Nikki is Barbell Logic’s Director of Client Experience and a Strength & Nutrition Coach. She is known for genuinely connecting with her clients, understanding the person behind the plan, and providing the support and accountability needed to create meaningful, lasting change.

Her favorite people to coach are busy moms and dads who want to become stronger, improve their nutrition, and take care of themselves without sacrificing their families or feeling as though they must do everything perfectly. As a full-time working mom of four and an Army spouse, Nikki understands firsthand how difficult it can be to fit training and healthy eating around work, children, deployments, travel, changing schedules, and the everyday demands of family life.

Nikki is especially passionate about supporting women throughout pregnancy and postpartum. She continued strength training through all four of her pregnancies and navigated four postpartum recoveries, each with different needs and challenges. That experience helps her guide women through appropriate training modifications, changing energy and recovery demands, and the mental and physical adjustments that come with each season. Her goal is to help women feel safe, capable, and strong—not pressured to prove how much they can push through.

Her nutrition coaching is practical, flexible, and designed to work for the whole family. Depending on a client’s needs, she may use habit-based strategies, macro tracking, meal planning, recipe ideas, or simple ways to make familiar meals more satisfying and nutritious. Nikki also helps families navigate baby-led weaning, introduce solids with confidence, and use realistic strategies for picky toddlers. She believes healthy eating should feel approachable and enjoyable—and should not require parents to prepare a separate meal for everyone at the table.

Although busy parents and women navigating pregnancy and postpartum are especially close to her heart, Nikki has successfully coached clients with a wide range of backgrounds and goals. Her experience includes beginners learning to lift confidently, military members training at home or while deployed, clients pursuing weight loss or muscle gain, and competitive powerlifters preparing for state, regional, and national meets. Multiple clients have set state powerlifting records under her coaching.

Nikki’s husband is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army, giving her a personal understanding of the unpredictability of military life. She has helped service members prepare for physical fitness tests, maintain their strength during deployments, and adapt their training to limited equipment and constantly changing schedules.

Nikki believes the best coaching plan is not the one that looks perfect on paper. It is the one that challenges you, supports your priorities, adapts when life changes, and helps you continue moving forward.

Her credentials include Professional Barbell Coach, Starting Strength Coach, Precision Nutrition Level 1 and Level 2, and USA Weightlifting. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from the University of Missouri–Columbia.
