From a young age, I was introduced to the powerful role exercise plays in how we age.
I grew up with two very different examples of aging right in front of me. One set of grandparents lived a vibrant, active life, prioritizing movement, exercise, and time outdoors well into their late 80s. The other lived more sedentary lives, facing increasing health issues and physical limitations. Watching these two paths unfold side by side left a lasting impression on me and sparked a lifelong interest in fitness, aging, and what truly allows people to live well as they grow older.
I’ve seen firsthand how strength training and impact training can preserve muscle and bone, protect independence, and support a life filled with curiosity, confidence, and adventure. I led my first group fitness class for seniors in 2009, and since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of individuals to build full-body strength, bone density, and functional capacity through Trubee Health. This work is more than a profession—it’s a lifestyle and a mission. I’m deeply committed to helping people age with strength, resilience, and the ability to fully engage in the lives they want to live.
Team up with me and lets make the right kind of exercise a vital part of your everyday life.

Hello everyone!
My name is Dr. Nick Trubee. I’m an online personal trainer & coach and a former university professor of Exercise Physiology. I am the passionate founder/owner of Trubee Health and The Osteogenic Academy where exercise and bone health is our passion and specialty.
My passion is helping clients transform their lives through safe, progressive training that is evidence based and appropriate for building strong bodies and bones. Exercise that masters the fundamentals of specific movement with a clear link to stimulating new bone growth and building muscle mass for higher functioning lives.
Over the past 17 years I have been fortunate to work with amazing clients on their bone health journey. I understand the fear that is immediately instilled into the mind of a person who has just received the osteoprosis diagnosis. Immediately you begin to second guess every step you take and every ache and pain you experience. This is no way to live out the rest of your life. I’ve seen first hand how the appropriate level of specific and targeted exercise can help regain trust, confidence and functionality. There is something that can be done to reverse these negative feelings, and that time starts right now!
I currently live in Lexington, KY. I formerly taught at the University of Kentucky before starting Trubee Health in 2018, while my wife is a local practicing physician. We are the lucky parents to our three kiddoes, Graham (9), Miles (6) and Rowan (3). We love the outdoors (one reason we love living in KY), hiking, traveling to the mountains and the beach, and everything in between.
The idea for Trubee Health sprouted years ago when we were living in Cleveland, OH. My wife and her physician group were pushing exercise to their aging patients before going down the path of prescribing medication and/or surgery. The only problem? There were no trustworthy professionals prescribing exercise as medicine for aging people to apply to their daily lives to improve overall health & fitness.
With that inspiration in mind, I decided it was time to become that resource, as so many people could benefit from what Trubee Health offers. A conservative approach to fitness that masters the basics targeted at building full body strength, bone, and enhancing all that life has to offer. At Trubee Health, we teach your body how to move, to understand the importance of technique and the “why.” You will learn skills, mindset, habits, how to listen to your body and understand your needs, etc. during the time we work together. These skills aren’t meant to last a short period of time, but to last a lifetime.
I am the missing piece to your fitness and bone health puzzle. Join the Trubee Health team and let’s tackle this beast together! Click the link below and get started working in our Strength for Bone Health fitness community!
