• CrossFit Kettlebell

Nicole, a Wisconsin native that moved to Naples in 2008 has been with Real Fitness since its beginning stages. Nicole grew up playing soccer competitively and continued her soccer career throughout college. Already realizing the importance of fitness through sports—when college came to an end she still had a drive to continue doing some type of physical activity. “I feel that coming across Real Fitness was a fortunate accident. I enjoyed running and training for soccer--but when that was over I didn’t know what to train for. Now that I have been working out at Real Fitness through the CrossFit methodology I would never look back to doing anything else. Real Fitness has made me realize you do not have to be training for anything in order to train 100% for yourself.” Nicole will be quick to tell you the unique camaraderie Real Fitness holds and its abilities to push members to their highest potential. “There are so many great people looking to change their lives and inspire others to do so as well. Whether they are training for the Olympics or training for real life—there is something at Real Fitness for everyone.”

Nicole graduated with a degree in Sports Management and Business and hopes to continue to stay involved in the sports and fitness field. Currently at Real Fitness she assists with administrative tasks and enjoys helping members to improve through the experiences she had when first starting. “When I first came to Real Fitness I never lifted heavy weights, did pull ups, or worked out ‘for time.’ But I never did those things because I did not know I was capable of it. It was not until I was coached through the movements that I realized the potential I had to accomplish so many things physically. Now, I want to share that with the other members who are intimidated and do not yet understand their limits or abilities.”

Nicole believes anyone can have a gym and anyone can have nice equipment with people that look the part. But she knows Real Fitness has something more besides credentials on a wall. “It is the emotion of the coaches when a member gets their first pull up, or rows their 500 meters in a record time that gets me. That’s why I workout there, and that is why I work there.”
