Nicky Nickelson
NASM Certified Personal Trainer
Certified Biomechanics Specialist
Barbell Rehab Method Certified Unique Considerations for the Female Barbell Athlete
Soft Skills for Strength Coaches - A Trauma Informed Certification
Exercise has been something that has carried me through some of the hardest moments in my life and has also mirrored to me that I am capable of accomplishing anything that I put my mind to. From having a bad day, celebrating a huge milestone, experiencing mobility limitations, or healing through an injury; training has helped me see that things don’t need to be all or nothing and that I can meet my body exactly where it is at. Movement has enhanced my confidence, has brought feelings of empowerment, and has allowed me to learn so much about my inner self. This has all been a huge part of my fitness journey and I LOVE when I see this come alive in others that I work with.
As a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Biomechanics Specialist, I specialize in strength training (bodyweight and weighted), exercise modifications, working with perimenopausal and postmenopausal clients, functional training to support activities of daily living, mobility, and the development of balanced movement through connection.

Client Testimonials
“Working with Nicky is absolutely life changing. And I don’t say that lightly. Coming off of three years of traumatic family experiences, including the sudden death of my husband, I was shut down and immobile for so long. Nicky encouraged me to go slowly, care for my body, stay in the breath and she has shown me a path back to health.
The gym where we work together is full of diverse people moving their bodies in community and I feel welcomed and safe there. Nicky’s personalized workouts include new moves as well as the exercises and stretches that bring me pain relief. I’m feeling stronger and more confident every time we meet.
Nicky goes the extra mile by providing me with YouTube videos showing me our exercises so I can continue to work on my form between our sessions. I’ve never had a personal trainer like Nicky and I wish her all the best and huge success in her work. I am grateful to have the chance to work with her.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- Cindy J.
“Working with Nicky over the last year+ was one of the best decisions I made in the past few years. I wanted to grow better strength foundations while navigating some pre-existing mobility challenges. Nicky crafts and evolves her program completely around your needs. She uses her expertise to go far beyond the bare minimum of what many physical trainers do. As I prepared to undergo a surgery related to one of my preexisting issues, Nicky provided careful support and programming to prepare me physically for what I was expected to undergo. On top of all of this, she is fiercely kind, compassionate, and energetic in the most supportive way. Prior to her big move back to CA, she had become a meeting I looked forward to every single week. This made it so easy to persist in training when I previously might have let life get in the way. Compared to before I started working with her, I am much stronger physically and mentally. Extremely grateful!”
