ABOUT NIKKI RAY
I'm a Personal Trainer and Fitness Nutrition Specialist certified by the American Council on Exercise (ACE), a Corrective Exercise Specialist certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and a Food Manager certified by StateFoodSafety. I’m also a nationally qualified and sponsored natural (drug-free) bodybuilding athlete (Bikini & Figure), a former attorney with an LL.M. in Business Law and mother to two of the most amazing people in this world.
I have been on this journey to heal my mind and body through exercise and nutrition fo a decade and it has transformed every aspect of my life.
During the past ten years, I have discovered that pretty much everything I thought I knew about exercise and nutrition was wrong.
-
It is absolutely possible to stay fit, healthy and lean without dumb diets, cleanses, pills and hours of cardio.
-
Exercise is actually enjoyable once you change your mindset and get in sync with your body.
-
Age is just a number. You control your body at every age, not the other way around. (Did I mention I’m 45?)
Whether you are new to fitness, coming back from an exercise hiatus or looking to take your fitness to the next level, I am here to help you. I offer customized exercise programs and nutrition coaching for all fitness levels and I'd love to help you learn how to transform your body and mind through exercise and healthy nutrition.
Let me help you FIND YOUR STRONG.
WORKOUT & NUTRITION PROGRAMS
As a Certified Personal Trainer, Fitness Nutrition Specialist and Corrective Exercise Specialist, I offer a wide range of fitness services and training styles. In addition to weight loss and weight maintenance, I also help with improving cardiovascular and muscular endurance, building strength and correcting postural deviations. I also work with clients with eating disorders and help them build a healthy relationship with food and exercise.
All my programs are customized for your specific health and fitness goals, as well as your current fitness level and lifestyle. My mission is to help you adopt and more importantly MAINTAIN a fit and healthy lifestyle - So if you are looking for quick fixes to lose weight which will inevitably lead to more weight gain long term and also have a negative effect on your health, I am not the fitness and nutrition coach for you.
You will find that my idea of nutrition coaching is not e-mailing you a cookie cutter meal plan that consists of five foods, but instead taking you through this process leaving you educated, clear and prepped for a healthy and realistic diet. There is no "one size fits all" in nutrition. Every individual is different, and a nutritional approach that works perfectly for one individual may not work for another. Depending on what's right for YOU and your individual goals, I offer macro coaching (Flexible Dieting, also known as IIFYM) or customized meal plans.
All my personal training and nutrition coaching programs come with a monthly complimentary InBody body composition assessment. Upon request, I also offer a grocery store tour as well as a home pantry overhaul.
In addition to my existing workout and nutrition programs, I am happy to design a different program for you based on your lifestyle and fitness goals.
