Hello! My name is Nicole, the owner and creator of Borealis Fitness and a personal trainer/behavior coach based in the SWFL area. I wanted to start this company as a way to bring together women from all backgrounds and walks of life and show them how easy and fun getting fit can be. Everyone’s journey is different, and I want to make sure that no matter what it takes to get you there, you end up realizing your beauty.. Inside and out!

I was always an overweight kid growing up, and I struggled in my teen years with anorexia several times. This developed into a harmful relationship with food and body dysmorphia in my early adult years. Once I got to college, the reality of my situation smacked me in the face… I couldn’t keep up with my friends walking to class, I couldn’t carry my groceries up to my apartment on the third floor, and, as an actor and singer, I found it hard to perform on occasion. I knew I needed to make a change for the better. And I wanted to do it in a healthy way this time. That’s when my journey started.

That was back in 2016. Since then I lost a total 125lbs and 20% body fat, and have kept it off for two years. I am stronger, more flexible, and definitely more confident in myself than I have ever been before.

But I didn’t start there. I started with small changes. I made mistakes. I did things even though I was scared, and eventually became more comfortable doing them. My journey was less than perfect, but it taught me so much about myself. And the more women I talked to the more I realized I wasn’t alone! Hearing so many stories like mine inspired me to become a trainer myself, and be the support system for those like me.

And so here we are, eight years later, and I’ve been able to help out so many others just like me with personalized programs, nutritional guidance, behavior modification therapy, and, most importantly, friendship and objective support. I can’t wait to get to know you and help you start your journey!
