Hi, I'm Nicolina
I'm a Personal Trainer with over a decade of prior experience in the tech industry, where I held senior roles at both startups and FTSE 100 companies.
My path into fitness wasn't traditional. In fact, I used to skip sports class at school. As an adult, I was diagnosed with autism and an autoimmune condition, and I live with a long-term back injury from a bad fall in my teens.
My back pain was getting out of control and what was meant to be a routine health check at 25 revealed dangerously high cholesterol. This forced me to rethink my health.
Then, one day, I tried a strength class and I was hooked. Over time, strength training has reduced my back pain to a point where it's almost non-existent. It also made my body feel so much better, and is a massive help in managing chronic inflammation caused by my autoimmune condition.
In 2026, I did something younger Nicolina would have never thought her body would allow: I competed in my first powerlifting competition. Not everyone needs to be a powerlifter, but I strongly believe strength training is one of the best thing anyone can do for their long-term health and wellbeing.
It is a privilege to help other atypical gym goers getting stronger.
Coaching for Real Life
Whether you're managing a demanding job, keeping on top of your health, returning after a long break, or simply struggling to stay consistent, together we can build a routine which can be maintained without burnout or overwhelm.
Throughout my corporate career, I mentored many professionals and helped them build habits that allowed them to thrive under pressure. Now, I combine that experience with my passion for strength training.
I specialise in creating sustainable, adaptable exercise routines that support long-term wellbeing.
All of a sudden, you're not worried that carrying the shopping is too much. You don't think twice before lifting that heavy suitcase. The real-life benefits of being strong cannot be beaten.
