12-week Strong Start Running Program has been an absolutely empowering journey. The respectful increase of exercise intensity each session strengthened me to want to prioritise myself. Committing to the program 3 times a week and making myself the priority has transformed my whole body and mind. I can now squat down to the ground just like a toddler does and stay crouched comfortably and confidently. Nikki’s expertise, adaptation and commitment has encouraged me all the way. I’m ready to sign up for the next online program and continue to make myself a priority.

Client Love
Nikki’s Strong Start Running program is fantastic! The detailed initial assessment allows for an adaptable program tailored to your specific needs, and the regular check ins are great for two-way feedback (as well as keeping your accountable!)
I highly recommend it for anyone just beginning their running journey or those wanting to find the path back to running!
The Strong Start Running program is fantastic way to build strength to help you start your running or, in my case, compliment what I was already doing.
Nikki is so encouraging and supportive and is great at making adjustments and giving alternative exercises to accommodate any changes in circumstances. I finished the program stronger and with a greater knowledge of how strength training is essential for achieving your running goals.
Nikki has been amazing in helping me to gain strength and stability. Her knowledge and positive approach is what keeps me invested in continuing my fitness journey with her guiding me.
Nikki is extremely capable of adjusting the fitness exercises to suit each individual. I feel confident knowing she is always watching to make sure me and others in the class are doing each exercise correctly and advising us so there is no risk of injury but also encouraging us to challenge ourselves.
I’m personally very happy I found Nikki!

Thank you for everything Nikki. I have no doubt that the strength training I am doing with you has given me complete relief from my hamstring pain and has strengthened all my other muscles to prevent injuries. I am 46 and at an age where those little niggles can creep in but strength training works and your programs are always different and rewarding!! Thank you for helping me!
Adele Henry - Small Group Training
I became aware that I was losing strength due to age and lack of appropriate exercise so I decided to join Nikki’s Body 4 Mind small group training. I can’t rave enough about how wonderful it is. In just six months, attending 2 times per week, I have made traceable progress & thoroughly enjoy our sessions.

FAQ
How does online training work?
Online training is fantastic because it provides you with the flexibility to workout at a time that suits you and in a location that suits you. After our initial phone conversations to set up your training, all online training is delivered via an app, where you can log in and follow the prescribed workout. Every person is different, so when it comes to online training you have the choice of following a pre-recorded workout video or you can follow a workout plan. If choosing the later, the app includes demo videos of each individual exercise so that you can make sure you are doing each movement correctly.
One of the great features with my online training programs is that each time you workout you ‘check in’ via the app. This sends me a notification and helps me to keep you accountable. If you train with me, I guarantee you won’t get lost in the crowd – I will contact you if I don’t see you ‘checking in’. In addition all online clients have an opportunity to join a fortnightly coaching call (via Zoom – similar to Skype) where we can discuss not only your exercise but other aspects of your health such as nutrition, mindset & stress reduction which will help you to reach your goals faster.
What is the difference between the programs?
Each program differs depending on what your goal is and what you are hoping to achieve. Some ladies simply want workouts only, other ladies what a more intensive program, while others prefer a holistic program where they can implement lifestyle changes over time. There is one thing that is common across every one of my programs though and that is accountability and personal connection. Let’s work together to find the program that will best suit you.

Can I combine online and face to face training?
Absolutely! Face to face training takes place in Sanctuary Point, Jervis Bay NSW. If you are not located in that area, don’t worry – online training is just as effective and is provided to you regardless of where you are located in the world!
What results can I expect?
Every lady is different and this is why I take a personal approach to training you. Before you commence any program with me, I make sure that we have a good understanding of your goals. Your program is then catered towards those goals and if you commit to what I give you to do, then I am committed to seeing you achieve fantastic results that drive you closer towards achieving your goal.
What are the payment options?
Payments can be upfront and made via direct deposit or paypal. Alternatively, you can choose to go on a payment plan with auto deductions through my direct debit company. I strive to keep payments flexible and we can work through the best option for you in our initial phone chat.
Do I need equipment?
No, we work with what you have! Workouts can be super effective utilizing the best weights you have – your body! Having said that, if you do have equipment or are a member of a gym and are choosing the online personal training program, then I will write workouts that incorporate the equipment available to you. Thinking about the face to face option? Well then you come to my private gym, which is filled with lots of fun equipment!
How do I schedule my week?
This is dependent on the program you choose. If you are choosing a face to face program, you will be given set session times to choose from. If you are choosing an online option, well then the world is your oyster! Online is highly flexible and the app gives you the freedom to move your workouts to suit how your day or week is unfolding.
I’m injured/pregnant/breastfeeding/ have restrictions on what I can do, is this for me?
Absolutely! This is why I take a personal approach with every lady I work with. While you think you are being difficult because you need modifications, I can guarantee you are not. We can find a way to help you achieve your goals regardless of what is happening with your body.
If you are pregnant or post-natal, you can rest easy with the knowledge that I am qualified in both pre and post-natal training too.
What if I get half way through and don’t like it?
I’ll be doing my very best to make sure you do like your program, but if you do find yourself in this situation, please contact me and we can discuss a way forward that works for both of us.
What support is there?
Every lady I work with is invited to participate in a fortnightly coaching call via Zoom (similar to Skype) where we discuss not only your exercise but also other health aspects such as your nutrition and mindset. If there is something that needs further discussion outside of the coaching call, then I will work through this with you privately.
You will also be added to a Facebook support group (members only – this is different to my free community support group). This group ensures that not only can you get support from me, but also other ladies who are working with me. Why is this important? Sometimes you may have a question that someone else has also experienced, you might get inspired by others posts and achievements or you might just need a few friendly encouraging words from ladies travelling a similar journey to you.
