About
Hi, I’m Tim Bettencourt founder, and head trainer of N8SC.
N8 Strength and Conditioning was born from the idea that humans are the ultimate adaptation machine, possessing innate qualities that we often overlook, and that’s the space we live in….strengthening not only your “outer” qualities, but your “inner” qualities as well.
But, his diagnosis set me on a path I did not see coming………an obsession with reading, patient of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic Weill Cornell, Trapps 50k Ultramarathon, weekend in Barcelona with Wim Hof, cold plunges in February at Bingham Falls at 6am, skinning Mt. Mansfield in a bathing suit, week in Poland to complete my Wim Hof Method instructor training, Spartan Beast at Killington, training athletes outside in the dead of winter at 6am, inventing an outdoor training device, to now a Strength and Conditioning coach with his own gym….crazy.
A self-described former “knucklehead” college athlete, I found Stoicism, mindfulness, wellness, and strength training, when my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s just after retirement in 2016.
At the time I was about 200 lbs, miserable, in pain, a wealth management advisor(not a job I loved), and found myself going down an unfulfilling road.
And because of my dad’s “gift”, my mission is now to optimize my own health to avoid going down the same road, and in the process I’ve found the most fulfillment in helping others do the same, as I what call myself, a holistic strength coach.
Whether it be helping a youth athlete increase their speed, strength, or confidence, to our aging population(myself included) who often has the same goal of living a long, healthy life, I live for the exact moment when my athlete realizes their inner strength, and hope N8SC becomes the place where you realize yours.
Tim
PS: Websites are not my strength, and spent too much time trying to line up these photographs, so it is what it is.
