Meet Nikole - personal trainer, run coach, sports nutritionist and all-round cheerleader!

Hi, I’m Nikole. As a qualified personal trainer, run coach and certified sports nutritionist, I’m here to help you become a healthier, fitter and happier version of yourself. I’m also here to bust some myths.

My holistic approach covers nutrition, technique and strength training to set you up for long-term running success (and a lifetime of health and wellbeing!)

Most people believe the road to fitness is depriving yourself while exercising for hours on end. That’s simply not true! Healthy living is about having the information to make smart choices every day – which is where I come in.

Here at Intelligent Lifestyle, I promote long lasting sustainable habits that create a healthy lifestyle. And you won’t be on your own – I’m there every step of the way offering personal training and nutrition advice to help you make better choices and improve your lifestyle.

I’ve got my poms poms ready to cheer you on – are you ready to join me?

Supporting everyone to live a healthier life

I’ve been active for my whole life, since my first ballet class at age 3. I continued in all styles of dance well into my 30’s, including teaching dance and choreography. This helped me develop different skill sets – teaching and choreographing trained dancers (athletes) as well as helping singers and actors with no dance experience.

Running on and off since my early teens, it wasn’t until my 30s that I took on my first race – and instantly fell in love with it. Now a keen racer, I’ve tackled multiple 10km and half-marathons, as well as a full marathon and a triathlon. My next challenge? A half ironman!

I believe we are all capable of more than we think we are. But we are individuals with our own strengths, weaknesses and limitations. My role is to help identify these for you so we can work together to reach your full potential.

Skills & expertise for success

My experiences in dance and running have given me a deep understanding of the body, our muscles and the injuries that may come from being physically active. I also have a talent for getting the best out of people and helping them achieve more than they thought they could.

A community ambassador for the annual Mother’s Day Classic, I’ve been running 10km events since 2014. In 2019, I made the move to half-marathons, successfully completing 5 to date. In 2023, I pushed myself further, completing my first full marathon in Sydney.

I’m not just talking the talk – I’m walking running the walk too!
