About Nicole
My name is Nicole Bly, I am a 25 year old fitness enthusiast living in Fort Collins, CO.
I grew up in central Pennsylvania, and although I played a handful of sports in high school, I didn't start my fitness journey until I was in college.
When I was 20, I decided I needed to make a change in my life - I was doing too much partying and my health was suffering because of it. I started out slow - walking everyday, doing bodyweight exercises at home and finally starting to eat foods that were actually good for me - after awhile, I finally made the leap and decided to go to the gym. I was intimidated at first, but after getting over my initial fears and making a serious effort to learn about the gym, I was hooked! I think that is, by far, the most important aspect of health and fitness, you have to really want to learn.
I trained for a few months before I decided I wanted to take my next step - I wanted to get on stage! I competed for my first time a few months after my 21st birthday; my first show was the Kumite Classic in Pittsburgh, PA - I took fifth in Open Figure and officially got bit by the competiton bug. As soon as I got off stage I started looking for my next show - the NPC Natural Ohio in 2011. This was my first "real" show, and it showed - I took 13th in my class and left disappointed, but that didn't stop me, just a month later I got back on stage at the NANBF Natural Pittsburgh Championships and took 6th.
I picked out my next show, and made the smartest decision of my life - I finally hired a trainer (hi Kimmy!).. Up until now, I had been training myself, and it wasn't until I hired Kimmy (as an online trainer, believe it or not) that my fitness journey really kicked into the next gear - Kimmy trained me online for 5 months before getting on stage at the NPC Pitt Pro where I placed 3rd (!!) in Women's Physique and earned my National Qualification. She continued to train me for the next 9 months where I got on stage at the Arnold Amateur and took 7th place on my very first international stage!
The progress I made with Kimmy was unbelieveable - I not only looked amazing, but she taught me so much, and became my very best friend. I truly believe in the power of online training, I could have never made it where I am today without her, and I want to share that experience with YOU! Whether you are trying to shape up for an upcoming wedding, vacation, reunion - or if you want to become generally healthier - or if you are training to step on stage yourself - whatever the reason, I want to help guide you on this journey!
