Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicole Thomas.
Hi Nicole, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Where should I start?! Fitness has changed my life. PERIOD. In the darkest times of my life, I was able to regain a sense of self and confidence through movement and exercise. I remember many years ago when I lived in Phoenix, Arizona, I saw a picture of myself and could barely recognize myself in the picture. I was the biggest I had ever been. I looked tired and depressed… and I was. After seeing that picture, I knew I needed to do something to change my life. I started “Insanity” by Beach Body. I loved the structure. I loved the challenge and I loved that it was something my bestfriend and I could do together. I was hooked! I gained more energy, my body changed and my mindset elevated. After that, I started to help other women look better and feel better too!
I became a certified trainer (I am also a Nurse Practitioner with 17 years of experience) and started personal training. What I realized over the years is that my heart and ENERGY is to train women in groups. I created my own signature style of group training and coaching which has lead to what SWITCH ENERGY FITNESS is today.
I have discovered that my passion and purpose is to help women become better versions of themselves. I love when one of my members meets a new goal, fits into a pair of jeans they haven’t worn in forever or feels confident on their vacation. They are always so excited when the create new healthy habits. The progress that comes with being a member of SWITCH ENERGY FITNESS is contagious. When you are part of our supportive group of women, it’s much easier to grow and see results, even when life happens.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road has not been smooth. Entrepreneurship has a steep learning curve. The biggest challenge for me really is learning how to juggle doing everything that is required of you as a solopreneur, from marketing to community outreach, scaling my business, creating effective training, coaching/mentoring, and social media management while working a full-time job as a Nurse Practitioner and be mommy, wifey, bestie, daughter and more. I basically have to take things 1 day at a time while planning ahead and staying organized. I could not do it all without my wonderful husband Bradley, my Baby Obi and Big G.O.D!
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Switch Energy Fitness?
SWITCH ENERGY FITNESS specializes in getting women fit and FINE ok! We do high-energy group fitness classes that are so FUN. We are constantly laughing and having a great time. We focus on functional fitness. HIIT and strength training that will have you healthy, feeling good, looking good and aging like fine wine!
I am most proud of the community we have built. The SWITCH ENERGY FIT FAM is like no other (Hey ladies!) We are constantly supporting each other and challenging each other when needed. It’s a sisterhood of love + accountability. We laugh together, pray for each other and we party together. We do monthly fit-fam group activities and celebrate birthdays/holidays. They are the “secret sauce” for SWITCH ENERGY FITNESS that helps me grow and continue to make a real impact in the community.
Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
I am not a big believer in luck. Hard work, persistence, perseverance, trial and error and prayer have gotten me where I am today and will continue to go. Plus, just great customer service. Treat people well…like how you would want to be treated and the seeds of kindness you plant will bear good fruit.
