Our Team

Nicola – Owner/Manager/Cardio Queen

Nic has always had a passion for fitness. She loves both ends of the spectrum, running AND weightlifting! Nic has been involved with team sports like netball and soccer (indoor and out) from a young age before discovering weight training. After discovering the joy of getting stronger, she completed her Certificate 4 in Fitness in 2002 and has been in the industry ever since. In 2006, Nic and partner Raf opened Get Fit – a boutique personal training studio in Wanneroo that has won a number of awards. In fact, many of our current members first began training at Get Fit! Nic loves the reward of showing people what they are capable of, and helping members challenge themselves.

When she’s not running the gym like a well oiled machine, Nic loves her running and enjoys triathlons and other endurance events (her favourite is the Blackwood River Marathon). Crossfit is her new passion and she loves the intensity and way it makes you do movements that you should be doing all the time. And makes you huffy puffy. A highlight of Nic’s training career was training with both Ido Portal and Dmitry Klokov.
