Chad Molyneux

Founder, NLCA

Chad started his online fitness coaching business in 2015 at the age of 19. He had tons of ambition, but started with no money, no support, no social media following, and no real workplace skills.

Over the course of 2.5 years, Chad worked tirelessly to get his online fitness coaching business off the ground. He even drained the little resources he had into a business coach which ended up yielding him even more in debt. At the 3 year mark Chad decided to give it one last go and hired yet another business mentor. 4 Months into the program Chad had his first 10k month, and went full time as an online fitness coach. Over the next number of years Chad built his fitness business to 50k/mo.

In 2020 he decided that he wanted to help other online fitness coaches do the same and started The Next Level Coaching Academy. Now NLCA is a multi-million dollar company helping 1000’s over trainers go full time online.
