Hey sis! Glad you’re here for the second episode in the Fit Series as I chop it up with Nicki Jones, CEO of NickiFit! Her slogan is, “Commitment. Consistency. Control.”

And the sista knows how to help us stay committed, practice consistency and execute control.

Nicki’s story into her entrepreneurial venture and fitness journey is inspiring. I worked with Nicki in the Chrysler call center back in the day. But when the company began to lay off employees, Nicki’s personal goal to be healthier led her to the next chapter of her career. As she took the first steps to help herself, she ended up teaching others. What makes NickiFit stand out is her approach: she aims to have free or very low-cost classes in the community.

Our community.

As finances and proximity can be a barrier for women wanting to be work out, Nicki has navigated the course on answering this necessary call. Creating community partnerships has opened doors for others to benefit from Nicki’s instruction, while allowing her to operate in her gift and passion. Nicki is also transparent about initial doubts, not starting out as a stereotypical ‘prototype’ for the fitness industry. But if you ever attend one of her classes, what you’ll witness is fitness, fun and movement comes in all shapes and sizes. We discuss her amazing backstory, obstacles for obtaining health goals and turning her passion into profit. And yes, sis shares why it’s not too late to start getting in shape – but take care of those joints, girl – and more!
