About Me
Personal Trainer and Strength & Conditioning Coach based in Newton Abbot, Devon
Hi I’m Nicola!
My love affair with weight training started when I stepped into my first gym at 16. From there I got into body building until I discovered I had a talent for powerlifting at 24. I have been National Champion numerous times and represented GB on the European and World stage. While doing this I worked as a PE teacher until I qualified as a personal trainer in 2014. I then extended my professional qualifications by becoming a Level 4 strength and conditioning coach and gained my tutor/assessor award.
