How It All Began!
NorthEast Sports Training and Rehabilitation (the NEST) was founded, in 1999, by Mike Macchioni - one of the areas first Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists. It is Rhode Islands only facility dedicated to preparing athletes for sport and, now, includes three satellite facilities.
In 1992, Mike met strength and conditioning pioneer, Mike Boyle. He worked for his company, Elite Conditioning, for five years, training the best athletes in the Boston area. During that same time, Mike spent several years working with Perform Better / MF Athletics educating coaches, trainers, therapists, and physicians about a, then, new training philosophy of exercising. This philosophy, later, would become known as ‘functional training’.
Today, functional training is the most widely accepted approach to enhancing human performance and preventing injuries. Armed with this experience, Mike returned home to expose local athletes to this cutting-edge training philosophy and , since, has assisted some of the best athletes in the world, including a number one NHL draft pick, two NHL Rookie of the Year award winners, and three different Olympic Gold Medalists.
