She stayed, working all over the country to train and mentor staff on how to coach clients and colleagues to achieve results.

Realizing she needed a change, Tonia hired Nick to be her personal boxing trainer—and she’s never looked back. Through boxing, she rediscovered her love of fitness, wellness, and coaching, which has shaped her journey ever since.
