Today we’d like to introduce you to Tyler Eckles.
Hi Tyler, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Nearly nine years in healthcare has taken me from physical therapy clinics to strength and conditioning facilities in New York to coaching clients across the globe from Texas. I’ve worked with seven-year-olds to ninety-year-olds, collegiate athletes and busy parents, CEOs and nurses, each chasing their own version of strength and freedom. What drives me now is guiding adults to reclaim their athleticism, move with confidence, sharpen their minds, and live fully in every arena of life. The inspiration runs deep in my bloodline—my father still trains in his 60s, my grandfather walks miles and cranks out push ups at 89, my brother fueled my competitive fire, and my late mother gifted me patience and discipline. That foundation became my compass, and the legacy I am building is to help people move better, feel better, and rise higher in family, work, and community. In a world addicted to shortcuts, I build lasting change through connection and consistency. And every story of transformation I’ve witnessed reminds me that the best investment anyone can make is in themselves.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It hasn’t always been smooth. I’ve had to rebuild more than once, from walking away from a successful venture and career catapulting opportunities in New York to starting over in Texas with nothing guaranteed, all while navigating some heavy personal challenges. At the time, it felt like everything I had worked for was unraveling, but those seasons became the turning points that forced me to grow. They taught me patience when I wanted speed, resilience when I felt worn down, and the importance of leaning into community instead of trying to carry everything alone. Each setback became fuel that pushed me to refine my mission and create a coaching practice rooted in collaboration, exploration, and transformation. Those challenges sharpened my focus on what matters most.
As you know, we’re big fans of N:OW Fitness LLC. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
N:OW Performance Group was built on the belief that health is the foundation for everything else—your energy, your confidence, your family, and even your career. Growth is at the forefront, with a focus on getting better each day in every area of life: your relationship with yourself, your mental and physical health, your emotional health, your spiritual journey, and your connections with others. The more you pour into yourself, the more equipped you are to elevate in all of these areas.
What sets us apart is the balance of science and support. Every client begins with a full assessment of mobility, strength, and conditioning, and the use of measurable data like heart rate, recovery scores, nutrition metrics, and progress testing to guide the plan. Still, most people don’t come to us just for numbers—they want accountability, expert guidance, and someone who listens, sees them, and helps them achieve results they can feel in their body and their life.
Our clients often gain more energy, confidence, and the ability to show up stronger for their families and perform at a higher level in their careers. I am proud that we’re not about quick fixes but about sustainable change and building a community of people who value health, growth, and longevity. The message is simple: the time is now to invest in yourself, and with the right structure, accountability, and expertise, you can transform far beyond the gym.
Any big plans?
The vision is to grow N:OW Performance Group to a bigger scale, impacting not just individuals but entire communities across the world. We want to inspire people to see that we are more resilient and capable than we often realize. Adversity can appear in many forms but as long as we are breathing, we still have a fighting chance. That belief keeps us faithful to the mission and dedicated to helping people push through and become the support and strength they have been searching for within themselves.
