Meet Instructor Nikki, our 1st ONLINE Challenge Winner

Some of you know Nikki as an energetic, enthusiastic and motivating Instructor, but what you don't know is she was once a student. She came to us with Kickboxing experience, but wasn't totally sold on strength training. She'll tell you she didn't think they'd work, but boy did they! Nikki signed up with us on March 15th of 2020, you read that right...then we had to shut down 2 days later. That didn't stop us or Nikki.

By Amy N., 2020 $10,000 National Challenge Finalist Remember that one dream that’s always been in your heart? It’s big, it’s scary, but it holds a spark that fires every time you think of it?
