Nathan Becklo
Nathan Becklo’s journey began with a call to serve after 9/11, when he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. As a Machine Gunner Team Leader with 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines, India Company, he deployed to Korengal Province, Afghanistan, demonstrating leadership and resilience in high-stakes environments
After his military service, Nathan relocated to California, where he channeled his discipline into fitness. He founded a fitness company that empowered a diverse clientele, including adults, military personnel, first responders, and student-athletes, to achieve their physical and mental goals.
Returning to the East Coast, Nathan discovered his true calling in education. Over the past 12 years, he has inspired students as a teacher and coach at Buckley School, Democracy Prep, and Whitby School. Beyond the classroom, he continues to mentor and train young people, fostering their growth with the same dedication that defined his military and fitness careers.

Nate Becklo was my PE teacher in 5th and 6th grade. Although I was only his student for a short time, he had a lasting impact on me and played a key role in making me the person I am today. A former Marine, Mr. Becklo consistently emphasized the values of hard work, teamwork, and grit, and gave me opportunities to step into leadership roles during class. He was also always someone I could talk to, and he often shared stories from his time in the Marine Corps. Inspired by his example, I chose to attend the Naval Academy and pursue a commission as a Marine officer, where I continue to apply the lessons he taught me back in middle school. Mr. Becklo has been an incredible mentor and coach, and I would not be where I am today without him.
Bella, Marco & Ale Andrade
We met Mr. Becklo when he began working at Whitby School in 2017. As a PE teacher, Becklo always strived to make gym class more than a free period. Using his experience as an athlete and a Marine, Becklo taught us not only how to play sports, but how to be better athletes and successful students and people. He encouraged us to collaborate even if it meant slowing ourselves down, to lead with dignity and confidence, and to push ourselves - even when times got tough. He even supported Bella in her desire to join the baseball team despite being the only girl there! Even after we left Whitby School and began high school, Becklo continued working with us as a coach and advocate. Serving as our personal trainer, Becklo would run circuits with us and push us through different challenges, instilling in us a love of excellence, personal fitness, healthy competition and hard work. We all became the captains of our sports in high school and college (Bella softball, Ale equestrian polo and Marco football!) Without Becklo’s role in our early fitness journey, we would not be where we are today as role models on and off the field.

I met Mr. Becklo as a 5th grader at the Buckley School. He was our strength and conditioning coach, and there is no doubt that we became extremely fit boys. Even at that age, Mr. Becklo struck me as a man who is tough but fair. He inspired confidence and determination in me and my classmates and took pride in molding us into competent young gentlemen. Mr. Becklo was my lacrosse coach through 7th and 8th grade, and he always harped that teamwork was the most important part of the game. He taught us that being a team-player was the only way to win, a concept which I have taken with me into my adult life. Although he did not often speak about his time in the Marine Corps, Mr. Becklo’s example of service and sacrifice for others was one of the primary reasons I am now an officer in the military. As a Student Naval Aviator, I use the lessons and advice that he gave me each and every day. Mr. Becklo is an excellent mentor, coach, and I strive to follow his example as I continue to grow as both an individual and a teammate. I am forever grateful that I crossed paths with Mr. Becklo and that we have remained connected for the past 14 years.

Having Nate Becklo as a teacher, mentor, and coach has had a profound and lasting impact on my son and the young man he has become. The lessons he learned from Nate about discipline, hard work, and respect—for himself and for others—have become a cornerstone of his character. Nate’s unique blend of structure, accountability, and genuine care pushed my son to rise to challenges, to persevere when things were difficult, and to find confidence in his own abilities. Years later, my son still draws on those lessons in school, sports, and life. I will always be grateful for the positive influence Nate has had, and I cannot think of anyone better suited to guide and mentor young people.

Mr. Becklo and I have known each other for a long time. He is a hardworking, caring, and honest guy. Training sessions were demanding but rewarding. Not only did I get in better shape and learn new workouts, but I also received great life advice at a young age. The ethic that Nate instilled in me is something I still carry with me today, and I would not be who I am without his help.
Even after we finished training and moved away, Mr. Becklo's commitment to helping others never stopped. He continued to serve as a mentor and even came to speak at my high school about his time in the U.S. Marine Corps, which made a lasting impact.
Nate is a stand-up guy, and I recommend his services to anyone, kids through adults.
