Ontario Novice Tournament

🥊 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT — NICK TWUM 💪❤️

Big muscles. Even bigger heart.

Today we want to recognize a great London entrepreneur, coach, and supporter of our community — Nick Twum, owner of Lion Heart Training and the man behind GOAT Fuel Nutrition.

With 16+ years of experience in the fitness industry, Nick has dedicated a major part of his life to helping others transform theirs.

Whether it’s someone taking the first steps toward a healthier lifestyle, someone looking to completely transform themselves, or an athlete preparing to step onto the competition stage, Nick’s approach goes beyond simply putting people through workouts. It’s about accountability, consistency, confidence and bringing the best out of the person in front of him.

And his clients clearly feel it. Lion Heart Training has built an incredible reputation right here in London, with people consistently recognizing Nick not only for his knowledge and results, but for the personal attention, encouragement and genuine care he gives the people he works with.

That same drive has now expanded into GOAT Fuel Nutrition, a London-based performance supplement brand built around providing quality products and real value to people serious about their training and performance.

But what we appreciate most is the person behind it all.

Nick is a BIG guy with a lot of muscle — but an even bigger heart. ❤️

When we reached out about supporting the 2026 Ontario Novice Tournament, Nick stepped up. That support means more than simply putting a logo on an event. It’s local people and local businesses investing back into athletes, sport, and their community.

Nick, thank you for believing in what we’re building and helping us make this tournament possible.

London supports London. 🤝🥊

If you haven’t already, give Nick Twum, Lion Heart Training and GOAT Fuel Nutrition a follow and support someone who continues to support others.

Thank you, Nick. We appreciate you! 🙏❤️
