Nick Butchart
Exercise Physiologist
House of Wellness


I am an Exercise Physiologist and Certified Wellness Coach for the Wisconsin Dells, Baraboo, Tomah and La Crosse areas and have been with the Ho-Chunk Nation House of Wellness for 2 years and love it. I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science and Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology from Carroll University in 2015 and started my career in cardiac, pulmonary and neurologic rehabilitation. My experience has given me a well-rounded knowledge of exercise and health management, but my true passion is strength training and injury prevention.
 
Outside of work I am an avid outdoorsman, woodworker and play as many recreational sports as I can. Husband to a loving wife and dog father to a crazy Golden Retriever. I went into healthcare because one of the most satisfying experiences is helping people achieve goals no matter how big or small they are. I’m excited to be part of a growing program and close community and look forward to what the future holds.
