Today we’d like to introduce you to Nigel Noah.
Nigel, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I knew it was time for me to get started when my size 26/28 skirt was tight from waist to knee. I’d lost 60 pounds about a year before (when I joined Fitness Connection), but knew I’d gained 60 plus back.
So, I measured myself; arms 20”, waist 53”, thighs 34”, hips 56”, bust 49”. Not good, and I knew better.
About 2 weeks later, I started researching different boxing/MMA gyms. I loved contact sports and research proved that boxing was the most effective way to lose the weight I needed to lose. I was so ready, I just needed to find the best gym that could offer me exactly what I needed: no mercy, hardcore training.
I knew I didn’t want to be a boxer but I wanted the endurance, strength, confidence and body of one. So, I dove head first not knowing at all what to expect. I was almost 350 pounds at this point. The feeling I had walking into that co-ed gym on the first day…uncomfortable would be an understatement.
Has it been a smooth road?
Honestly, it was a pretty smooth road. It’s crazy to say that because it’s hard for a fit Personal Trainer to get started. I was obviously not physically a Personal Trainer when I started this journey but the confidence and experience I’d gained allowed me the ability to quit my day job as a Systems Info Trainer within 1 month.
So, let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Women’s Elite Boxing Club story. Tell us more about the business.
We specialize in helping women build strong bodies. Our sessions are intense on purpose. We purposely push you to the max so you can see what you can do. I’m extremely proud of our growth. Since opening the gym, I’ve dropped over 100lbs., yes transforming with our clients has been the best thing I could have ever done. It not only grew our business tremendously, but most important it allowed our clients to see that it can be done.
What sets us apart from any other boxing gym is our sessions are designed for women only to come in and receive intense boxing and conditioning training.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
