Nicola is a CrossFit Level 1 Certified Trainer currently coaching CrossFit/Hyrox classes and personal training at FC Fit in Fairfield, Connecticut. Alongside coaching, she also runs her own communications and branding company, Cola Consulting, where she specializes in strategic communications and creative storytelling.

While coaching was not originally part of her career plan, her passion for fitness and helping others grow naturally became an important part of her life. Over time, she realized she was able to merge her two passions — fitness and communications — to fuel a career centered around connection, motivation, and community. What began as a personal commitment to health and performance evolved into an opportunity to inspire others both inside and outside the gym.

Nicola’s coaching style blends motivation, accountability, and positive reinforcement to help athletes and clients feel empowered both physically and mentally. Whether leading classes, training youth athletes, or working one-on-one, she strives to create an environment where people feel challenged, supported, and capable of reaching their full potential.
