Nicole is a married mother of two who has struggled with weight and body image for most of her life; weighing over 250lbs twice! Embarrassed to admit that one of those times followed a couple of very pricey and not so pleasant LIPOSUCTION procedures leaving her with loose skin, deformadies, and scars!
Living off of soda, fast food, cigarettes, and alcohol Nicole dealt with countless health challenges and was diagnosed with Epstein-Barr virus, anxiety disorder, and Meniere’s Disease. Frustrated with always feeling sick and tired she tried EVERYTHING she could get her hands on! (crash diets, water pills, point counting programs, skinny teas, waist trainers, and ultimately plastic surgery) While each attempt brought short term success, the pounds ALWAYS came back and with them came new trauma. (disordered eating, orthorexia, hormonal struggles, and body dysmorphia)
Nicole began her career unintentionally in 2010. She regularly attended a cardio kickboxing class at a small boutique gym in Los Angeles and both the instructor and the gym owner became mentors. She embarked on a very unlikely path that quickly proved to be her calling. Nicole knew that if she didn't walk the walk and put in the work, change would never come. People identified with her struggles and their lives were changing because of her example. It was this shift in her mindset that opened the door for Body by YOU! Fitness. The results that her clients achieve are a direct result of her extensive knowledge and THEIR COMMITMENT to themselves and the journey.
“Consistency + Patience = RESULTS. It is my mission to show you that living a healthy, joyous life, free from self loathing and negativity is simple. Not easy - SIMPLE & you hold the reigns. Don’t make the mistake of relying on motivation, it’s fleeting. Without action, “motivation” will forever be just an idea! It is my mission to teach you how to create habits, NOT distractions. A balanced life without deprivation is possible through the art of DISCIPLINE. Learn to love the habits more than the goal and you can't lose.
There are no shortcuts to greatness! When YOU come to terms with this fact and feel ready, I will be here to show YOU the way!"
~ GOD BLESS
