Don’t be fooled into thinking that being in the front and looking forward means you’re doing it all by yourself. You can’t always see all the support you’re actually getting from others, and I think that holds truer today than ever before because of how pervasive the silent supporter is online or through social media. @nikkicp415

]]><![CDATA[You can explore more once you understand your constraints.]]>https://thisweek.fitletes.com/p/you-can-explore-more-once-you-understandhttps://thisweek.fitletes.com/p/you-can-explore-more-once-you-understandMon, 31 Aug 2026 00:38:52 GMTConstraints are often seen as something that creates limits, and in some cases they do, but they can also be beneficial. This was something I first picked up during art classes where teachers would create assignments that were limited in the tools you could use, the types of paints, the colors, techniques, and even things like constraining your viewport of a subject. I didn't always appreciate it, but it always unleashed a spark of creativity in my ability to solve problems.

What ended up convincing me that being a coach was what I wanted to do was talking with other local coaches, meeting other older trainers in the industry at events, and seeing where my enthusiasm sat compared to theirs in conversations about the future. Some saw it as a means to an end or a stepping stone to something else, which are great and noble paths, but I routinely came back happy with “just being a coach”. I wouldn't have figured that out so quickly on my own without some assistance. Engaging in conversations with like-minded professionals in your industry is crucial for growth and discovering where you fit best, as well as what you enjoy most about being a trainer.

Those little breaks in time are where I find myself when I think about the past.

]]><![CDATA[A support system is often overlooked when starting your journey.]]>https://thisweek.fitletes.com/p/a-support-system-is-often-overlookedhttps://thisweek.fitletes.com/p/a-support-system-is-often-overlookedSun, 23 Aug 2026 00:00:42 GMTSomething I learned late in life, and try to instill in the clients I work with, is to accept help from those who agree to be part of your support system. You don’t have to do it all by yourself, especially if/when someone in your family or friend circle offers their support. Having a coach can be a game changer for some, but when you spend most of your time outside of your workouts, it’s helpful to have someone who knows your goals, ambitions, and struggles and can be a reliable presence in your life.

To some people who care about that world, this might be more “fashun” than fashion, but to me it was just…me. It was me in the sense that my fashion choices hurt no one; I felt good in them, and I made it so I didn't have to spend energy on something I truly couldn't care less about. It took me a while to realize how this mindset of not wasting energy on things I don’t care about spilled (beneficially) into other areas of my life and practice; maybe it was more obvious to others than to me, but I now see it as a consistent theme in my decision-making as a business owner and a coach. You can’t be everything or the best at everything; you have to choose where to put your energy.

You’re always going to have things going on outside the gym, and on occasion your physical presence might be all you can offer, but it can’t be the majority of days if you have any expectation of seeing results. It’s about honoring your commitments to yourself and learning how and when to ask for help in honoring them. You won’t be your best every day, but you can give “today’s 100%.”
