,
Both Sam and Thomas are a pleasure to train, hard working and competitive.
Fantastic experience: Pleasure working with coach Nathan, always positive vibe he always push you to your limits. Helps to straighten weak points and he make sure you will progress he always want to see you better than last session. What makes him different is that he listens to you and make sure that every session will be beneficial.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Higher Level Performance for 6 months now and I have nothing but positive things to say about the strength & conditioning sessions that they provide. I’ve been training MMA for over 10 years and in the past I have been one to not add S&C to my routine due to me feeling like it was repetitive and boring. These sessions are dynamic and excitable, reigniting the passion for lifting again. I now train with Nathan twice a week and I’ve seen massive improvements physically and aesthetically. I definitely highly recommend no matter what your physical background is.
Thanks Mike,
It has been a pleasure training you and helping you rediscover your passion for S&C.
Fantastic experience: Top quality coach with tons of knowledge and experience who leads by example, I would strongly recommend working with him
Thank you Jovan!

Fantastic experience: As a pro fighter I have the opportunity to work with Nathan on my S&C session at GB Top Team. The content of the sessions is always very adapted to the practice of our sport. He knows how to make us more performant and improve our physical qualities. Glad to have a coach in the team with so much knowledge.
Fantastic experience: Really enthusiastic and passionate about what he does. Very informative in the sessions and links well specifically to what we want to do.
Thanks Shanelle, I am glad you have enjoyed the training and have been working hard!

Fantastic experience: My experience at higher level performance has been incredibly rewarding as it has pushed me to achieve the highest fitness level I can and I learn something new every time I go.
Fantastic experience: Nathan has really inspired me to workout more and my experience with learning boxing with him has been a constant joy. I would highly recommend him as a great fitness coach! -Elisa
Fantastic experience: I found Nathan and joined Higher Level Performance earlier this year (2022) and we have been working together for the past 4 months, every week. He was the only health and fitness specialist I met who genuinely treated me as an individual and was sensitive to all my goals and the personal challenges that had been standing in my way for so long. Working with him has been a real pleasure, (despite the pain!) getting to know him…even more so. We have achieved some amazing results in our first 4 months: not only have I lost over 10kgs but I am stronger, fitter, healthier and happier. My biggest improvement though has been the consistency….Nathan has supported me and built a plan that works for me in and around the rest of my life. Highly recommend his expertise - you won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Nathan for a few months now. So far I have not only loved the professional attitude to which Nathan approaches the sessions but also how fun and motivating they are as wel
Fantastic experience: Nathan and I have been working together on my fitness goals for several years now . I used to do duathlons and now stick with cycling . With training and encouragement from Nathan I reached several pb’s in my running and currently he is helping me with my S&c for my cycling . Nathan is understanding , passionate about improving your fitness and takes a personal interest in your goals snd aspirations . A great trainer and all round good guy !
Hi P,
Thank you very much for your kind words. It has been a pleasure working with you and helping you achieve your goals. I admire your hard work and commitment to training despite a busy schedule.
Fantastic experience: Nathan is a great performance coach using a good blend of techniques to ensure the sessions are productive to improve overall fitness and flexibility.
Thank you for your review Nick. It was great working with you to help improve flexibility and strength.
Fantastic experience: Nathan is a great trainer! Really knows what he’s doing and makes it personal to your own needs. I’ve noticed such an improvement since training with him - 10/10 recommend.
Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with Nathan at reeds school and over the period he’s done work with me I’ve felt significant improvement in my game (tennis) and off court strength and conditioning as a whole.
Fantastic experience: Nathan is a very experienced and well equipped PT. We started doing boxing sessions with him 5 years ago. After 2 years we moved to full PT sessions where our kids also had separate work outs with him both indoors and outdoors. We would highly recommend him for your personal training ambitions for which he would definitely come up with a bespoke plan.
Thank you very much Ozgur. It was a pleasure working with you and your family. I hope everything is going well in New York!
Fantastic experience: For Christmas we wanted to gift our two kids some personal training sessions. From the time we made contact with Nathan and up to the end of the 10 days session he has made it an enjoyable experience for both my kids and us as parents. He listened to what we needed and gave us a very good package for a very good price. As it was meant to be a surprise he sent us vouchers that we could give out on x’mas day and he even sent a personalised video for the kids. Both the kids looked forward to his weekly sessions, they say he is a motivating coach and he brings out the best of their ability. We can see that he has instilled a healthy way of thinking where both my kids have a changed perspective of how they look at fast food, keeping physically active etc. His enthusiasm and his eagerness to help them meet their goals has meant that our kids have now a different perspective in their physical fitness and health. Straight 5 stars for coach Nate!!
Thanks Gayathiri,
I have loved working with the kids and providing them with my knowledge and wisdom around training. They are future stars!
Fantastic experience: Nathan is a great coach combining impressive knowledge and experience with a friendly and motivating approach. The best trainer I’ve worked with. Highly recommended.

It has been a pleasure working with your daughter and I look forward to continuing my work with her at Esher!
Fantastic experience: Nathan has taught me a lot over the past 2 years helping me to get fitter. He got me back on a bicycle and last summer I completed a 21km ride. Nathan is so enthusiastic and does a really good job.

Hey Deb,
Thank you for your review. It has been a pleasure working with you and supporting you on your journey.
Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed working with Nathan. He has made his workout sessions hard but fun with loads of variety and different routines. His enthusiasm for life is infectious and he really motivates me to change my habits to reach my goals. I would highly recommend him as a fitness coach and mentor.
Thank you Rob! It is a pleasure training you and helping you to become the best version of yourself :D
Fantastic experience: I would throughly recommend Nathan he is professional, courteous, knowledgeable and gives 101%. I told him what I needed and he listened and advised us of what he could do and how he could help. My son goes once a week and he always watches what he’s doing and corrects his positioning and changes it up which is very crucial for teenagers versus someone who just says do this and that and then sits on their phone. My son very importantly enjoys his weekly sessions with Nathan!
Thank you Susan. Nathan is a great kid and I enjoy mentoring him and showing him how to box and train effectively.
Fantastic experience: I have worked with HLP for over 3 years now and can honestly say it’s been a fantastic journey that I continue today. Fully supportive of my goals and aiding me in setting them. Ensuring the basics are right before moving to far forward. There is a constant two way relationship to ensure growth and development of myself and my goals. In my time with HLP I have vastly improved my overall lifestyle. I’m more mobile, flexible, stronger physically and mentally and most importantly lm passionate about keeping this up and smashing new targets. I highly recommend HLP to anyone looking to improve their lifestyle! ♀️
Hi Steve,
Thank you very much for your review and sorry for the slow response. Your attitude towards training and self-development are fantastic and I enjoy working with you to achieve your goals.
Fantastic experience: Nathan is very professional, and always pushes you. Highly recommended!
Hi Frazer,
Thank you very much for your review. Boxing coaching is always a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Nathan for a few years now and he’s really helped me with his ‘stretch and strengthen’ program both online and in person along with his boxing and PT sessions. He’s a real enthusiast for what he does and he’s helped me work my way through a serious back problem. Would highly recommend.
Hi Steve,
Sorry for the delay in responding. It has been a pleasure working with you and helping you be pain-free!
Fantastic experience: Nathan is an excellent coach and his strength and fitness sessions have been really beneficial for my 12 year old son both online during lockdown and his outside sessions. My son's confidence in his own strength and ability has really grown and Nathan has also been very motivational. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much Nicola. Lucas is a great kid and I thoroughly enjoy coaching him.
Fantastic experience: Nathan has been training my son Cassius (age12) who is a Reeds School Tennis Academy student and an elite athlete also playing for the national team.He has a great way of delivering training to the younger boys and gets the very best out of Cassius.If you have a child who wants to develop in any kind of sport they are taking seriously ,I would not hesitate to recommend Nathan.
Fantastic experience: Nathan is a great coach - motivating and encouraging to get the best out every session. He has helped our 12 year old to continue with exercise and fitness during lockdown. He puts great emphasise on correct technique even on zoom sessions.
Fantastic experience: Nathan is a fantastic coach who gets the best out of you with all his knowledge and enthusiasm - he has even managed to make my 12 year old son look forward to his online sessions in the Young & Strong training sessions he does 3 times a week. I have been doing the Strength & Stretch classes and I like them so much I’m about to start the 6 week challenge course. Nathan has been a great motivator throughout this whole lockdown experience and will continue to be long after I’m sure.
Fantastic experience: Great PT sessions and stretch and strengthen class. Easy to fit into your working day and competitively priced. I would highly recommend Nathan.
Fantastic experience: Nathan is a highly knowledgeable coach who uses his expertise on nutrition, mindset and fitness to help improve your overall performance and to reach your goals. His passion and commitment to cultivating a sustainable healthy lifestyle is brilliant. Nathan makes his classes fun and inclusive. He motivates you to focus on your technique, to keep going and improve your performance at your own pace but encourages you to go beyond your comfort zone where you can really see the results. I've seen great improvement in my strength and mobility thanks to Nathan's classes. Highly recommended as a top quality and friendly coach.
Fantastic experience: I have been using Higher Level Performance for a few years now and can say that Nathan is a great coach with plenty of knowledge. I have found Nathan's coaching greatly beneficial to my personal training. He has also helped me develop my teaching and training skills as a professional karate instructor; he has even been kind enough to come to my club (Shoden Martial arts & fitness) and offer his skills and knowledge to my students. Higher Level Performance is top quality for training, mindset and nutrition!
Fantastic experience: My 12 year old son is part of the Young and Strong academy and I can say that whilst I was sceptical about the commitment my son would show with on-line training, I am so impressed with how Nathan has managed to engage a group of young children to regular training. My son looks forward to each session which Nathan, makes interactive, challenging, sets targets and competitions. Even I have joined the Saturday morning HIIT sessions and can highly recommend Nathan as a solid performance coach.
Fantastic experience: Nathan is dedicated and experienced personal trainer who is able to apply his expertise to help you on your journey to reach your training goals. Highly recommended.
