MEET OUR FOUNDER, NICKI D

My Family is a traditional Italian Family in virtually every way.  Sunday Spaghetti Dinners (with leftovers on Wednesdays) and Friday Night Pizza were the norm, men watched football games while the women were in the kitchen, and aside from school sports- health and fitness wasn't even a consideration.  Life revolved around Family and of course- food. 

Then came me.  From an early age, I basically started challenging the status quo, questioned long-held beliefs, and was the first girl to do really well in school.  I knew I wanted to build a bright future for myself and my Family; and became the first woman in our Family to go to college.  I worked full-time as a bartender and waitress to put myself through nursing school and after graduation, worked my way up to the elite level of becoming a Flight Nurse on a helicopter.   

Along that road, there were many twists and turns, long hours, and overnight shifts. Couple that with disordered eating, COMPLETELY having the wrong nutrition information and overall inconsistent training habits- I always struggled with my weight.  It wasn't until I hired my first coach and dedicated myself to her consistent, progressive training program and solid nutrition that I could see how all the parts of the puzzle fit together. 

It was so cool to watch the physique in the mirror transform with changes in body composition and the feeling of empowerment  as my lifts in the gym got heavier and heavier was totally BADA$$!  I fell in love with all things muscle and nutrition, and started coaching my coworkers recreationally.  Their results were phenomenal- their bodies transformed, and their confidence soared.  The best part was that it was such a POSITIVE OUTLET for life's daily stressors, and a direct training template for overall goal attainment that I decided to leave my nursing practice to serve and empower others in achieving their goals. 

Welcome to our Fit Fam- It's great to have you aboard!
